Yesterday was chapter proof day!

“The unifying theme here is that the federal government has been taken over by bad people who are also stunningly ignorant. So much damage—to U.S. credibility, the Constitution and the rule of law, and possibly even to the very functioning of the government. And Trump only took power 2 weeks ago.”

If I just read one million more posts tonight, I will have complete control over what comes next

How To Be a Writer, #111: Open laptop Look into the void Scream into the void Consider that maybe the void also sometimes feels this way about you Ask the void if it takes milk Choose a nice mug for the void And maybe a chocolate biscuit Lose yourself in the void Tea

Reminded of and crying about the fact that Rev. Budde is also the person who provided Matthew Shepard's family with a safe haven for their son's remains. This is the person these fascists trying to brand themselves as Christians are targeting with hate, right now. www.npr.org/2018/10/26/6....

Hey, if you have cats, here's a great life hack: Put down your phone, go to your bed and lie down, and just let the cats pile around or on top of you (if they're aloof, a heated blanket will make them come over) and just lie there while they purr. That's how you touch grass in winter.

My "favorite" this morning was any government official whose title is DEI Officer will be fired immediately. There are going to be a lot of new business cards by the end of the day for Person Who Sits In That Desk Over There...No Reason. Anyway...can I interest you in some bread? Circuses?

2025 so far. Finished the five Ripley novels, starting Billy Porter #52BookClub #BookTalk

I used to teach this poem to my high school seniors...

I like to just imagine a very gay teen in the far off future writing an AP exam about all this and being like “well that was weird” and then going to their cool normal safe life

Hey LA, Chevalier’s Books on Larchmont is taking donations of kids/MG/YA books for kids affected by the fires.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

It's January 20th, the celebration of MLK Jr., and something else I'm pretending to forget about. And this came along:
