A FilAm protagonist in 90's Hawai'i, a new wave/alt rock/synthpop playlist, & a creepy antagonist. It's a living nightmare. U.S.: amazon.com/dp/B093ZCBRKL U.K: amazon.co.uk/dp/B093ZCBRKL Canada: amazon.ca/dp/B093ZCBRKL

Exhibit #46882255890421789 of haole women left of center throwing marginalized people under the bus. *checks calendar* Ah, yes. Just another Sunday for marginalized people. The "moderate whites" the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote about in "Letter From A Birmingham Jail."
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

And tbc, if a marginalized person is receiving a shit ton of hate b/c the color of their skin & not being Xtian & they ask you not to show up to an event after you've cozied up to the guy who spread dangerous, racist, xenophobic, & anti-Muslim lies, you don't get to play victim.

The proportionate response to their request for safety reasons isn't to turn around and throw more fuel on an out of control fire. The proportionate response is to accede & keep quiet for their safety.

Here's my main takeaway from "You Can See Everything" that I'd really ask folks to consider: There's no such thing as good people or bad people.

"The surveillance of Black writers is more than backlash against the literary world’s recent efforts to open its doors. It is a way for anti-woke activists to say the quiet part out loud: They would prefer that the literary world remain a fortress." nytimes.com/2026/10/11/opini…

This is one of many reasons why I prioritize reading books by marginalized authors (& why my books choices differ so much from my haole friends). Buy The Poisons We Drink or check it out from the library. I gave it a *chef's kiss* on Goodreads. It's that good.
What has Bethany been up to lately? Well, buckle up. I've been dragging this British white lady. This is the white author who wrote a KKK romance and got to rebrand as a successful kidlit author. A fact my publisher refused to acknowledge in my email the first time. 1/6
