He's a national treasure. HBD, Willie! @willienelson.bsky.social @mauimom.bsky.social

Once again, it's a Tuesday, and that means there are many good books being published today. Buy or borrow one and it will be an automatic distraction from the daily horrors.

Yay! Pub day for The Insomniacs--congrats to the fabulously talented Allison Winn Scotch! 👏

Wholesome shit. I guess this means human nature is inherently good.

Did Gak also invent AI?

If everyone could operate with Pink’s honesty and compassion, we might actually achieve world peace. ✌🏼

AM walk & @willienelson.bsky.social's Heart of America shot into my earphones like a prayer-92 blessed years on this planet watching America's ebbs & flows, Willie remains hopeful. If you haven't had the pleasure, give it a listen. You'll thank me. youtu.be/0bhcO4Yphuo?... @mauimom.bsky.social

Our Teddy-boy

Yup. If you’re going to have little kids at a press conference, you have to welcome the fact that they act like little kids. What’s creepy is when people line up a bunch of silent children who behave like Act 1 Von Trapps.

Something is in my eyes. 🥲 www.reddit.com/r/sportsgoss...

When your people deliver on Christmas wishes you didn’t know you had ❤️ @mauimom.bsky.social

Sad for what this will mean for my hometown. www.amarillo.com/story/news/2...

Letter below is by surgical oncologist and professor Dr. Michael Baum about how a character explaining chaos theory in a Tom Stoppard play sparked an expansion in his understanding of breast cancer, leading to exploration of adjuvant therapy that protects distant organs. This is what art can do.

If you know a young writer 15-21, please share this incredible opportunity! @writingtable.bsky.social #writing #callsforsubmissions

@jenniferweiner.bsky.social nailed it in @nytimes.com today. 👏 Endless Gossipy Chatter About Epstein. One Glaring Omission. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/o...

This makes me so sad-sad for the stations, their staff, staff families, but most of all for what it signals about the value of solid journalism.

Catholic bishops collectively taking to Tik Tok to decry the war on immigrants is very notable: www.tiktok.com/@usbishops/v...

Oldish friends catching up

Raining in Omaha today, but earlier this week I was treated to these gorgeous colors.

Bogey, on the other hand, is ready for the pickleball court. Happy Halloween! #halloweendogs #dogsincostumes #frustrateddogmoms

My boys are never pleased when Halloween comes around and mom pulls out the Bert & Ernie costumes. New costumes this year. First up: Teddy. Who, it appears doesn't love being a Teddy after all. Who knew? #halloweendogs #dogsincostumes #frustrateddogmoms

As an editor who's also a writer, it's especially painful to read a beautifully crafted submission from a writer with obvious talent and have to reject it—for any number of reasons. Writers, we want every one of you to be our next yes!!

GM #5AMWritersClub The only ghosts awake at this hour are us, and thankfully, my coffee maker. ☕👻✍️ #AmWriting Some more #Halloween week humour. This one will may resonate with #cozymystery fans of a certain age.

We love her.

It is interesting that we’ve never seen a government initiative to support a business that employed so many Americans. They just let it die a natural death.

Yay, Wichita! 👏 Bee Happy: They’re Saving Pollinators in Kansas www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/c...

Enchanted Rock is a key location in my novels. ❤️

Wait. The pillow guy has a news platform?

Will this will fuel support for vouchers/private schools? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Whaaaat?!? Fresh Gary Larson funnies? Yes, please!!!

Who’s chatting with Ms. Bev on @writingtable.bsky.social today? 😁😁😁😁😁

Brilliant 🤣

Accessibility should be the default. Everyone will need some type of accessible accommodations, either temporarily or permanently, at some point in their life.

I feel seen.

Some happy news! Couldn't be happier for Mychal! @mychal3ts.bsky.social! www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Watched @netflix Painkiller about the Sacklers and those who participated & suffered at their thirst for $$$. Wow. If you thought you knew the story, buckle up. #opioid #Oxycontin #netflixpainkiller

👏 @anniehartnett.bsky.social audiobook for weaving poignant family drama with humor that sneaks up when you’re not expecting it. *Chef’s kiss for the alpaca scene, Annie.* Our world can be dark. Annie’s writing amplifies the light from the tiniest cracks.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

May Willie see the day our nation's farmers receive the support they deserve. Until then, kudos to him and his generous friends and family for the countless hours they set aside to host Farm Aid. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/b... @mauimom.bsky.social @willienelson.bsky.social @farmaid.org

Who just interviewed the amazing Jane Hamilton about her new book, The Phoebe Variations, coming out September 23rd? @writingtable.bsky.social

Writers, listen up: @writingtable.bsky.social

A less dedicated, inauthentic man would have quit long ago. Thank you, @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social, for everything you have done to preserve our health and well-being.

Sissie Klein unpacks complicated families and female friendships, a troubled marriage, with twists you won't see coming. This week, the e-book is only $2.99. Happy reading!
