Please call 202-224-3121 and ask for Representative Juan Ciscomani - Arizona district 6 - and ask him to vote NO today! Remind him his district will lose 100k Medicaid recipients if the budget passes. Also remind him he won his recent election by only 2.5%.

Proud of my city of Worcester, MA. If the rest of the Democratic Party can get inspired by the heart and fortitude of Jim McGovern we’ll have a better chance of defeating this attempted overthrow of our government. #resist ✊

Republicans want to pass a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill — and we need to get loud to stop it: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...

Discovered that my Fidelity Mutual Funds hold TSLA stock. I will contribute to a new fund that doesn’t. I wonder what would happen if thousands upon thousands did the same? #teslatakedown

I’m so angry at what Trump-Musk is trying to do this country and how it’s affecting those I care about the most.

I've been trying to remain calm about what Trump and his pack of hyenas are doing, trying to focus on my day to day: working, writing, attending to those closest to me. It hit me this morning after reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social that I can't sit back anymore.

Hello. I’m David. I am a book addict. #amreading #writingcommunity #amwriting.

It's been just a hair over a year since my Dad passed away, and so I'd like to reshare his favourite story of mine, which was republished and narrated by PodCastle back in 2021. podcastle.org/2021/05/25/7...

This cover of the Modest Mouse song "Neverending Math Equation" fits the mood of my story about a grieving astrophysicist on a quest to resurrect her dead son's consciousness within the singularity of a black hole. What's on your WIP playlist? open.spotify.com/track/47MLKn...

Idk if anything beats the feeling of picking a weird concept in biology and figuring out what equations describe it, then adjusting the equations until the math fits the concept even more accurately, and analyzing what you create … it’s like art

As a writer with ADHD, focus is a mercurial thing. I've got two books on the horizon, but for some reason it's the more distant of the two that's got a lock on my attention at the moment. It's fine, I *am* looking forward to returning to Germany to research this particular legend. GhostBoyPress.com
