@schumer.senate.gov but they promised, right Chuck, & they always follow through with their promises…

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... Sen. Kelley is a highly decorated Naval aviator and astronaut. Hegseth is a notorious drunk. He is most notable for his time as a weekend anchor on Fox. Attempting to court martial Sen. Kelley will be a major embarrassment for Trump Good read from Robert Reich

Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans think their meltdown shows strength, but it’s the opposite. They’re showcasing decorated Democratic veterans like Mark Kelly who make them look small and petty. They should pay more attention to lowering grocery prices than ridiculous threats of court-martialing.

I am resetting the mantel in the manse: making it more fitting for the December holidays - Slightly bittersweet AND I know I will enjoy walking in and seeing it looking festive. :-) #vlogmas2025 #grannylife

Immersed in my creative zone this morning. Pruning and keeping in harmony with WIP. Be astonished and write what intrigues. May the week be filled with good moments and bold storytelling #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity Photo: Pinterest

Good morning #5amwritersclub! Holiday weeks mess with my flow every time. Hope your writing is smooth and satisfying, even if you’re celebrating. Use the photo for a visual with breathing exercises if necessary. lol

Two truths & a lie Everyday is children’s day Gratitude is always relevant Your brothers torment you unmercilously because they love you - #vss365 #vsspoetry

“How may I become more defiantly and joyfully myself, both on the page and off?” This question inspired by George Saunders - perfect for a Monday morning. #iamgrateful

Good Sunday morning, #5amwritersclub! Here’s to a vibrant day of words, words and more words! #amwriting

So the new version of MAGA is that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a traitor, Rand Paul is a RINO, and Zohran Mamdani is great. Got it.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Happiness is using my frankincense infused humidifier for the first time in the season. 💕💕💕

What I said yesterday! Do this today #5amwritersclub 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! Let’s for our words our best this Friday morning!

Last night I made a from the heart YouTube video about having a meaningful Thanksgiving celebration, even if your situation is different than usual this year. I hope you find some peace from the message. youtu.be/8JPNL6LHiE8?...

Trump sides with murderer MBS and ignores the sex trafficked women and unanimous votes to release. The Trump reign is over. This is the #NoKings Era now! Stop protecting predators. !

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Finally finishing up reading “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Truman Capote. The ending sounds quite different than the beginning - and I’m glad to have finally read it. I wonder how different the movie is?

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! I’m shocked to have slept in! Getting to the page now… #amwriting

The greatest exploration we will ever make is turning inward, and in that way, we are among the greatest explorers in the world ~ Elizabeth Kapu’uwailani Lindsey (Fellow, National Geographic) #exploration #spirituality #journey #innerworld

My wish for you today is that when reality and other dreariness tries to stop your dreams of writing, you stomp on them and keep going. #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity

It’s simple and it’s not when one’s only tiny goal is to sleep for another hour. #vss365 #vsspoetry #goal

Good morning #5amwritersclub. Woke up a couple hours ago. Hopefully l’ll get my rhythms back to normal but for now I’ll get some writing done!

Because I don't have choir this morning nor do I have spirit chat, I took myself out to breakfast, went for a beautiful walk, uploaded two shorts to YouTube and made to playlist covers. Seems like a productivity fire was lit! Have a great Sunday everyone!

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

We pause the live chat in #Spiritchat on Sunday, Nov 16 (family retreat weekend) ~ let us gather again on #bluesky, Sunday Nov 23 at 9amEST. Peace and light to all 🙏🏽😌

Tonight I was going to do something fun alone. At just the moment it was about to begin, a mother and a young boy were standing in front of me. I whispered to the Mom, “would you two like to….” On the ride he said “This is a dream come true!” Joy.

Happy Friday, #5amwritersclub! Let’s get our words on the page!

A pro-voting group sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) Tuesday, accusing him of launching a retaliation campaign meant to intimidate and suppress Latino voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’m in a therapeutic group setting & when I was being worked with, the migraine that had been bothering her for three days disappeared. Wild.

I started reading my first Christmas novel of the season today! For whatever reason, this makes me Unreasonably happy.

The Situation Room is normally used for secret national security-related planning. On Wednesday, White House officials held a meeting with Lauren Boebert about the Epstein files in the Situation Room. Karoline Leavitt wouldn't say why it was held there.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

One of the cruelest things about mental illness is that it can isolate very loving, empathetic people from the most intimate relationships. I wrote this poem when I was in a psych ward, thinking about others—known and unknown—who have carried life this way. 🖤

The myths of winter are revealed slowly, emptiness, stillness, darkness, harshness, but skies fill and fall in the canon of snow. #vss365 #myth

Tonight I am hosting a poetry & prompts live on YouTube at 9 pm EST tonight. How it works is I read poems from a variety of sources and offer prompts that you may use for your creativity. Join us here - I wouild love to "see" you! youtube.com/live/7rIYuEk...

the dream-myth lurched back and forth forth and back on the railroad tracks of my past. It was trying to tell me something. Yesterday’s vast villains populating your inner myths may actually be helpers in tomorrow’s reality. #vss365 #vss365poetry #rolloverandwrite

#vss365 #prompt #November12 Good morning. Today's word is #myth, like the exhortation to writers that we must keep subbing until agents begin fighting over who should have the privilege of representing us. Or the Tooth Fairy. Your choice. Have fun!

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! I’ve been awake for an hour. I wanted to say something snazzy for y’all… and what I found in my ancient writings was, “Play me backwards in your sleeping dreams so that you might finally get it” and I realized that’s what happened in alarm clock dream. #amwriting

Good morning, #5amwritersclub! Let’s create a week our future self and future readers will look back upon with gratitude! #amwriting

#vss365 #prompt #Nov8 Here we go again! The start of my second week as host - hundreds of works of genius read, more screen hours than is healthy, many new friends. Today's word from my Xword book index is #language. Off you go - surprise me!

Oh. My. I did a YouTube live today & the dog I’m pet sitting did not want me to be without him. 🤦‍♀️ The most chaotic live ever…🤣😂🤣 www.youtube.com/live/y8oBZa-...

autumn signals a return. Wiggles of doubt Invade the veins in my neck. Residual aftershocks from the years when educators failed my child. Battles, misunderstandings followed. Trust, impossible to glean. deep autumn, again #vss365 #vsspoetry
