Hey, if you're feeling thankful for all the bounty in your life right now, it's not a bad idea to toss some coin to trans people who are struggling. (I boosted two folks that I know personally just now, but there are so many, many others on here.)

Yeah I started writing at almost 50 and came out even older than that. Do the thing.
Fuck that noise, do it even if you're old. I learned tattooing at 43. I learned editing and publishing at 46.

There is always still time to do or learn new stuff.
I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

If anyone is looking to support a family run small business that makes art, calendars, and makes a lot of cool stuff, I highly recommend the Anderson Design group.
They have a 20% off sale running right now, and I LOVE their calendars. You can even build your own (and keep the art afterwards)

I spoke w/ Choctaw historian A.S. Dillingham about how the Thanksgiving myth helps the U.S. avoid reckoning w/ its own history.
“It’s not about rejecting gratitude — it’s about refusing to celebrate a falsehood.”

The Thanksgiving Myth Hides the US’s Inability to Reckon With Its Own History
“I’m not against giving thanks. I’m against celebrating a falsehood,” says Choctaw historian A. S. Dillingham.

Since there's nothing going on in Canada this weekend besides being inundated with Black Friday emails, I suggest you all pre-order my next book as a celebration of whatever you want, plus the fact that I didn't send you en email about it.

I keep thinking about all the talented, ethical journalists who have been out of work for ages and getting angry all over again
Because people are treating it like a juicy spectacle and not like a significant failure of journalism and a condemnation of the industry.
why is this in the NYT Cooking newsletter, of all places!!!!!

Charisma is a local trans artist, creator, bookseller and all around wonderful human. I've been so lucky to get to hang out with them, and I've gotten to admire their art and their incredible positivity.

They had to move a while back due to fuckery. Please give whatever you can!
Please share and donate if you can! Much much needed and appreciated ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have started an urgent gfm for my partner and friend Charisma and Robin. Please consider supporting them as they face financial hardship and housing insecurity! gofund.me/21cc825a8

Sadly, today's the day this is public: The Books section at Paste Magazine is no more.

This is why I started asking around about potential review outlets over the weekend.

I'm so proud of the work I did with horror books over there, and grateful to @lacymb.bsky.social for letting me run wild.

I know we know this, but pirates need to get better at talking about why they actually pirate books. Stop pretending it's about authors.
i mean it's odd to say "tell us how you make your money" and then not actually let us respond, but

Hello, I make my money from writing books and through the kindness of people who bail me out of emergencies on ko-fi and kick in a few bucks a month on patreon

my biggest advance was $15k per book
