All I want for Christmas is some…book sales. Alternately, I would love to visit your book club or would a request to carry my book at your local library. I’m so proud of this book, and I hope that I can share that love with more people. 💗💗💗
Shoutout to @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social in San Diego!
Reminder that books make awesome gifts for all holiday events, and they taste sweeter when they’re from indie bookstores. Don’t know what to get? Indie bookstores have gift cards!

It's really weird to see people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, who once had sweet corporate gigs, have to turn up the creep knob to compete with a generation of personalities that started with an iPhone and a mental disorder.

I'm in Detroit. It's 25 degrees & dropping. I met a woman who has slept outside for 5 months. Yesterday, all of her belongings, incl her blankets, were thrown away. She has nowhere else to go.
It doesn't have to be like this. Housing + support solves homelessness. We need political will.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Grief is like a shard of glass in your stomach. It’s impossible to pass, so you spend years learning how to move, to not move, to minimize the pain. Still, when you least expect it, it cuts you. Even though it needs you to live, it only knows its nature.
