Gonna delete hinge and create a whole new profile modeled after the men who like me to see how they like it. Starting with 6 photos of me in a t-shirt frowning down at the camea "The best way to ask me out... is to ask me lol" "Make sure we're on the same page about ... pineapple on pizza 🤣😂"

Rescheduled from late November! I hope you can join us for this roundup of the type of writing tips that can take you from no to yes! www.eventbrite.com/e/10-tips-to...

This was such a good tournament performance. The way people laughed at their coach for saying they might actually win against Nebraska... to national champs. It's so good. They did not let their foot off the gas once

A Dem senator pressed Trump's FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, on the agency's independence at a hearing today, noting it says "independent" right on the FCC website. Minutes later, with the hearing still going on, the website updated. The word "independent" was gone. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Did you know I wrote a Hanukkah/Christmas romance (yes, it's both)? I did! It's under a different pen name because I don't usually write contemporary rom coms, but you can get it for $2.99 on your ereading platform of choice! www.caitlinrozakis.com/as-catherine...

Writing books is work. Authors write books. Authors are people who live under capitalism. Capitalism requires people to make money to live. Authors need money to live and they do WORK. "Capitalism is evil so you should pirate books" isn't the "activism" you pretend it is.

‼️BREAKING: Our discharge petition has enough signatures. Speaker Johnson is now FORCED to bring a vote to the House floor to extend ACA tax credits. This can’t wait. Call your Member of Congress. We must vote NOW to protect healthcare.

You are not out of ideas. They just want you to think you are. We are made of ideas. They’re made of plagiarism.

I see y'all out there wearing super cute jumpsuits - where are you finding them? All the ones I find are black or business-y

Query my agent. They are great! Especially if you are neurodiverse and want straight talk and dont want to worry about small talk, just get right to the point

My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are: - an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or @kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN - mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️‍🌈 or ♿️ rep

48 years. That's how long trans women have been eligible to compete in tennis.

4 years ago today, I got my offer of pub for CRIP UP THE KITCHEN. 3 years ago today, it went to the printer (1 year is an extremely rushed production cycle for a cookbook oof). Today is the perfect day to buy it for yourself or the disabled people in your life! julessherred.com/crip-up-the-...

I'm offering this class for the first time ever on Sunday! Please share with anyone who might find it helpful www.eventbrite.com/e/1975356027...

"The Grand Rapids Area Library [MN] will be open three days a week in 2026, after budget cuts forced a significant reduction in staff time." That's a cut of 15 hours a week. It'll be open M-W, 10:30-5:30. That's it. www.kaxe.org/local-news/2...

I dont know if it was my first one but i did get a request 15 years ago. That book was so bad....

I think that there is no one who understands practical mechanics and dynamics as much as a woman who lives on her own. The furniture we can move by ourselves is miraculous

I have to figure out a way to do query critiques where it doesnt take me 3-5 hours to do one.

Look I can absolutely conceive of a world where automated transcription works and provides a valuable service to doctors, patients, and caregivers. That isn't the world we are living in though. This world of AI bots is a privacy nightmare. Stop using them. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The end of TRAVELERS has me effed up. I'm honestly depressed.

Tell me if I'm wrong... I have been going to some political meetings and decided to officially sign up for the local dems group. The 2nd step after filling out the form is to come to an orientation that is hosted once a month at the same time/day each month. Party of working folks where? (Cont)

The report an offer feature on query manager should only be used to report an offer of rep or pub It should not be used to report a full request (esp for agents who say don't contact them for requests) This has been happening a lot lately, so if someone is telling you to do this, don't listen

@librarianjones.com @sarahnfisk.bsky.social some local to me coverage of the doc!!! (For people seeing this, Amanda and I have the same agent, who is Sarah)

Hooray! @authorsabb.bsky.social is *OFFICIALLY* a nonprofit, and is now open for donations! For the last two years we've been doing all this w free tools, or paying out of pocket, & we were STILL able to get SO MUCH DONE. Imagine what we could do with $$$ www.authorsagainstbookbans.com/donate/

I know it's really about control, but the way these evil monsters talk about banning books to save the children out of one side of their mouths, and downplay an actual pedophile out of the other is rage inducing

Was about to congratulate myself for taking a whole day off work, but then realized I spent three hours reading queries today... I need to be better at this taking time off thing

I've responded to all queries sent on or before 8/2. As always, still working on fulls sent before then.

Roger Ebert has named @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social (featuring @librarianjones.com and @sassylibrarian.bsky.social) one of the best documentaries of 2025! www.rogerebert.com/collections/...

Here the story about my ban and why conflating HRT with GAHT is anti-trans and harmful

When leftists in florida smugly say "that's why I'm a registered independent" I only say "because you don't want a say in who the florida dems run?"

Imagine being a retiring senator and your swan song, your big move, the one thing you do cuz you can't be punished for it is.... to make Healthcare even more unaffordable.

Am reading EXORDIA by Seth Dickinson and came across this quote ripe for the moment: "only weasels play trolley games. Heroes jump down there and start pulling people off the tracks. Heroes pass laws regulating better trolley brakes. That’s how you make a society."

Emailed and called @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov asking thrm not to cave. Also left a msg for @schumer.senate.gov saying that if this deal goes through, any money I would’ve given to Senate Dems will go instead to primary opponents of the people who caved.

Official statement from @jamestalarico.bsky.social on shutdown negotiations

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

This is fucking bone-chilling

Folks who grew up in one place their whole childhood: do you get asked "did you like staying in one place?" Or does this only get asked of people who moved around a lot. Cuz I always want to be like: how would I know? I never knew anything different. It's the way it was.

Proof for @geekyjules.julessherred.com that I made it. Though now I may live here because surprise surprise a guy is being a creep and I don't want to walk out alone

Men on dating apps, if they read, only read old scifi by white men. And I dont know how to respond with anything other than "ugh"

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

And the sheriff, da, & more! This is huge!!

Democrats Just Broke the GOP super-majority in the Mississippi Senate👏💙 #Mississippi #Democrats

15 (!!) years ago, I got my first query rejection

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

🚨 WNDB is committed to providing emergency grants to diverse authors & illustrators, publishing professionals, and educators experiencing dire financial need due to loss of SNAP benefits. We are now open for a new round of emergency grants, between $250 and $1,000 each. 💻 bit.ly/WNDB-emergency

There are some big, consequential elections happening this week. Ours is smaller but small, local elections are incredibly important when state government is 🗑

This is just reporting. This is what headlines in the New York Times and your local paper should look like every day. The New Yorker should be publishing stuff like this, only with an umlaut thrown in occasionally for some fucken reason.

Also - tomorrow! In London! Where I currently am but am not very often!
