Holding my Indigenous friends and family in my heart today, as on every day . . . but on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, it is important to say out loud: I love you, I stand with you, I will not forget. 🧡

Fortunately, nothing hurts. Nope. Especially not my neck.🙄

I WILL finish this book if it KILLS ME.

Hey #writers, I have a Q.

PLEASE see this meme of me with an old version of my cover, below. A friend "put 'me' in the picture" as a lark (you'll see the trim job is um imperfect) complete with pants and high heels. I don't wear heels, but whatevs.

WORD OF THE DAY 📢

Pejorative

Since 1882 (noun)
From New Latin pējōrātīvus, from Late Latin pējōrātus

"I often hear the words 'woke' and 'globalist' spat out from hissing tongues as if these were pejorative, not weaponized, terms."

As you know, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and others denied that specifics were provided in their unsecured group text regarding the attack on Houthis in Yemen, a thread in which Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently included.

“911. What is your emergency? Police, ambulance or fire?”

“Police. I’ve found a man lying on the floor of St. Eligius Cathedral,” Grace said, “and he may be dead.”

I need to find words to intelligently excoriate this, but at the moment I'm so fucking horrified I just can't find them.
