women have to do The Long Walk backwards and in heels

Personally, I do things not because they’re easy, but because I incorrectly thought they’d be easy

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The thing I want to stress to people: Authors (and other artists you admire) don't *expect* you to be scintillating when you meet us, so don't worry about being clever. What *is* appreciated is if you're nice. Just be nice! Nice is good!

Walking down the street with Willow, belting the lyrics to the Sesame Street Pinball Counting Song, and singing” 1–2–3–FOUR, FIVE–6–7–8–NINE, TEN-ELEVEN, TWELVE doot doodoodoot doo doo” out loud b/c it’s the end of the work week and I’ve finally regained control of my life. youtu.be/JZshZp-cxKg?...

Stop sharing AI slop. It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays. But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

F*CK BILLIONAIRES, the 300 page FULL COLOR, OVERSIZED, softcover graphic novel will be completed soon and then sent to the printer (!!). If you are interested in the book, the ONLY guaranteed way to buy it is to PREORDER. A twist-filled whodunit howdunit thriller. Preorder link in my bio.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I have a middle grade novel coming out in March! It's about a girl who inherits a ghost-busting business called The Unfinished Business and is then tasked with finishing the unfinished business of its late owner. I worked on it for years, and I hope you love it as much as I do! #BookSky #KidLit

will always repost a triffid

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

I’m just saying, I directed a movie for basically no money that debuted in the 90s on rotten tomatoes and got distribution with no stars attached, I did not get a single call and couldn’t even find a rep as a director. This was not the case for any of the male directors I went to AFI with.

client work today, but at least I'm writing a script :)

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011. It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat. “Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

Thank you Irish PLR - and Irish librarians. It's never 'pay off my mortgage' money but I appreciate the small injection of cash & the knowledge that people are out there enjoying my books. These are my 4 most borrowed titles (all picture books).

this is today’s new york post, yes because they are big mad, but also because they know mamdani voters will buy it just for the cover

The shift in Connecticut tonight is seismic. Possibly unprecedented. Loads of towns flipped from Republican to Democratic control. A partial list: Ansonia Bethany Branford Bristol Brooklyn East Granby Ellington Enfield Farmington Milford New Britain New Fairfield Norwich Plymouth Rocky Hill

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

YESSSSSSSSS

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.
