How it’s going:

Seriously I just landed in Iceland and everyone’s all “aurora borealis, shining down in Dallas.”

I came all the way to Iceland and the sky just….tweeted it out.

*stares in at the airport right now*

Off to Iceland!

My book was one the books these kids saved. They are absolute heroes. But I'm so enraged that ignorant adults put them in this position.

Hey @bsky.app, why was Sarah Kendzior suspended?

Then Toad poured a glass of water over his head.

“Do I trust them? No. That’s why I’m going to trust them this time.”

We go to Iceland tomorrow. Maybe I can get a little healthcare there, as a treat.

This sponge brain is the dragon we can’t beat, huh?

"A good fight begins with all of you." Read AABB member Sarah Weinman's address to the American Library Association "In Praise of Librarians in Dangerous Times."

Cuomo woke up the second most hated man in NY today. Always the bridesmaid, Andrew.

So many takes about Democrats being cowards, or stupid, or naive, or whatever. They’re bought. Everything they do makes sense if you stop assuming they’re representative of anyone but a few big donors.

The Democrats are not capitulating because they are scared of Trump they’re capitulating because actually countering fascism in Ways that would stop it would also impact their money flow and the wealth of those at the highest level of the economy and business they represent.

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

They caved.

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

I just called both of these and got to VM. Please call if you are in NY. Burn up the phone lines.

Literally the only good and sensible thing Dems have done is hold the line. The only thing. You spineless, heartless, brain dead cowards

I’m so full of rage about the Dems caving and letting people die that I want to punch through my window and scream into the rain. Any Dem that caves on this needs to be run out of town, made miserable wherever they go.

Dear My Senator, if you end this shutdown without ironclad protections for the American people I will dedicate all of my energy to ensuring this is your last term as my representative. You will not be elected dog catcher if I am still on this good earth.

If they cave, people die. Lots of people.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Why is @schumer.senate.gov such a weak and worthless sack of shit?

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

Oh phew.

Meet my new protagonist.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

WE BROKE UP DUDE.

Toad put his head very close to the ground and shouted, “NOW SEEDS, START GROWING!”

Dreamt @maureenjohnsonbooks.com gave up writing mystery books for teens in favor of the world of mimes and writing Escher-esque gonzo political journalism for teens. The zine was called Top of the Creeps, focusing on the terror that an Illinois Nazi government inflicts on its American citizens.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

RFK tears it out of there, I guess to go get his car because he'll 100% eat that guy if no one else wants him.

Sorry, not penguins. Puffins. PUFFINS.

Want to roll the dice with me on flights next week? Come to Iceland! 100% literacy! Penguins! Meet authors!

Let's see what the worst person I knew in college is up to today...

Just had an adventure with Dexy walking though a small local wood. First, TWO FOXES! Dexy was excited. But then, A HUGE ASS TREE just...fell down. About 20 feet from us. Absolutely would have squashed us both. So...not today Satan, I guess?

What is Cuomo doing today? Wrong answers only.
