It’s almost like there’s a novel about this.

watching history in real time with this filibuster

My precious novel, the result of 10 years of work and research and passion, was listed in the LibGen database today as one of the pirated works used to train AI. Meta is stealing and profiting off the work of artists and writers without consent or compensation. authorsguild.org/news/meta-li...

Breaking news: one year from today variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Have struggled to think about anything but Gaza today

I wrote about the hunger for dystopian fiction despite our fear of the future. lithub.com/why-we-fear-...

Since at least the time of Greek philosophers, many writers have discovered a deep, intuitive connection between walking, thinking, and writing.

Ruth Marcus spent 40 years at the Washington Post and witnessed the newspaper’s editorial principles erode under the ownership of Jeff Bezos. In a new essay, she writes about why she finally made the decision to quit.

Though a certain ~boycott~ ends tomorrow, indie bookshops need our support all year long. We're not going anywhere 💓

Exclusive: The Trump administration has identified another green-card holder it wants to deport, in addition to Mahmoud Khalil, @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Been reading a lot of thrillers and a lot of Amanda Montell. Happy books feel hard to stomach right now.

this is my lore, regrettably

Al Green understood the assignment

So I think I need to buy a pink pantsuit now? Is that what we're wearing to the revolution, gals?

Okay so fact checkers & historians: has it ever happened before that a congressperson was removed forcibly by sergeant at arms during a presidential joint address?

Drinking game, Trump speech version. Take a shot whenever you hear “American dream.”

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

Tonight’s edition of “educating my children is my protest,” a series.

I think some folks need to review their Cold War history. I can suggest a novel for that.

I feel like we're not seeing the same things. So many people in my feed (Facebook - lots of old friends there) are praising Trump for how he "handled" everything with Zelensky. How are we witnessing the same events and not feeling mutual horror?

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Writers for Ukraine

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Let’s take a vote. Will women still be allowed to read in the fall? ‘Cause I’m supposed to be planning a book tour so that’d be a major bummer

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

It’s fun being a writer and trying to write during this delightful era. I’ll write like three paragraphs and before I start on the fourth I blink and I’m doomscrolling and I don’t even remember commanding my hand to click to that tab. Then I go back to writing. Everything is fine! It’s all fine.

How do we convince people of facts if they want to be blind to truth?

@holypost.bsky.social talked the Wheaton controversy and alumni response. You can read our full letter here. www.wheatonopenletter.org

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

what the actual hell www.npr.org/2025/02/26/n...

Let us remember that World War 2 was so very, very recent.

Yeah I’m not okay with this?? @nytimes.com

I just watched a woman be forcibly dragged out of a town hall for voicing her concerns. Democracy has left the chat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPiL...

As the legendary @janefonda.com points out, this is our generation’s moment to write history. The future is in our hands. We cannot hide in fear or run away from the fight. Start by building power in your local community: hrc.im/inyourarea

Project 2025 was just the stuff they were willing to put into print.

this week's cover is on point ht: @jamiegangel.bsky.social

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Cannot overstate how good this book is right now and how necessary

Hello from the upside down, how are we surviving?

If it waddles and quacks like a coup...

Arguably one of the best forms of protest is education. My four year old spent the morning learning about apartheid, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, bus boycotts and watching this incredible piece with PBS and @amandagorman.bsky.social youtu.be/_fbQBKwdWPg?...

Just finished this amazing novel by Icelandic author Hildur Knútsdóttir - highly recommend for fans of literary horror & the uncanny

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

i thought i was keeping up with the news well but holy cow www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw0F...

This is easily the best site I have used for calling my representatives. I spent just a few minutes tonight calling about Ukraine - let's flood their offices with our concern! 5calls.org

Writing a novel is just choosing which of your own traumas get published first.
