THE GILDED KING, a poem 🧵

THE GILDED KING, a poem 🧵
The winter solstice is upon us! May we all emerge from the longest night stronger than when we entered it.

The winter solstice is upon us! May we all emerge from the longest night stronger than when we entered it.
I did a year-in-review post, because that’s what we do now, right?
I talk about the upcoming winter solstice, the two ventures I started — this and @shirakipress — plus fiction I wrote this year, favorite reads, and goals for 2026.

Writing—all creativity—is a message trying to be brought into the world.
The artist is a vessel. The message may or may not be important, but you can't know its impact until it's communicated.
You have a responsibility to deliver the message anyway.

This is a massive overreach by Amazon and I eagerly await the inevitable lawsuit.
In the meantime, we need serious collective action at scale to punish this kind of behavior and prevent it from recurring.

Q: What's the scariest story you've read? What's the most hopeful? #booksky
PARABLE OF THE SOWER planted a deep dread I can't shake. It's terrifying how current events arc toward this future.
THE FIFTH SACRED THING showed me how an intentional community might survive that future, and even thrive.

In the afterword of my recent political horror story WE ARE ALL TERRORISTS NOW, I asked how long until the administration weaponizes its declaration of antifa as "violent extremists".
