There is only one person who can get BlueSky working again.

I mean I eat Aldi oats but how can you argue with this

And I contacted my district’s benefits dept, we do not have vision coverage so I couldn’t pay for it even if I wanted to. Vision-related expenses can be paid for with our HSA. Yikes, hope no one ever needs eye surgery! 😬👁️

In better news, my students are really enjoying this book today! I read it to fifth grade and third grade. #kidlit #nonfiction #booksky #earthmonth

I learned today that my medical insurance does not cover vision. So no lenses, no frames, AND no eye surgery. I fell like if you need eye surgery, that is part of your health!! I’m glad I don’t need eye surgery just glasses at the moment 😆 but I can see pretty good lol so I guess I won’t get them.

As of this morning, the fifth volume of the Guild Mage series, Renegade, is available on Amazon in both ebook and paperback!

Are we great yet?

So the two grape vines I ordered arrived today. Apparently you need to soak the roots for at least 4-6 hrs before planting (up to 24) so I will plant them tmo. I have no idea what tf I’m doing. 😆

Evergreen reminder: If you've enjoyed an indie book, a simple review across platforms can really do wonders for it. It helps provide legitimacy and helps other readers! It doesn't have to be a multi-paragraph essay, just a simple, "I liked this for these reasons!" is great.

New deadlift PR: 145 lbs! 2 reps. 🙌 That’s *almost* my bodyweight. 😬😛 #gymsky

BlueSky is amazing, every time I post about needing money for bathing suits, daycare, etc, something good comes up! The library I used to work at as an assistant needs some Sunday help so I will pick up a couple in May and June. 🙌 (While my mom babysits for free. 🙏) #manifesting #authorsky

Universal pre-k would be so easy to fund. And I’d guess most people would be in favor. You know except the oligarchs

This is what we will be paying for childcare in the coming months, and starting payments for PreK 26/27. I make a lot of money but this is daunting. On that note, I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter! Personal finance, underground stuff: open.substack.com/pub/jessiemay #authorsky #booksky

For real. Every legislator should be traveling to DC if they’re not there already.

I think I might wear this dress to play in a coffee shop Friday night. OK it’s a little dramatic. 😆 but you only live once!

Couldn’t get through to the vice president’s office. Left a nice message on the White House comment line: 1(202)456-1111 #25thamendment

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

Calling legislators all morning. Join me! Whatever Trump is planning, it must be stopped. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 So far I’ve called @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @delauro.house.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov Chuck Schumer, Mike Johnson, John Thune, & M McConnell

I’m so excited that my book is in my local library — it means anyone in Connecticut can check it out and have it delivered to the library in their town! So cool! @nedlamont.com please don’t cut interlibrary loan funding!

Happy Easter! I tried not to give my kids a bunch of candy I don’t want them to eat or plastic garbage that will be all over my house. And one is on a full liquid diet right now, so food options are limited anyway. We’ve got bubble bath, “bath, whipped cream,” pudding, chocolate milk with protein,

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Artemis II will travel 252,757 miles from Earth, breaking Apollo 13's record of farthest crewed space flight by about 4,102 miles. Voyager 1, which is the farthest uncrewed spacecraft from Earth, is currently 15,780,000,000 (15.78 billion) miles from Earth.

The local bookstore only has two copies left! So happy w/ the response so far. My goal is to sell 100. So far, I’ve sold 47 personally, through the Large Website, and through this local bookstore. Get yours? Middle grade expository nonfiction about #Pagan holidays: www.amazon.com/Wheel-Year-I...

Found the type of shorts I needed at Savers today for $4.23. Take that, Thigh Society and your $56 shorts! And better yet, they were size MEDIUM! Been awhile since ya girl fit into anything medium. 🙌

I should totally make another starter pack for Bsky this weekend. 👀 But! In the meantime, if you aren’t following all these groovy people, get on it! 💞 • go.bsky.app/7u5ZeVQ • go.bsky.app/7u5ZeVQ

I guess I'm part of the #5amwritersclub today.

“We can’t cover daycare,” but we can start a war for no reason. 👎

The universe works in mysterious ways, the bookshop where I had my event a couple weeks ago just contacted me to say I have another check to pick up! 🙌 Maybe I’ll purchase a complete bathing suit after all…. 😆

Clothing prices are insane! Almost bought some shorts that go under a dress and have a pocket, $56 including shipping! Bathing suit bottom $66! w/o shipping Didn't buy either of these bc I only have around $450 this month that's not assigned to a bill. Who needs bathing suit bottoms anyway? :p

Amazing. 🙌

Weeding day! This guy hasn’t been checked out in 10 or more years, but I like his energy. 😂 #schoollibrary #librarysky #kidlit

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily. But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos. Pure incompetence.

Post your favorite Lord of the rings character….Wrong Answers only.

There’s a perception of self publishing as “less than.” But when I tell people that I wrote and just released a book, many say that they’re working on a book too or want to write one. It’s a long process! Even self-pub. But at least in 2026, you can open your own gate. #authorsky a.co/d/0f9zCW7x
