SHORT STORY ALERT: My latest, Moonrise, is in Issue 34 of FIYAH Magazine of Black Speculative Fiction.

It’s about a day when only Black women wake up, and I am not done with this story. You’ve been warned.

Apparently Bluesky is where Ashley comes to PREACH so I guess I should come around more becuz WHEW.
But the parents are so lost they don’t even realize that it’s not the classes that changed your kid, it was separation from YOU. No gender studies, sociology, or history class could ever accomplish what three months of not having to live with your bullies will do.

As ever, the cost of the book purchases…the book! The transaction ends at the register. Celebrity culture eats brains so I’m just gently reminding people that authors do not OWE anything more. We did our job before you bought the book!

Apropos of everything, the buy link for my 2026 release, The Body, my churchianity horror, is up.

Hear me when I say churchianity. It’s about the horror that happens when it’s not about faith, it’s about control.

So. Just leaving this here.

Sometimes you make art and it is successful, and people treat that success like a mandate for more of your art. But life is your art's mandate. The success is not only subjective, but another matter entirely.

Life is art's mandate. You don't need anyone else's permission.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Just to give you some insight into the particular brand of nerd* I am:

This past weekend at an antique/game shop (this isn't the nerd part), I saw a Deanna Troi action figure.

In last night's dream, I was talking at someone about the creative decisions on TNG re her and Tasha Yar.

Don’t comply. Don’t just react to the framework presented. Corps/institutions must actually challenge claims of discrimination of white males with statistical evidence. Initiatives respond to observable disparities, not hypothetical theories. We’ve been here before. Take. Them. To. Court.

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this
