Broke my hand. Thank God for audiobooks from Libby App #BookSky #audiobooks #amlistening

People with autism aren't broken toys to be "fixed." Respect & seeking to understand reputable science would be nice.

Reading the very dark & very vivid "Fox" by @joycecaroloates.bsky.social. The abuser's pov is so well-crafted and disturbing. Damn, it's terribly good. #booksky #books #fiction

Books are good!

Kash Patel has made our country less safe. He has put fealty to Trump over his sworn oath to the constitution.

Writing is amazing, but publishing is a different story. If you’re going to put yourself through publishing, make sure you write the stuff you love. Always.

Love lights dark days. Excited to share my flash fic via Zoom at the contributors' reading for "Star Crossed Vol 1: New Tales of Strange Love, Weird Romance, Polymorphous Passions & Feverish Fabulism" from @fabulistmag.bsky.social on 9/17 at 6 pm. PDT. Read the storieshttps://tinyurl.com/4ru4naaz

American school children, college students, and conservative pundits opposing gun law reform should not be victims of gun violence. Common-sense gun laws would help. My heart goes out to every family grieving a loved one lost to gun violence. #gunreform #schoolshootings #CharlieKirk

School supplies for my kid cost a lot more this year. Trump promised to lower the cost of living. Coffee is up 33 %. I'm a Gilmore Girls-level coffee drinker! @momsrising.org is gathering #Trumpflation stories. Do you have one? trumpflation.momsrising.org #MomSky

Finally listening to "The Three-Body Problem" for a spec fic book group I joined. Late to the party, but finding the audiobook thought-provoking. #BookSky #audiobooks #sciencefiction

Any strong leader would fight to release the files. Survivors have told the truth about Epstein & his friends for years.The response? Lies & cover-ups. Join @momsrising.org to demand the release of the Epstein files. #BelieveSurvivors action.momsrising.org/sign/release... #Epsteinfiles #believewomen

Book Rec: "Courage to Heal." 5 stars. Survivors everywhere feeling triggered by the hostility & denial targeted at the girls Epstein used & trafficked: I see you. #BookThreads #bookrecc #selfhelp #resilience #5starread #supportsurvivors

Wonderful day in the sun with family.

Getting excited for Salem Lit Fest next week. #BookSky #authors #reading #writingcommunity #boston

Cutting health services for pregnant veterans is cruel. A new Trump administration rule will cut access to abortions for veterans, even in cases of rape or incest. QUICK SIGNATURE: action.momsrising.org/sign/vetsrj via @momsrising.org #ReproductiveJustice #MaternalJustice

“Le Petit Prince, Cry the Beloved Country & Les Miserables” jump to mind…

Enjoying creepy demon possession tale “Come Closer,” the latest audiobook to inspire me while I finish my horror WIP… #BookSky #audiobooks

Quiet canoe ride on the Ipswich River is great for thinking up new story ideas. #nature #egret #canoeride

Libraries rule. A recent study published in the Journal of Cultural Economics examined what happened when a new library branch opened in Kansas City, Missouri. See @everylibrary.bsky.social #Booksky #libraries #budget

We stand with Stephen Colbert.

Yep.

We did indeed “make the right person famous” with this kind, talented, and bonus handsome actor! #pedropascal

🗣️ IBlack women who are working full-time, year-round are paid only 66 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. It’s time for Congress to take action to close the gap! action.momsrising.org/type/BWEPD2025

Had creative & family work to do. And when the luxurious opportunity came to choose peace, I did. open.substack.com/pub/patricia...

Started “Cracked Sky” after Ben Eads presented during a Zoom workshop. I’ve been crazy-busy, but ge pylls you tight inyo his characters’ strange grief & eerie question of a child lost between worlds. #Bookthreads #horror

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

Sign our letter telling your U.S. Senators to VOTE NO on the Republican Big Bad Betrayal Bill and instead prioritize families and our economy over billionaires. #MomsSky action.momsrising.org/sign/SenateR...

So anyway, fellow book nerds, just hearing my idol JCO read her story & then having her sign 3 books. No biggie. #Booksky #authors #stokercon

Lately the sad is huge and the anger is huge and both are constant, so please take care of yourself. Exercise. Read more. Work on your art. Talk to someone. Check on your friends. Remember your meds. Sit in the car and listen to the whole song. Celebrate the little wins.

Fiend had landed at #stokercon

Indeed #Writesky, art is crucial at this time!

Yeah sure, MAGA, Trump cares about public safety. #Jan6

The military has a Duty To Disobey too. Please share this for everyone. www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/l...

Does the US need immigration reform? Sure. Does the US need secret police who don’t identify themselves or heavily armed paramilitaries kidnapping teens & adults to for-profit prisons? No! #democracy
