There will be more info about #WSPit dropping this week! I'm working on a couple different things for this year. But, the biggest thing, it's happening & is open to any stage of writing from WIP to published. It's to celebrate our books & pitch what we've been sharing from all year. #WIPSnips

The only thing I'm surprised about is that these data are still being allowed to get out!!! :(

Pray for me y'all... I'm doing my publishing company's tax return today, while also coming down to "the wire" for a book launch in a few weeks! My next post might be from a psych ward!!! Maybe a "virtual" after-party?! #amwriting #AmWritingSciFi #fictionwritingcommunity

Time! I need more than 24 hours in the day. The book that preceded this was really fun. This one sounds even more-so. Gotta get it!

WOW! Yea... Wheel of Time. Funny, but I just suggested this series to a BlueSky author friend yesterday. On my way to sign that petition!!! C'mon y'all!

Welfare fraud should always be taken seriously, but the right’s characterization of it as an immigrant problem is completely off-base — US citizens account for 95% of fraud losses. cc: @cato.org

This is what oligarchy looks like: Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump. Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

I just visited Liam and his father. I also met with countless more children and families who have done nothing wrong and should not be detained. My full update on visiting the Dilley detention center: youtu.be/j9FcMwyWN2I?...

This new release looks SO interesting! Just finished the book before this, and it was seriously great. Perfect mix of tension, emotions, believable characters, with plenty of magical realism, but not overdone!

Bull’s eye and with excellent replies

Fact-check: “ICE officers (off camera) literally says, "It's like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?"” ICE officers wouldn’t be standing, without masks, next to citizens. The comment would be muffled. That was a citizen mocking them. Watch the video for yourself. Thank you Nikki for sharing.

Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Oh! The Great Orange One might want to think about who he's messin' with! (BTW, my grama was half Icelandic and half Viking/Scottish.) LOL! #boost #Iceland

You’ve got a few days left to get your annual National Parks pass without Trump’s face on it.

Our broken child care system can learn a lot from New Mexico - the state that is leading the way in guaranteeing free child care for all. There is no better rate of return than investing in our children. The rest of the country should follow New Mexico’s lead.

@mcuban.bsky.social There is a simple plan. ~1/3 NHE is 45-64yo. Lower Medicare to age 45yo over 5 years by increasing income taxes on the top 10% incomes. Someone making $300k would pay ~$6k per year extra tax. #M4A

The Devil's Kitchen at Caesars Head, SC, is a narrow, 200' deep crevice in the mountain (granitic gneiss rock). Folklore claims the Devil created the tight passage, often filled with icy cold air, while making a brew, splitting the rock open when a drop spilled. #5amwritersclub #wildwalkprompt
