Shout out to Jalen Hurts and “scheduling conflicts” 💚🦅💚 #eagles

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Unsolicited tip: Never try to #write without showering after the gym 🥶🥶🥶 #booksky

Me for the rest of 2025

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

The writing cave is an effective shopping deterrent #10kweek #flex #boycott #booksky #authorsky #writersky

This is such a great idea! We didn't see it in time to steal it for tomorrow, but wanted to hype a friend doing something cool. We're still working on some things, so stay tuned!

Spent two hours researching baleen whales and sea spiders and how does this happen #booksky

These men don’t understand what a #t1dmom — or any mom of a child with a life-threatening chronic disease — will do to anyone who gets between their child and a cure.

The seed-oil bro who tees up posts with “I’m no ‘expert’ on this…” Are you sure? Are you really sure, buddy? Because I was about to start taking notes.

📖 Arianna is writing her own story—one of leadership, growth, and the power of choice. #VOWforGirls first met Arianna in 2020 in the Dominican Republic, where she shared her dreams for the future. Four years later, she’s not just shaping her own path—she’s leading the way for others. (1/3)

As a leader of her local girls’ group, she’s advocating for change in her community and beyond. This year, she took her voice to the global stage, traveling to New York to participate in UNGA, proving that when girls are given the opportunity to thrive, they don’t just succeed—they lead. (2 of 3)

✨ The Happily Ever After campaign is about ensuring every girl has the chance to be the author of her own life, just like Arianna. Because when girls are empowered, they rewrite the future—for themselves and for generations to come. (3 of 3)

My God I love revision. #booksky

God bless @propublica.org projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

2025 is about channeling anxiety into action. I’m directing my energy toward 2 causes: supporting pro-democracy journalism, and VOW. Every three seconds a child becomes a bride. Watch my socials in Feb for more on how VOW is helping every girl be the protagonist of her own story.

I get tired of pundits saying this is what the American people asked for. I am an "American People" and I did NOT ask for a sociopath to have more power than almost anyone on Earth. Some "American People" signed up to ride in Trump's Grand Theft Auto game. The rest of us are tied up in the trunk.

Rabbit Rabbit! To guard against bad luck on the first of the month, but also the original title of After the Woods. FWIW: rabbit rabbit!

Preference for writing in the dark: bad for already terrible vision? Inquiring minds.

Beating deadlines with sugar since…1996-ish

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) just now: “You could literally walk down the street and the first 100 people you’d find would be less dangerous as the head of HHS than Robert F Kennedy Jr. He will get people killed”

Stories and snow cure everything

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Face IDs working on NOTHING and apparently biometrics do not take into account the accoutrement of the bedridden flu sufferer Off to books I go. Silver lining.

Fascinating, and horrifying. Will they simply erase history or eventually replace it with something revised/rewritten? “JAN 6 was uneventful, a bit cold.”

“imagining myself a hero, rushing fearlessly for the gun, instead of merely loitering in the bullet’s path like the bystander which I so essentially am.” The Secret History, Tartt #books #booksky #readinggoals

suggestion for #booksky #bookskyauthors like me who are still transitioning off #instagram: use my bitly in your bio to direct readers to #mariannedgarbudde ‘s excellent book>> bit.ly/MariannEdgarBuddeHowWeLearnToBeBrave *On Bookshop—not Amazon ;)

Okay this helps my heart #booksky #backlist #readerlove
