I missed the part where blowing hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on gaudy, unnecessary White House upgrades counts as “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Or did we just drop that whole narrative?

@netflix.com Your new UX is awful. Awful. As a digital leader I cannot believe that this tested well. If your goal was to copy the terrible Prime experience, ✅. If you wanted to enhance the ease and simplicity of finding great entertainment, ❌

Congratulations! Go you!!

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Basic ingredients for a good day
🌿 something outside
🥗 something healthy
🎯 something purposeful
😂 something lighthearted 
🧘‍♀️ something calm
💕 something to help others

It’s honestly shocking this hasn’t happened yet…

😂

That’s awesome!! Go you!

Hahahaha. Found myself doing the same when I was (binge) watching it.

As my friend, and amazing author, Carolyn Coman says, it’s for “getting to the heart of the matter”.

@kristinbairokeeffe.bsky.social I hope you can write this into your book! It’s a lol moment that is SOOOO relatable. 😂

Of the many characters I've written, the one who is most like me—especially at that age—is #Willodeen.

Like Willodeen, I was shy. I loved spending time with animals. (For me, it was gerbils.) And I was trying to make sense of the world and find my place in it.

I loved writing her. 💜🌿

Phillies game with evening lights and fans standing as Kyle Schwarber comes up to bat.

Phillies game was a vibe last night. This was just before the grand slam. Awesome. Schwarber is a beast! 😎

Feeling the need for a week of writing in a little cabin somewhere.

AOC: We saw Republicans vote to completely gut Medicaid, which covers nearly half of all births in the U.S.

They did this despite the fact that the U.S.—the richest country in the world—also has the highest rate of maternal deaths among all wealthy countries.

It’s exhausting

Hahahaha. Be careful what you wish for.

I’ve never written a whole chapter in one sitting! 😬

Ok writing peeps. Best advice when you have a MG manuscript you 100% believe in and it just won’t sell?

(Think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets Lemony Snicket.)

*No helpful editorial comments from publishers who have read the whole thing. Simply “not quite right”.

Suggestions?

Wimbledon. Until next year. 🍓🥂

Beautiful!

Nice look at the budding partnership between the Miccosukee Tribe and the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation, who are teaming up to protect "environmentally significant lands" at a time when "60% of federally recognized tribes have lost... federal funds." Bravo. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yes…still racism, misogyny, high taxes, etc., but no one worries about being financially crippled by a healthcare diagnosis.

The fine folks at @mackidsbooks.bsky.social are giving away 30 copies of my new novel, POCKET BEAR, on Goodreads.

I can't wait for you all to meet Pocket and his friends. 🧸🧵
