If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Remember when "chick lit" was a bad word? I loved it then and I am still a fan of well-written women's fiction with happy endings and a bit of romance. No shame. #booksky #amreading #substack #chicklit #womensfiction #books anikafajardo.substack.com/p/reading-un...

Before I was a writer, I was a librarian. Public and academic. Reference, instruction, storytime, web dev. I selected books, weeded books, and barcoded books. I processed magazines and helped seniors learn to use a mouse. I used dewey & LC and ran social media. #librarian #libraries #savelibraries

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

If you look closely, you can see that this bald eagle perched above my house has a rabbit dangling from its talons. What is this a metaphor for? #nature #baldeagle #metaphors

Loved this book so much #amreading #booksky #fiction #novel

If you hear something, don't ignore it. Look around. You might see it.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Happy #caturday

Whatcha lookin at

Good tips here. All of them. Only thing I'd add is also to PRE-order their books (Mine is at www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ma...)

I wrote about #libraries and #books and #art this week. And as a former librarian, I had to write a book rec list. What is a book you'd recommend for living in these times? anikafajardo.substack.com/p/thinking-a...

ONE parent. And in Florida, ONE man is responsible for 40% of all book challenges in the state. The book banners are a tiny minority. Make that clear by speaking up in favor of the freedom to read. (Email your school board!)

Trying to find small moments of joy like the first spring day you finally get to sit in the open window and smell the smells

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.

The stakes are just too high.

Made coffee at home, went to the library, listened to the radio, pet the cat, cooking dinner #economicblackout

Harry is not particularly impressed with the arc of my debut novel. But he sleeps on a dusty suitcase under the bed, so he might not be the tastemaker he thinks he is #fiction #orangetabby

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

ARCs of my debut novel arrived and they’re gorgeous so that’s a nice Monday. Pre-order www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ma... #debutfiction #booksky #reading

The most horrifying slide from today’s National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) organization grant webinar, imo

I can’t even tell you how excited I am to be able to share the cover of my debut novel. It’s been my lifelong dream to write the kind of book I love to read. There’s a journey, some introspection, and a love story bit.ly/ManyMothersO... #booksky #novels #reading #writing

My grandfather used to send me a Valentine card (usually Snoopy) every year with a crisp five dollar bill. Today is as good a day as any to remember absent loved ones and small acts of kindness.

He’s just as outraged as you are #orangetabby

My dear friend Fred Amram wrote this touching memoir about leaving WWII Germany as a baby and making a new life with his parents as the only surviving members of his family. Miss him a lot #holocaustrememberance #jewish #friends #writers #memoir #booksky

Have you read this? So charming and sweet. I'm reading as an antidote to our times and this one fits the bill #booksky #amreading #novel #fiction #optimism
