Don't be shy about sharing the work you do. We need to be well-resourced to withstand what's next. I'm a book coach, editor, author, and ghostwriter. I'm lucky I have a gift for language; I make books better. I work with only a handful of clients a year, but a deposit holds space on my schedule.

Agents and publishers are showing interest in creative non-fiction memoir. If you have a personal story to tell, now's a good time to write it. I can help.

I'm teaching an online workshop get you started. I offer the same 1:1.

Ask for the syllabus and details.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency.

If I hadn't seen this post, I would have gotten stuck paying an extra $30 for AI shit I don't want. Check your account.
Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Hey everyone! Incredible news!

Trans Scouts selling GS cookies this year on my list have sold over 50,000 boxes of GS cookies!

If you want girl scout cookies, consider buying from a trans girl scout this year! They'll mail them to you!

This is literally my fav thing to do every year :)
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

There are many ways I'm vulnerable right now. I'm a woman. I'm on Medicare. I'm disabled. I'm a Democrat.

But the one way in which I'm absolutely invulnerable is my voice. I've got one, and I'm not afraid to use it.

I recommend same.

Mike Allen of the one-time trustworthy Axios writes that Joe Biden's pardons are a "guise" (an external form, appearance, or manner of presentation, typically concealing the true nature of something), whereas TFG's pardons are "rip-off-the-band-aid" strategy to move on.

I will be unsubscribing.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I'm new here. I mean, I joined a while back, but didn't post much. Added all the everybody, but rapidly overwhelmed by a feed as wide as the Mississippi. Now I'm trying to curate while remaining curious and open to all I don't know.

How do you curate your feed?
