Our society is broken on a structural level, and it's so easy to feel despair -- because one person can't really stop the momentum. But we can throw a wrench into the machine. And, someday, enough wrenches will stop things so we can rebuild. Keep creating, keep resisting, keep throwing wrenches ❤️

Me drafting my queer little book during Pride month 🌈📚

I know there was a lot going on in American politics today, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight how much I admire the work that Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla are doing. They're sailing an aid ship across the Mediterranean to Gaza right now, despite lacking Israeli permission.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

I wish I'd known my agent was leaving before I finished my latest MS. I wrote it knowing that it was weird and unsettling and that it would maybe be a hard sell. But I also wrote it feeling safe with my agent. And now she's gone, and I'm not sure anyone else will believe in this book 💔 #AmQuerying

Have you looked at images of Gaza on Google Maps? You should | Arwa Mahdawi

Finally jumping back into my new WIP. Excited for this one 🙌🙌🙌 #AmWriting

Ah, yes. The time of year where my rent increases for no reason 🫠

There was a goose outside honking loudly just now. Tell me why for the first several seconds I thought it was my 8yo yelling, "Mom! Mom!" 😂 (I thought she'd missed the bus)

The Spring Equinox was yesterday, so I pushed a little wish out into the universe ✨ #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

I'm staff at university in a STEM department in the US, and it's a mess, y'all. This isn't just affecting current researchers, but a whole generation of future researchers. Maybe because my feed is primarily writers, but I haven't seen much talk about what's happening with NIH funding.

I think about this NYT cover from 2021 a lot. They could never run a spread like this again, it would require 20 pages for all the thumbnails of dead Palestinian kids

Y'all, I'm only one chapter into my latest WIP and I'm so excited about it! Throwing all my rage into another creepy YA feels great 🔥🔥🔥 #AmWriting

The worst part of coming back from a writing break is realizing that I can't read any of my scene notes 🫠 #AmWriting

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Okay, 2024, you've got like 2 hours to bring me any positive writing news🕯️#AmQuerying

90% of being a writer is hauling your laptop around with you and telling yourself you'll write on the train, but then never opening it and just staring out the window instead. Or maybe that's just me 😅 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Today's lesson discusses the American health care system for those in countries where their system provides care for free or reasonable fees. 👇
