Things I'm grateful for today: My wife is home. Green chile. Iced coffee. Long talks with @jodipayne.bsky.social (even if I kept her up too late.

Oh, this looks fun. *grabs it up*

THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

Did I hear someone say it was National Wine Day?

#NationalDogDay -- Meet Bernie, Boomieshark, and Precious. :D

Not sure why Republicans are so intent on pushing America toward a police state, but Texas just gave us another example. GOP leaders forced Democratic lawmakers who had broken quorum to sign so-called “permission slips,” effectively agreeing to be tracked and escorted by state

It never ends. Last night three local Texas activists, along with a Democratic leader, gathered at the Texas Capitol to show support for Rep Nicole Collier. Collier who had refused to sign a GOP-mandated “permission slip” requiring a Department of Public Safety escort and instead staged an overnight

Good Morning! Do the Little Free Libraries in your area have banned books in them? Your assignment this week is to find out & if not make sure they do! (As always bonus points if the books are by living authors from communities being targeted by book banners!)

Thank you to Free DC and everyone joining the protests to help #FreeDC. ✊

Meiselas: A MAGA anti-vax extremist opened fire on the CDC, killing a heroic Black officer. 500 shots fired. Do we hear Trump or JD Vance saying anything? Cohen: Not even thoughts and prayers.

This Saturday, nationwide “Fight the Trump Takeover” protests will take place with 50 rallies across 20 states to oppose Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas. “Fight the Trump Takeover” is coordinated by Texas for ALL(@texasforall.bsky.social), the day of action pushes back against

I'm trying not to panic. So far, it's not working.

Since it’s in mastercards rules that content that is ”patently offensive and lacks serious artistic value”, I think all artists should all call in and politely ask for the definition of “patently offensive” and where we can find the comity responsible for determining “artistic value”

Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military. Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

Given the current events, I wanted to remind folks that the last thing we should be doing right now is staying silent and obeying in advance.

*grins* Not only was it rough, the entire plot hangs on the fact that I wrote it before smart phones... ;-)

I bought this one the day it came out. Second chances are my jam. ❤️

Is it cheating to put an iced coffee in your protein shake? Asking for a friend...

#QueerPrompts Hey y'all! I write LGBTQ+ cowboy romances while hanging with my wife and our hound dogs. If I'm not writing, I'm crafting. Right now I'm working on Cowboy Wanted 4 and a charity novella (but I want to be writing on a shiny new idea...)

Things bringing me joy lately: 📖 Local book clubs 🏳️‍🌈 My wife 🧑‍🍳 Australian cooking shows 🍅 Tomatoes from the garden 🌹 Roses on their second bloom 🐉 D&D on the weekends 🪑 My new chair! 🧶 New knitting class on Sunday What's bringing you joy?

So, I need to write a bonus story for my newsletter this month, and I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone have any prompts to spark a thought?

Just picked this one up on audio. Looks fascinating as all get out.

Also, hey, go buy a bunch of hidden-from-search books and PROVE THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS WRONG. tormentedartifacts.itch.io

UPDATE: If you have a confirmed report on a book that has been REMOVED or DELISTED on itch, please share the titles and authors in this thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This is so fucking depressing. With each year, a major platform is hit with more censorship of adult content (Gumroad, Patreon, Etsy, and now Itchio). If you want to help fight back, please consider signing the ACLU petition here: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

This.

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

It doesn’t matter if you don’t directly engage with nsfw work, letting a few large companies control what art is censored is bad for *all* of us. (And let’s be real, they’re coming after all queer work as well even if it contains nothing nsfw.)

This is my entire position today. :P

Okay...I have to admit I was intrigued enough to buy this. *grins* I'm a sucker for a second chance.

I'm having one of those mornings where I just am going to have to go with surviving is a win...

Trying to have faith in something while the world burns, so I spent some time with a friend.

I was today years old when I learned the term #hopepunk. OMG. OMG. I love this so hard!

Okay, y'all. I'm trying to figure this platform out, but it's not coming easy to this old bat...

Way too many people think of community as "me and all of my friends helping each other." You will not always like everyone you are in community with. You will need to support them at times, and at other times you will have to rely on them. You will still not like them. Community isn't about like.

Just a reminder.

I can't stop crying.
