I love when one of my books is on a summer reading list. I picture teens all over America reading about Emma Goldman and anarchism and getting inspired to speak out for their rights and rights of others and I just get all gooey. I love you, @thehornbook.bsky.social

Thank you beloved @thehornbook.bsky.social for putting Loudmouth on your summer reading list! Let's learn about this wild and wonderful woman, kids! @mackidssl.bsky.social If she can't dance, it's not her revolution... but she danced! Dance with Emma!

My co-author (forthcoming book from @simonkids.bsky.social ) has a few other careers. One of them is writing for kids TV shows. His latest is just wonderful. Congratulations @benjaminweiner.bsky.social On this new episode of Vida the Vet! youtu.be/JlJcgFSZt7U?...

To my #fountainpen people: I love my #Pilot 823 for everyday (long) writing. But it keeps having issues. #Pilot has good customer service, but I don't want to keep sending it back. The latest: a leak where the nib meets the pen. What other pen should I consider for long writing, lots of ink?

Thank you my wonderful publisher! Emma Goldman is a person to celebrate--in all her complexity. Although she had a dance on Yom Kippur, I believe she is the embodiment of Tikkun Olam. #jewishamericanheritagemonth

Thank you for including LOUDMOUTH on the summer reading list! @mackidssl.bsky.social

Thank you to @jdefilippo.bsky.social for writing a song about Emma Goldman after reading Loudmouth!!! You can listen to it on my Loudmouth page: deborahheiligman.com/books/books-... song by Joe and The R.J. Phillips band @mackidssl.bsky.social

And yes, I do believe teenagers need to know there are ways for them to fight! Thank you again! @mackidssl.bsky.social

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Hey Bluesky peeps, does anyone know LL Cool J? He needs to read this amazing post! (and so do you, really.) open.substack.com/pub/outlandi...

Sometimes you just have to make muffins.

Everyone, people. You don’t get to decide.

I keep thinking about this sign from Saturday

POV: You made history by joining the LARGEST protest in United States history! #NoKings Use the energy’s from today’s historic day to meet your neighbors (if safe) and start a group chat on Signal. The most important resistance work is hyper localized 🤝 #WeSayNoKings

Enough. No kings no war no ICE NO TRUMP.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Some great signs from NYC #nokings2026

I was there. It was amazing. We the people are speaking and we won’t shut up.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS NYC MASS MARCH” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

I don’t know if it’s allergies or a cold. The suspense is killing me.

Reposting for the morning crowd. 🦑🦑🦑

Really good article, Marjorie! And thank you for the nice shout out to The Boy Who Loved Math.

Thank you for helping me amplify this courageous woman. Long live Emma Goldman! @mackidssl.bsky.social @fiercereads.bsky.social

What a terrible example Trump is for our country’s children.

It’s a beautiful sad song to go with a sad story. Thank you for sharing it!

radnorite.com/12603/curren... My young nephew’s piece for his school paper.

For the first time I talked to high schoolers in a school about Emma Goldman. They were rapt. But the high point was when I said, "You think you all invented polyamory?!" I'm guessing that's the first time that word was uttered in that particular library.

Just sayin

I am a writer. I have a dog I adore. My dog is very important to my writing life. But is it such a slow news day, NYTimes, that you need to run a big article about writers and their dogs? Is this really what is important right now?

This is a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing it!

Baltimore Emma and I are here. @rolandparknews.bsky.social

New book for me: LOUDMOUTH: EMMA GOLDMAN VS. THE UNITED STATES (A LOVE STORY) by @dheiligman.bsky.social. I’ve been fascinated by Emma since seeing RAGTIME in 2024 & teenagers need to know about firebrands like her. Excited to read!

You will LOVE Loudmouth by @dheiligman.bsky.social!! 💛

You can register for the event here: www.eventbrite.com/e/deborah-he... I think there are free books until they run out. Just saying. #booksky www.instagram.com/prattlibrary/

Emma Goldman and I are taking our "show" live to Baltimore. Well, one of us will be live. Hope you can come! @mackidssl.bsky.social

18 book censorship posts from the last five years to revisit. That, plus this week's extensive roundup of book censorship news: bookriot.com/book-censors...

Like she was throughout her own life, she'd be persecuted by the government today for all the same reasons she fought against.

Thank you, Kelly, for reading Loudmouth and loving Emma (flaws and all!) And yes, we need the anger and the loudmouths now more than ever!
