Was on a panel recently focusing on changing the narratives around toxic presentations of heroes. Here're thoughts expanded from that. Tldr: men can do better. Violence against women as a social norm should be seen as virulent cancer, not a given benefiting the worst of us. Don't feed disease.

Sweet, strange uncitizens: ONCE I WAS MADE OF EARTH is here, an epic fantasy that's been ratling in my brain for years now and that I'm putting out into the world serially outside of the capitalist publishing apparatus. Share, and read, and comment. archiveofourown.org/works/91618061

The painting "The Moment" by James Warden, with the text "Once I Was Made of Earth" on it by Rivers Solomon. The painting is in the romantic style, quite dramatic and dark in tone if not colour, with a horse rearing with fear in its eyes as a snake launches to bite it, against a back drop of pink and blue mountains.

Today's word is BUSY. Today's #BookQW from DIRECT DESCENDANT (DAW Books, Inc. 2025) a cozy horror set in Northern Ontario where eldritch horrors are cuddly, hell hounds are more or less house trained, and macarons are half price after 4PM. AND today, August 19th, it's a $2.99 Kindle daily deal.

Cover image in lower right - a bakery, a person walking past eating a cup cake, and tentacles. Because...um, why not? Greens, yellows, and black except for the framing silver birch.

I hadn't floated this theory to the rest of the Four, but they
weren't Chris. "Could be, Travis hooked up with Another Dark, shifted the balance of power, and the Dark is too busy putting down a rebellion
to stay in touch."
"All that since sunrise? I guess we'll find out if eldritch hordes burst forth from the cellar to destroy the earth."
I pointed a rolling pin at him. "You seem remarkably blasé about that possibility."
"I'm panicking inside."
" Join the club," I sighed.
And that was Tuesday.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.
