I almost forgot! #NOAI was used in the creation of this book!

Hag Stones & Witch Bottles

stephenking = 14m Janet Mills stood up to Trump today: "See you in court." Made me proud to be from Maine. We don't need a Bully to tell is what to do.

And King taught me at a very early age about the horrors of bullies, capital “B”

ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Let me be clear about something. The goverment does not give a shit that you write closed door romances. At the end of the day, the crackdown on Romance is not about sex. It's about control.

hey is it a good idea to piss off all old people in the US by raiding their social security?

The cover of Power to Yield and Other Stories by Bogi Takács, with art by Galen Dara. Art with bright and striking colors: A turquoise person in a purple robe in front of a bright green background, among red paper airplanes pointing downward.

Let's do this!

It has just been announced that my newest short story collection, Power to Yield and Other Stories, is on the Locus Recommended list.

This is a very trans & intersex book & I feel like it didn't get a lot of reviews.

Ping me for a review copy!

A copy of the book “The Forest and the Ecogothic.” It shows a dark forest and trees with twisted roots.

Another of my #book Holy Grails. I’d LOVE to find a reasonably priced used copy of this beauty!

Book cover “Our Name is Melancholy.” It shows two cloaked figures, one a woman and one a skeleton — the angel of death.

One of my #book Holy Grails. I saw this at a booth at a pagan festival, more years ago than I want to think about, for only a couple bucks. I was intrigued but young and poor. Sadly, it’s VERY expensive now

Witchcraft is Political

Hello #occultsky and #witchsky!

Based on the recommendations yesterday, I created a spreadsheet of politically-minded books around the craft.
