Hey. Stop apologizing for promoting your book. You see all these “writing is resistance! write, make art!” posts that have been going viral like every day around here? Promoting the book you wrote so people know it exists is supposed to be the end result of that. You’re fine. Just promote your book.

I'm a little more concerned about the labor camp(s), mass deportations, our trans citizens being targeted, our allies being punished, an unelected psychopath having access to basically everything the president does...you know. Fall of democracy shit. Tomatoes are pretty far down the list right now.

I want to remind people that indigenous people were here first. The land was either stolen, or negotiated by treaty. The US Government in this very day and age are still violating treaties that were meant to stand FOREVER or at least until we all die out. Which my presence confirms we ARE STILL HERE

We’re all angry and worried and maybe some don’t feel like creating or no longer feel like it matters, but keep writing, painting, dancing, making music, making art. Not doing the things that bring you joy—not making art—doesn’t help. Do what you love harder than ever.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
