@the_gneech Hard same, old friend. Hard same.

I was just telling a young writer yesterday about how you and Laurie showing me how to use VCU's LAN system and providing access to it for me allowed me to become a professional writer. Thank you both, again and always! ❤️ ❤️

Satyros Phil Brucato boosted:

In the United States, we have two months to prepare to confront fascism on a scale we have not experienced in our lifetimes.

Now—right now—is the time to call for public assemblies to connect people who are disillusioned with the electoral process and prepare the ground for grassroots organizing and resistance.

We can help to equip you with posters, stickers, and reading material, including how-to guides and introductory literature, with which to make the case to your community.

@Shanmonster It is very, very not. I'm sorry about your husband.

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS, Belovedest! Thank you for everything you are, everything we've shared, and everything you (and we) have yet to do.

You're an amazing human being, and I love you so damn much.

Today marks the birthday of my favorite person ever: My Belovedest spouse, collaborator, and partner-in-all-things Sandra Damiana Swan. We met 17 years ago this month, and our lives since then have been better than they'd ever been before.

Books, concerts, festivals, dancing, gardening, politics, the studio we established 16 years ago, the home we share with our nephew and cats - Sandi and I take each other, and everything we share, to the next level. I could not be who I am today without her.
