An independent bookstore just opened in my town and it is so romance friendly that romance is the first shelf you see when you walk in. I love this for us. My town is about to get a whole lot happier. 🥰

So, you may ask, why do I get so angry about the new liberal spin on RFK Jr, as in, "he gets some things right, so let's collaborate on those" or "we have to work with him because he has a huge following we need to reach"? Because I've seen this movie before. 1/

I just taught myself to Norwegian purl and omg, I might not be team anti-purl anymore?! This completely changes my continental knitting game. #knitting

One of the (many) downsides of working with very few women is that no one pulls me aside to tell me I have lipstick smeared all over my face. #WomeninSTEM

Last night our cat went on a bender and had her way with one of the balls of yarn for this wrap. Any suggestions for how to untangle it? I really do not want to cut it. I think as a start I’m going to look for the end because I used the center pull… #knitting

In June, a woman named Stephenie reached out to @propublica.org. An outreach worker told her we were reporting on cities conducting sweeps of homeless encampments, and she had a story to tell. 🧵

Why have the Guardian & Observer's journalists voted overwhelming to go on strike? I've attempted to summarise our concerns, the reports so far & why a Scott Trust board meeting tomorrow is a pivotal moment for press freedom & the future of journalism.

How to Speak Truth to Power
...when that power is your own news organisation? I don't know. And I wish it was a question I didn't have to ask.

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists.
If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

Gaetz' backing out of the running for AG is a big sign that even in this new Trump era, your voice matters. When you see injustice or corruption, do not let anyone silence you. Get loud. Make noise. We won't win every battle, or even most, but you won't win any at all if you don't try.

Lemme tell you - sometimes I talk with staffers who seem VERY happy to have progressive constituents making noise. Staffers sometimes really AGREE with us and our calls give them something to take back to their bosses. Call your reps, y'all. It matters.
Told my congresspersons's office they'd be hearing from me a lot and they laughed and said "Good " ❤️

Not comprehensive and still very much a work in progress, but I have begun building a user list of Black Romance Writers (which can also be pinned as a feed).

We’ve reached the sportsball discourse part of the evening. With no context, some of it sounds so dirty.
