Heads up: this got me to go check @aprildaniels.bsky.social's Dreadnought books, and they are on US Kindle sale for $2 each; I got a set of each for random giveaway.
I really hate being disabled. Some of my disabilities, I don't really mind, but there's one that's got me today and I really wish I didn't have this rock in my bucket.

Malinda has been doing so much incredible work for the cause both behind the scenes & being a public figure for the right to read. Would love to see, I don't know, 10 donations to AABB in her name today. Be a great way to thank her for her work.

For a good binge read, grab his completed epic fantasy trilogy The Great Way.
His "A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark" is the best standalone urban fantasy I've read.

Yes, stole it.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:
- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
Those are just factual statements.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE
Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency.
They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.
