I just bought Questlove’s “Creative Quest” while I was at work tonight, and I’m way excited. I’m hoping he’ll help me with the writing rut I’ve been in (the pandemic shattered my routine pretty hard).

Thank you for…helping future me as I go through it? 😅😅😅 I honestly do appreciate this resource in my back pocket. ❤️❤️

I ordered two copies. As an Only Child, this will be the hardest chapter of my life. My parents are well aware I want to be prepared. Folks should never feel afraid to talk to their family about end of life plans. I feel it should be normalized way more.

As another BN employee: I’d do the same thing. I’d ask if you’d want to sign copies and get the stickers out before you even answer 😅

Here are three steps you can take to start organizing your hospital to defend patients and staff against ICE. This is based on the experience of workers and rights groups in Minneapolis.

Share it with the healthcare workers in your life and read more at the piece linked down thread.

After learning how awful the #apple updated sounds, and that I was scheduled for download tonight

I quickly learned how to turn off automatic updates . 👀👀👀

A huge goal of mine this year is to take care of my village. The one that was there for me this last month. The folks who look out for me, and I would like to look out for them more.

I’ve had a suckish time hanging out with friends this last year, and I would really like to fix that moving forward

We’re not even two weeks into 2026, but I believe I would like a refund.

I know that was in the fine print, when I didn’t sign, that there would be no refunds, but I would like one.

It’s been a crap 2026 so far (twelve days in…), so thank you for such great news! 😭🙏

The ending of the took me out, Ohmygod

The ending will take you out, I promise you

Ttthhaaattt is quite an outdoor stadium!!!

Sounds like me chasing after patrons on the floor

“Can you please take your call off speaker, thanks!”

Was reading Through the Woods in a coffee shop a decade ago. When I went to hand in my plate at the counter, the barista asked me, “What were you reading? Your face looked horrified several different times. I’m so curious!”

I pulled them over to Horror. Dropped them Only Good Indians, Killer on the Road/Babysitter Lives, Buffalo Hunter Hunter, Never Whistle at Night. I don’t know what they took, or if any, but I did what I could for you, Captain.

@sgj.bsky.social A story to enter this holiday week in.

A guest approaches me at the bookstore. Looking for the Native American section—then it turned into a calendar…then I needed to ask them more questions.

Guest: “My dad is Blackfeet and we’re just trying to find him something.”

I want my mom

My grandma died last Wednesday.

My aunts and uncles chose today to bury her when I begged to have more time to get there.

Nothing could connect me to ND yesterday, so I went home after 4 hours at the airport.

They’re burying her now. I’m at home making a chicken wrap.

My village failed me.

@michaelwehunt.bsky.social, just wrapped (ha?) October Film Haunt, and what a ride. Super engaging and I actually got weepy on Coleman’s last chapter. Definitely held me hard during the whole run.

No, I don’t think I want to belong, if you know what I mean. ❤️

New color, who this?

You’ve all my best wishes you can push through this. I accidentally withdrew off Spirnolactone two years ago (cause I couldn’t get to Walmart) and the fatigue and weight my body went through was AWFUL. Take lots of rest (just scoop your pug up and stay on the couch as long as you can).

Camden was my sole-favorite part of London (definitely more of an Edinburgh girl 😜).

Lately, I’ve noticed I’m reassuring guests at the bookstore after they drop a big purchase with:

“It’s ok, there’s worse things to spend money on…like bills…”

Yeah, cause I’d really not prefer going from $167 a month to $575 🥲🥲🥲

No, I get you, it all adds up in this economy!

My family and I have done KeyBank since—man, it feels like since I was born, and I’ve never had to see a tax like that 👀👀👀 I’ve never had a glaring issue with them if you need to add another bank onto your list.

I just popped on Twitter an hour ago and I’m in disbelief how my timeline is actually showing, writers, agents, INDUSTRY PEOPLE after a damn year of poking on to irrelevant shit and soft porn. Like, I’m actually willing to go back in a bit. I have no clue what happened, but I hope it stays that way

🎶 Something I been wanting to tell you…for a long time…🎶

Literally had a guest at the bookstore argue with me that he remembers when he needed a code for the restrooms at our store

I’ve been in this building since 2014, we have never had codes to the restrooms. Hell, there’s no doors to ENTER the whole of the restrooms.

He absolutely wouldn’t believe me

I didn’t know that, I thought you were in Colorado this whole time!

If we can ever coax you down to Southern Oregon, I’m sure the library and bookstore I work at would love you for an event/signing! 👀🙌
