Same here.💜

😆 Your mom sounds cool

At this spooky time of year, I’m reminded of the time my eldest child whispered to his little brother, who was 2 or 3 at the time, with mischievous delight in voice, “Mama’s a witch!”✨🧹

Yaaaaasssss!!!💕

No warrant = kidnapping. Taking notes on how these heroes peacefully intervened.

Ohmygoodness. 😆 Where’s the cover illustration??

Briiiiiiliant!😁

Truth.

I can’t stand it either. YES, autocorrect! I DID want that letter to be lowercase! Quit contradicting me!

😆😆😆

Early bird tickets for AWP in Baltimore are on sale into November.😁

Writer friends: Will I see any of you there?

Happy Sunday, all!

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

Orange and white jackalope (i.e. bunny with antlers)

But jackalopes are the best!

Oh! Pretty!🤩

The world itself is pretty horrifying right now. Good on you for writing at all. Art will always be a form of resistance. 💜

You’re in for a treat! 🖤

😬 That movie scared the bejeezus outa me.

Child’s drawing of a person with a solid black torso that extends from the head all the way down to green grass. No distinct legs. The person has black eyes and black hair (or a possibly a hat?) and brown wing-like arms. The picture is completed with an orange and yellow sun and pink stick trees.

Uhhhh…did my preschooler just draw a Mothman?

Woah, that IS a win! A 5 week run? Glorious!😁

I’m glad someone’s winning this one!😁

😆😆😆

😆 Honest answer. That’s about all it’s ever lasted for me as well.

😩

Has anyone ever in the history of the battle against laundry felt like they’ve actually . . . won???

🤦🏻‍♀️

Please listen to me. 3 to 4 of every 10 cars on the roads in New Mexico now have out-of-state plates. This is NOT normal. The plates come from a variety of states, but mostly Texas, Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Missouri, Indiana, Oklahoma. Many have “fleet” tags. They appear to be registered to private military contractors. Today, in Walmart in Albuquerque, I was in line and heard two young black men in line behind me with strong Southern accents, talking about how weird they find New Mexico. They did not know each other until that moment. They quickly bonded over the fact they both had been recruited to work for a private company contracted to ICE. Different companies. One said he had been offered early prison release in exchange for an agreement to do whatever ICE asked of him. The other said he was ex military and they enticed him with a huge incentive signing bonus. These were both poor men, marginalized, also fucked over by the system. That's who they're ordering to attack us all on behalf of white billionaires. Which means that if Americans defend themselves against the coming violence, they will be killing people the administration won't miss. What we are seeing in Chicago the past 24 hours is a mere prelude. The official numbers of agents is nothing compared to the prisoners private contractors are releasing to kidnap, disappear and kill their fellow Americans. This suggests the covered faces are less about protecting the contractors and more about hiding from the public that prisoners are being used for this. Armed and set loose upon their fellow denizens on our streets. I suspect it won't be one city at a time when they begin the next phase, but everywhere at once. If you can leave the country, leave. Leave now.

A relative confirms multiple people were taken by ICE at the Walmart on North Ave in Chicago.

I’m home. My family, extended family is fine. Two family members had interactions with ICE.

Please read this. I’m tired.

Will book promo somehow in this dystopia.
