I'm thrilled to announce that LOUDMOUTH: EMMA GOLDMAN VS. AMERICA (A LOVE STORY) was named a Best Book of the Year by @bankstreetlibrary.bsky.social This means so much to me! @mackidssl.bsky.social

Nu, @newyorker.com ?

I enjoyed the interview. Wondering, though, Mr. Remnick--will you interview the others in the race? @newyorker.com Seems only fair. At least this is what all my dog-walking friends on the UWS told me this morning when I said I was listening to it.

Oh eager to listen!

Really enjoyed the @biographersintl.bsky.social conference. I spoke with Ray Anthony Shepard about radical biographies for teens. Angela Carstensen was a great moderator. Learned a lot from other speakers. It’s a wonderful community! #booksky

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!
