Cis people who did some thinking before coming out to themselves as cis tend to be some of the most reliable, honourable and secure people I’ve ever known.

“I would like to give myself permission to appreciate the work I did when I was 24 years old. The way that I know to recapture joy is to make something new.” I love this interview. Too often I cringe when I look back at things I wrote in my 20s. We should all give our younger creative selves grace.

I'm so excited to finally have time to read this book I've been looking forward to forever: Year Of The Mer @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app . . . (I got to read a very early draft, and even then, it was amazing, as is everything L does.)

Love the Pitt, love reading articles about the Pitt, and have two very strong takes on the Pitt: 1) The bravest thing the show has done is to allow Robby to be a genuine asshole. Trauma does not make people saints! 2) The worst thing the show runners & writers could do is listen to fans.

Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...

I've received a number of dismayed and affronted inquiries about me not doing more Year of the Mer appearances! This is a delightful problem to have but all I can tell you to do is have your local bookstore/library get in touch with Simon and Schuster and tell them you want me showing up places. 💜

It’s hard promoting your own book, and even harder when your imprint is closing, but I worked very hard on a book I am enormously proud of, so I will keep screaming into the void. Celebrate your own accomplishments, y’all, because you earned it. ❤️

Tomorrow at noon! An #EarthDay themed storytime at An Unlikely Story in Plainville, MA. I’ll read my newest book—Rooted in Wonder— share details about its creation, and facilitate a tree-related craft. #SteamTeamBooks #Nature

truly monstrous to be cutting funding to Imagination Library.

"Severed a roadkill-racoon penis, to study later." Every time I hear a story about this sociopath administration, I think it must be someone making a joke about them, but more often than not it's just real. I hate it here.

Hmmm. Light treason?

I'm so GenX that my elementary school "lockdown" drills were to prepare us for nuclear missiles. Sigh.

So thrilled to have Year of the Mer, the amazing debut by @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app featured at our bookstore! She is absolutely fantastic and I have thoroughly enjoyed every interaction I’ve ever had with her. If you’re in North Georgia, come get the book today! It is genuinely fantastic.

Lilo (and Stitch) are the most accurate representations of my autism, and I felt that movie.

What's your favorite Bible verse? (Wrong answers only) "You must chill! You must chill! I have hidden your keys! Chill!" - The Book of Lloyd Dobler, on not letting friends drive drunk

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

Incredibly excited for Year of the Mer! Check it out!

JD Vance only converted to Catholicism in 2019. He's been Catholic just as long as a class of second graders who just took their First Communion. If Vance disagrees with the actual pope, he's free to fuck off and find a yet another faith he can cynically exploit for his own political career.

Margo Zimmerman Gets The Girl by Brianna Shrum and Sara Waxelbaum is a great "older YA" romance. There's a lot of one and two.

The President wants to illegally take over America’s central bank. There should be no Senate hearing on his Fed Chair nominee.

I wrote a book with 101 tips about misused words, and here’s just one great reason to buy it: it's on sale right now! Find the ebook at Bookshop and Barnes & Noble for only $2.99. These deals don’t last long, so grab your copy while you can! 📕 BN: is.gd/DRvYHn Bookshop: is.gd/969ISA

You move the Democrats to the left by voting in the primaries You move the country to the left by voting in the general. Don't surrender to the Nazis by not voting.

Now send JD Vance to run the publicity team for the new Harry Potter series.

Also noting here that there is absolutely ZERO chance the billionaires could even be launching the stuff they have without NASA. All of that research was public, and they have scraped it and have not returned a damn cent for the work we the public funded. Much less the junkers they can’t launch.

Book censorship has so many far-reaching consequences, especially in the world of children’s publishing. Whoever your audience, if you’re an author you should be screaming about this.

Been trying this. Reached out to a high school friend recently because I heard a song from Jesus Christ Superstar we used to sing together when playing in the pit Orchestra for the show, and whenever I heard it, it was in his voice: “One thing I’ll say for him, Jesus is cool.”

For the record, I was a Swalwell supporter and had planned on voting for him in the primary. Me believing the women was not political. It's based on the corroboration of evidence confirmed by multiple news outlets, and the Manhattan DA finding enough evidence exists to open a criminal probe.

Apropos of nothing, just something I think about a lot: During the worst pandemic in a century, lots of people told a bunch of outrageous lies that caused much, much more death. It was one of the more grotesque moral crimes I've ever witnessed & zero (0) of those involved faced any consequences.

"Jackson’s core argument is that talk therapy is a medical treatment, and medical treatments are subject to state regulation. The fact that this treatment is delivered through speech rather than a scalpel or a syringe does not exempt it from the rules that govern every other form of medical care."

There's a metal band called Glyph that kicked out their lead singer when they found out he was beating his now ex-wife. That same ex-wife is now the lead singer of Glyph. I think a lot of men could learn from their example.

"Jackson’s core argument is that talk therapy is a medical treatment, and medical treatments are subject to state regulation. The fact that this treatment is delivered through speech rather than a scalpel or a syringe does not exempt it from the rules that govern every other form of medical care."

J.D. Vance is such a loser.

AI bros sound the same as NRA people popping up after tragedies to say guns have legit uses. Nobody asked you, everybody already knows what you think, and you're only here to yell PR for the product that you turned into your identity.

Shoutout to the Mets for this 📸 @mets.com

omg. when they hit the water and didn't sink . . . I was so relieved. I couldn't even talk 😂

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

seeing those chutes open . . . 💜

I can't wait for this whole admin to go to prison. A cancer on humanity.

Thanks to Melania for re-centering Epstein!

I love the 90s WB cartoon approach of writing material for no imaginable demographic. There's a Pinky and the Brain that's an episode-long parody of Billy Jack. Animaniacs did a simultaneous takeoff of Apocalypse Now and the suppressed Jerry Lewis Holocaust movie The Day the Clown Cried.

Pair this with the rise in older YA being marketed as "mature YA" and, well there's a reason a lot of us are gravely concerned about the future of the age category.

I mean, those dudes have been waiting for me to go broke for a real long time now

if you start pissing me off i'm gonna call you AI and say you're a clanker so better not annoy me

One of my favorite "new" bands I've been listening to for the past few years is Apes Of The State. Here's a song that pops into my head almost every day: Anthem For The End Of The World . . . open.spotify.com/track/5sxAHs...

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only . . .

We are at a crossroads with genAI and schools. I am going to lose my mind thanks to people not in the classroom constantly pushing teachers, especially in the humanities, to use AI.
