In all honesty, I'm having trouble finishing this novel. It's brilliant, but just a little too true an examination of how we are handling climate change. But if you love good writing about a difficult world, get it! #kimstanleyrobinson #readtolive #booksmatter

Glad to see this, of course, but still devastated that it needs saying.

Trump Calls Zelensky a ‘Dictator’ as Feud Escalates Over Ukraine Peace Talks President Trump called Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator without elections” after the Ukrainian president said Mr. Trump was in a “web of disinformation.”

And to show I'm not picking on NPR, I see NYT is doing the same thing. If #Zelenky isn't there, these aren't peace talks. I write children's books, not anything political, but I can see what's happening. Any ideas on how to help #Ukraine now that the US isn't? Pls. let me know!

Zelenskyy looks to get a seat at the table for U.S. and Russia's Ukraine peace talks In the United Arab Emirates on Monday, Zelenskyy said he's in the region for official visits focused on humanitarian and economic issues. He said Ukraine did not know about the Russia-U.S. meeting.

I love NPR -- give money, listen, etc. BUT the headline itself announces that peace talks aren't on the table. Appeasement and partition talks are. I get the media is walking a tricky line, but try reporting on what's happening. @timothysnyder.bsky.social does. Why can't reporters?

I particularly like your idea of unscrewing the lightbulbs.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I got through the 1st yr of the last Trump Chaos Show by reading novels by Anthony Trollope. It really helped, but I'm currently stuck 100 pages into Doctor Thorne. I know people knitting toward sanity, but I need a book. Any suggestions? #anthonytrollope #readinghelpseverything

I won't hold my breath but thank you for conveying so much in so few words!

I've never seen a dog eat that in a dainty way. Good for her for just going for it!

Wow!

Nice stiches! Plus, good advice.

Barbara Pym offers comfort, delight, and, in this case, advice. If you want to read your way into joy, you can't go wrong with this novel or #sometamegazelle or #excellentwomen. With a hot milky drink of course! #booksky #books #readerswhowrite #writerswhoread #barbarapym

This kind of reality needs to be spoken aloud over and over and over again. Thank you!

Thank you!

Being outside can help shake off the news. And if it is too icy out right now (I woke up -3°), remember a summer walk while you workout indoors. #smalljoy #walking #dreamingofwalking

To survive these 4 yrs, I'm going to focus on two things I love: reading & writing. And offer support to survivors of sexual assault. Not just to the 26 who credibly say POTUS did it to them. But to the 1 in 5 women whom statistics tell us experience it. #smalljoys matter. So does kindness.

I love your work and the way you clearly tell liberals (like me) that if Trump were not around, we could have interesting policy disagreements. You are, as I'm sure you know, an amazing writer. But with this piece, you brought her into the room. Thank you.

Always. Tea in a petty place is good as it gets.

I love this idea, how clever of you to combine two passions.
