Do readers like blank section dividers or fancy-schmancy? #booksky #readersky #writersky

Just finished this piece of excellence! Tana French's The Likeness #booksky #readersky

My ISBNs are assigned! Starting to feel real (but still aiming for June 1st publication date). #writersky #booksky

Hey authors, do you have separate Goodreads accounts for your personal use and professional use? TIA for any advice! #authorsky #writersky #booksky

Good timezone to you! Hope everyone can find a few minutes for #creativity today. My goal is to spend ten minutes between clients brainstorming a new author bio. What about you? #writersky #readersky #booksky

Would I let someone with POCD near my kids? This is a question I get as a clinical psychologist who specializes in OCD. Spoiler alert: of course I would! Pedophilia OCD is a completely different animal than Pedophilia. #ocd #mentalhealth #pocd #pedophilia youtube.com/shorts/BMrtX...

I'm looking at this coming summer to release my first novel! #writersky #booksky

TikTok viewers seem very interested in my content on #POCD (pedophilia #OCD). Who knew!? Even with wonky sound, 148K vs. about 500 for my other videos. #mentalhealth www.tiktok.com/@juliekinn

My college kid just shared this podcast ep with me (Alok Vaid-Menon: The Urgent Need for Compassion on The Man Enough Podcast). Just gold. Please listen and share. open.spotify.com/episode/1Sov... #LGBTQ #trans #nonbinary

I finally put together the DBT course I wish I’d had starting out — clear, practical, and no jargon. Perfect for anyone who wants to feel confident using or teaching #DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills. www.udemy.com/course/learn...

Our #dog Prudence is the essence of grace and athleticism 😍 I always start my #DBT Skills Group orientation with the ice breaker, "what's one thing you enjoy doing even though you don't do it well?" Maybe I'll show this video next time! #resilience

#DBT Skills Groups are such a fun way to learn emotional regulation… I think of it as a buffet where you try a little bit of everything and then see what works best for you. Check out www.juliekinn.com/online-dbt-s... to learn more! #mentalhealth #grouptherapy

So excited for a new #DBT Skills group I'll be leading online starting this September! #mentalhealth

What have been your favorite aspects of #DBT Skills Groups you've been in? #mentalhealth

Seeking #books (fiction or non-fiction), podcasts, and #documentaries about the post-Soviet #Jewish experience. TY! #readersky #booksky #moviesky

Current read: Baker of Lost Memories by Wachtel #booksky #readily

My teen driving me to school while we discuss the themes of love and free will in #AttackOnTitan is such a happy reminder of why I made humans. #parenting

Love the ear on this #sourdough, but looking for ways to improve the oven spring (suggestions welcome!). Going to make some great paninis with whatever we don't finish from this baby. High hydration with rye and chia seeds. Now feeling weird about calling it a baby. Words mean things, Julie!

The view from above when I'm baking. #dogsofbluesky

Prudence is a very good #dog with a very good tail. #dogsofbluesky

Rare picture of me doing stand-up #comedy in OIympia about 10 years ago. Loved those days, but couldn't do the late nights for long! What's something you've done to push yourself?

for my wedding anniversary I usually give my partner a gift of service for the year, like I'll pick up all the dog poop on our walks, I'll set up the coffee each evening, or I'll fill their gas tank once a week. We are celebrating 20 years next month. Any good ideas?

Still loving #justified, but consistently irked by how no one applies compression after gunshot wounds. Also, it's really bringing out my Indiana accent.

Hey #tv producers: I will watch anything with Margo Martindale.

Enjoying my current read, The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris. Harris is so good at gently building tension while also nurturing her characters' development. #booksky #readersky

Chag sameach y'all! Let me know if you'd like the recipes for vanilla and chocolate coconut macaroons. Gluten free and #passover perfection. #baking

What gets you to stop reading a book? For me, it's hurt #dogs, dogs in jeopardy of being hurt, dogs being deprived of treats and ear rubs, not enough dogs. You get the idea. #booksky #readersky

Books should come with a Spotify playlist of music to set the tone. #booksky #readersky #music

Thoughts on #Justified: Raylan Givens has shootouts inside instead of outside as a Harlan County stimulus plan to support local contractors and drywall installers.

Once again gave myself bangs. When will I learn? Going to a salon later for a fix. I said to my teens, "maybe I should cancel and try to fix it myself first." Their objections were loud and for the first time in months they were united against a common foe. #fashion #hair

Hey #booksky and #readersky lovelies! ISO #book recommendations that meet these requests: - Happy ending - Compelling dialogue - Well written - Dogs and excessive food descriptions are a bonus Any genre. Thanks so much you well-read, wonderous humans!

When you're not feeling well and just need to sit on Mom's lap. #dog ##dogsofbluesky

Downside of investing in a #nespresso #coffee set-up is that I need to learn how to drink my lattes more slowly. Perhaps they could sell pods that are 20% less delicious.

Me: "Look! I'm not wearing leggings today." Teenager: "Oh, a skirt! I love it." Then, under their breath, "Too bad you're wearing it with that sweater." #fashion #parenting

This time with sound! youtube.com/shorts/t-lnd...

Consider your five senses to help with sleep improvement! Another great technique from #CBTi (Cognitive Behavioral #therapy for #insomnia). #sleep #psychology #mentalhealth youtube.com/shorts/Gl8RU...

Anxiety is like a Barking Dog 60 seconds on how this metaphor explains an underlying principle of Exposure with Response Prevention (#CBT with #ERP), the gold standard treatment for #anxiety and #OCD. #mentalhealth #therapy #psychology www.youtube.com/shorts/fGS6a...

More #Hannibal thoughts: I'm only on season 2, but I love how rape and sexual assault haven't been plot devices at all. #tv

How to Use a Bed for Better Sleep (Really!) Simple CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for #Insomnia) tips for how to use your bed to get better #sleep. I know, seems obvious, but worth discussing! #mentalhealth #cbti #cbt www.youtube.com/shorts/xwXwk...

Watching the #tv series #Hannibal and am consistently struck by Hannibal's amazing time management skills. Full time psychiatrist, serial killer, *and* makes his own cheese?

Also, happy to share #recipe if anyone wants... it's vegetarian and fantastic.

While teaching my 18-year-old my chili recipe I remind them, "when serving to #Americans, always have sour cream. For some reason Americans expect sour cream with chili." This led to questions. Why is it? What is it about sour cream? #cooking #america

I carry #Narcan (#Naloxone) in my purse for helping with #opioid overdose (heroin, fentanyl, oxy, etc.). My family knows I always have it on me, and recently my youngest teen was able to come grab it in an emergency to help a stranger. So easy. youtube.com/shorts/UPJZ1...

Improve friendships and partnerships by demonstrating curiosity. Here's how in 60 seconds! #relationships #mentalhealth #romance #friendship www.youtube.com/shorts/pjsOb...

Was nervous about trolls when I started posting, but wasn't prepared for the solid goodness that is #Bluesky and folks like @isalesingles.bsky.social. I'm forcing my teens to look at this post later tonight. "See? Mom is on fleek!"* *I deliberately misuse old slang for annoyance purposes.

Reduce your #spending with the power of data! I didn't mention in the video, but food I buy at the grocery store doesn't count toward "food." Wish there was a workaround for #crafts and supplies! What works for you? #data #mentalhealth #money youtube.com/shorts/hZNrM...
