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.

Um, a bull leading an anti-ICE chant in #Barcelona?

What a weirdo.

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.

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.

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.
