Okay, folks. For reasons beyond my control, the series had to be retitled, so allow me to officially make a re-introduction to
REMNANTS, BOOK ONE: DUST.
(ASHES, book two of the REMNANTS duology, is also available. New audio versions aren't up yet, but will be soon.)

When you post about Recently Deceased Famous Person and say anything akin to, "I know they were a hateful bigot, but here's all the reasons they were important to me," you are telling the people they persecuted that you aren't safe for them, because their persecution isn't a dealbreaker for you.

All else being equal, do you prefer fantasy novels that have a variety of humanoid species (it could be the classic elves/dwarves/etc., or it could be something different), or do you prefer fantasy novels with only or primarily humans?

My one-step plan for peace between Russia and Ukraine:
1) Russia pulls the fuck out like we wish Trump's father had, and pays full reparations.
There. Global crisis solved.

The bill allows for the redaction of anything deemed necessary for national security. Guess who makes those assessments?
I'm not saying the release of the files is meaningless. It's not. But it's also not going to be anywhere near comprehensive or sufficient.

Proselytizing hopelessness is literally doing the enemy's job for them.
You want to discuss why "Tactic X won't help?" More power to you.
You want to discuss why "Nothing will help, it's all useless, we're all literally doomed?" Fuck outta here.

Does it make a difference if a middle-aged straight-passing white man says it?
There is no such thing as "underage women." They're girls. They're children.
There is no such thing as "sex with children." It's rape.

Really difficult to overstate the fury one should feel that the GOP and institutions like the New York Times went all in on transphobia as some mortal threat to women and girls while covering up something like this.
When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Okay. Last night was half of what I asked for.
Now if I could also get some major, sweeping *personal/career* good news/victories, we'll have the other half covered. 😝

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

This is incredibly important:
we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself
and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats
we must be relentless, we must not shut up

I was born in NY, though we moved before I was a year old.
I visited often to see family. While I enjoyed the trips, I never really cared for the city itself. (Though that's through the eyes of a child, FWIW.)
Tonight, for the first time, a part of me would at least *consider* ever moving back. ❤

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Several of my scripts were written with specific actors imagined in major parts. I never thought they would ever actually *be* in those movies, even if I actually manage to sell those scripts and see the movies made. It was just a purely inner vision thing for my own reference.
