Todayβs the day! In Minnesota? Check out one of the indie bookstores listed here for the #AuthorsForMinnesota Day Event. Weβre raising $ for Immigrant Law Center of MN & the Womenβs Foundation of MN Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. Iβm at Once Upon a Crime in Mpls from 12-4. Come say hi!
Looking for something bookish to do today? Come on by and chat horror with us.
I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
This over the course of 5 days, disrupting lives now and endangering them going forward any time they need to show licenses or IDs.
This while marauding ogres are demanding arbitrary identification or else they lock you up for as long as they like.
And it's the year of a major federal election.
This is extremely dangerous for those who use wish lists for organization & mutual aid. Please share far & wide.
where is justice for Nurul Amin Shah Alam? when will those charged with holding the guilty accountable demand that justice?

I got the call from @laneheymont.bsky.social this morning, but this is the first time I've seen it in print: GIRL IN THE CREEK is a Stoker finalist for Best Novel!
I have to look at it again, because it's almost impossible to believe my eyes.
