If you still think we can politely and quietly vote our way out of this, you fundamentally do not understand the cult of America. This is the inevitable conclusion of this story.

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

Please don't stop creating 🩷

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.

Can music and graffiti save the world? Scarlet, Cassandra, and Mary believe it can. Forgotten Parallels comes out on Friday the 13th. Don't be scared. books2read.com/Forgotten-Pa...

Wild that Trump chose the wealthiest state in the union with the largest international pull to soft launch a civil war. Can’t wait to see how this plays out for him.

Trump will try to provoke violence. Keep protests peaceful. Look out for instigators.

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.

Joni was right: we’re all going to die.

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 ⬇️

Forgotten Parallels is available to preorder now. The official release date it Friday the 13th. a.co/d/eQU71lk

Huge thank you to the person who purchased both Broken Parallels and Parallel Tales today. I got so used to seeing zeros on my report page. I hope you enjoy them.

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.

Wait, I can’t read what it—oh. I get it now.

Have people seen the email from Mozilla asking for voice donations? While they're not stealing, I don't think this is as cút and dried as they make it seem. See screenshots in comments.

If you're playing Sapphic Book Bingo, you can use me for the New Author square. jae-fiction.com/new-sapphic-...

Reading the comments online, it’s AMAZING to me just HOW FUCKING STUPID so many Americans are when it comes to BASIC SHIT like the rules of supply and demand. Amazon and Target will have empty shelves? Shop somewhere else they say! YOU IGNORANT FUCKS!!

What was left of him should have been fish shit in the Atlantic seabed four years ago.... this is an obscenity for good people to be put thru this again...

-- 39,335 words (including dedication, about the author, etc) -- 28 chapters Now I need to send off to my trusted second set of eyes before final edits and formatting. But Forgotten Parallels is finished.

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.

Also arrived today: New camera, a Coolpix 1100 (purchased in advance and avoidance of tariffs). Inaugurated it with, of course, a photo of a cat.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

This is it people. This is the moment of the camps.

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

A message to the President of El Salvador: You may be following Trump’s lead—but no one gets left behind. If you choose to disrespect our country, our judges, and our Supreme Court, then it’s time for a boycott.

So proud to have been one of the MILLIONS of us marching yesterday to tell Trump & Elon #HandsOff!! ✊🏼

I posted an edited snippet from my WIP on my Substack because it's too long to post here. substack.com/@shelschneid...

I wish I could share what I just wrote for my WIP because it gave me chills. It's so much tied into events from yesterday. However, it would spoil the ending if I shared. Why does it have to be so tempting to share?

Also, asking people to publicly announce all their activism is, um, dangerous? I dunno if people have been paying attention but [gestures at everything].

Huge crowd of protesters forming at the Hands Off! protest in Boston, Massachusetts! Let's go!

Portland, ME showed up. #HandsOff

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

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.

Virtual event today for those who can't physically go out. 2pm to 4pm PDT www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

Have I mentioned that current events have been mirroring significant scenes in my series?

A bird flu pandemic is looming. The virus has jumped to a sheep in Yorkshire, proving it’s adapting. With every spillover, the risk of human transmission grows. Time is running out swift action is our only defense.

Wow, just WOW!! Looks like orange Slim Shady is at it again…👇 What. The. Actual. Fuck. ✨

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
