37,770 words on my WIP.

It's a fair start.

Added 4,000 words to my WIP today.

I needed this after 3 days of being too busy to write.

Honesty is the best policy.

Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets. The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it. ~Noam Chomsky

The Role of the Federal Department of Education vs. State Control: Debunking the Myths The Federal Department of Education ensures educational equity by funding low-income schools, supporting students with disabilities, and enforcing civil rights laws. While states control most education decisions, abolishing the federal department would widen achievement gaps, disproportionately harming communities of color and low-income families, perpetuating systemic inequities rooted in historical discrimination.

I can only hope to be an ounce as brave as Marsha P. Johnson. She's truly a hero of mine. 💙

Saving for my own classroom! This is so cute!

This is so pretty! 😍

This timeline is arguably the worst timeline. But damn is it good fodder for a dystopian writer like myself. 🤷

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I've always said this. Always.

They Made Us The Enemy: How Republican Politicians Leverage Educational Attainment for Electoral Gain For years, Republican politicians have worked to turn public opinion against higher education, painting colleges as breeding grounds for liberal ideology rather than institutions for learning. At the same time, they have pushed to weaken or even dismantle the Department of Education, claiming that education should be left to individual states or families. But what if these moves aren't just about policy differences?

I am so excited for my friend @dianawallachauthor.bsky.social, and her upcoming book, THE SILENCED!

THE SILENCED imagines what would happen if the girls who died in their Troubled Teen program haunt their abandoned “school” to get revenge.

Diana, this is beautiful! I'm about to put my posts out on all my socials, but I had to tell you how much I LOVE this cover first!

(Also, my book club is hyped to preorder and read it together)

The best part about being a Chiefs fan is how much writing I got done after halftime last night. 🤣

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Before Rosa Parks, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat.

She was arrested & erased from history. Black girls led the way. #BHM2024 #ClaudetteColvin

I sat down to write and pulled these two cards for my session. The King of Wands is a favorite. I love when he shows up in a reading. And, of course, Create from this wisdom deck bodes well for this session. ❤️

As a writer, I find Ayn Rand's career fascinating because that woman is literally the human version of the law of diminishing returns, every single thing she wrote was worse than the previous thing she wrote, it's extraordinary

Writers, do you write a 12-page outline in one night about your karate WIP like I did this week, or are you normal?

It's possible undocumented immigrants aren't criminals at all.

It's possible it was propaganda all along.

Book Burnings to Bannings: History Repeats Itself Nazi book burnings and today’s book bannings are looking very similar.

I started warning people two years ago that Nazi shit was coming. Two years of watching this slow slip into today. It's been painful to watch.

@dianawallachauthor.bsky.social Did you see this?

After getting feedback from my beta readers, I've decided to entirely scrap the first third of my novel, which is the writer's equivalent of cutting bangs, I think.

I’m thrilled to announce that today is the release day for Enemy of the Empire, the third book in my Son of a Sailor series!! Captain Redbeard’s adventures continue as he searches for the legendary Valley of Gold alongside a band of unlikely allies. 🏴‍☠️

Sitting in a dark corner of the library, writing about dilapidated manors and dreaming this could be my full-time gig. Maybe one day. Until then, I'll squirrel away scraps of time and write as ravenously as I can.
