Trump has spent all year attacking Virginia’s economy and workforce.

Now, he’s threatening to use the government shutdown to fire even more Virginians — and Winsome Earle-Sears still refuses to stand up to the President.

Virginians deserve better.

I guarantee you she was a fan of THE NEWSROOM.

WOW WOW WOW 🌕💫

Large tortoise with a cheese hat like Packers fans wear. It's just a wedge of cheese. It's the color of American cheese but has holes like Swiss cheese. Honestly I don't get any of this.

I dunno, he said he wanted to be a cheesehead 🤷🏻‍♀️

"Juan" traveled from CA to harvest blueberries in OR. "The fields are in bad condition-so overgrown I can barely walk. I was to get paid 40 cents/lb, but the labor contractor who brought us here doesn't want to pay us sometimes. I'm not protected by a union contract." #WeFeedYou

AI at its peak.

So at noon-ish I’m doing a book signing here at the James River Writers Conference and I’m feeling like I need to liberate these copies of Acquired Taste, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes and Ghost Eaters… Run, books! Run! @jamesriverwriters.bsky.social #jrw2025 #jamesriverwriters

Can't even say "shiver me timbers" or call your coworkers "landlubbers" any more without people making all kinds of assumptions about you

I'm so sorry.

Jesus that GIF

My thought is, if I think they're a drag when I'm reading their sections, the readers definitely will. The thought of removing them has me excited to work on the manuscript again.

name: sonora
current read: spread me
last show: GBBO
last film: wicked (the crappy thriller with Julia Stiles, not the musical)
fav book this year: dream hotel by laila lailani
fav watch this year: together

+ something spooky:

Cover art: the two illustrations feature a foreboding, wildly framed mirror and a human silhouette in the reflection; and two hands clutching a mysterious organic, vaguely heart-like mass; plus a blurb from M.Shaw.

HUGE NEWS DAY!

We have a new @egallagher.bsky.social SPLIT SCREAM cover to share!

(In lesser news, there's a new T-Swift album! And that is literally all the news.)

Anyway! SPLIT SCREAM: CURSED PLACES! Featuring novelettes from @sonorataylor.bsky.social & @matthewtpritt.bsky.social

Thank you for sharing!

Fright Girl fall! What a cool collection of books to be a part of.

Have reached the point in editing where I may remove a whole character entirely. Look, when someone's a drag, they're a drag. Can't be helped. #AmEditing

I have openings for anyone wanting to schedule for me to do book editing (or any #editing). Working to finish a project now, but after that, I am in need of some work. Dev, line, copy, proofreading. Let me help you make your manuscript shine. DM or email me. Shares welcome!! 🫶🏼
