Excited to have signed on with Foreshore Publishing who wrote a nice feature about my upcoming book: foreshorepublishing.com/kate-mcelder... #newbook #novel #writing #neurodiversity #comingofage

He summoned 800 US Generals & senior commanders from around the world to lecture on ethos, fitness, say black officers got promoted for a quota etc “The people in that room who have served for 20, 30-plus years in uniform do not need Pete Hegseth to tell them about warrior ethos” said one veteran 🤦🏼‍♂️

Moore: I take real pride that when I look at my team, these are subject matter experts.. Trump doesn’t have that. He has sycophants who go into cabinet meetings and spend three and a half hours telling him how good he is instead of actually educating him

Mens' rights don't vary by state but womens' rights do. 😡

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

📖A pair of hares. Reading Chloe Dalton's Raising Hare in my reading nook where my hare cushion 'lives'. (My friend sewed hare cushion fr scraps collected fr factory mills in England.) Her creation is a fine beauty, just like this book. Chloe Dalton's writing is elegant. ✨👌 #goodbook #hare

▪️War is failure of politicians ▪️Talking to enemies is the only way to resolve conflict ▪️Children are absorbing this, & scared, even if you think they are not. ▪️Tell them there are bad adults, who do bad things. ▪️But there are far more good people, who do good. ▪️Tell them they are safe & listen.

A gentle rain came down much of the day. It felt quintessentially Mayland spring. Yet it also brought happy memories of time spent in England & Ireland. Writing of Ireland, our cat has claimed the "Ireland chair" & we're convinced she loves story time as much as we do! #storytime #cats #rain

Trump doesn't have “conflicts of interest” anymore. A “conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation where Trump might choose his own interests over the nation’s. But Trump isn’t conflicted about anything. He's the most corrupt president in American history.

Good things do come in 3’s .especially after the rough period Roisin had recently with 5 dislocated since January during her seizures. But there’s always a pot of gold at the end on the Rainbow 🌈 #booksky #writingcommunity #inspire #trend @katemcelderry , @carolinemadden . #followyourdreams

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

Climate change is causing less frequent, but more intense rainstorms throughout the Bay region. Despite experiencing more flooding than ever before, on average we’re getting much less precipitation than our native ecosystems are used to

Getting creative! 😉 Hundreds of billboards are rising in 40 U.S. cities, bashing staff and service cuts at national parks under DOGE.

Publishing has a serious class problem. It is one of the most socially exclusive of all creative industries. Please, if you can, read this. @thebookseller.com @ipghq.bsky.social thebeemagazine.com/publishings-...

Trump's incompetence is everywhere.  His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

Me on Independent Bookstore Day

📚Here is to honoring #IndependentBookstoreDay2025! 🎉Visit & buy books from independent bookstores to support local business & a hub that cares & creates positive community experiences. So proud to see the book I wrote & co-authored on its shelf. @kmcel.bsky.social #Independent #Bookstore #Day 2025

🎉Poetry on the Patio, a fundraising event, was a great success! What an incredible community event it was benefiting a great cause: the literacy development & empowerment of #Baltimore City students. Thank you to #The_Ivy_Bookshop. #nationapoetrymonth #poetry #fundraiser #tutoring #program

Books entertain and educate. Book clubs build community. Now's a good time to be a part of a community, if you'd like.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
