Hi all! Social media is like screaming into the void, something I know a lot of you feel. No matter what I try, my reach shrinks. Hopefully, a break will make my brain magically click on this marketing thing. Street Team, cover reveal, and ARC allocating will remain open. All lynx in my bye-oh.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Is a worksheet every night for kindergarteners considered reasonable these days?

I'm seeing some really interesting discourse on signing up for protests. (Personally it's never made sense to me to sign up for a free, public, outdoor event even BEFORE security became an issue) But my genuine question is--how do we safely yet effectively communicate with people?

Again, I'm just describing the situation. If we want to transform it, there's pretty much only one thing for converts to do: shut the fuck up and listen. But even that might be too much to ask.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

So excited to chat with Katherine Grant on Historical romance Sampler about Book banning, censorship, and growing up in a cult! youtube.com/shorts/MH2bh...

Honestly I think the problem (and someone is gonna read me say this and call me a gatekeeper or whatever, but you know...) that a lot of people are skipping the part where we work on craft. :/ I love this job but it is still a job and I have learned so much over the years!

Brb just crying over here. My lifelong best friend (I've known her since I was 9) texted me tonight about my 7yo son (purple) and her 7yo son (blue). Parenting is hard and I second guess myself all the time but this part? Such joy.

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

Lemme just put this right here...

They didn't just expel people to El Salvador. They sent people to CECOT where they are imprisoned without trial or sentence and may never be released. They have admitted in filings in the Abrego Garcia case that they can't provide due process. Utterly despicable. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

On the Backs of Elephants tells of the Trung Sisters rebellion in ancient Vietnam where women banded together to stand up and fight for freedom while old nobility bickered & chose a policy of appeasement hoping they could just quietly return to previous levels of subjugation and I feel this today

I would dearly love a lawyer who's read Texas v Bacerra to take a look at this press release update and tell me if it makes any logical sense. I can tell already its emotional and unprofessional arkansasag.gov/news-release...

"I'm not trying to make a political post. Everyone please be nice," says the woman in the Women's Networking group as she shares she's about to lose her job due to NIH funding slashes and doesn't know where else to go for work.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Okay which government agency takeover am I calling my reps about today?

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Every choice made me 👏👏 what a romance 101 syllabus (And @erin-langston.bsky.social!)

My mother: “The Czar thinks he is in charge, but Rasputin is running the country.”

S Korean politicians was climbing walls. We are the saddest excuse for a fucking country

I would really really like to know exactly how these transfers are happening. I know lots of officials have been fired and one Inspector General had to be escorted from the building. Are there guns involved? Are people not able to delete stuff before fired? Like, why is this sort of seamless?

It is fucking wild to review the emails in my inbox right now: -Next steps for Spring Soccer, ages 5-7 -Authors Against Book Bans - Chapter Next Steps -re: meeting with representative -BookBub new release alert -Choir handbell practice dates -Passport apptmt confirmation -Indivisible against fascism

Spinning Our Dreams: Scandalous Daughters of Duke Street PREORDER: a.co/d/hHsyCup

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Signal-boosting:

Let’s talk about resistance after a conqueror takes power. Specifically let’s talk about this bendy yellow building, and what it shows us about the moment the Florentine Republic finally fell to its kleptocratic/proto-capitalist banking-fortune Medici conquerors 1/?

Here's what I'm going to do today to fight fascism: -ignore the "Gulf of America" nonsense because that's distraction to get us angry and tired sooner -call* my reps, complain about the salute -also complain about what Trump said about PA votes -draft my upcoming newsletter to be clear where I stand
