My writing companions! (Piper is there too, hidden on a chair to my left). It makes writing less lonely. 💙

Book banning isn't popular and isn't what parents nor taxpayers want.

The average person is sick of hearing about the unhinged sexual fantasies made up by the genital obsessed party.
I'll go ahead and say it. Texas book banners got their butts kicked in tonight's school board elections. Again.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

I was interviewed for this piece...I'm at the end! Fascinating topic in the world's history of medicine and medical fads.

How about we use AI to fix our parent's WIFI not connecting to their printer AGAIN, instead of creating crap art and crap books.

Eh???

I adore candy corn too. I don't care if they feel like eating bits of waxy plastic molars that fell out of a candy monster's rotten jaws and that they are probably full of PFAS and microplastics.

I LOVE THEM
I love candy corn too much. (Don’t judge me.) But because of my lack of self control, after eating just one, I can’t stop. Therefore, I’ve gone cold Turkey and I’ve managed to go two years without having any at all!!!

Looking to make this year #3. Wish me luck!

@lydiakang.bsky.social's K-JANE is a timely mix of a young woman finding herself in her Korean heritage—and JANE EYRE.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.
When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

Have been listening to the podcast Scamanda. It’s really good.

But every time it comes on my brain says “Clamantha”.

I've got my pre-order in, you got yours?

I don't want to spoil anything - and I haven't heard it myself yet - but I found out something pretty actually amazing about the STAR WARS: MASTER OF EVIL audiobook from the folks at Penguin Random House audio while I was at NYCC...
