This is what the sky looked like when I was driving this morning. #Today

A good day of writing today: close to 1700 words added to my new Cordwainer book, and I finished chapter 12. Now it's time for a bit of a rest, then some chores.

Six historically black college and universities are locked down today because of credible threats against them.

Someone is using Kirk's murder as an excuse to target black students and faculty.

American fascism is built on racism.

#ScribesAndMakers Aug 14. What's the funniest needlework you've ever made or seen? Can you share a picture?

This one always makes me laugh.

And it is done! My new Gavin Rownt medieval mystery is available to buy from Amazon.

Theo refusing to do anything cute or interesting for #Caturday.

@Nichelle

I started adding a statement about not using AI to the copyright page on my books. I don't know if anyone has noticed or cared.

The Republicans are selling Alligator Alcatraz merchandise. T-shirts. Beer cozies. That's right. Concentration camp swag.

Philadelphia police estimate the No Kings demonstration in the city to be over 100,000 people. It's probably more than that because police estimates tend to be low.

I've only seen one person say this, so maybe it's just obvious. But part of Trump's extreme overreaction to the protests in LA must be from his fear that the No Kings protests on Saturday will be big, and he's trying to scare people out of going to them. Don't let that happen, okay?

#NoKings #LA

Keep the momentum going! Tomorrow we start a new boycott: April 7-14, don't shop at Walmart. Next buy nothing day is April 18.

For my friends & followers outside the USA: please know that there are over 1200 protests against the Trump regime going on right now, some with tens of thousands of people. Much of the US media is too cowardly to cover the protests for fear of Trump. But we're standing up and fighting back.

@WarnerCrocker

But who would stop him if he did? Not Congress. Not the courts -- he would just ignore them. He can do anything he wants until people start standing up to him.

Go to Google Maps right now and search for "Kremlin Headquarters." Really. Do it.

#WritersCoffeeClub 27. What unpaid marketing sites have you found helpful?

Unpaid marketing sites? What unpaid marketing sites? I don't know what they are.

Happy Birthday Tom Baker! 91 years old today.

As a retired English professor and old fart, I cringe at the typos and grammatical errors I constantly see around me, in published books, in posts, in so-called "professional" media. How, I ask myself, can people not see these things?

Occasionally I have to remind myself that in my early 20s, I printed (mimeographed!) 2,500 leaflets reading "US out of Southeast Asa Now!"

Wherever David Lynch might be, I hope he's having a damn fine cup of coffee. May he rest in peace.

@alduplat

Thank you. That's reassuring.
