About - ROSIE SCHAAP IS BROKE I’m a writer. I’m broke. I’m writing a new book about being broke. Click to read ROSIE SCHAAP IS BROKE, a Substack publication with hundreds of subscribers.

I've just launched ROSIE SCHAAP IS BROKE, a newsletter (mostly) focused on personal finance, by a person who doesn’t understand money at all!

Can I sort my shambolic financial self out and be debt-free by 2030? I hope you'll subscribe and join the conversation.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

The Drug That Could Revolutionize the Fight Against H.I.V. World leaders are dismantling global health programs and cutting back foreign aid. Will an extraordinary new medicine be able to outpace the damage?

A new drug could revolutionize H.I.V. prevention. But, as world leaders dismantle global health programs and cut back foreign aid, will this extraordinary new technology be able to change the world?

In the distance I hear the village nursery school kids singing β€˜Que Sera Sera’ and think, this has to be the soundtrack for the end of the world.

Lovely to bump into @rosieschaap.bsky.social today in No Alibis Books, Belfast, as we signed copies of our books (while accidentally colour-coordinating with the covers).

The President just fired our extraordinary Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. As Chair of Senate Rules I worked closely w/her. She was dedicated to the Library and highly respected by Democratic AND Republican senators. This is an outrage and a big loss.

Looking forward to tonight’s pub quiz. I hope the Glenarm Wildlife Group will agree that our team should be called Pine Marten Scorcese…

Thanks, Keith! All is well in Glenarm, but I’m nonetheless distraught by goings-on back in the US. Wouldn’t mind a long walk dressed as a curlew myself.

This Cultural Life - Maggie O'Farrell - BBC Sounds Author Maggie O'Farrell reveals the influences that have shaped her writing.

Loved this interview with Maggie O’Farrell, full of smart, useful stuff for writers (and writers who teach). Spoiler: her influences include Tove Jansson and David Hockney.

Who’s the meshuggener who woke up at 4:30 to make bagels for her students on the last day of the semester? Me. I am the meshuggener. But they deserve it.
