I traded my pants in for the racing snail and have no regrets

By the way if you don’t want people to celebrate your death try this one trick: don’t endorse or plan war crimes! Hope this helps.

Asylum Hotel was picked up by Once Upon a Book Club -- they asked me to sign 1000 bookplates! I returned from my travels to find the box includes not only my novel but novel-related items such as a clock, journal, & travel mug marked with the page references. Such fun! Thank you, OUBC!!!

I lost my phone somewhere in my house (this is not unprecedented for me) and asked my BF to call me so I could hear the ringer. Then I picked up the phone and thought, "Oh! I missed a call! I'll call ba--" *Wait a minute...*

Dia de los Muertos

I want a sequel! Jenn McKinlay's Witches of Dubious Origin has a librarian, mysterious books, witches, magic, a touch of romance, a woman learning her own powers. Wonderful! #BookSky #Witches #Librarians tinyurl.com/4skxv7nz

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone. bookriot.com/the-day-the-books-disappeared-school-visit-cancelation/

Perhorresce [pur-huh-RES] (v.) - To tremble or shudder convulsively, typically as a result of fear or revulsion. Used in a sentence: “No longer able to master his terror, Clarence perhorresced violently as his wife’s moldering hand — redolent of the crypt — caressed his cheek.”

I spied this guy looking out at me from a very dusty window in Montmartre (Paris). I believe that, like me, he's second-guessing my decision to go back to the U.S.

One trend in Paris is festooning the fronts of shops with an abundance of fake flowers. I think it's fun, but the BF thinks it's rather tacky. Thoughts?

trump destroyed this....

No words.

Priorities.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

BBC News - No Kings protests draw huge crowds at anti-Trump rallies across US - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I ❤️ my hometown. Well done…

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Need yall to see my neighbor's #BTS pumpkin

People just don't realize how big these protests really are. The counters are still counting but so far its more than 7 million which puts this at the largest protests in US history. Just in Chicago

The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

I love my country! ***NO KINGS***

I don't hate America, I just hate him. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Happy No Kings Day!

I can't do much but cheer on so cheer I will. That and promote the protests. We have to win this thing, everyone do their part, no matter how small. Democracy is on the line. If you can at all manage it, attend your local protest today. Like your lives depend on it.

Release the Epstein files.....

Big protests coming up Suggest everyone who can attend news.yahoo.com/news/article...

Our very own Elizabeth has written a stunningly good piece. We very highly recommend it.

A friend kept talking about bringing a metal detector to the French vineyard next year. Um...yes please! Let's find a hoard! www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

“Kids”

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

One of many things I love about Spain: so many balconies, so much art!

"SIX TRIPLE EIGHT" ANTIFA...

FYI!!!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

And the sky was happy until it heard about the coastal storm that’s coming.

Inventive People of Portland Dressing as Animals: Please don't dress as dogs. Your life will not be safe with psychopath Kristi Noem on the rooftops.

Very much enjoying the inflatable frog segment of the civil war.

Love this!

"After a few moments of laughter..." The No Kings organizers with a fun, tidy response to Mike Johnson's shenanigans.

This planet is a beautiful blessing, still and always. #photography

Little Spanish kitty needs a little love. Everywhere I go, a black cat seems to appear! Do you suppose that means something??? #witch #familiar
