applying for jobs again

WA-05/Spokane area friends: Baumgartner’s voicemail box is still open! Let’s make sure he knows it’s unacceptable to sign off on HR 1, no matter how many shiny mailers he wants to send out defending it. 5calls.org has a great script. Like his emails keep saying, he works for all of us.

Well fuck. The FDA, in contravention of science and a departure from recent years, is restricting availability of the covid vaccine. I’ve submitted public comment and contacted my officials about this boneheaded move that will only make America sicker- you should too. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/...

Measles was completely eradicated in the United States by the MMR vaccine. It is not possible for anything to be better than that. It is journalistic malpractice to present this as anything other than stupidity, lies, and outright fraud.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

✨Cover Reveal ✨ I’m over the moon to share the next Glitter Bats book! And yes, the rumors are true—it’s Jane and Keeley’s time in the spotlight! FOR OUR NEXT SONG is scheduled to release January 13, 2026 from Berkley! Thank you to Carolina Fuenmayor for another stunning cover! 😍

hi, cis folks! if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status. ~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care. that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

thank you @booker.senate.gov

“Our history shows that rugged individualism and self-reliance are important values. But rugged individualism didn’t beat the Nazis. It didn’t take us to the moon. We did that together.” - Cory Booker, 25th hour

Yeah that’s probably why

in every romance I’m working on right now (in various stages,) both MCs are bi, and I love this for me

just broke out a project I haven’t looked at in a while and it felt like a cozy homecoming ☺️

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

just finished my second watch through of Arcane and I’m not okay

Maybe we weren’t meant to wake up and read 20 terrible things immediately.

trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore

I don’t think an episode of anything has ever hurt me as much as “Pretend Like it’s the First Time”

so when you get pregnant in montana, you lose rights to your own body and also to your body's position on planet earth.

I want *people* to read my book but I also don’t want anyone *I know IRL* to read my book

starting my week off right (cooked up a big batch of homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner)

recently thrifted my first 100% cashmere sweater and wore it for the first time today holy shit, so soft, I feel like I’m wearing a cloud

I needed to hear this voice and these words at this moment. "This chapter will not be written simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office or wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, by we the people." Thank you, VP Kamala Harris. #NAACPImageAwards youtu.be/bnmKwxjMKgs?...

after going nonstop from the holidays > debut month > deadline, I spent today getting coffee with a local writer friend and playing video games, and my well is starting to refill

still one emotional crisis away from getting a new piercing or tattoo

having to explain publishing to my (great!) therapist in order to explain why I’m anxious majorly adds to the overwhelm some days

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

adjusting meds + imposter syndrome is one hell of a combo anyway my week has been totally fine 🙃

I don’t think I’ll ever get over how cool it is to see pictures of my book out in the wild

The Emperor’s New Groove is a fantasy movie because a rich narcissist oligarch learns empathy by spending time with normal people. And also he gets turned into a llama

I really need to stop pitching my books as Taylor Swift songs… but what if I told you this one is “Guilty as Sin” meets “Treacherous” but make it sapphic?

Today's craft thread to temporarily distract from the dystopian cyberpunk hellscape iiiiiis . . . live pitching! (A NOTE! even if you don't plan to live pitch an agent or editor, it is very likely you WILL have to pitch your book live someday, whether to an audience or person you met on a plane)

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

just finishing up edits on my next book, and there’s so much sapphic longing but I’m still finding ways to add more

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

The existence of Google Earth, Apple Air, and Amazon Fire implies there must be a Microsoft Water…

For the evening crowd! Excited to hype @literarilyjess.bsky.social, @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social, Kerry Donoghue, Neena Viel, Kristen Zory King, and Kristin Koval

so tired of people pretending this isn’t happening or that the guardrails are even functioning anymore because LOOK

just updated my website, please clap

an underrated benefit of leaving the church is not having to pretend to care about football

THE UNITED STATES IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION

the frustrating thing about the “do you really need eggs that badly?” takes is that yes I do, because they’re half of my current hyperfixation meal 😫 but I’m buying like, one carton per week tops

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

tfw the hotel cookie has the same amount of protein as a Larabar: hello lunch

I had so much fun on this podcast!!!

Got a Dem Senator? They can do more than just vote. -Oppose Nominees -Reject Unanimous Consent -Vote NO on Cloture -Request Quorum Calls This is a constitutional crisis. They should act like it. Send an email to your Dem senators here: act.indivisible.org/sign/urge-de...

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide. This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.
