now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply do something you can be proud of on your way out

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

I mean, any time anyone who's a genre snob wants to write a nation-spanning mosaic novel with viewpoints from teenagers to world leaders that makes readers both laugh and cry, is reviewed positively, hits bestseller lists and also, by the way, is about the moon turning to fucking cheese, be my guest

The Trump admin just exempted over 100 chemical plants, sterilizers & coal facilities from Clean Air Act rules, rolling back protections that would’ve cut cancer risk by up to 96% for nearby communities.

They’re giddy about putting undocumented immigrants into a prison surrounded by alligators. They are such hateful, despicable people that they are fantasizing about human beings being eaten by alligators.

This WIP I'm writing will definitely need more content warnings than my other books. It's going to touch on many women's rights issues as well as human rights in general. As always, it will be full of LGBTQ+ themes, and rainbows, lots of rainbows.

I actually wrote some of a new WIP today until my cat tried to type for me. Her additions were not good. Also, I'm sure I had a title idea if I can just find the sticky note I wrote it on. I know I put them in a ziplock bag so they wouldn't get mixed up with the sticky notes used as cat toys.

This country is burning. Some are ignorantly cheering it on, others are trying to ignore it all, and the rest of us are watching in horror as all the things that made this country great are being violently stripped away at the hands of a sociopathic, racist, wanna be dictator and his evil henchmen.

If you are tired and need motivation to get out and protest on Saturday, I have an ebook coming out on Friday (on Amazon) that is filled with examples of peaceful protests — and hope for the future. It's a quick read. It will be available on Kobo+ on Saturday. See below to preorder ⬇️

This is how my mornings go a lot these days. Me: *puts on cat tv and feeds cat before making my coffee* Cat: *eats and stares at tv* Me: *walks towards the window* Cat: "I'm bored." *blocks my path* Me: "I'm want to open the blinds." Cat: "K" *she moves* I swear she says "K" rather than "okay."

People in Indiana, Kentucky, and southern Ohio, you need to get inside into a safe place. This weather looks bad. Kentucky already had a Tornado Emergency which is way worse than a tornado warning. I'm hunkered down in the bathroom with my cat. I don't know if I will get any sleep tonight.

I just wrote a scene so huge that I don't know how I will be able to top it in subsequent stories. It's full of so much magic and music and the largest rainbow ever. There is absolutely no way the rainbow could be bigger. I need time to recover from that scene.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

We're in The Bad Place, folks. The existence of an overseas gulag to which you - yes, you personally - can be sent with no recourse marks the end of a whole period of American history. There's no going back after this. Even if these guys are defeated, the new order will have to look much different.

So basically they're gonna claim *anyone they don't like is an antifa domestic terrorist, arrest them w/o charges, ship them off to a concentration camp in El Salvador, and then shrug if/when SCOTUS tells them to stop and bring them back. *this includes **US citizens **this includes white people

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

I think we need to take a lesson from my cat. She walks all over me, gets in my way, and prevents me from getting anything done until I do what she wants. She doesn't take no for an answer, and we shouldn't either. This is how we should be until we take back our democracy. #StopFascismInAmerica
