Beth’s part of my SIL’s family & former #library director who’s now facing serious ALS complications. This pays for her urgent medical transport & care. Right now things aren’t looking great so all help appreciated 💙 gofund.me/09ee48671

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

Happy birthday and #Caturday to Khaleesi! 11 years old 🥳🎂🎉🎁🎊

It’s a funny shot across the bow at the current CBS overlords that Colbert made it explicit that McCartney is part of the history of the Ed Sullivan Theatre and of the Tiffany network by having -him- turn out the lights on a whole era of American tv

The AG has not prosecuted anyone in the Epstein class. The AG has given Trump & his family indefinite immunity. The AG has set up a slush fund to pay off Trump's criminal allies. Enough is enough. When Democrats are in charge, we will stand up against two tiers of justice.

Teeny dinosaurs!

The final installment of MINOR ATROCITIES is live on Substack. The last chapter is called "It Ends With Me" This is what breaking generational trauma looks like from the inside.  #CPTSD  #BreakTheCycle  #Substack  #Memoir

A West African friend told me: We need to include those with whom we are uncomfortable. Wrestling with forgiveness isn't comfort. It's swimming out to meet the wave — the big one. This was the chapter where I finally get back on my feet. #Forgiveness #Memoir #HealingJourney #CPTSD #CSA

What can I tell you? She took one look at the news.... Oh well, try to have a happy #Caturday

Lost my apartment, money, people I thought would stay. New chapter up: "The Money Ends." On bottoming out, the clarity and bleakness of the Mojave, epigenetics, and learning to stop needing to know why. dianesherlock.substack.com/p/the-money-... #TraumaMemoir #Forgiveness #MemoirWriting

Sometimes you don't know what happened to you until years later. Next chapter up explores what it meant to watch the Cosby trial — and suddenly recognize something I'd buried for years. An acquaintance. A drink. #MeToo #TraumaMemoir #Survivors dianesherlock.substack.com/p/metoo?r=5v...

If you're outraged by the Alabama House Speaker's call for overturning the Fourteenth Amendment and want to know more, give Kyle a follow.

Guess I’m watching a couple videos instead of typing for a bit. Happy #Caturday!

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “They assume my ambition is a title — my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, single payer is forever. A living wage is forever.”

In public restroom of a medical bldg. Guess it’s safe since it’s not sea shells! 😂

This is a really important thread. Defending criminal charges is insanely expensive and that’s one reason why Trump keeps charging people he hates, even if the charges are eventually dismissed. In some of the pro bono cases I handled, costs— COSTS— like OCR for documents to make them searchable,

Reread my dead mother's letter to my abuser. My abuse is listed in between his "pot smoking" and truancy. Just another in a list of his choices she didn't approve of.

What Prozac first gave me, then took away, a calico and microdosing eventually gave back. This is the chapter about Khaleesi, foster fail, Rx side effects, and finding your footing by unconventional means. New chapter from MINOR ATROCITIES is up on Substack open.substack.com/pub/dianeshe...

Miss me with any of the "when did we become a country that looks the other way when innocent children..." Any of us w CSA in our background can tell you that we always were, but it's finally coming to light despite massive efforts to keep it hidden.

Unfortunately, very few outlets decided to cover the story. Investigative journalist Vicky Ward joined me earlier this week to share how her Epstein exposé was spiked in 2003 by Vanity Fair. [WHY DID VANITY FAIR DITCH THIS STORY IN 2003?] thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

My money's on the Southsider over the con from Queens www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The supervisor is in. #Caturday

Happy May Day, Beltane, and Int'l Workers' Day. Join a protest, dance around a Maypole, piss off a fascist - your choice. Joy is resistance.

For it is May Day and the blood of the land is felt much closer to its green surface. The pulse of place cannot be denied and nor can the invitation to dance with its wild spirits. - #CLNolan #MayDay #Beltane

In solidarity with my fellow Americans, I will not be posting content or doing other work today. May Day is a day of action against the tyranny of the billionaires and the Trump regime: No work, No School, No Shopping. maydaystrong.org

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court gutted a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling paves the way for Republicans to redraw congressional maps, potentially greenlighting racial discrimination & weakening the political power of Black & brown communities in the US. zeteo.com/p/supreme-co...

Can we please skip ahead to the good part where we sleep through the night again...

Judge M. Marc Kelly. Public record. 2015. Violated Jessica's Law I was attacked at 3 & wrote him a letter about the lifelong damage. He never responded. The recall effort failed. He's still on the bench. New ch. from MINOR ATROCITIES: shorturl.at/SHehe #booksky #litsky #writingcommunity #memoir

When I learned the truth, there was a blood moon that eve. His birthday, too. What came next was devastation. What got me through that night was a good friend, a breath, and comedy. New chapter up in MINOR ATROCITIES dianesherlock.substack.com/p/aftermath

Khaleesi loves our new red bulb. Happy Caturday!

Jadarian Price in the 1st round to Seattle. So happy for him. Another great kid. ND is going crazy tonight!

Hmmm we'll see. Akeem Mesidor to the Chargers at 22

Okay, Chargers, what are you going to do here? #BoltUp

Woohoo! Cardinals are lucky. Jeremiyah Love is amazing. 3rd pick is a Notre Dame guy. #NFLDraft

Forgot to post this year’s Easter egg tree! 😳

What if she'd fought back? What if she'd slipped out the window instead? This chapter gives a three-year-old two chances she never got. The imagination does what freeze couldn't. "Fight or Flight" — chapter 46 of MINOR ATROCITIES is up dianesherlock.substack.com/p/fight-or-f...

My therapist at the time didn't administer EMDR correctly & I left the office dyregulated, which proved disastrous. We'd uncovered a betrayal by my mother so fundamental, it changed the shape of everything I thought I knew. New chapter. It's a heavy one. dianesherlock.substack.com/p/betrayal?r...

She’s a snuggly baby this #Caturday morning

Robin Williams was my anchor through the darkest water. When he died, I had to face what I'd been white-knuckling alone. It had a name: dysthymia. Every. Single. Symptom. Not flaws. Chemistry. That changed everything. 🖤 Ch 44, "A Diagnosis" dianesherlock.substack.com/p/a-diagnosi...

Listen, if Gallego is releasing his texts, I want the texts of Republican Senators and Members who hung out socially with Trump and Gonzales and other Republicans accused of predatory sexual behavior. Let's have full transparency across the board. Clean House, baby!

Excellent news.

Imagine being the Pope and having the seven deadly sins in human form out here saying he hates you. Congrats Pope Leo.

Still hasn’t resigned, huh? Whole House staff quit. Whole campaign staff quit. Sent out a press release en masse supporting the woman they know who he raped. Cease and desist letters sent to rape victims by text message in the middle of the night. 23 known victims. THE HUBRIS OF IT.

MINOR ATROCITIES, Ch 43 "Unveilings," is up open.substack.com/pub/dianeshe... Some memories don't announce themselves. They wait for the right pair of eyes. #Memoir #Grief #Trauma #Memory #Healing

Happy Caturday from someone who is about to be taken back to the vet for a recheck. eek!

TWENTY-THREE WOMEN AND COUNTING. Eric Swalwell must resign.
