Emily is very excited to be doing a reading and panel at Fantasycon, and especially celebrating Wolf's Path by @jolantru.bsky.social alongside Wolf, in person. Also, Emily is ready to explore her topic with sensitivity, but also nods to the BFS who clearly noted, "I bet that woman's been drinking."

Not just sitting around... actively protecting the spaces they have privileged access to, denying that CWN are in their own spaces, and erasing and attacking any white person who speaks out while using the necessary caution of black Americans as their justification.

What have you done to combat Project 2025?

It's so disappointing (but not surprising) to witness White America now, just sitting around,

witnessing the gradual but stead implementation of a literal Christian White Nationalist policy overhaul throughout our federal govt.
