Dear writers and readers, I've a question regarding presale incentive(s): would a dollar off and a dollar to charity be enough? Or do people just want "stuff"? Keychains, bookmarks, autographs? Thoughts? THX! #authors #booksky #novelwriting #marketing #WritingCommunity #indieauthor #writersofbluesky

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎

Finally saw the Bonhoeffer film. While I enjoyed seeing the nearby locations where it was filmed, I think that it tried to cram too much information into too little time. A better script – or better editing – could have done justice to this man who had a message for his day – and for ours.

Do what you will w/this ... 🙌

And Al Green shaking his cane is not a problem either - in case any in democratic leadership read on BlueSky. It is time for the Democratic Party leadership to decide which side they are on. Are you for the workers? Or are you for Elon? And if you refuse to lead, get out of the way.

I am the Libraries Wales Author of the Month, what a lovely thing. If you're so inclined you can read my interview with them here where I touch on such topics as Mervyn Peake, The Beatles, people who wrongly claim they're working class, Discworld, and the NME. libraries.wales/aotm/emily-c...

Working on a back cover blurb for an upcoming novel (Where Wolves Hide), I wrote: Is toppling a king worth placing your head in the guillotine? It seems apropos given all that’s going on. No? Yes? Feel free to pass it around. Maybe someone has a definitive answer? #writingcommunity #writersky

"We care about veterans tremendously...but at the same time, we have taxpayer dollars, we have a fiscal responsibility to use taxpayer dollars to pay people who actually work" Veterans don't work? Hello, Democrats who are in charge of campaign ads? Run this clip. NOW.

So we have a bit more than 50% of American's now following European leaders, the Leader of Mexico and a true leader Trudeau instead of the FOTUS or its administration 😭 BUT we must go with Democracy

Yes - @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedem.bsky.social Hold town halls in red districts, your Republican colleagues are afraid of their angry constituents. Take them off their hands.

Tuesday Trump will address Congress, laying out his "vision" & pushing a major overhaul of the federal govt & its workforce. Dems in Congress must NOT remain silent! Every statement should be met with loud, clear opposition. Now is the time for loud, unwavering resistance. Contact your Senators/Reps

My fellow seniors- you OK with this? 👇👇
