It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I see authors sheepishly announcing books, or apologizing for good news. Friends: we’re enduring an onslaught of censorship and bigotry. I am PROUD that you wrote anything. Please yell about what you're doing. Art is a fuel to keeps many of us going.

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional. This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected. This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.

Reskeet this until it breaks. Then reskeet it again. We need to flood Congress with phone calls TODAY to make sure they don't slip the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into a must-pass year end bill. This bill would make kids LESS safe and threatens LGBTQ ppl & human rights.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Yeremi Colino was 18. He was an immigrant. He was killed after being asked if he spoke English. The NYPD isn't investigating his murder or the attempted murder of the person with him as a hate crime, and there is no reward offered. Thank you for raising this, Anil.

It's Transgender Awareness Week. Please be aware of how shitty things are for the trans community and how much worse they're about to get. Don't tell a trans person they're overreacting about how things are going. Support trans people in bad spots. Recognize our value while we're still alive.

Audiobook narrators have a guild. That guild rightly sets the minimum rate you can hire an audiobook narrator for. I pay above minimum rate for an excellent narrator. This means I have paid over £40,000 to produce audiobooks. Audible pay us less than $2 per audiobook.
