The Guild of Ornamental Hermits books are back on Amazon after being dumped. Had to self-publish instead. These books are funny, queer as can be, slightly satirical, preposterous, fun, and beautiful. Start with The Dire Deeds!

New covers for my books, now that I must self-publish after Amazon tried to put them down. No AI, just DIY. Used 19th century paintings in the public domain, and VistaCreate to make them. The books will be republished soon.

Did I mention that yesterday I found out that all four of my lovely, queer-saturated fantasy novels have disappeared from their "home" in a corporate behemoth, without any notice to me. They weren't self-published, so I cannot act on their behalf at this point. I am beyond devastated.

Author @quinnslobodian.com says Elon Musk's business empire and his work for the Trump administration are closely connected. DOGE was not about demolishing the government, but a way to "refashion and reformat" it so that Musk and his companies become "an indispensable part of the infrastructure."

#Taimane and her band played the #AlbertaRoseTheater in Portland OR last night and it was one of the BEST concerts I've seen in my several decades of adult life. This woman should be filling stadiums! Insanely brilliant, wonderfully sinuous, charismatic, disarming and funny, and a total rock star!

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

New photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren’t receiving care packages—while the Pentagon denies any shortages. (Newsweek)

It's really worth asking this question, especially given the impact of relentless and intense AI use by a certain orange-toned despot. Is AI psychosis at play, along with the other co-morbidities?

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Hey, I'm moving to Portland OR April 1. It's more expensive. I'm seeking leads on 1) sex counseling & hypnosis clients, 2) gig work (writer), 3) possibly a part-time job. I'm odd, old, disabled, multi-faceted, creative, & have tons of skills. Any leads on where I should look for work? Thanks!!!

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.
