I posted up some of the hate I receive regularly last night on social media, when a random person took to a wall and from that comment on actually spent the entire evening relentlessly attacking me. Another author friend of mine posed a question: “how do you deal with the 24-7 hate you get?” Jon […]

My Post Mocking Feminism Goes Viral – Twitter Locks My Account
Twitter’s been on a warpath against conservatives lately, as I detailed in my piece for The Federalist about a month ago. They’re claiming they’re making all sorts of changes to “better the experience”, but the truth is, they’re attacking conservative thought. Last time, I was given no choice when I made the statement that transgenderism […]
The #ComicsGate Crowdfund Successes Keep Rolling
Honestly, it’s starting to look like we have our own little pocket industry here. While the books I’m talking about now aren’t making the $300-400k amount, they are making far more than most other first time comic kickstarters that I see launching. The most recent success story is Mike S. Miller’s Lonestar: Heart Of A […]
Blacklisting Didn’t Work, So They’re Trying To Harass Us Out Of The Industry
Ever since I came out of the closet with how I voted, it’s been one thing after another in an attempt to gatekeep me out of the industry. It started with a convention removing me from their speaker circuit as most readers are aware, with many of the same people from that convention then enacting […]
Space Force: The Comic
I’m out of time for blogging today, so I wanted to give a shout out to Chuck Dixon, Timothy Lim and Brett R. Smith for their new comic, Trump’s Space Force. It looks really fun and these guys have been working their tails off to get this ready, so it’s worth a blog post as […]
The #ComicsGate Success Is No Fluke – People Crave Good Comics
We’ve had a few different successes in comicsgate now that it’s actually becoming a full on subset of the industry, not just a couple of guys with flukes. This is very positive, and I hope we continue toward this trend. I’m personally cutting back my DC Comics purchases (which ranges from about ($12-20 per month […]
Space Force: Old And Busted Legacy SF vs. New Hotness Indie SF
Sci-fi is about sense of wonder. It’s about exploration. It’s about seeking the unknown to better humanity. If you’re confused, it’s because you’ve been reading Hugo Award winning fiction for the last 20 years and their cohorts who have taken over the industry. This is a group of people ridden by mental disorders who have […]
NK Jemisin Libels me, calling me a Nazi
This is extremely shocking and defamatory. First off, I’ve never spoken with Jemisin in my life. I found out I was insta-blocked by her awhile back just because she uses auto blockers against other science fiction authors’ followers. I’ve submitted this case to Twitter Support, as I was suspended for saying “transgender is a mental […]
The White Male Initiative For Worldcon 76
Recently, John Picacio raised enough money to send 50 deserving Mexicanx professionals and fans to Worldcon 76 happening in San Jose, California from August 16-20, 2018. Let’s replicate that success by opening the door for interested members of the white male community. Welcome to the White Male Initiative for Worldcon 76! You can participate in […]
The Biggest News Story You’ll Never Hear: Big Tech Strikes At Finances Of Political Opponents
As you know, I urged my fans and friends who are supporting this blog and my fiction work on a subscription basis to switch their pledges from Patreon to Freestartr because Patreon was removing right wing political commentators over their content. This weekend, Freestartr was shut down by Stripe, the collections company used to process […]
Social Media Sabbaticals Are Good For The Mind And Soul
Yesterday a lot of people text me saying they couldn’t believe I was taking off social media right in the middle of the most important American diplomatic achievement since Nixon went to China. This was notwithstanding getting video likes from a trusted provider with all the money spent into buying them! The internet is on fire, […]
Why It’s Important Not To Isolate Oneself To The Echo Chamber
A question I often get is: why do I engage with the leadership of SFWA and others who have legacy positions in science fiction? They clearly have it out for me, so is there any good that comes from talking? I had good relationships in the past with several of the legacy names in science […]
