This #novel is supposed to be #politicalsatire, but we are all living it now. I'm only 25% into this #book and there are already dozens of horrific things I bookmarked as currently happening in #America. #Booksky #ReadingCommumity #Politics #BookRecs2026 #ItsHappeningHere

I don't know who needs to hear this, but a breakthrough still requires breaking something.

I'm seriously considering creating some basic English grammar and creative writing courses to help students and adults become more literate. I just don't know if anyone would care enough to do all that work to put it together.

#Teachers are not lying. I taught #writing for 10 years. Kids are getting to college without basic writing or #reading comprehension skills. They don't know how to form a proper sentence with capitals and periods. This is basic 1st grade grammar, and they can't do it. Worse, they don't even care.

I've officially entered THE VOID between Christmas and New Year, where time is slow and absolutely nothing needs doing. I'm writing, reading, napping and snacking, enjoying my peaceful hibernation mode.

Look, if you're editing and revising your book for the 5011th time, just stop. Any typos or plot holes that have survived your insane perfectionism can live. Save your soul from the caverns of dark madness, and call the book finished. It's going to be okay, I promise. #Booksky💙📚 #WritingCommunity

Books don't just tell stories. They help us learn and grow as people, and how to listen and connect to others different from ourselves. Reading great books is where empathy begins.

2025 feels like Pandora's box was opened by a bunch of bored, drunken, frat boys. What unholy chaos of disasters.

I'm trying to write *checks Scrivener* 18 projects at the same time, all of which my raging #AuDHD brain is convinced is equally fascinating, and mind-freezingly boring. Project 19 is brainstorming like a hurricane supercell. Send help. That little dopamine fucker got lost on the side quest again.

If it doesn’t scare you to write it, it’s not deep enough yet.

Trying to explain to my dad, why I haven't finished my book. "Most authors publish a book a year. I can't type that fast anymore." Dad:"The computer magically hears and does the words so the editory people publish on the little flat library." (His Kindle) "That's not... quite how it works, Dad."

ALL of us who served honorably in the military swore the lifelong oath to protect the Constitution from ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. We, who served honorably, have never forgotten that oath. Some of our non military leaders seem to forget they swore to protect the Constitution. I Wonder Why?

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

The world is in a lot of pain, and everyone is struggling with something. If all you've managed to do is survive the year, that is okay. You're still breathing. That is enough. You are enough.

Deep breaths. Drink warm things. Take naps. Do things that make you laugh. Be gentle with yourself.

A #POTUS who calls for the death of #Congress members shouldn't be allowed to stay in power. If you can't lead a country without getting people killed, you're bad at your job and should be fired. #ImpeachTrump now. That's #Treason

It's painfully obvious that corporate greed started breaking the economy back in the 80's, and it's only gotten worse. Don't blame Millennials and Gen Z's for not being able to afford homes. Most of us were toddlers, or not even born yet, when the adults running the world screwed everything up.

To clarify:

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

Anyone on the #Epstein List, and every other rapist too. Rope is cheap and reusable, and won't cost taxpayers millions to feed and house the most vile in society. Make public hanging go viral, and it sends a damn clear message to the rest. We will not tolerate this anymore. Children are off limits.

Every single ICE agent is committing a Class C Felony (False Imprisonment) unless they have a valid permit to be in the city, and a warrant signed by a sitting judge. Kidnapping and deporting people without due process in court is human trafficking. That's according to the US Constitution.

It doesn't matter if a child is under or over 13. TEENAGERS are still underage CHILDREN. Teen includes 18 and 19 year Olds. Children can not consent. A young woman is between 20-30. Even then, there is no excuse for human trafficking, sexual slavery or rape. #NoExcusesForRape #EpsteinList

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

This made me laugh. Seriously, though, if you have never actually read them, go find a paper copy in your local library from before 2000. Google and AI isn't going to tell you what it really says.

This is some Hunger Games bullshit. It's obvious to a majority of the American Population what we have to do now. Nobody tell him, or he'll think it's a "great" idea to put kids in an arena and make it a reality show. 🙄

#ICE Grabbing people off the street, from their jobs, from schools, because of their skin color, calling them "illegal", holding them hostage and imprisoning them, without ANY legal due process, is not justice. Without permits to be in the city, or warrants, this is nothing but #HumanTrafficking.

#HealthcareHack I share this every once in a while, because a lot of people don't know how to get their insurance to actually cover things your doctor prescribes.

Personally, I think it's weird that anyone cares how strangers live their lives. Mind your own business. Live a good life, and be kind. Love people so well, others will write stories about you, and your name will be remembered long after you're gone. If anything matters, it's that. Loving people.

The audacity, arrogance, stupidity and lack of compassion I've seen in humanity lately, is disgusting and heartbreaking. Life is too damn short to be throwing fits over someone's skin color, who they love, or where they choose to live. Nobody has the right to tell anyone how to live.

You know, I don't think anyone could pay me enough to give a flying fuck about anyone's immigration status. Country borders are imaginary, made-up lines, subject to change every time stupid, egotistical men start another war. We are all humans, sharing the same planet, and nobody owns the earth.

Deal with your bullshit in therapy, so you don't have to pick stupid fights with your girlfriend or wife just to feel better about yourself.

Men: I don't do drama. Also men: Job hopping, no stable housing, 3 baby mamas, a wife, and a side chick, lying, excuses, projection, gaslighting, hemotional mantrums, avoidant attachment, and addictions. With all the audacity and arrogance to tell women to "pick better" Sir, you ARE the drama.

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc. People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

Wake Up

A lot of people are conditioned to say "Sorry" and that means someone is also socially obligated to say "OK" and forgive them, and allow them to stick around. Saying words doesn't fix anything. No...an apology without changed behavior to back it up, is just another form of manipulation.

The abuse cycle goes something like this: 1. Future Fake/Love Bomb 2. Get You Emotionally Invested 3. Create Tension/Incident/Argument 4. Systematically Isolate/Destroy Confidence & Self-Esteem 5. Project/Gaslight 6. Blameshift When You React 7. Calm/Reconciliation 8. Set Up For Future Fight

The lies are the closure. The mocking is the closure. The betrayal is the closure. The ignoring is the closure. The selfishness is the closure. The disrespect is the closure. Knowing they didn't really love you is the closure. There's always closure, just not any apology or accountability.

We can afford to send $40 Billion dollars to Argentina, fund the Israeli genocide of Palestine and build a fucking golden ballroom nobody voted for. This country can afford to keep #SNAP benefits going. Nobody living in the richest country in the world (by far) should have to worry about starvation.

Just saw a man on a podcast say "I have a girlfriend I don't really like, but I can't break up with her because she might find someone who actually LIKES her and I couldn't handle that." *Sigh* Dude, I hope she hears that, breaks up with you, and fucks everyone in your group chat as revenge.

Calling women *host bodies* and *incubators* and supporting legislation that destroys women's lives, then expecting women to give a fuck about men's selfish desires for children they *still* refuse to care for, is an absolutely insane delusion.

If a man's patience and presence don't add to the peace or purpose in my life, I don't give a single fuck how big his paycheck or his penis is. I've never been impressed by either of those things in the first place. How a man speaks, and shows respect to me, is what matters most.

Create an environment where she can be soft, not out of fear, but freedom. If your words and actions don't encourage her to express herself, make her feel safe, or help her surrender her masculine energy, you’re not leading. Whatever you're doing is not dominance, it's cowardice wrapped in control.

Staying quiet doesn't mean I have no confidence or nothing to say, it means I know you aren't ready to hear my real thoughts.

Life is hard. The world is a dumpster full of bullshit on fire. The shit you’re dealing with? You’re not crazy, you’re not too much, you’re surviving the best you can. Scream. Let it out. Because you have a voice. You have survived 100% of your bad days, and that makes you a badass warrior.

You have to remind yourself that you are special. Your heart, your mind, your kindness, your energy, your love and care, it can't be replicated or replaced by anyone. If someone doesn't respect you or see your value, and can so easily walk away from you, that says more about them than you.

You can't play a woman who writes #romance novels for a living. Crafting a romance is a lot more than just characters fucking. We notice everything a man says and does, and we know what it means. It's our job to know. Don't try to play a woman who studies #relationships for a living. You will lose.
