In less life-or-death news, I'm 99% sure a raccoon stole one of my Venus Flytraps.

My #NoTearsBookFair setup is today for these kids who have nothing, and I refuse on the regular to let them cry because they can't afford a book. Well a lot of these kids started the day in tears already.

You may know of my #NoTearsBookFair that I run at the tiny elementary school in town, so small it doesn't even have a bus. Most ELL students in town, most low-income families in town. A strong Brazilian presence with lots of Brazilian-run businesses, churches, and community events.

THE WAR IS FUCKING ON AND I GET TO FIGHT IT WITH BOOKS. BEHOLD MY FOLLOWING POSTS.

Well, I had a dream that partially involved a dirty little mouse with a duck bill and clicky-clacky spider legs. Good morning.

I won’t ever say not to feel your feelings. But do something every day to make your brain WORK outside of terror and dread. Set a timer to read for 5 minutes. Name 5 things you feel physically and if you can’t, go find them. Google a random fact about a different culture

The Eric Carter books are also in audio www.graphicaudio.net/eric-carter-... tantor.com/author/steph...

Take a 10 minute break from *waves at world* and challenge your brain in a healthy way with a disturbing fun story.

Republicans know work requirements for Medicaid don’t work — and yet they want to expand them in this disastrous bill. Make it make sense.

The proper way to do FB is to ensure shit like this is how they associate you. Behold, my marketplace suggestion.

Oh hey I found the ugliest new shirt so if you want to freshen up your wardrobe and be THE ABSOLUTE WORST remember I tipped you off.

“Facing pressure to scrub its website of diversity and inclusion references, a Japanese American National Museum leader says the museum will ‘scrub nothing.’” 🔥

Boston Hands Off!!

If you’re questioning what a peaceful protest really accomplishes, think of this: 197 groups ORGANIZED the movement. Spoke loudly enough to make sure thousands and thousands of people stayed peaceful in a crowd. Organized. PLANNED. The storm isn’t just brewing, it’s arrived.

Respect those who ask what good a peaceful protest does. They want change, they want it now, and your answer could be why they do or do not show up at the next protest. Treat them as if they’re asking you why they should vote. And know there’s more happening behind that peace.

I’m so fucking proud of Boston and Plymouth today.

Things I just said include: “My hormones are a 10-headed Hydra.”

You can’t begin to know how badly I want this. www.facebook.com/share/12HAJX...

In one month, THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS appears. If you want to preorder for some exclusive stuff and you wanna stick it to AMZN, my hometown store @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social is running preorders. Creepy stickers and a weird personalization is all yours. Walk up the staircase, won't you?

Omfg I had a dream he was kicked out of office and now…

yes

Good morning. I saw this shirt at Marshall’s yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about it.

My friend owns this.

Targeted ads just get me.

Good morning. State Police just found a human skull in the woods near my house. Enjoy your Friday.

I edited these books and they transport you.

@jlizhill.bsky.social pssssst

Goddamn I am accomplished already today. I made a pen name. I put on laundry. I WROTE. I planned my day. I watered all my plants and really was present with it. I rule. You rule too. Be amazing today.

Hey so I got this mandarin plant over 3 years ago and just now thought I’d replant it? YEAH IT IS A TREE

For real. We’re still poking around but this would be for a small press.

OK. I am committed. I’m here, I will make a point to be here because it seems like all my favorites are.

Thought it was Wednesday for a solid half hour. Ready to bring the trash around, don’t know where I thought my work meeting or Tuesday doc appt went. So this week is a banger already.

Husband: why are you reorganising the whole house? Me: because I have a month to finish my novel.

@davidjonfuller.bsky.social bahahaha I'm here so often I didn't even know I wasn't following you. I think of you all the time. You're the reason I own a Tim Horton's coffee mug.

You'll know this about me: I stand by my friends and I don't shy away from a fight, and I goddamn well help people who need help--and I believe in people that do the same.

@chuckwendig.bsky.social bahahaha why would you follow me hahaha

And now for me to throw my unrequested bitchery into the mix on this you-stole-my-idea and Chuck Wendig-is-a-monster bullshit. And it's pretty simple.

RIGHT AWAY I'm gonna mouth the hell off in general upset, setting the tone for I don't even know what.

Look at me, showing up on Bluesky like it's something to do.

Hey! I hope all your holidays were and will be stunningly beautiful and relaxing.

So today my tortoise told me he wants a soft bed by shitting in my slipper. I’ve been saying I need to get him one for some time. Now that I can either walk in shit or have cold feet, it’s speeding up the process

I tried to make kickass brownies with my monster Nordicware and failed spectacularly. So graveyards it is.

HEY I AM POSTING!!!
