your hatsuke is brilliant - makes me want to write a story just for this pose!

Final draft of River Time: Good Girl (2025 Aber) meets The Nightingale with a dash of the Pixar movie Up.

Kicked out of college, queer Lyric is stuck at home. But she sets out on a journey with her unstable GrandPop, they discover that her road to independence is intertwined with his secret past.

I'm still laying out the final changes so not much thought on cover yet, although...
a fun thing about the book is how many great images I can use: Roaring 20's Berlin, paratroopers in world war two, motorcycle dates in wartime London, smuggling booze on boats during Prohibition, etc!

My novel River Time is out with my editor and beta readers! 106k words in 4 books and 20 chapters - so tidy for the first time.

Even our generals who didn't last long in WWII-they got yanked for poor performance (I'm looking at you Fredendall)- were worlds more qualified than Trump and Piu-Piu Hegseth.

I can't do it for even one!

love this!

The Warfighter Foundation today awarded the Stalin-Netanyahu Baby-Stabbing award to "Piu-Piu" Pete Hegseth. Wrapping Hegseth in the wreath of bloody pacifiers entwined with gold leaf, they stated, “We look forward to his contributions to keeping human populations in undesirable areas reasonable.”

Great night reading @ Happy Endings!

Meanwhile, I'm writing with 30 friends...

I'll think we'll look back on (are already?) this year as a phase of 'flood the zone - with pollution.' All the tools (but especially AI) are aimed at Volume, and noise has been a powerful tool to smudge the truth...

if you want to see how terrible the world can be, watch the news
if you want to see how wonderful it can be, step out into nature

It's right there in front of you. Why won't you listen? Human.

LETS ALL GO SEE JUNE

Thank you thank you for all your great work on AI, Jane. Because you write so clearly, you cut through the noise on this technical issue better than anyone I see out there.

The right is obsessed with the idea that minority status confers massive advantage in American institutions and these advantages must be rolled back to restore meritocracy.

In reality, the opposite is true: whiteness, maleness and straightness are still favored in myriad large and small ways.

I just sent the 1st half of my book to the editor! Yikes and Weeeee!

...and mightily bored they'll be, too... - at the Bay Area Book Festival, talking about the San Francisco Writers Workshop and writing in community

I'm finalizing a novel featuring a bisexual woman bike messenger and spy in Berlin, Londn and Paris before and during world war II!

I'm on a panel for the Bay Area Book Festival this Saturday! if you're looking for a supportive writing community, this is a good place to learn how they work, pick one if you live nearby, or start your own!

For a novel, I think at least 2 months - there's just too much of its ink in my brain for less.

America's Number One Enemy: The Heritage Foundation, the source of Project 2025
Project 2025 could more correctly called "Project 1775 - a program to re-instate a king, make our states colonies, and make 99% of the people in the USA indentured servants."
Distrust all word from this govenment.

America's number one enemy: The Heritage Foundation. Anti-democracy, anti-human.
