Congratulations Jordan! I can’t wait to read this!

Any other writers grapple with the act of #bookpromotion?

Start organizing and gathering in your communities. You’re going to need each other in more ways than you know.

Can anyone explain to me the divorcee-to-life-coach pipeline? It’s a thing!

Lesson from corporate media: Joy Reid takes the fight to Trump and his white supremacy every day and gets cancelled. Morning Joe went to Mar-a-Lago after election to suck up to Trump yet his show continues

A lovely convergence. My new novel Fallout and my republished novel Forged in Grace are both out (shortly) in overlap. I’ll take any joy I can get. Links to order in bio.

When your book club surprises you by reading YOUR book 😍. Fallout is an eco-thriller about women rising up against corporate power, destruction of nature, complexities of motherhood, perimenopause, and so much more.

Right?

How I’m doing my letters to my congresspeople …

I highly recommend writers conferences—at the #SFWC2025, I connected with old friends, made new ones, heard incredible speakers like @tommyorange.bsky.social and met both my publishers (runningwildpress and @sibylline.bsky.social in person).

"Fallout is truly a rare accomplishment, a page turner with a blistering heart and a powerful sense of purpose." —Laura Bogart Enter to win a copy of @jrosenfeldwrites.bsky.social's "Fallout" from Running Wild Press 💙📚 www.librarything.com/ner/detail/5...

Seriously

!!!!

I’m honestly not sure if we’re past the “call your reps” state of affairs or not but…

Yup

Hero.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I'd started getting groceries there. No more.

Okay “Kelvin” I see you. You can’t hide, Kevin! I know you’re obsessed with me. Just give me a share of your movie royalties, and it’s a deal.

Yes you can tune out of the firehouse of awful for a few days even weeks. No, it’s not wrong to focus on what gives you joy or meaning. Sips, not gulps. Pace yourself. Nourish. Rest up, then suit up as my friend Kerra says!

Ha! Yes, he definitely wants to play the villain….hmmm now that I think about it

Damn it! I should’ve known better …🤣

Why is Kevin Costner so obsessed with me? This is his third attempt to follow me. 🤪

Small mercies in troubling times, or things I never thought I’d be grateful for: bureaucratic red tape and slow, complicated legal processes.

If it’s not a Nazi salute, record a video of YOU doing it at work and send it to your boss/HR. #BlackSky #BlackSkyOver30 #BlackSkyOver40

This a critical point, executive orders are not immutable. As @themaxburns.bsky.social writes "lawsuits still represent the most direct way regular people can play a role in stopping potential executive overreach." We're not powerless.

If there’s anything more fun than book promo in late stage capitalism/slide toward fascism I don’t know what! Does it help that my novel Fallout is about women trying to take down powerful men and industry? #booksky #ecothriller

Some tips for survival

I’m sad to read this.

- Spread to communities in need. 💜

What nourishing, artistic, generative, helpful or supportive thing will you be doing tomorrow or this week? How will you keep your nervous system calm? (Consider this a thread for suggestions too).

We are proud to announce support for #LA #MutualAid groups serving the 180,000 people displaced by the #LAFires! Over the past week we have organized a regular aid route that will deliver one full truck each week to sustain the local response. Help us keep it running: distributeaid.org/la-fires

How is everyone’s January 65th going? (Why is January the longest year?)

"Sometimes the known is the fetter, and the unfamiliar the feather..." On metaphor, meaning making, pursuing the creatively "brand new"... (with nods to @bethkephart.bsky.social, Steven Dunn, and Katie Jean Shinkle). jordanwritelife.substack.com/p/fetters-or...

Ursula K. LeGuin: "American science fiction has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women."

I read it last year and loved it! She’s a maestro

“Conditions for a January firestorm in Los Angeles have never existed in all of known history, until they now do.” This is so much bigger than a single mayor or a single budget cycle. We cannot keep living like this. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

If people want to help and are able to donate to help those affected by these LA fires, here are places they can donate: friendsindeedpas.org/donate-to-fr... cpf.salsalabs.org/disasterreli... www.directrelief.org/emergency/ca... www.pledge.to/ccfwildfirer... www.globalgiving.org/projects/cal...

I think the people who fight enormous fires should get more money than the people who harass homeless people but that's just me

Yesterday I did this and today I sent an email beginning “Hell!” Instead of Hello. I guess considering *points to general shitshow* it’s about right.

Come join us for an excellent conference!

RIP to the OG Juliet.

Is it hysteria or is your soul just bound to an ancient undead creature? Typical medical establishment attitude toward women for 100s of years ;-) 🤣 #nosferatu
