Driving home tonight my dashboard flashed "CAUTION: ICE MAY BE PRESENT", and I panicked for a moment until I realized it just meant the road might be slippery. #AbolishICE #FuckICE #ICEoutforGood #StandWithMinneapolis

In late 2024, my essay "Now Is the Winter of Our Discontent" - in which I read our Felon-in-Chief as Shakespeare's Iago and Richard III - was published in this anthology. Alas, time has proven me right. Somehow I hadn't heard about all the honors the book has garnered. www.nettirw.com/anthologies

ICE Vs ice.

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

Recognize Trump's expression from this meeting with US oil executives yesterday? If this were an episode of South Park, in response to their obvious and understandable skepticism about investing in Venezuela, he'd been saying, "Hey, guys, relax!" 😂

An ICE agent in Minnesota showing their current mentality

DHS propaganda for their ethnic cleansing operation quotes “By God We'll Have Our Home Again” a white nationalist song sung to the tune of Rolling Down to Old Maui, a 19th century sea shanty. Its lyrics are most often credited to a U.S. fraternal neo-Nazi group.

I think the contradiction at the core of liberalism is pretty well illustrated by saying that it’s time to defend democracy like our life depends on it—but to do it in a way that is perfectly orderly and respectful of the law enforcement officers assaulting it

I know I have some Pittsburgh people on here, please come to the EMERGENCY PROTEST @ 7PM tonight outside Pittsburgh City County Building 414 Grant St. 50501 & Pittsburgh Women for Democracy calling for the action.

Please spread the word and join us. Vigil scheduled for 5:00 today at E. 34th Street and Portland Ave S. in Minneapolis for woman murdered by ICE agents.

Satirical website builder extraordinaire @tobymorton.bsky.social strikes again, with lightning speed and brilliance. He's already received and responded with typical irreverence to a takedown notice from Hilton. He's not active here, but you can give him a follow on IG as @wordclown. hiltonice.com

Well, that seems potentially auspicious!

It's official! My award-winning novels are back in print! I'm profoundly grateful to Ten16 Press for their support. To my existing - and future - readers ... heartfelt thanks for going on this journey with me and the characters of these stories. 🙏 #writingcommunity #authorlife #awardwinningbooks

My "fictionalized memoir" that won awards for New Adult Fiction and LGBTQ Fiction and releases from a new publisher on 12/2 (see pinned post) take places from '85 to '92, in part in Seattle, home to Nirvana. Of course it includes an allusion to the famous anthem! #80sculture #writingcommunity #GenX

Author copies of the Ten16 Press editions of my novels arrived today! They'll release together in two weeks, on 12/2. If you're in Pittsburgh, you can buy them at the talk and signing at a local bookstore in January. (Details coming soon!) Preorder links in the thread. #writingcommunity

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

On a podcast last summer, I performed an original 17.5-minute work of creative nonfiction: "My New Tattoo, or, The Incomparable Lightness of Being." I've now uploaded the audio recording to my YouTube channel as video with a still image of the titular tattoo. If you listen, enjoy the journey. 🙏🕉️☮️💓

If you haven't seen Freaky Tales, I found the entire film quite entertaining. As a bonus, it will likely vicariously fulfill any desire you have to commit violence against Nazis! Streaming on HBO MAX and available on other platforms. #antifa #iamantifa #antifascist #fucknazis

This seems like a good time to be crystal clear about something: I am Antifa. #IAmAntifa #antifa #antifascist #defenddemocracy #nokings #resist #wethepeople

(1/3) Sept. 14 is #SexWorkerPrideDay!

Galleys for the Ten16 Press editions of my novels arrived today! One's dedicated to my mother's memory. This would've been her 88th birthday. The other's dedicated to my life partner. The books will be released on the anniversary of our first date, 12/2. #writingcommunity #authorlife #synchronicity

I got a handful of suggested revisions for my 5k-word story "The Bubble" from the editors of the anthology in which it will appear soon. They were good ones: changes from pronoun to the noun being referred to and other simple clarifications. #writingcommunity #authorlife #ampublishing #scifi #clifi

If you thought the creators of South Park would tone it down after the season premiere ... think again. The new episode might even take it up a notch. If you haven't see it, find a way to watch!

Ummm ... "Shall we play a game?" IYKYK

In doing a light edit to Kat's Cradle for the forthcoming Ten16 Press edition, I've fallen in love with the characters all over again. Given that the second book in the Webolution series is my next project, this is an inspiring development. #writingcommunity #amwriting #scifi #authorlife

I often write about the *ineffable* -- experiences that cannot be expressed in words. I had such an experience this morning while sitting in the Hanuman Temple at the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Taos. Om Shanti! 🙏🕉️☮️💓

Of all the great moments at today's No Kings Day #protest in #Pittsburgh today, this one was the most quintessential demonstration of the Steel City character.

I have designed an 11"x17” poster for the June 14th protest. If you would like a printable file of it to print out and use at the protest or display in your window, please message me.

I'm Being Here Now in Pittsburgh at the moment. In a few hours, I'll do it in Boston.
