I like to check in on Wisconsin politics sometimes holy shit what

"Evers took language that originally applied the $325 increase for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years and vetoed the “20” and the hyphen to make the end date 2425, more than four centuries from now."

people ask us why we stopped writing near-future dystopias and started writing bonkers fantasy, and it's literally to stop having people tag us when the horrifying things we found researching go mainstream 🤣😭 do feel free to tag me if you encounter any dragons, tho, horny or otherwise

As it gets increasingly harder and harder for us writer-types to reach new audiences, much less our existing audiences, I remind you that if you've read a book of ours (like, for me, BLACK RIVER ORCHARD) and liked it, it'd be swell if you left a review somewhere. That way we don't die in the abyss!

Hi, I’m a climate scientist. My greatest hits include, “No it’s not a natural cycle,” “We’re the ones who told you it’s been warmer before” and “Even if it’s on YouTube it doesn’t mean it’s true.” I also cover the Christiana Figueres classic, “We’re only as doomed as we believe ourselves to be.”

when i first came out, a cis woman told me i couldn’t say i was a woman because “i hadn’t earned it yet.” when i asked what she meant by that, she said i could only claim femininity once i experienced misogyny. she was *extremely* unhappy when i said “oh. well i just did, so thanks i guess.”

I admit that I was a little worried that Bluesky would auto-fill the image on this post with the first gif in my blog post. It's... not a great representation of the content of this post.

In which I take a view of my whole indie-publishing process and I'm really sorry that this post got so long. Apparently, there's a lot to talk about.

Please note that I wrote this instead of working on my novel this morning.
