I write LGBTQ speculative fiction and ask big questions, like “What if the Golden Girls were mercs.” Based in Seattle, I winter in a gaming chair, and summer at the queer nude beach like a tin roof, rusting.
On Sundays we run feral in the streets
In decadent trousers with nothing underneath
To the grandest department store men's room
Where we shake hands unzipped like gentlemen do
'Til throated plowshares quiet at the shuffling of feet
RIP Gwenn Indahl.
You endured a hell of a lot to become the best mother to us boys that you could be, and an all around fantastic human being. One of the most compassionate people I've ever known, with a sense of humor that never stopped.
Fly true, Mom. Love you for always.
I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.
No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.
What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.
I am loving the audiobook of Every Monument Must Fall, but about 3/4 through the book there is a split second of a woman's voice talking over author from nowhere, and it sounds like she's saying "Mom".
I love it. Obsessed with her.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
May as well dive right in.
Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?
According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Forty years ago today (Jan 28 2026), the crew of Space Shuttle Challenger 51L slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God. Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith A. Resnik, Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe.
ICE personnel will help protect US delegations at the Winter Olympics in Italy, a US embassy source said, confirming local media reports and prompting anger among some Italian politicians reut.rs/3M9PJ5o
Now is a fantastic time for you to learn more about Southern Minnesota as a place, beyond the stereotypes of cold farmland.
Wetlands at every turn, full of wild rice, cattails, and milkweed. Earth so soft it's downright welcoming. Centipedes and butterflies competing for your peripheral attention.
Lightning and mosquitoes lancing at you from every angle. Storm clouds the size of Jupiter hanging over clay cliffs as red as Mars. Whitetail deer, skunks, and turtles sipping at a stream. Humidity that hits with the force of an anvil.
The best thing? Every year, without fail: the ice cracks.
If I see you use this word, I'll block you. If you use it "satirically" I'll block you. Using it at all today is a really fine test of character.
I've had some of my books edited because I used it twenty years ago and I'm ashamed today of having used it.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Also gay bars with their upcoming events. You want me to flip through countless poorly sorted posters as the only way to find out what's happening? Events go on calendars, gentlemen. Calendars!
Warm thoughts for everyone digging themselves out of the snow today! I may live far from the blizzard, but all your pics are making me feel snowed in and inconveniently cozy.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.
I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
