Today’s news of a shooting in Grand Blanc, Michigan attacking the Latter-day Saints community during worship is devastating. Families deserve safety wherever they are, but being targeted while practicing one’s faith is especially horrific.

Another horrific shooting at a church right after we lost the children in Minnesota. A place of worship should be a refuge, not a site of violence and fear. My heart is with the victims, their families, and all those impacted. We must end this cycle of senseless gun violence.

I always encourage defrauded writers to report the fraud as widely as possible (there are resources for doing so in the Legal Recourse section of the WB website)--but scammers always try to stay a step ahead (as if there weren't already enough to worry about) www.zdnet.com/article/scam...

I teach 7-8 year olds. I will look out for them.

It’s the guns. Police told my mother that after she found my sister. It’s the guns.

It doesn’t matter what faith. These attacks against ppl of faith-Jewish, Catholic, and other churches, being sites of gun violence in a cot that continues to go on about their 2nd Amendment rights.

And then the fire. How evil and horrific.

Ok, I’m LDS. Went to church today. I often sit in the foyer next to chapel doors. I know many, including those with young children, sit there on the couch and chair. Just today a 8 year old was sitting next to me. My point is, I fear some might have been hit with car and/or shot

10 in critical condition. 1 dead. They said they don’t know if other bodies

So far news says a 40 yr old man rammed through the LDS church and fired at the packed congregation. Then he ran out and set building on fire.

Omg on a book I just read that is so Freaking Awesome and coming out soon by @readlandmark.bsky.social The Mad Wife

Jen and I are keeping Grand Blanc in our hearts today. Churches must always be places of safety and strength — an attack harming one community of faith is an attack on us all. California stands with Michigan and the Latter-day Saints community.

Reading terrible comments. Gun violence is horrific and it doesn’t matter where it happens. Speaking as someone who lost her sister to gun violence.

Horrific news out of Michigan. Shooter down. Shooting at LDS church. Not more known except church on fire.

Just found out LDS president Nelson has died. He was 101 years old

Some of the flowers today were looking a little bloody. Most coreopsis flowers in the wildflower garden are yellow with a touch of red in the center, but these two are covered in streaks of red.

I matched in ERA rallies as a teen/YA. Church members told me it was evil. That women were supposed to be mothers in Zion. Anything else was wrong.

I can’t believe how much RAGE I felt seeing that stand earlier today. I’ve always hated hypocrisy but what he stood for wasn’t what Christ taught. He even once said he didn’t believe in empathy. My rage also was seeing white women at that stand, purchasing t-shirts.

I’ll be doing this next month

Angers me so much.

So this is by local HS

Of course also all my pets would be there too.

My vision of heaven is sunflowers

Those British flapjacks look like granola bars?

Meteorologist Ross Ellet reported **1.223 BILLION** birds were in flight last night as part of the annual migration. That is apparently the largest surge of the year and they are flying across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Ross says TURN OFF EXTERIOR LIGHTS AT NIGHT so the birds don't get lost.

I’m getting a facial. A treat.

Greek baklava was AMAZING. Honey and rose syrup with pistachio topping.

Ugh. I don’t understand why I can’t sent a kindle ebook to a Canadian winner. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I’m confused on @bookfunnel.bsky.social way to do this.

Many of the same flowers in the wildflower garden lately as the growing season here nears its end.

This one starts… is both gripping and thought-provoking. A reword on my book blurb follows. Then…what struck me… Then the pitch.. I work with a community… authors ‘tip’ them…**Seriously? We tip readers to read our books? I’m also a reviewer and I never get paid or tipped.

Wow, another scammer on my website. As someone trained to stop those who game testing, these emails have similar tones and I bet they use a template.

I admit in my 65 years I’ve never felt this amount of fear on what’s happening right now

Evil man who delights in the torture, pain of his people.

Omg on recent news that ICE has detained Iowa superintendent

Then that same man tried to tell me his apple vinegar would basically cure my diabetes. Yeah, I told him what i thought on that.

My great grandfather was a snake’s salesman who claimed his mineral water cured everything.

At farmers market this guy going on about the benefits of apple vinegar that include gut health, lowering BP, lowering A1C, and even helping with men’s s*xual issues. Me, “And it cures cancer. Why stop there?”
