““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

The book signing event is a two for one deal: me and another Dartmouth High alumni, Rose Sutherland @sutherrose.bsky.social - fun fact, we had the same creative writing teacher! Come hang out with us both 1-3pm on Sat. Oct 11 at Indigo (Chapters) Dartmouth at MicMacMall

Some pretty book covers✨

Evening     you gather back        all that dazzling dawn has put asunder:                    you gather a lamb             gather a kid gather a child to its mother

Eros the melter of limbs (now again) stirs me— sweetbitter unmanageable creature who steals in

     far more sweetsounding than a lyre golder than gold

There's a lot going on in my world right now, but one of the best things is I can finally share that I'm now being represented by the utterly wonderful Maggie Cooper at Aevitas Creative Management, and planning to dig back into revisions on DAISY, THE DEAD MAN, & THE WHORE NEXT DOOR soon!

A different org, but you can also donate directly to the Gaza Soup Kitchen right here.

If we're doing groceries and take-out discourse, here's my take: Man-made famines are crimes against humanity. If you can help the World Central Kitchen in Gaza, please do. Donate dollars. Call your reps. Share their story in your communities to invite help.

We just got some great new books in our Tors Cove shop! Stop by 10:30-5, daily (except Wednesdays) or find them all online at www.runningthegoat.com

When it’s veering into weirdness at breakneck speed, mmhm that’s the good stuff.

“We’re all tired of queers, right?” is the sum total of this panel description, whistling to dogs through a fig leaf of “strong women,” & I think it’s disgusting & irresponsible & reprehensible. It’s bad panel-writing, it’s bad ethics, it’s the stupidest shit, & Seattle deserved better than this.

WOW. WOW. What a steaming load of hot, bigoted garbage

IT IS NOT "RETOOLING" OR "ACCOMODATION" TO INCLUDE WHAT WAS ALWAYS THERE AND HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY EXCLUDED FROM HISTORY IN AN ATTEMPT TO ERASE US. Frankly, the only challenge I have in writing queer history is how many people seem to be allergic to the word historical.

i signed this! thank you to the organizers 🫧 writers with published books & people who work in publishing, including agents, librarians, booksellers, illustrators, & more, y’all can also sign the letter here: lithub.com/against-ai-a...

Did you know? In the Victorian era, Oscar Wilde became the editor of an extremely progressive magazine called The Woman's World. It was one of the first magazines to feature articles that focused on what women think, rather than just what they wear. #Victorian #history

The part of me that came of age in NYC is so happy for the city I used to call home ❤️

NYC YOU DID IT YOU DID THE THING I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY FOR MY FRIENDS!!!!!

The book I’m querying which is less "doomed by the narrative" than "doomed by the title" Is it fate? Or all the unhinged things you did along the way?

“Jonathan’s death should be a national story, a source of collective mourning, a call to arms. But instead, most major media outlets barely mention it. And if they do, they strip it of context, of the racial, historical, spiritual truth of what happened.”

Anyway it's pride and there are lots of queer writers who put out work that isn't best selling! Buy a gay book by an unpopular irrelevant queer today!!!

This is evil.

Judy. Blume. Pay attention to this bigotry. This is exactly the playbook Rs want to enact nationwide: declare anything they don't like "porn" (including anything about queer/trans folx or BIPOC history/themes) and then ban it, fine anyone who stocks the books, and worse. FL peeps, fight this!

Just throwing it out there that A Sweet Sting Of Salt checks off this space in Jae's 2025 Sapphic Book Bingo

well that feels like an omen, push that thing back out to sea, it probably contains Mumm-Ra the Everliving or some shit

It’s a good day to push back against one of the many cruel and ignorant things someone in your area is trying to make happen. Doesn’t matter which one! Every little bit helps!

Did you know? In the Victorian era, workhouse inmates were provided with very meager meals. For those accused of committing infractions, portion reduction was often used as a form of punishment. Many children and elderly inmates slowly starved under the guise of correction. #Victorian #history

Do. Not. Disturb. The. Mysterious. Ancient. Rune-inscribed. Skull-adorned. Ring. Found. In. The. Idyllic. Countryside. Seriously, there's a whole book about this. And movies. Long ones!

Today I used a stand up paddle board for the first time in my life in related news I also went sea-swimming for the first time since January first, and this time was a lot less on purpose 😂

Diving back into the query trenches first thing this morning, in this, the year of our dumpster fire 2025, is feeling like a lot but by god I am doing it

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT "Nine-Tenths" Releasing June 30th ☕🐉

Today's news: I've parted ways with my agent, and will be seeking new representation for my next book—DAISY, THE DEAD MAN, & THE WHORE NEXT DOOR is a twisty sapphic historical set in 1880's Halifax that comps to Sarah Waters' FINGERSMITH.

My take on the whole "is it okay that readers skip prologues?" discourse is that the government is trying to kill me and all of my friends.

Frederick Park (right) and Ernest Boulton as Fanny and Stella, 1869. Arrested on this day in 1870.

Being an eldest sister writing an eldest sister character involves a certain amount of dropping in casual sibling on sibling violence for comic relief... and then removing it because *she*, at least, has to take the high road for the sake of the narrative. Which, I mean. Is awfully damn on the nose.

today is an excellent day to complete one more task that's been weighing on my mind for months that I had to get a dozen ducks in a row first to accomplish

I'm floored. I just found out that A Sweet Sting Of Salt has been shortlisted for the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer's Prize! What an amazing surprise, I am beyond thrilled—and honoured— to find my book in such incredible company!

Just a proud Canadian out here thriving, heading to vote liberal in the advance polls bright and early in the morning and totally cool if I have to wait because of *unprecedented voter turnout* because that is great to hear 🇨🇦

Today in seaside living: Spotted a huge wooden beam floating in the bay. Thought for a second about how I have very limited funds but am planning to build a home somehow—then went down to the shore and managed to haul it in, and up past the high tide line. Now it's MY huge wooden beam. 💪
