I spy MAGGIE by @emergencychampagne.bsky.social 💚🩷

my dog’s name is oliver, and every time i get an email from someone of the same name, there is a very brief moment where i think maybe my dog has made an email account and is trying to contact me

just remembered “prop master” is a job that exists and i think we all need more whimsical job titles. i don’t want to be an email marketer. i’m your inbox jester.

a medical drama set in a vet ER called … The Pett

my mom once described investing to me as trying to guess what the world will look like in a few years and i like that because it makes the stock market less like math and more like tarot

the work is mysterious and important

if you had a bagel party in which everyone had to bring a different cream cheese, how would you keep track of who is bringing what? a spreadsheet.

the problem with mcnally jackson and trader joe’s being in the same building is that i now think books are part of my groceries

i don’t know who needs to hear this but there is literally nothing stopping you from taking a 15 minute break and going to get fries

really love that the superstitions on lunar new year are about not cleaning. can’t sweep because that sweeps away the luck. can’t take out the trash because that takes away the luck. can’t do laundry because that washes away the luck. finally a holiday i can really get behind!!

my downstairs neighbor got locked out of her apartment and we helped her break in using nothing but a library card, thus proving that reading really can open doors

✨ you’ve been visited by a good boy; he wishes you a good day ✨

moderately afraid of making a fool of myself in front of both my editor AND louis sachar (come watch; it’ll be fun!!)

ever since i was a little girl, i dreamed of circling back

my pre-order list is about to be as long as a cvs receipt lithub.com/lit-hubs-mos...

MAGGIE? Is that you?? On this Today Show list??? Ready your bookshelves because 2025 is looking good! www.today.com/popculture/b...

UK cover reveal! feeling like the luckiest girl in the world to meet my book with all her new faces ✨

new advice column at @brooklynmuseum.org ✏️✨ www.brooklynmuseum.org/stories/ms-l...

unbelievably kind of @debutiful.bsky.social to include MAGGIE on their most anticipated list!! and she’s in such great company 🥹🫶

just trying to find my people on this app

just turned 29 and now i have to sleep with a mouth guard; the years start coming and they DON’T stop coming!

can we call bluesky tweets “blue’s clues”
