wow!!!!!
Feeling a lot of trepidation and fear and also gathering strength for the years of fighting ahead. One way I'm doing that is by celebrating good things when I can. So please celebrate the beautiful cover of my novel, BEINGS, which is now available for pre-order everywhere.

So far we’ve raised $135 for some of the Black families who’ve been affected by the fires in Altadena! If you like owning cool handmade pottery and doing some good, the auction runs through Thursday!
I’m auctioning some pottery, with proceeds going to some of the Black families affected by the fires in Altadena. I will disperse funds across as many GoFundMe campaigns as possible. app.galabid.com/potterylafir…

Fixed it.

ALT the ADL’s tweet about Elon Musk’s Nazi salute edited to say, “This is a genuinely scary moment. A fascist is now president and so many are on edge. Trump's agenda directly threatens many of us, and social media only adds to the anxiety. @elonmusk made a Nazi salute, and his vocal, increasing support for neo- Nazis and fascists has not earned him the benefit of the doubt. Let's speak truth to power fight fascists & protect each other in the months and years ahead.” The ADL’s handle and logo is crossed out and replaced with the words “a different org that actually takes antisemitism seriously.”
For the @latimes, I reviewed @ErikaKrouse's new short story collection, "Save Me, Stranger," which is wonderful and complex and sometimes unsettling:
