Book cover for THE DEMON STAR by Jesse Aragon. It shows a red/orange canyon landscape with alien ruins in the distance, and a ringed gas giant on the horizon. There is an eclipse in the sky, centered above three characters: a woman with light brown skin, dark red hair, and muscled arms, holding a spear; a boy with brown skin and black hair raising one hand toward the eclipse; and a man with pale skin, blond hair, and black robes.

The only thing that will stop Trump is a grassroots movement using diverse tactics.

(not just protests! We need boycotts, strikes, slowdowns, guerrilla art, disruptions, gumming the works from the inside, etc) from a cross-section of society.

It’s on us.

DOOMERISM IS CRINGE

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public.

I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU.

Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

Oh no big deal πŸ˜ŒπŸ’•

β€œOmer’s enthralling debut epic fantasy starts with a bang and never slows… epic battles and juicy political machinations keep the pages turning, and Omer’s Southwest Asian–inflected worldbuilding fascinates. Readers will be eager for more." -Publisher’s Weekly

There are two kinds of authors:

1) writes idealized self-inserts

2) gives their MC one or two of their worst personality traits, amplifies them x1000, then spends an entire book roasting them for it

also the pipeline from 1 to 2 is real

If you can put in money, put in money.

If you can put in time, put in time.

If you can put in support, put in support.

We can all contribute; it doesn't have to look the same.

one thing that stood out to me reading the book was just how much of a huge judgy bitch Lomelli/Lawrence is. He has an opinion about every single person at the conclave and does not hold back. I love him.
