This is the most thought I’ve given to a Halloween costume maybe ever, putting my surgery scar to use. Happy Halloween!

Nobody EVER asks what all the candy is for when you buy $150 worth during October and all I’m saying is let’s keep that energy for cheese all year round because I’m tired of all the questions

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Caught my wife and my cat red-handed

🤣

Your baby is a whole lot heavier than mine!

They are!

Even on the weekends 🙄

Finally able to update (this is embarassing and I hate that it's the truth) that I'm into February for my inbox. It sounds terrible (it is terrible) but it's progress. #amagenting #ambehind #amediting #amreading

Yeah a bookseller at the store where I work literally told people not to read book 2 until book 3 came out because that ending was so traumatizing

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Best coworker

Are you in PDX? Did you talk with the Open Adoption and Family Services folks in SW PDX? That's the agency we used for our open adoption.

‘Scuse me, I didn’t think I had to say this but apparently I do, so to be clear, that means no passes today please and thank you

There are times it literally keeps me up at night

Editors! As always, all I want for my birthday is some good news for a client (or more than one). Which of you want to make this happen for us?

It's not just authors refreshing their emails every other second. #amagenting

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Look at me! Momentarily under 800 messages in my inbox again!

The worst part is that they’re right. It almost always fixes the problem.

Why is my wife's answer to whatever is not working with my computer to power it down? Doesn't she know I have 700 open tabs and can't just do that???

A good day for this reminder

Beautiful day in Portland for there to be #NoKings. Hard to see but there are a lot of people at the waterfront and crossing the bridge.

love this photo! (and thanks, all good though, they like me fine, just like her better, which, i mean, she's pretty great so i get it)

Ha! And no, they don’t think I’m scary, just nothing special. (Which is mostly fine with me)

Also, all animals like my wife best. Kids too.

She’s our very old lady and mostly just sleeps in the corner of the closet. She doesn’t come out too often these days, except to yell at us at 3 in the morning.

I might never recover from the amount of garlic that was in my dinner tonight. (Unfortunately for my family I can make another two meals out of the leftovers.)

They are rarely seen this close together
