The opposite of doom is not hope, it’s curiosity.
Doom shrinks - curiosity expands
Doom freezes - curiosity explores
Doom destroys - curiosity creates
When you are over come with doom, it’s time to get really curious.
Explore. Engage. Learn. Try. Seek. Question. Wonder. Dream.
Resist.

What is your most quoted line from a movie from childhood?
Mine:
“Not you! I don’t even know you!” Lilly, from The Princess Diaries. (It’s shocking how often this comes up for me)
I also call every special project or secret plan “The Annexation of Puerto Rico” and only the real ones get that one.

We need to stop trying to appeal to the empathy of fundamentalist Christians. There is not ground to be gained there and it plays into their martyrdom complex.
Empathy has been purposefully excised from fundamentalist Christianity for decades.

We are not going to lose hope. We are not going to back down. We are not going to quit. We are not going to breakdown or be distracted or any of the other things facism wants from us in the shock and awe campaign.

A very important part of being a fun aunt is not just getting the fun toy everyone else is too much of a coward to gift, but remembering to include all needed batteries so there is no excuse. The fun starts immediately!!

Looking for a narrator for the audio edition of The Flight Risk.
Need to be willing to work with an indie group, have a great southern accent, okay with so much cursing, and access to a professional level recording set up.
If interested or know someone who would be rad or who I should ask… HMU

What do you even begin to say in response to an essay about your book that's so thoughtful, so generous, & so overwhelming that it made you start to cry?
All I can come up with is thank you. Thank you, Macon, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ten Reasons is back with what is very possibly my favorite romance novel of the year @byrdwrites' Loser of the Year. Here are 10 reasons, but know I could’ve given you a hundred and had reasons left over. LOTY will crack you open if you let it - please let it. The light that comes in is so healing.

I just learned sharks are older than trees and mammals are older than the rings of Saturn and if you think of the whole existence of our planet in the context of a 24 hour clock humans step into existence just a fraction of a second before midnight.

Harriet Tubman was granted veteran status and posthumously given the rank of 1 Star Brigadier General on Veterans Day this year. In a country that has been getting a lot wrong lately, this is very very very right.

Today marks the birth of what will be the pop star + professional athlete romance revolution. And I - for one - am thrilled.
I cannot wait for the boygenius + USWNT series. Maybe it’ll even be a collection and we will get books by all the greats.
Just… imagine the tattoos and yearning!
