Enter to win a book!

Come out to King Coil Spirits in Saint Paul, MN on 3/19 from 6-8:30pm for Lit & Libations #MN I hear the cocktails are tasty. I don't drink so I can't give an opinion on them, but I have had their fancy pizzas and found them pretty tasty. C'mon out and browse books, chat up authors, drink & eat.

Fried rattlesnake is not a big thing in OK. Is this map just taking the piss?

Preordered the paperback at Black Garnet Books St Paul today! @kashana.blacksky.app ! I am excited for the May release

Further proving Fetterman is an underhanded shitheel sellout. Anyone voting to confirm unethical slime MWM is not on our side. MWM was my Rep for years. UGH. 😡 "Even without Paul’s support, one Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who sits on the committee, has already pledged his vote."

If you’re on here claiming women and children lie, especially claiming they lie *a lot*, about SA, I will block you & give no fucks about your opinion on anything that exists.

The nationwide book ban bill is now entering the House of Representatives for consideration. Here's everything you need to know about HR 7661, including next steps to take in helping defeat this anti-LGBTQ, anti-intellectual, pro-voucher bill before it goes any farther: bookriot.com/hr7661-advan...

I don't honestly remember going to anything special, except an occasional event that was for the whole district and held in the Civic Center, like I think Neil Armstrong came to town once and did a program. We might have gone to the zoo in the next closest town.

Created a special edition of a short story, complete with cover art for an upcoming SFF con :D Content of story may earn me a "never invite them back" badge!

Soooo...has anyone had appendicitis? What were your early symptoms?

Good article from @janefriedman.com on the shortcomings of AI certification programs based on the honor system, w/ a focus on the Authors Guild's Human Authored program. She makes an important point: there's little evidence (as yet) that it matters to readers janefriedman.com/my-concerns-...

The other thing going on is pre-orders are open for the Rewind Book Fair @ MN State Fairgrounds Apr 18-19 #booksky #minnesota #MN 10% discount for pre-order books! Linktree profile has pre-order link & Goodreads giveaway link! linktr.ee/MalloryGlass

Folks, I'm having such a wild month that I totally forgot about the Goodreads Giveaway I'm doing for Me + You. Runs from 3/15 to 3/31. (US addresses only, sorry!) www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Today at Ghoulish Books in San Antonio

Well, it looks like I am not going to Duluth this weekend as an author for the book fair/fundraiser I’m sorry, Duluth! You can still give to CANMN or other MN orgs. People are facing eviction! www.standwithminnesota.com

From article: As Desmond Tutu said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

Disturbed by the petty-as-fuck behavior of the person who wants me to cat-sit for them. Pays well, at least.

The fallout of the government's terror campaign against the people of MN continues. Give if you can, that would be awesome.

One last thought on jealousy and envy of more successful peers: You’re not a monster for feeling it. Jealousy is a reaction, nearly an instinct. It’s the easy way Being happy for ppl’s success takes practice. It’s a *conscious decision* you make over and over. It’s hard at first, but it’s worth it

The boycott is still going. Do not fall for this Tribune BS piece trying to claim this group ended the national boycott.

Started watching Alien: Earth and my rabbit is not enjoying the weird lab creature noises in E1. She keeps tiptoeing around the room (it's a sneaky rabbit walk they do instead of hopping).

Wayfair really out here trying to sell this rug for $400+ w/ AI generated slop picture-the bunny has three eyes & its nose is off sides. ROFL because it was served to me as an ad. Why would I buy this when you can’t be bothered to show the real thing? Unless it does have 3 eyes.

Frey is all talk -- he postured on the national news "fuck 🧊" but doesn't prevent the victims of govt terror from getting evicted. Then he'll bulldoze the homeless encampment they'll end up in, a month or two down the road.

#Booksky Preorders are up on our website for Joyce Chng @jolantru‘s terrific short story collection, SAILING THE GOLDEN CHERSONESE, featuring a transmasc pirate captain and their beloved sailing fantastical seas! More platforms coming soon! queenofswordspress.com/product/sail...

Is it unprofessional to congratulate the book cover artist for being the first person to make me cry in a decade? Just wondering.

Today's meltdown once again brought to you by my book cover artist. Thanks! I needed to cry before lunch. What in the fresh hell ever led them to think I asked for the color of the front cover Title of my OTHER book to be changed?

As millions of Americans were losing their SNAP benefits the Pentagon spent: 🔹️$6.9 million worth of lobster tails🦞 🔹️$15.1 million for ribeye steak 🥩 🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀 🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano ✏️ by @newrepublic.com

My March #CraftArticle is a contemplation on "bad" writing and "good" writers and whether those terms actually have any place in our literary world, thinking about subjectivity, spiky profiles, and eating chocolate: prattlefogandgravelrap.substack.com/p/did-i-writ...

Let's see if I can get more than 2.5 hours of sleep tonight. Let's see how fast the book cover artist can send me YET ANOTHER fix/correction and how long it takes me to upload the template. Let me try not to lose my mind this weekend.

#Booksky Last day for the Smashwords sale! Get some great queer reads! www.smashwords.com/profile/view...

Here’s a thing. OK used to be purple. My county often had Dems in leadership. We got gerrymandered and Limbaugh’d and Fox News’d into a deep red state, but Dems still exist there.

Thinking back to that time Markwayne Dingleberry Mullins had an ethics inquiry for using his business vans (Mullins Plumbing) in his campaign ads, which was against the rules. Every time I passed one on the highway, I gave it the laser eye stare.

I swear to you from direct experience as a former constituent of this dude, this is one weak ass, useless, motherfucker. Unethical. A coward. Ignorant. Have I said useless? If you don’t remember, he was the prodigy of equally gormless Jim ‘Snowball’ Inhofe, may he roast in hell.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today. You can call your Senators, too. Find them here: reps.fyi

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline. I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate. Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Ugh. Supposed to have PT today (foot), but having such a terrible fibro body ache day that I’m calling to cancel. Even my teeth hurt. 😔

Every Dem who voted to confirm Trump’s nominees should get primaried. It doesn’t matter that they couldn’t stop it. They endorsed it. —The thought I have every time I have to look at RFK smirking & espousing his crackpot ideas, or when I hear another person died in ICE custody. You said yes to this.

#Booksky Working on getting the preorders up, but in the meantime, look at the incredible cover art by @bydhiyanah.bsky.social for @jolantru.bsky.social’s SAILING THE GOLDEN CHERSONESE! Queer pirates, Naks and magic coming your way soon!

In what might be an all-time first, KDP admitted to screwing up the print job on my order and refunded me on 7 out of 20 books. And then emailed me about it three times today.

Had to move my writing stuff to make room for this fluffy asshole (or else she eats my work).

A lot of misinformation out there these days, but make sure you know WHO you are voting for this year. Don't just vote for "whoever isn't that one guy" and make sure they are legit (as far as you can tell. I mean, you could get Fetterman'd without realizing it).

Read entire thread and prepare!
