As an alumn of UMD, I am so not jealous of the Class of 2025.

Not at all jealous that they had Kermit THE Frog as their commencement speaker.

Nope. Not at all.

(she was, in fact, very jealous and will be for eternity)

Yesterday, the crowd at the LA Public Library’s booth at the Festival of Books was insane. People were eager to sign up for a library card. I hope it’s the same for them today.

And, yes, I was one of those people. And, yes, I got my library card.

There was a small protest at the Festival of Books at USC.

After they passed us, I overheard a girl say, “Really? A fucking protest at a book festival?” And she sounded mighty disgusted by it.

I hope she knows books are a form of protest. If they weren’t, banning books wouldn’t be a thing.

Not only do I have to worry about the collapse of democracy and an impending economic recession, now I’m worried about my dog getting kicked out of daycare.

There’s only so many hours in the day. 🫠

Chuck Schumer was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Eventually the wheel of karma will turn again in the favor of sensible people, but God, am I tired of waiting.

For my first post, I shan’t write anything inspiring. My words have been failing me as of late. ‘Tis the woes of being a writer.

But I will show you a picture of my very cute but very bratty dog.

She’s fabulous but she’s evil. And I absolutely love her to pieces.

Revolution isn’t about chaos—it’s about clarity. Seeing the truth, speaking it, and refusing to back down.

Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.

Too many people haven’t touched a book since they graduated high school and it shows.

I’ll be staying inside books for the next four years. At least their villains are contained to a page.
