I love a book I just finished reading so much I want to go live in its world rather than this one sometimes—and it’s a horror novel.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Let’s make some buttons! (I mean, someone with a button maker. And send me one, pretty please.)

Remember, lady in Oklahoma who is skipping meals so her kids can eat, what you are experiencing is not hunger but a Democrat hoax.

Some movies that I will always stop to watch if they happen to be on TV: Goodfellas, Grease, Shutter Island.

Ripley found this dog toy in our walk and insisted we bring it home, proving that she’s inherited the Michalski dumpster-diving gene.

My brother spent Thanksgiving doing important work.

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores? We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

Confused that more Canadian libraries are carrying my book than American but thank you, my people of the moose and maple syrup. 🍁🫎🍁🫎💗

In the kitchen, my spirit animal is the Swedish Chef

So since we’re staying home this Thanksgiving, we’re checking in on a bunch of cats in our condo complex. Do we order them DoorDash or what?

I totally forgot Robyn Hitchcock was in Rachel at the Wedding.

Shoutout to @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social in San Diego!

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Do you need a beta reader? Do you need an attorney? Do you need a wingman? Do you need a ride or die?

PSA: You probably shouldn’t listen to an audiobook that includes a puppet-themed funeral before you fall asleep.

My book is on the most important 2025 best-of list: my own. /cope.

I think Netflix or Apple or Hulu should adapt “All This Can Be True” by @socalwritergirl.bsky.social because there’s hot lesbian camper-van sex involved

Me: I need to work on chapter 8 of my novel— Ripley: The hell you are.

All I want for Christmas is some…book sales. Alternately, I would love to visit your book club or would a request to carry my book at your local library. I’m so proud of this book, and I hope that I can share that love with more people. 💗💗💗

I feel like Trader Joe’s is the only company offering self-care for America in these uncertain times.

It's really weird to see people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, who once had sweet corporate gigs, have to turn up the creep knob to compete with a generation of personalities that started with an iPhone and a mental disorder.

Who would not put their money on MTG effing his shit up?

I have been thinking all day about the grilled cheese and tomato soup I will have for dinner. #simplepleasures

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

The window of time in which a banana is good to eat is approximately 2 hours.

I'm in Detroit. It's 25 degrees & dropping. I met a woman who has slept outside for 5 months. Yesterday, all of her belongings, incl her blankets, were thrown away. She has nowhere else to go. It doesn't have to be like this. Housing + support solves homelessness. We need political will.

The Democrats should lie and say this was part of their compromise.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Vote blue so they’ll screw you.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Grief is like a shard of glass in your stomach. It’s impossible to pass, so you spend years learning how to move, to not move, to minimize the pain. Still, when you least expect it, it cuts you. Even though it needs you to live, it only knows its nature.

I want to be a stay-at-home dog mom.

I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today. Rules are simple: to be in with a chance to win, you just have to repost this piece I wrote about Jo and her art: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...

Dear universe: wrong Dick.

I can’t tell if I’ve reached a growth milestone wherein I’m no longer over-accommodating to people’s feelings over my own or I’m just experiencing a symptom of menopause. #nomoredoormat

Why are the care and feeding instructions for my dog more detailed than the first draft of my novel?

Looks like people of color are about to get their own water fountains again.

Me: Ate too many miniatures. I want to vomit. I think I just crossed the threshold into type two diabetes Also me: Just one more. #ReadyforHalloween

The leftwing independent candidate, Catherine Connolly, has won a landslide victory in Ireland’s presidential election. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

I hope when AOC is president she turns the East Ballroom into an immigrant welcome center.

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

I have devoted my life to rescuing animals because people are lost causes.

The same women who complain they have to do everything for their husbands are strangely the ones who’ll never vote for a woman for president.

Still trying to get into the head of someone who bags their dog’s poop but then leaves the bag on the grass or sidewalk instead of disposing of it. Are they just half-sociopath? In training?
