It's been a shift. My sci-fi has recently been flagged for being "too current and too political" by some editors. Hey, is it really my fault that life caught up with my dystopian fantasies? #antiwar #ICEout #climateaction #solidarity #resist #AntiFascist #antiracist #womensrights #DisabilityRights

They aren't even trying very hard to make up excuses, and that's the thing I find truly frightening. #ICEout #FuckICE #Immigrants #NoOneIsIllegal #justice #FuckOligarchy #DoNotObey #StopCorruption #solidarity #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #AntiFascist #antiracist #SaveOurDemocracy #fucktrump
Every time you get to that point in the conversation, where the right-winger agrees that the things that the left want would be good for society, and says "but we just don't have the money to pay for that," show them this. #Healthcare #taxtherich #FuckOligarchy #antiwar #solidarity #AntiFascist
Real case: The sheriff put out a false nationwide alert. We know about this specific case because the boyfriend was arrested for domestic violence against her and that sheriff was arrested for sexual harassment and lying to a grand jury. How many women are being hunted? #antifascist #TheResistance
We are stating to feel this now with fewer healthcare providers and more people going without care or food, but it going to intensity after the November midterms. It was planned this way. #Healthcare #taxtherich #FuckOligarchy #solidarity #resist #AntiFascist #antiracist #SaveOurDemocracy #fucktrump
#Books, #movies, art--it's all based on networking and being able to work for free for a long time. Extreme wealth is portrayed as "normal" in media, skewing perceptions. Also, there's a potential creative genius working 2-3 jobs to make rent. #taxtherich #FuckOligarchy #StopCorruption #AntiFascist
I was once a young visually impaired person who people often said this about. I was so socially isolated that I took anything I could as a compliment, but it also told me the conditions of acceptance--downplay your disability at all cost. #AccessIsNotExtra #TruthInTheMargins #disabled #blind
The #irony of people who never understood how the #climate change they perpetrate on other countries doesn't obey human-drawn #borders getting upset that someone else's climate-linked wildfire #smoke doesn't either was bad enough. But there was also a Canadian pilot who dled fighting our #wildfires.
Not math, actually. It's how they're using words. They're defining all people of color as "illegal immigrants." Ethnic cleansing is the point. It's about our families, our friends, our neighbors. They will not disappear our people. #ICEout #FuckICE #NoOneIsIllegal #justice #AntiFascist #antiracist
"There's a ped0phile conspiracy!""Political violence!" "Election fraud!" We should be taking every wild accusation from the far right very seriously. That's them announcing their habits and plans. #FuckOligarchy #StopCorruption #theresistance #AntiFascist #antiracist #SaveOurDemocracy #fucktrump
The most pernicious lie is that this country is split by irreconcilable differences. In reality., the vast majority of people agree on the issues. It is the super rich and corporations that disagree and shape policy. #Healthcare #taxtherich #FuckOligarchy #StopCorruption #solidarity #AntiFasciste
Loving, intimate relationships that aren't sexual are gpod. Friends can rub each other's sore muscles. Siblings can watch movies in a pile. Deep conversation, laughter, and comfortable silence heal the soul. (Eye-contact isn't possible for everyone.) #Bekind #kindnessmatters #feminist #choosejoy
It's funny how those who demand better for the people get accused of hating the nation, while those who champion selfish greed claim patriotism. #WeAreTheFlood #defenddemocracy #fighthate #PowerToThePeople #climateaction #healthcare #unite #solidarity #TaxTheRich #StopCorruption #AntiFascist
Interrupting endless anxiety is one thing. But these phrases are used to avoid the discomfort of cognitive dissonance when someone SHOULD be paying attention but they want to stop both thinking and conversation instead. #TruthInTheMargins #science #DoNotObey #climateaction #AntiFascist #antiracist

Just in case anyone is confused about the issues. Here is what intensive investigations into illegally cast ballots have shown. #StopTheLies #FuckOligarchy #antiwar #DoNotObey #StopCorruption #Lies #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #AntiFascist #antiracist #SaveOurDemocracy #fucktrump
In honor of big cities back east getting a taste of wildfire smoke, I want to remind you that this is a choice our political and industrial leaders are making. Thanks to the lifestyles of the wealthy, there is lots more of this to come. #Climatecrisis #FuckOligarchy #climateaction #solar
The tRump admin gave orders for 2000 arrests per day. This is how fascist authorities fill concentration camps. When they say there are 100 million "illegals" in the US, they're counting all people of color as well as political opponents. #ICEout #FuckICE #justice #resist #AntiFascist #antiracist
I guarantee that some day people will marvel at how so many people today could claim they didn't know. They didn't know about climate change. They didn't know about concentration camps. Stop watching a screen and start paying attention. #climateaction #ClimateChaos #ICEout #resist #AntiFascist
The detention centers already fit the definition of "concentration camps." They're rounding up people based on ethnicity and shutting them away in crowded conditions with little food. They call them "criminals " when most aren't illegal and aren't accused of a crime. #ICEout #FuckICE #AntiFascist
We are all in this together. If someone else is getting the brunt of it right now, you must know that this juggernaut is aimed at all of us. Let's defend one another. Divisions between us are trivial. #fighthate #FuckOligarchy #antiwar #DoNotObey #solidarity #theresistance #AntiFascist #antiracist
You really wanna know why? The weird obsessions of religious sects against magic and oaths would do it. But yes, it's immeasurably better. #English #writer #WordsMatter #Linguistics #GrammarFun #amwriting #magic #writingcommunity #Books #Education #Readers #Write #WriteLife #Pagan #BookLovers
I feel pretty uncomfortable about museums about and monuments to the "conquest of the west" for similar reasons. Whenever I see that I feel the unmentioned genoclde of native Americans behind it. #history #ushostory #NativeAmerican #LandBack #TruthWarriors #fighthate #NecerAgain #NoWar #AntiFascist
This is how community can be. When outside help doesn't come, there are people who will step up as heroes. But I wonder how many more people could have been saved by better international aid. #Immigrants #localheroes #venezuela #compassion #solidarity
We've done this before. Fear was whipped up, and thousands of Americans were fired, blocklisted or imprisoned because a narcissist started screaming, "Communist!" (1950s) If we let common sense and #compassion be fear-mongered, it will soon be criminalized. #FuckOligarchy #unity #resist #AntiFascist
We can't help that this is our history. It is not about shame or blame. The only shame is in denying reality and acting like everyone across the land should be overjoyed to commemorate it. Grief and love can coexist in patriotism. #NativeAmericanHistory #LandBack #fighthate #solidarity #AntiFascist
It seems to work on political factions, as well as for races, religions,and nations. The wealthy propagandize people to hate some other group, so that they will not turn on those who exploit them directly. #fighthate #FuckOligarchy #antiwar #DoNotObey #unity #solidarity #AntiFascist #antiracist
You don't have to "believe in climate change." Natural forces such as gravity and the greenhouse effect that makes our planet warmer do not need your belief to exist. #climateaction #ClimateChaos #climatecrisis #science #nature #RealityCheck #FuckOligarchy #StopCorruption #solar #solidarity
You either like the free market or you don't. You can't have socialism for corporations and the super wealthy and laissez-faire capitalism for everyone else. #taxtherich #FuckOligarchy #StopCorruption #unity #solidarity #theresistance #resist #AntiFascist #antiracist #SaveOurDemocracy
