I have ✨news✨
In THE PALACE OF EROS, I have written into genderqueerness, and the longing to live free and whole outside the box of patriarchy, like never before. I've taken risks. I'm stunned and amazed and thrilled this book has found U.S. and UK homes. 😮😭🥳

To fight for and love a country that despises you… that finds joy and elation in your suffering is truly a different kind of pain. It is mourning in America. A new world order begins. 🙏🏾

Do not obey in advance. Lesson 1, first page, of my pamphlet "On Tyranny."

ALT 1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

I was thrilled to talk with the one & only @jenstjude about transforming ancient myths, the contributions trans & queer folks make to masculinity, writing the erotic, what it means to be "unruly and immense," and so much more.

The brilliant @juliandlopera & I chopped it up about trans histories, phallic energy, queer sex as a power source, & more.
"Caro’s prose is magnificent, it incorporates language for a gender expansive body into a myth that is 2000 years old and makes it look easy." 😯🙏🏼🏳️⚧️

Happy pub day to THE PALACE OF EROS—so very grateful this very queer, steamy, patriarchy-defying novel is in the world.
I wrote it as a love letter to the parts of ourselves that long for joy and freedom.

Pardon if this point has been made, but it was incredibly powerful to see an older white man stand behind and at the side of a Black man and help elevate him. Biden did that for Barack Hussein Obama.
Tim Walz is doing the same thing for a Black Indian woman.
The significance of this is not lost on people of color in this country and around the world.
