VESUVIUS has its first trade review…. and it’s a STAR! 🌟
I’m so grateful to the folks at Publishers Weekly for seeing right to the heart of my debut’s “themes of class, gender, and healing from trauma.” This is a major honor.

The most frustrating thing about this whole manufacturing bullshit tariff debacle is that there ARE good jobs that we need to be funding here have here that can’t be outsourced.
It’s called the Green New Deal.

I think about this when things happen like getting the ‘5 Bullet Points’ email from the sketchy hr12@opm.gov address that somehow goes to elno who bought his seat at the govt. Stunts like that push boundaries so they can see how much we’ll give up.

Pretty wild to go from, ‘maybe I’ll buy a house this year,’ to, ‘I hope I still have this job in April so I can go to my dentist appointment.’ And it’s only been 7 weeks!

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Been so busy lately getting to work on pages of new things that I love but wanted to be sure to say that publishing is rarely overnight success and a lot of working your ass off.
Be proud of yourself no matter where you’re at. You’re doing the thing, boo, and are amazing 💛

I'm gonna need everyone to understand that, "I worked hard and I deserve this" and "This was mostly down to luck" are not mutually exclusive emotions when it comes to publishing success. Both can be true. Both are true.
