Book and stickers and bookmark

Took the kids to the Book Blast today, got a Christmas book from @katielcarroll.com and some cool swag! 😎

not to brag but my local librarian told me she’s very excited to read my new book based on the titles I’ve been checking out for research

If they haven’t fixed college costs in 15 years, my kids are gonna find out all about this. 🤣

You inspired me 😉😉

I know I complain a lot on here about politics, The Rich, etc. 😆 But personally it’s been a pretty good week! Attended a library vendor expo today that had cool swag and a yummy lunch. Hung out with a former colleague. Went to the gym after. 🙌

Yep 😑😑

Man, that’s depressing….

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Also, everyone in all locations in the United States.

Childcare costs more than our mortgage. But we did the math for one person to stay home, and it didn’t math. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well Mermaid Books is a cute little indie bookstore in Milford, CT!

What area are you looking in?

Damn, only been 80 years….

“After the war is won, we must be prepared to move forward with the implementation of these rights.”

ETA, you also get to hang out with me! 😃

Hey, New Haven-area children’s authors! Is anyone interested in a volunteer opportunity the morning of December 1st at a local school’s “Books and Breakfast” program?

If you’re curious send me a message. It is “volunteer,” but you’d get a bagel or something and it would look great on your website.

Made by a student today:

Happy Veterans Day!

My district has school today and my school does a breakfast and assembly to honor veterans in our community. Glad that my dad, stepdad, and one of my brothers got to attend! 🇺🇸

Yep. 😑😑

Sent out one more query. You never know.

Either way, very cool! And beautiful necklace!

Thank you! I had managed to keep my “secret life” a secret for awhile but a few social media follows and now they all know the truth! 😆📚

Coworker is reading book, thinks it’s fabulous, will order and review

So I posted on FB and IG asking folks who have read my book to review it. Got this text today from a coworker!

I don’t, regular inflation does it for me. 😂

Seriously between the price of food, homeowners insurance and property taxes rising in the past three years, plus an increase in daycare costs, the raise I got from getting a 6th year degree is all accounted for.

So we gave them our healthcare and they’re still not giving us our food?

FFS, but predictable.

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

Did you make that??

Good morning. Just a friendly reminder that it is a great day for @schumer.senate.gov to resign from his leadership role. The votes last night show that he is not fit to lead. The Dems should not have caved and should have fought. He is ineffective and needs to go today

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders LIVE: I Won't Support Doubling Health Care Premiums

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.

All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

The American people absolutely deserve and need healthcare. 💯
