Gen X, so I’m old enough to remember when “Texas” wasn’t a synonym for “Hateful GOP.” Writer. Love my spouse, my kiddos, my dogs, books, art, & travel. I have a playground sense of justice and won’t take odds. Proud that I never updated Twitter app to X.
I was honored to be an advance reader of Austin Channing Brown’s gorgeous and joyful new book, “Full of Myself.” Black Pearl Books and the Austin Public Library put on a great event Tuesday night introducing the book! It’s SO GOOD, y’all!

They were serving up plates with collard greens on them? Yeah, Trump never planned to eat that meal. Zelenskyy was set up for this.

Day 13. I read this so many times as a child. Just learned that Ruth Sawyer’s daughter was married to Robert McCloskey of “Make Way to Ducklings” fame. So cool! #BookSky #Books #BookChallenge

This year, I have finally accomplished what I always wanted to: I am ready for Christmas as I go to bed on Dec. 23. Gifts are bought & wrapped. Groceries are in the house, ready to cook. Santa has stocking stuffers & family pjs ready to go. Huge achievement for someone with ADHD! 🎄🎁❤️

Perhaps one of the best pieces of advice I ever got: It’s always better to avoid a collision, even if you have the right-of-way.
Another good piece of advice I received:

When you find yourself arguing over something that’s not actually important, you can end the discussion by saying, “You may be right.” Even when/if you’re convinced they’re wrong. 😂
Here’s another:

“Go to weddings, funerals, & graduations. People always remember that you showed up on their most important days.”

Day 12. I can’t choose just one Mary Oliver book, so here’s one appropriate for the season. She writes of a “thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else." Swoon. #Books #BookSky #BookChallenge

I’ve been thinking about the questionert on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social - 5 words to sum up your life. For 2025, my 2 words are SPAM BLOCK: Strength, Peace, Adventure, Movement, Books, Love, Order, Clarity, Kindness. (It may be cheating a little, but it’s easy to remember!)

Day 11. Definitely got me thinking about the nature of mortality at a young age. #Books #BookSky #BookChallenge

I had the honor of meeting Ms. Nikki Giovanni when she spoke & read some of her poetry at Baylor during the 1991-92 school year. I never forgot her line, “I am so hip, even my errors are correct.” Rest in power, great wordsmith & mighty inspiration.

Hey, friends. Please share a piece of advice that someone shared with you and it sticks with you.

I have several, but I’ll start with:

“Don’t bring facts to a fuck-you fight.”

This has saved me hours of time trying to convince mean-spirited people to care.

Day 10. Wonderful book on its own. Also an excellent alternative to the very biased, racist Civil War narrative of “Gone With the Wind.” #Books #BookSky #BooksChallenge

Day 9. (This is going to take awhile. I keep missing days. 🤦🏻‍♀️) One of the many books that taught me empathy.

"The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression."
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican president suggests Mexico could respond to any of Donald Trump's tariffs with tariffs of its own on US products.

It’s so encouraging to open this app and have tons of notifications. Today, it’s because my funniest, kindest cousin & I found each other on here, and she responded to all my posts at once, but still… 😂❤️

I can’t tell you how many times I read this as a kid. My spouse gave me a signed copy for Christmas about 10 years ago and I have an annotated copy. #Books #BookSky #BookChallenge

It’s official. Also, please note that I still have the iconic blue bird at the top of the photo. Never updated to the new dumb name or logo. #RIPTwitter #HelloBlueSky
