We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

I'm in! Will I see you there? ✍️

“Frog, do not worry,” cried Toad. “I am coming to help you!”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

A haunted house but it’s just the Democrats whispering “Trump doesn’t care about inflation” and “what about the price of eggs” while a horrifying demon slowly devours you

Judge John D. Bates of the D.C. Federal District Court has ordered the CDC to temporarily restore pages removed from its website to comply with Trump’s executive order barring references to race, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.

Ketchup On Walls Alert: HIGH

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

The afternoon crow and snow sparkle. ❄️

When my second novel (Glamour in Glass) came out, the first sentence was inexplicably missing. So I handwrote it in at all of my signings.

I think I heard some screaming when I was writing this.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Absolutely thrilled that "Woolworth" was selected for Best Microfiction 2025! 💙

As someone whose book is coming out in the back half of this year, could publications please stop issues “MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2025” lists that are actually just books coming out in Jan-April 🙏

“I take cues from the hospice nurse: how she pinched the air where annoying invisible candles flickered in another patient’s room, extinguishing the unseen wicks.” Gorgeous tiny story by @danbillyc.bsky.social

I Can’t Go On. I’ll Go On. Alfredo Jaar, 2016 Neon Pérez Art Museum Miami

Goals for 2025: 1. befriend crows 2. galvanize crow base 3. unleash crows

Everything going well.

Many thanks to The Mookse and the Gripes Podcast for these fabulous signed books! The Postcard has been on my list, and I’m thrilled for the chance to read Gabriële before its publication next year. @mookse.bsky.social @bibliopaul.bsky.social

Need an “emergency phone call” to get out of an event? A bunch of angry texts from your boyfriend? From your bookie? A call from work that forces you to leave a family thing? I got you! Buy House of Bone and Rain in any format and send me proof, a phone number, and instructions.

I know no one wants to do this, but please wear an N95 in planes, trains, buses, & airports/stations this holiday. You don’t want to pick up illness on the way to vacation or to grandma. These masks work. I have not had a virus of any kind in over a year & I have been on many planes & trains. 😘
