One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

I had such a great time last night hearing Julia Quinn, author of the #Bridgerton series, talk about writing romance. I even scored myself an autograph! 💕 #romance #WritingCommunity #writer #author #books #BookSky #read

14yo: "A kid at my school was out with ebola."
Me: "EBOLA?"
14yo: "Yeah."
Me: *thinks*
Me: "Could it have been Ecoli?"
14yo: "Oh. Maybe."

So excited to attend the Arlington Reads chat with Julia Quinn tonight! #Bridgerton

For anyone with a child in college or heading to college who might need student loans or a child with a disability who needs an IEP or other accommodations, contact your representatives NOW. They want to do away with the Dept. of Education.

Canada,
You do what you need to do. I don’t think any sane person in the U.S. is going to blame you for sticking up for yourselves in the midst of being bullied.
Love,

Tragic #planecrash in DC last night. My airport. Of course, it should never have happened. How does a helicopter hit a major airline? But to immediately spread lies and misinformation is a disservice to those onboard and all the families in mourning right now. Give it time.

You want to get angry? Go look at the White House website. It’s basically one big advertisement for Trump. Such propaganda. Nothing historical there at all. Just all his cronies and his executive actions and a stupid video of him exiting a helicopter. No US Constitution.

Another shout out to one of my clients, S.H. Blodgett, on her newest release Blood and Betrayal. If you’re a fantasy fan, check it out! 📖

I know, right? These people are out on the street. No doubt because Trump needs their support for whatever the next insurrection will be. That’s the only reason you would pardon those folks.

BlueSky is my happy place, so I don’t want to bring politics over here too much, but has anyone seen this insanity over at Twitter? Our president is encouraging this behavior. Meanwhile, on TikTok, I get flagged for using the word “idiot” because it goes against community guidelines.

Wow. The propaganda with this #TikTok fiasco is ridiculous. China bowing at Trump’s feet. Oh, thank you, President Trump (who isn’t even president until tomorrow). All these bozos thinking he’s some savior. Excuse me while I fetch my barf bag.
