My op-ed: No neutrality in a fist fight. berkeleybeacon.com/no-neutra… Many thanks to the staff of the Berkeley Beacon for publishing this.

No neutrality in a fist fight

As a martial arts instructor, one question I get is: When is it okay to fight?  There is a legal answer to that, but the real question I hear is: When do I know for sure?  I want students to be able...

You can read the brilliant @_Jen_Silverman in the latest @pshares online at the moment--truly among my favorites from the issue, so wonderfully unsettling: pshares.org/issue-article/in…

In the Next World, Maybe

She got off the train at Hudson and her father was there, tall and resigned, his long hands unraveling the brim of his sun hat as he held it in front of him. She had wondered if she would recognize...

Thank you all for reading ALTD this year. I’m constantly overwhelmed by the love this weird gay vampire book has gotten. Here’s to more sexy, creepy, queer books ❤️
The New York Times. The Best Romances of 2023. The cover of A Long Time Dead, a cracked painting of a glamorous vampire. Text: A quicksilver voice and a balance of humor and brutality keep Samara Breger’s vampire historical A LONG TIME DEAD perpetually on my mind. The new vampire Poppy’s essentially buoyant nature makes her occasional descent into blood lust all the more horrifying, and gives her ingenuity and ultimate triumph an especially gratifying charge. This has become the No. 1 book I recommend to readers new to the genre. By Olivia Waite, Dec. 3, 2023

Among so many wonderful things @SamaraJBreger says in this interview, one of the best is that Edward Cullen is a huge loser and Twilight is a horror novel ❤️

In @SamaraJBreger's A Long Time Dead, being a vampire means travel, found family, & orgies—with some romantic pining and epic quests along the way. @cloudy_vision talks w/the author about historical underwear, writing complicated queer vampires, & more: tor.com/2023/08/17/a-long-ti…
