In light of the most recent TOC in changes I'm changing my social media patterns! I'm @/mdanielmcdowell on basically everywhere and I'm trying to skybridge my lists to various places but if we're friendly here and you're moving elsewhere please say hi wherever you end up!

Be the good you want to see in the world. Especially in times like these.

we can talk about the dems fumbling this for that apartheid state and stuff all we like but there’s also the glaring fact that a lot of americans looked at him and listened to him and said “yeah he has my vote” like this country is also just deeply rotten at its core

[new swiftie @arianadotgov]

everyone’s tweeting “this is all because the democrats XYZ” which yes is true, but i really don’t think it can be overstated how much people just hate women. like more than anything else that is just the truth that looms undeniably large

sorry to be this person but the tweets are starting. please do not leave minorities in red states behind , you have no idea how hard we fight every single day to win against gerrymandering and undemocratic supermajorities. every day is an uphill battle we cannot win w/o community

The hard part about election night is it’s a reminder that half of America hates America

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Buy your kids books for Christmas. Teach them that reading is for pleasure, not to pass a test. Let them pick their own books, let them read what they love, let them see you reading with joy and enthusiasm.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

May we one day return to a presidential election in which millions of Americans may be disappointed by the outcome, but they’re not terrified that democracy will die and hard-fought freedoms will be torn away.

If you’re having a stressful night, here’s a photo of some nebulae you can ponder to break up the chaos in your feed.

Additionally--I designed both of my covers, and fully handpainted the cover for The Shepherd in Shadow, so I'm inordinately proud of both.

(Bringer's cover is edited and retouched stock, pre-dating the AI slop glut on Adobe Stock; the stock artist is Kalleeck.)
