Dear @democrats.org , please stop asking me to pay you to sit around and wring your hands like the rest of us. Show me a plan and some action and I'll show you some money. #ToughLove

Excited and nervous--today I'm presenting a #storytelling workshop as part of the HerStoriesProject #writing incubator. Feels like the stakes have never been higher for #women to speak up and tell their #stories...

I get that the Administration's strategy is to overwhelm us so we're too tired to fight back. But is there no point at which this buffoonery isn't just embarrassing to the GOP? If Biden proposed buying Greenland and taking over the Panama Canal and Gaza they'd be calling for him to be committed...

This has been an especially hard year for a lot of people & creating is *hard* when you're struggling just to keep your head above water

So if you've written anything, drawn anything, created anything at all in this very difficult year, you are a champion

For some reason an Edie Brickell song popped into my head this week and now I've had the *Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars* album on repeat for 2 days now 🎧 #GenXProblems

Wednesday Wine Day. Is that a thing? Before moving to NM last year I was woefully ignorant of the wine industry here. Remedied that at this past weekend's winefest & thinking I need a glass to wind down after continually reminding a desperate (& demanding) client that I'm a writer, not a designer..

Sometimes (ok, a lot of times) I look at my cats and envy how unperturbed they are. But who's to say we humans can't just focus on what we love to do and worry less about status and what other people think? From now on I'm going to work harder on my #cattitude...

Well, it was months of waiting for an invite code and a few weeks of silently checking things out here and Musk's ridiculous idea of making all Tweeters pay for what he broke that spurred me to stop splitting my attention and finally start posting. I'm here, I'm in, let's do this thing. 😜
