I do a lot of things in my day that I don't post about. call senators, sign petitions, rage cry and wake up terrified for people I love who this govt hates. I also keep this candle of Walter Mercado near me, for when a light, a miracle, a witness is needed. I'm gonna need more candles, arent I?

Book people, book love makes me so happy. Happy enough to schlep out to NYC (on a school night!) to celebrate the launch of THE OTHER MARCH SISTERS with @lindaepstein.bsky.social @allymalinenko.bsky.social and @lizparkerwrites.bsky.social Can’t wait to dive into this beautiful book!

From the depth of sleep my oddball brain sends me messages. I’m working on an anthology idea AND I forgot to swap out the laundry.

New author photos - beautifully taken by Heather Palecek. One, I look like the suspicious bish I am; the other I look like a homicidal tea lady. Delightful!
