Swalwell: The stock market is crashing, and prices are rising. This guy has gone to the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and a UFC fight. He should go to the fucking supermarket and see what people are spending to feed themselves

Be a quaint cobblestone street in a world full of crowded highways.

Someone just asked “why read the book when you can watch the movie?” and long story short there comes a time when you must acknowledge that a friendship has run its course.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Support your community, whatever it may be. Mine is the writers community (I'm a poet), and absolutely read things that makes bigots angry. 🙂

There are many things I'd like to say about what is going on in this country right now, but I'll simply say that my heart is shattered and my empathy is with anyone who is fearful of what is coming next. So many people led by hate, led by their hateful leader. I wish I could make it better.

I know it doesn't matter much, and I've posted about this before, but in these sad times, if you'd like to support indie artists and micro-presses, now is a great time. My chapbook came out last year, and I'd love for you to read it. #poetry #chapbook #thedaysheleft payhip.com/b/dowtz

The world is on fire and no one really cares. Humanity is such an utter failure.

The Chinese are spying through TikTok? Well, I just watched Twitter and Facebook deliver a convicted felon, rapist, half-illiterate racist as president, who incited an insurrection and is compromised by Russia. So forgive me if I'm not worried about TikTok. You can't go lower than rock bottom.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. 🎄💖

Confess your unbridled love to me in a candlelit library in Vienna during a full moon on a cold winter’s night before passionately kissing me, or kindly stop wasting my time.

It's a good day to be a New Jerseyan. PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law Monday to prohibit public and school libraries from banning books in the state and to enshrine protections against civil and criminal charges for librarians who comply with the law.

I guess I'll have to keep at it, then. 🤷‍♀️

Winter makes me a bit more, um, frisky. I don't know why this is, but I feel like taking some photos today. Damnit Brenna, get a hold of yourself.

Kiss me passionately in the secluded corner of a used bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a raging thunderstorm, or kindly stop wasting my time.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “books and cinnamon rolls” when someone asks what your weekend plans are.

Introverts can spend hours in their own heads and not get bored—it’s like their brain has Wi-Fi to infinite worlds.

Introverts don’t hate people - they just recharge differently. A quiet night in feels like a spa day for their brain. #introvert

Surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, bakery, bookstore, and café.

Happy Colonizers Day or whatever. I did make a pie, though. The baking shall never cease.

It was nice to sneak out for a bit and have a tasty latte and walk around a cute little town. I feel myself the most when winter nears. Now, I need to get back to writing.

MAGA is crying that their relatives don't wanna spend Thanksgiving with them. Good. 🍿

I have been hopelessly blocked lately, ever since the election. It's making everything worse.
