I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.”

One simple trick for GOP members of Congress who are—or claim to be—disgusted by the administration’s stance on Russia and Ukraine is to switch parties and become Democratic members of Congress.

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee
Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires
It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

We’re all angry and worried and maybe some don’t feel like creating or no longer feel like it matters, but keep writing, painting, dancing, making music, making art. Not doing the things that bring you joy—not making art—doesn’t help. Do what you love harder than ever.
