CALLING ALL QUEER FOLK WHO WENT THROUGH A MYTHOLOGY PHASE (I cannot be the only one): "Tense, dark, and with a unique pantheon of gods, this title featuring a predominantly queer cast will surely tickle fans of mythology." Booklist's review of THE DIVINITY THIEVES by Aislinn Brophy Preorder now!

People keep talking about how just it is that Hyde-Smith blocked Colom’s judicial appointment and now he put her out of a job. But no one should forget why she blocked his appointment. He stood his ground on gender-affirming care and he won MISSISSIPPI.

Hosted a talk about reframing rejection as a writer and remembered something someone told me when i was querying that helped me: every time you walk through a bookstore and pick 1-2 books to buy, you are doing the same thing an agent does when they read queries.

Y'all have no idea what this going to impact. It's astonishing

Leaders across Florida are pushing back against SB 1134, a new law that will restrict counties and municipalities from funding, promoting or taking certain official actions related to DEI.

Huge news: Rally at Google in NYC against "A.i." in our schools! Don't miss it, friends! 3 pm Wednesday! actionnetwork.org/events/tell-...

I backed it, read the first pages, and was promptly hooked and intrigued. I'd really like to see this project make it out into the world. Please give the kickstarter a looksee, and if you're able and interested, please do support it!

I am Jules's agent and we tried to sell this book to publishers. How do I say... the current culture was not receptive to both the content and the authentic voice. So Jules is getting this book out there with my full support. If you care about trans and autistic voices, support the kickstarter!

IDK if it's an aspect of my neurodivergent brain or just my brain, but people attempting to turn asynchronous communication into synchronous literally raises my blood pressure. That is to say I don't care when you send queries or whatever and anyone who does is actually the weird one.

STUNNING STAT: "In the 7 states where Republicans redrew congressional boundaries, the GOP is on track to lose as many as 8 seats — rather than gain the 15 it had hoped to pick up." www.axios.com/2026/11/04/r...

The fatal assumption behind Republicans' redistricting strategy

With two exceptions, the pickups Republicans penciled in never materialized.

FROM SCOTT COLOM If you voted by affidavit in Mississippi because you didn’t have voter ID, you have until Tuesday, November 10 to cure your ballots Call 888-300-4350 for help

Scott Colom@scolom.bsky.social · 2w ago

MISSISSIPPI! Our race is too close to call. We are going to make sure every single vote has been counted, and I am confident we will ultimately flip this seat.

Yesterday, voters made it very clear that they want a new generation of Democratic fighters. We need a leader in the Senate who is capable of leading that fight. It’s time for Senate Democrats to choose new leadership.

Look at what we did when no one showed up for us. Imagine what we could do if the rest of the country stopped kicking us and cheered us on.

Marian Call@mariancall.bsky.social · 2w ago

win or lose, this is why we have to invest in the South and rural areas -- and ffs, quit making shitty jokes at the expense of people there. This IS possible. Huge, huge applause for the organizers there.

Hot tip for all the dems newly elected (and the ones who were elected previously): you are not “looking forward to working with republicans across the aisle,” you are looking forward to working for the people who elected you and looking forward to shutting the GOP the fuck down.

Republicans got all the power they ever dreamed of and pissed off so many people so quickly they turned Texas blue lmao.

I want to see CONSEQUENCES. I want ICE abolished & the people involved to face justice. I want businesses & leadership prosecuted and fined for corruption. I want to see AI regulated & rolled back. I want actual fucking action & progress. Any reaching across the isle better be for they necks.

The new Senator from Minnesota. The new Representative from Indiana. We don’t have to scapegoat people to win!

My LA Senate election takeaway: This race shatters this myth of inevitability that the GOP will continue to dominate in the South. A no-name farmer challenged a sitting GOP House Rep and loss by about 1% with no help from the DNC--and a 100% grassroots campaign--in a state Trump won by 22 points

Win or lose, with a little over 80% of the vote in, almost all parishes in Louisiana shifted to the left by double digits

Not that anyone outside of Florida gives a damn, but Dems did manage to break the Republican supermajority in both the Florida House and Florida Senate.

Fuck nihilism. When we fight we win

Local news starting to call it: Amendment 3, the combined ban on abortion and gender-affirming health care for minors, has FAILED in Missouri. Trying to bandwagon off transphobia was a new tactic for the forced birthers. A very red state didn't go for it.

Texas I'm so proud of you. Georgia and the Carolinas too. KANSAS??!! Come on, Michigan!

Hey, as we celebrate tonight, can we also take a minute to remember every person we've lost because of this administration? We have to hold Congressional Dems to reversing ICE's power, and never let this happen again.

Guam house seat flipped R to D and governor's race is looking good! Also a great time to remember that Guam is disenfranchised and their congressional rep doesn't get to vote in the House. They have no Senate rep at all.

Doing a daily tarot writing for National Novel Writing Month. Got the Moon today. If you're feeling a bit anxious and lost, first take a breath. Next, go back to basics. Look at your outline or initial notes on the project. Do some free thought exploring what happens in the this scene or the next.
