Abraham's eldest son, and only son to survive into adulthood, Robert Todd Lincoln- was present or nearby for 3 presidential assassinations. Bizarre, and I can understand his sense of being cursed because of it. #book #writer #bibliophile #reader prologue.blogs.archives.gov/2010/10/27/t...

As it turns out, the only item I addictively buy is books. I currently have $159 credit at the used bookstore, and I feel FAN-TA-STIC about that. Everything else can go in my Goodwill pile... #bibliophile #books #booklover #writer www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

I mean, it’s Shelley, and the poem is powerful and viscerally on point in its meaning. Yet I can’t deny thinking of Walt and Hank when rereading it. #BreakingBad #bestwriting #bestshow #vincegilligan

Just finished reading Jo Nesbø's The Snowman which led me to looking at the male writer's tendency to write female characters only in terms of their desirability, their breast description, and the ubiquitous clinginess of clothing. 🙄 #writer #booksky #books www.boredpanda.com/male-authors...

This is utterly remarkable. I wrote notes like this, filled out disability forms (that so often had vague questions not relevant to the body part ((eyes)) that I was examining), and more crap that just weighed down my days. Employers do not trust their employees-that's what all the sick notes imply

Disgusting. This is when I wish #bluesky had an option other than a ❤️ to say I've seen this and I am appalled. #Blacklivesmatter This is the same group who had an argument about never pulling down monuments.... remember?

Ohmagod, this is so true. Admittedly, I do some Future Self journaling-powerful stuff. But looking back, I wonder how I managed all those insecurities that no one else saw, I never shared. I also have a record of every boy I've ever had a crush on. #journal #writer #author

This post literally hurts my brain. I'm unable to unroll my eyes at this dude, and wonder in what way he's a "keeper" after this description of his ridiculous argument. #irrational

Am hoping to do the 5K in La Jolla in May. Looks like a beautiful run. I'll see if my running quad (3 other gals and me) would care to do a lovely coastal run. #running #5k #LaJolla lajollahalfmarathon.com/san-diego-ru...
