Getting close now to book launch - just a little over two months to go 🌝 #books

Two to pre-order: @kerrischlottman.bsky.social’s DAYTIME MOON & Luke Goebel’s KILL DICK. I recently finished the former & am now reading the latter. Wildly different books, they share a thread: the complication of searching for one’s own identity while navigating chaos, precarity, and loss.

Cover reveal! My next novel is now available for pre-order from your favorite indie bookstore or through Unnamed Press, coming May 12! 🌝

My brain is going deep into the California desert as we prepare my next book DAYTIME MOON to become a novel in the world 🌞 #booksky #authors

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

My debut novel, AMERIKALAND, which Foreword called “a riveting novel about fascism in America,” feels unfortunately timely these days. #authorsky #booksky amerikaland.com

"Stay sane, stay humane, and don't isolate... Staying connected, not isolating, and not allowing yourself to drown in fear or rage is not submitting in advance." This is a really good piece. 👇

The photographer Larry Fink “was patient enough to blend into the wallpaper as needed,” writes Lucy Sante, “but he resisted the presumption of invisibility and omniscience.”

This is happening TODAY!! Grab a friend, grab a neighbor, grab a union sibling, and SHOW UP!

Thinking of the authors pubbing in the midst of this madness. We see you! Keep promoting your books - it's a nice change to see good news here for once 📚 #booksky #authors 🫶🏻

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

🙏🏻 book clubs are the best!

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

@joshthelibromancer.bsky.social on preserving the independence of our bookstores and libraries: “A just world starves fascism of the nutrients it needs to thrive.”

You all, this is all coup activity. Complete and total. Media at all levels needs to be clear on this. the.ink/p/usaid-foug...

Something to look forward to 🖤 #booksky #📚

“We should be alarmed at the thought of books being pulled from shelves because of a few people with agendas that have more to do with divisive politics than books, education, and libraries,” Jones warns. “And we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.” thecurrentga.org/2025/01/31/t...

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

Officially signed the publishing contract with Unnamed Press for my next novel DAYTIME MOON & can't wait to introduce you to Isa, my tarot reading protagonist from the California desert (in May 2026) 🖤 #booksky #books www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/a...

One man is responsible for getting 100s of books (including mine!) banned in Clay County, FL. One sad dude! Sitting there filling out form after form with false claims about books he hasn't even read! The loudest voices have an outsize impact. We need to be loud--and persistent--too. 5calls.org

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.

It is unsustainable for one party to specialize in destruction — and the other to specialize in narration of destruction and letter writing.

Others may call it a “pause” or whatever euphemism they like. But we should call this what it is: Trump attempting another coup. open.substack.com/pub/anandwri...

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has announced that it is arbitrarily dismissing student and parent complaints arising out of public schools’ documented acts of censorship and discrimination. Our response: Book bans are real. Full statement ➡️ www.ala.org/news/2025/01...

Great article. I'm always skeptical when any man calls himself a feminist. Show don't tell, as they say #booksky www.vox.com/culture/3952...

This very much on my mind these days, again: The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters. ---Antonio Gramsci

I had a dream that Vivek Ramswamy wrote a book titled The Holy Bible about the time he went to space and couldn't poop and for some reason I was at his book launch. Life is getting far too metaphorical. Also, if this actually happens IRL, you heard it here first #books #booksky #dreams

New interview: I talked to @chrislhayes.bsky.social about how attention became the new oil and gas, and how you can wrest it back from extractive oligarchs who are Trump’s new BFFs. the.ink/p/pay-attent...
