So excited to follow my wonderful agent @jemiscoe.bsky.social on her new venture!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Let’s go girls

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

YES

E g. The food bank here in San Diego buys bulk quantities of rice for a fraction of supermarket costs and re-packages it themselves in consumer-sized packages for distribution. Your money there goes much, much further than an in-kind donation. (In kind donations and volunteering are still good tho!)

Wait, are we heisting? I've got a book for that! www.amazon.com/Jewel-Me-Twi...

And, I'm finally open again for queries!!!

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

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

Maybe the plagiarism machines use em-dashes because they stole copyrighted work from writers like me who freakin' love em-dashes and use them in all our books.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

ENCHANTED TO MEET YOU is publishing in the US with Harper Teen ☺️🥳 so exited to share it with more readers @jemiscoe.bsky.social

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

I am thrilled to announce my new book THE NIGHTMARE KEEPER. An adult dark paranormal romance set in an alternative Salem Massachusetts where magic and witches are commonplace, but some magics are still feared. 🌕🔮 Thanks to @jemiscoe.bsky.social My wonderful agent #paranormalromance #dealannouncment

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

🎢🎅🏼COVER REVEAL🏰🎄 I’m so excited to share the cover of A KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS coming out November 6 2025 Louisa Cannell did such an incredible illustration. All the little details are so prefect and I can’t wait for readers to step back inside this world!

We love to see it

Writing a novel right now feels like I'm doing it on the deck of the Titanic as a comet is headed to Earth and also I'm covered in fire ants. I'm sure it's fine. Just don't blame me if every fifth paragraph is something like WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IS ANYBODY EVEN READING THIS OH GOD

"I'm here despite his speech. I'm here, because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." Booker says about beating Strom Thurmond's record

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

THE meme of 2025 for me.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.
