We lost our dear rabbit Heidi last weekend to what we now know was likely chronic kidney disease, but the house felt too empty without her.
Soooooo we adopted more rescue buns because we have space, love, and food to spare! Introducing Poptart, Payday and Elise. 🥰

Every day my desire to spend time on social media lessens. I am always torn between feeling like I need to post and self-promote my work but ultimately I chose to be a writer instead of a marketing manager. The fuel for my creativity isn’t in a screen. #kidlitchat
TOPIC: How are you using social media and the online world for your career these days? Which networks or sites are still worth your time and energy? Are you posting more? Less? Both??? #kidlitchat

Would anyone be interested if i started a new newsletter/series specifically discussing my adventures in bunny care and rescue? We lost our sweet stinky bun Heidi over the weekend and I would love to share more about her and the rest of the Misfit Rescue Fluffle. 🥺 #writingsky

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.
‘tragos’ = goat
‘aeidein’ = to sing
So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”
Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

NJ students in grades 6-12 will now learn about “the history of organized labor, notable strikes throughout history, unionization drives, and the collective bargaining process and existing legal protections in the workplace.”
This is genuinely so important, and so good to see. Jersey strong, baby!!

Proud to sign legislation today ensuring students understand the history of the labor movement and safeguarding the freedom of employees to make their own choices at work without coercion.
These bills reinforce our commitment to honoring the role of organized labor. www.nj.gov/governor/new...

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.
