Library events, reading lists, and podcasts, oh my! #booksky #writingcommunity #writingpodcasts

Leading with the word count and ending with "Here's a transcript of their conversation" tells me how much substance exists in those 23,000 words. 4 reporters with a sitting president for 2 hrs and not a single comment or topic they wanted to highlight? I'll get right to reading this masterpiece.

I don't know how to make any of this make sense anymore.

Renee Nicole Good. Murdered 1/7/26 by her government's goon squad. Say her name.

In honor of the officers who defended the Capitol 5 years ago today from an attack instigated by our current ruler, here's a photo of the plaque Republicans in congress still refuse to hang to commemorate their bravery and sacrifice.

Feeling stormy... #PNW #pugetsound

Our country has reached the point where students survive a mass shooting in high school just to experience it again at university. How are we not ashamed?

There will never be a day I pass by Clue on the channel guide and don't stop. Absolutely my favorite comedy movie and the cast is unmatched.

Flying home after saying goodbye to a dear friend and a few days of a bittersweet family visit. An evening with my nephew always brightens my heart.

I never know what to wear when dressing for a funeral. open.substack.com/pub/aliedh/p...

I lost a dear friend this week. She was a tender heart and a fierce light, all at the same time. Hug all your loved ones, Peeps. 🍅

My WIP: What are you up to, Alie? Me: I've got the most awesome island going on ACNH, getting ready for my upgrade. #writingcommunity #iamwriting #acnh

21 years together, married 19 today. I walked down the aisle to Pretty Donna by Collective Soul, and to Rich's surprise, I didn't cry once during our ceremony even though he's seen me cry over commercials. I don't know how I got so lucky but finding this guy changed my whole world.

I left the house wearing what I call "real pants" instead of the sweats I'm usually in at home. I changed when I got home and tossed my pants on the bed. Torvi pulled them off, shook them like a rag doll then walked away. I think she was mad I left without her but I also think she blames the pants!

Some good news for those who had work stolen. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Both of tonight's winners for the signed copies of The Myth Maker follow me on Instagram, but watch out for next month's giveaway!

Enjoy your day, Peeps, however you choose to celebrate, and don't forget to check out my Giveaway post! Winners announced tomorrow! #booksky #writingcommunity

I wrote a piece for @crimereads.bsky.social on a quick history of women in law enforcement. You can find it here! #booksky #writingcommunity crimereads.com/women-law-en...

I can't sleep but I can get a perfect score on solitaire so there's that...

I did buy it for the title and I did enjoy it! "I'm Sorry Y Feel That Way; The Astonishing but True Story of a Daughter, Sister, Slut, Wife, Mother, and Friend to Man & Dog" by Diana Joseph!

My kid and I did a lot of concerts together when he was young. It seems impossible that this one was 20 years ago.

50 years ago today the Edmund Fitzgerald went down with no survivors. 10 years ago I wrote about the wreck here... #EdmundFitzgerald aliedh.substack.com/p/the-witch-...

G'night, Peeps.

Good things are possible and we don't have to settle. 💙

This evening has been a good evening and it's not over yet.

Already almost noon somehow...Hang on and have a good day!

Torvi and her woobie sock. She actually now owns the pair, and she drags them around daily, cuddles when she needs them, and parades them around for guests. And unlike her other toys, she's never tried to tear them apart.

Soup, it's what's for dinner. 🍽️🥣

Sad to see my home team Mariners lose, but I'll always be a Giants fan, so Go, Toronto! BEAT LA! ⚾

It's too early in this game for me to be this worried...⚾ #Mariners

A little protest and a little baking. G'night, Peeps.
