I've been quiet here because one of my worst nightmares came true. Last Mon my dog ran away from the sitter's home. She's never run off before. I'm heartbroken. She's my everything. I know horrible things are happening everywhere in the world but rn all I can think of is bringing Zoe back home.

I sometimes use our boats in my book vids. Go on, get some @sarahmchen.bsky.social @pauljgarth.bsky.social @gabino.bsky.social @bamawriter.bsky.social @laurelhightower.bsky.social @jamesdfhannah.bsky.social @cmattwrite.bsky.social @robwhart.bsky.social Fun was had! #BookSky 📚💙

This is awesome!

Shout out to independent bookstores everywhere. Here’s a gem in Chinatown, NYC. They’ve also got a little reading room and an espresso bar in the back. (44 Mulberry St.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Felt that here in the South Bay! Hard jolt.

If you work in the American tourism industry be prepared to bring a book to work because the world has no plans on visiting you.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Just real curious where all those Cold War warrior Republicans are at right now and why the hell they are saying nothing! Where are all the foreign affairs conservatives! Where are all the patriotic motherfuckers?

I've never been so ashamed and embarrassed and enraged. This is such deplorable behavior.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Welp this won't be bad

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

Definitely felt this in Hermosa Beach!

yeah the issue isn't that salmonella never appears here in the US, it does; the issue is that when it does, teams of dedicated civil servants track the outbreak, find the source, spread the word, and recall the bad food. and will they keep doing that? will "they" still exist in any meaningful sense?

Remember, they want you exhausted, overwhelmed, and wrung out. Self care is resistance. Eat something that fuels your body and soul today. If you’ve got sun, raise your face to it for a few deep breaths, take a walk, take a nap. Laugh out loud. Persist.

There, there. Don't you fret. Just seven more years and it'll all be over.

It’ll always anger and disgust me that so many people would’ve rather seen an evil racist rapist convicted felon become a dictator than a supremely qualified woman of color become President.

Quintessential Trump Come across a problem you don’t comprehend Propose a “solution” with all the nuance of a 6 year old Which solves nothing and-worse-merely creates additional problems Try to convince everyone that it works and then claim “victory” While everyone is worse for the wear

I am having trouble regulating my moods because everything is simultaneously so terrifying and so stupid.

Submitted a flash fiction piece for a contest that I've been working on for a while and yay, it's celebration time.
