Happy human and book birthday to Matt Wildasin! Looking forwarding to getting my mitts on this beauty!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Happy birthday, Sonora!

Signs of life. After 2 weeks of sickness, I’m finally easing into the world of the living and fighting the good fight.

What can you do about the assault on USAID? Share this far and wide. Do your part! Please do retweet 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we would’ve spent that $$: 🏈Purchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year. Tell Congress to youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

If no one is organizing, then you can be the organizer. 👊❤️ Just start by emailing friends who also care. Go from there.

Is this the friend you're looking for @somercanon.bsky.social ?

Thank you @publiccitizen.bsky.social @democracyforward.bsky.social - lawsuit on behalf of AFSA and AFGE for #USAID affected employees! www.citizen.org/news/governm...

I know there’s a lot going on right now, but please take some time to understand what USAID does and the impact of the current administration’s policies.

Who is spearheading litigation against this? How can I help?

I need to hear some good news today and I’m setting the bar low. Raise your hand if you put trash in a trash bin today instead of on the floor!

Psst. You. Yes, you. Maybe stop scrolling and tinker on that story, hmmm?

Sent out another thing for a thing!

Happy birthday to my lovely wife @marysangiovanni.bsky.social. What better way to celebrate than by checking out her brand new novel -- a collaboration with Edward Lee -- STRANGE STONES. amzn.to/4azr9mo

Just submitted my first thing of the year. :)

Over the weekend, I went to a talk and signing at my local library and picked up this beauty.

Heard a mom with 2 little kids at the grocery store say “Don’t lick that!” And it made my day.

Stealing some writing time on my 30.

Devastating news for Ukraine and so many other countries. If the US wants to be perceived as a power for good in the world, this is not the move. Also, it looks like my sister is out of a job. ☹️

Now is a great time to surround yourselves with good friends and family. Plan outings. Plan dates. Coffee. Movies. Phone calls. FaceTime. Emails. Letters. Wander a bookstore together. Some days you’ll listen more. Some days you’ll talk more. Check in with one another 💝

Lunch break reading. 🙂

I’m giving the readers a deeper dive. This one is all tears, heartbreak…..and purging (vomit)

My local library is kind of awesome. :)

I had a nice trip to my local library. My heart is happy.

Donate to Wikipedia. Do it today, and every time one of the broligarchs has a tantrum because he can’t buy it

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! @shortwavebooks.bsky.social @beckylejeune.bsky.social

Relevant reading. #poetry #amreading

It was a good writing day. 🙂

It’s going down this weekend.
