BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

if the US government logs these trees at the rate / quantity they're proposing, we'll lose one of the last old-growth forests. there's no coming back from that. if you have five minutes to leave a comment pushing back against the BLM, please do; there's a guide to that below.

Later this month, I'll be doing a reading from THAT DEVIL, AMBITION with five other lovely authors hosted by @swsworlds.bsky.social! Join us and find your next favorite SFF story. There will be giveaways, too!

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

I grew up as a girl, and lemme tell you: the Mean Girls (and the Mean Gays they tokenized) were utterly traumatizing.
They weren't cool.
People were relieved to get away from them.

Grow up, please, for yourself and our entire community.

So many folks need a reminder that Regina George was a BULLY, not GOALS.

The sheer amount of grown women, femme-enbies, and drag queens I see putting their feminine identity into the Mean Girls flavor makes my heart hurt.

Elle Woods is RIGHT FREAKING THERE.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

ICE agents tear-gassed kids. This is not law enforcement. Leave our city alone.

In the foreground, two vampires ride a teal tandem bicycle. In front, a white man with graying hair, a light gray suit, and bright red tie holds a pink slushie and looks adoringly at his husband behind him, who has luscious curly black hair, a plum purple suit, puffy cravat, and is holding a blood red popsicle. In the front basket, a black cat perches with her paws up. Behind them, a festival is underway with bright pink tents and red flags in front of dark green trees. People mill about, some wearing pointy witch hats. Yellow text with a pink drop shadow spells out "SUMMER COVEN" over a dark blue sky with a yellow crescent moon at the top, and at the bottom in yellow text is "Authors of Dead & Breakfast" just above "Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor"

🩸COVER REVEAL! 🩸

Arthur and Sal are back for another romp in SUMMER COVEN! This time, the summer solstice festival plays host to a mysterious coven of witches, some bold fashion choices, and one horrible murder.

The Death and Rebirth of the Queer Bookstore Hi! Before we get started… Right now, you can get a Humble Bundle including everything Annalee Newitz and I have published with Tor for just $18 (plus...

Queer bookstores died in 2010. We had a funeral and everything!

Except... a ton of people decided to roll up their sleeves and start *new* queer bookshops, all over the place. In cities. In tiny towns.

My latest newsletter is about the rebirth of the LGBTQ bookshop:

Indie authors using Draft2Digital, this does indeed work, and your self pubs can now be sold on bookshop.org

A stack of paperback advance reader copies of Being Aro sit on a black stool with small painted cherries. On the cover, the title is written in big black letters against a green gradient background. Interwoven with the letters is a person with green skin, short black hair, white clothes and platform boots. They kneeling on the ground and are aiming a bow and arrow to the upper right. They are wearing the aromantic flag around their neck and it is trailing out behind them like a cape.

Ohohoho ARCS have landed!

BEING ARO, my next book co edited with Madeline Dyer, releases in May from Page Street! I’m so hyped to share this collection with y’all and celebrate aromantic stories!

The Psychology of Predators YouTube video by Psychology with Dr. Ana

I always love videos by Dr. Ana! This one is very good and gives a breakdown into predatory people in society & how they navigate relationships. From classmates to politicians, neighbors to the elite, this video gives great insight into common inner-workings of predators.

MAGA is having some difficult feelings and definitely not using their big person words.

Be who you are!

Hello BLUE SKY!

My name is Nick Walden Poublon. I was the '24 Democratic nominee for Oregon HD 52. I narrowly lost a race against the Republican Minority Leader who stepped down from that position after eking out a win on me. I have three cats, a husband I love and a country I'm desperate to save.

I am running for office in what local papers call one of the truly flippable district in the state of Oregon.

We have a chance to turn a red district BLUE.

I'm calling on all Oregonians because when I am sent to Salem I will represent ALL of us.
