My newest stories are going out to literary magazines, each with my hopes that they'll be published. Please, #WritingCommunity and #Booksky friends, wish me luck and send positive vibes.

I'll be hosting the Write Where You Are virtual write session tomorrow morning at 10 AM PST. #WritingCommunity www.meetup.com/writewhereyo...

For anyone else feeling depressed, here is a picture of my cat in a basket.

❤️ Let's Go Dodgers!

Alabama!! Help us speak up and prevent this grave injustice in our state!!

Speaking to my "non-political" friends. If you're still supporting this man, I don't think there's a way we can stay friends. I don't care what excuses you make for him, or arguments you have in his defense. I cannot trust you as a person if you can see this and think it's good leadership.

RIP Trayvon Martin and everyone else murdered in the street for the crime of existing. I'm so tired of seeing people be killed for no reason, and instead of accountability, they blame the victim for their own murder.

If any cool people want to support a local bookstore here in Long Beach Casita Bookstore is raising money to keep their doors open. #books #Smallbussinesses #booksky gofund.me/d6601951c

All of these people and everything they've done should be investigated.

Reminder: it would be trivially easy for a mere handful of Republicans to stop all of this.

Finished my first book of the year. I would highly recommend The Bone Picker. I was happy to read a story about Native people, by Native people. And truly enjoyed the stories, some were sad, some were spooky, all of them were good. #booksky

Sometimes it's hard to find joy in a world like this. It's affected my writing. I don't have the heart to follow the darkest stories/endings I had planned. I think we need to inspire hope, or change, or even anger if it's directed properly. #writingcommunity #booksky

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

Writing dystopian science fiction feels like a losing effort when the events from your book keep happening in real life. #booksky #writingcommunity

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The Mother F*cking World is a Ghetto - Ice Cube

130,000 Alabamans are about to lose their health insurance as a direct result of the “One big beautiful bill”, and a Florida man is tweeting like it’s some kind of win. If you live in the state, call Sen. Tuberville and tell him what’s on your mind: 202-224-3121

Good question

BREAKING: At least 40 people killed in U.S. airstrikes on Venezuela, including civilians… Disgusting.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

The president’s obsession with the Somali community and me is really unhealthy and creepy. He is trying to deflect from his failures and sinking approval ratings. Sorry, Trump, we all see through your attempts to hide from your broken promises.

I Think Her Party Should Be Making Statements In Her Defense And The Greater Somali Community

Just saw #ParanormalActivity at the Ahmanson Theater in LA. What an incredible show. I didn't think a play could be that scary, but the whole thing was chilling and unsettling. It's a must-see for any #horror fan. youtu.be/NMryNpnQaEk?...

Who else AGREES with Jennifer?! 🤚 Billionaires. Are. The. Real. Enemy.😎✨

Senator #AOC has a nice ring to it — #Schumer & the old guard have had their day in the sun, but now it’s time to pass the torch

This person took this when they called the race

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

On November 4, 1780, Indigenous Incan leader Tupac Amaru II led a months-long uprising against Spanish rule in present day Peru. It would inspire thousands more to rise up across South America. Latest episode of #StoriesOfResistance from @undertheshadow.bsky.social

Just a reminder that everyone needs to vote. The future of this country, now more than ever, depends on us making our voices heard.

Literally me. #FestiveAF #holidayhorror

What he said: 💯 🎯

4 Books 4 Weeks 1 Amazing spooky season. The Haunting of Hill House was my favorite, followed closely by Mexican Gothic and Carrie. And Slade House was great too. #Horror #HorrorBooks #Halloween

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 31: Halloween Day Trick r Treat The original Halloween is one of my favorite movies of all time. But I always love talking about how incredible Trick r Treat is. I watch both every year.

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 30: Coraline So many great first horror movies for kids, including Ernest Scared Stupid, Monster House, Hocus Pocus, Paranorman, Gremlins, or Poltergeist. I love them all, but don't think Coraline gets the love it deserves.

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 29: William Castle 13 Ghosts I haven't seen too many William Castle films, aside from The Tingler and House on Haunted Hill. But what an incredibly creative gimmick: making ghosts visible only to people wearing the glasses.

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 28: Haunted House You Haven't Seen The Entity This has always sounded like a wild one for me. Never got around to seeing it.

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 27: Creepy Neighbors Rosemary's Baby They aren't outwardly creepy to be fair, but watching the movie, you can't help but feel there's something off about this couple and their smoothies that they pressure you to drink in front of them.

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 25: Pumpkin on The Poster Wallace & Gromit The Curse of the Were-Rabbit So it's a kids movie and all the victims are vegetables, but still it's in the genre. I caught this on a lazy Sunday and was shocked by how much I loved it. Now it's a favorite

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 25: Feels Like a Fairytale Pan's Labrynth This is the third day where the obvious answer was "The People Under The Stairs" But there are a lot of good horror movies that feel like fairy tales. Midsommar, The Witch, The Village, The Shape of Water..

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 24: Don't Go In the Basement Evil Dead

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 23: Mad Science The Fly Disgusting, disturbing, and so much fun to watch. Another film I got disturbing glimpses of as a kid, but grew to appreciate as an adult.

31 Days of #Halloween #HorrorMovies Challenge Day 22: Wes Craven Deep Cut The People Under The Stairs Saw this movie when I may have been a little too young. I love that it plays almost like a fable. It's a horror movie and coming-of-age story that affirms courage and character.

Just finished Mexican Gothic and I loved it. That's 3 horror books this October. Looks like I need to stop by the bookstore and see if I can find at least one more before spooky season is over. #Books #HorrorBooks #WritingandBooks

31 Days of #Halloween #Horror Challenge Day 21: Everyone Dies at the End Cabin in the Woods I also thought about Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead but Cabin in the Woods is such an incredible deconstruction and love letter to #slasher #HorrorMovies. Horror comedies don't always work but this one does

31 Days of #Halloween #Horror Challenge Day 20: Famous Jupscare The Gift Many great jumpscares in movies. There are ones in Sinister, The Exorcist 3, The Ring, The Grudge, Jaws, Alien... etc. But this movie, which isn't even a horror movie, delivered one of the most effecive jump scares I've seen
