Ummm, when does it become normal to see yourself on the news? In an inflatable frog suit?

The inflatable frog has gone global. Today’s #NoKings #NoTyrants rallies in Japan, Australia, Spain, and Germany.

Yes, you do. Thank you! As Americans who immigrated to Spain after the election, we are always happy to help draw attention to democratic activism.

Chrys Gorman @chrysgorman.bsky.social · 2d

Today's #notyrants (not #NoKings) because we're in Spain) protest in Barcelona was filled with joy, hope, and community. I may be across an ocean, but I'm standing with you, America, Oregon, and Portland. #democratsabroadbarcelona #notyrantsbarcelona #VoteFromAbroad @benjamingorman.bsky.social

@chrysgorman.bsky.social led a chant in #Barcelona for our #NoTyrants protest in her frog cotume! (We don't call ours #NoKings here because we have a king and he's not a tyrant. 😁)

A Quest for Hidden Things by @kareneisenbrey.bsky.social, a fantasy adventure with a touch of cozy.

A cursed village.

A self-taught wizard.

A secret healer.

A common enemy.

What will it cost to free Deep River?

This might make some people MAD. We gave an interview to a German radio station, and I may have rambled a bit on my new perception of "freedom".

Readers have called @susanwkemp.bsky.social’s novel SORRY, WRONG AFTERLIFE a delightfully unhinged afterlife adventure that is “hilarious and wacky” and “wildly inventive.” Get your copy at books2read.com/u/boxzzv or order it from your favorite bookstore.
