If I'm not writing or cooking, I'm nerding out on Marvel, DC, space, science, or making art. (Just kidding I'm always working on writing).
Summer is out and we are editing...

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.

Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.
RFK Jr. says there aren't autistic poets. We asked an autistic poet.
"I will challenge RFK Jr. to write a poem as good as me any day of the week."

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️

I'm about half way through my final read through of 'book two', which should have been done in January...well, it should've been done last year. ANYWAY... A year ago January my mother passed away and everything feels like a downward spiral since then. I was just getting ready to... 1/+

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Honestly, a bad choice by the new mayor. Tourism at the zoo is always high. Parents also use the zoo as a playground. If you're a community member and you're not willing to help sustain zoos and museums and use them for free, you're part of the problem.
Hilo's Pana‘ewa Rainforest Zoo remains free for now as new Mayor Kimo Alameda halts proposed admission fees. Community voices mixed feelings—what do you think about keeping this local gem accessible? #HiloZoo #CommunityMatters #HawaiiNews
‘Please continue to enjoy the zoo with free admission’

Feeling drained today. Started editing chapter 4 of book 3. (I call this my problem child book because I've gone back into it so many times.) At least its a short week for the kiddos. It's not even noon and I'm ready to go back to bed.

The Christmas Extravaganza is always packed (which sucks for social anxiety). Pretty exhausting. Especially with this little social butterfly. #ItsChristmasTime #NoItsThanksgiving

I had ordered book 1's proof while I was in the "lower 48" earlier this year. Just ordered book 2's author proof today. I'm used to the cost difference on the 'Zon, BUT is it really going to take that much longer to send? Is it though? There are choke location they can print from on the west coast.

The family of a missing Maui woman made an emotional plea Thursday near the Los Angeles Metro stop where she was last seen more than 10 days ago.

Hannah Kobayashi’s phone tracker went dark on Nov. 11, the same day she was seen with an unknown person, then got off the subway that night ...

Technology is wonderful...when it works. I spent all night playing with canva and my book cover. For whatever reason it just did not like what was being imported and made it just ever so slightly blurry. I had to chop the image up into three parts. And then...

Shadow day at my daughter's school. English teacher spent 45 minutes grilling on the symbolism of a chocolate mocha birthday cake in a story. 45 minutes. It became very long and drawn out, contrived explanation. I wanted to scream sometimes a blue curtain is just a blue curtain.

I read somewhere that reposts are important here as there's no algorithm

If you see a post you like, find useful, funny etc. get in the habit or reposting if you were used to just liking on X

The more often the good stuff gets shared, the better our timelines will be
