This is Alvin. He is 19 years old but still likes to be held like a baby. Because he still is a baby. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

An orphaned wolf pup named Amora has been paired with a rescue puppy named Slinky. Amora needs socialization to develop properly and Slinky is happy to provide it. Sedgwick County Zoo shared that "Slinky’s playful nature is helping her grow into the wolf she is meant to be." 13/10 for both

Good morning. Puppy for you.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you will do something about it

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

I'm so sad about Books Inc Berkeley, I needed a puppy fix. Here is one for you, too.

My beloved Books Inc in Berkeley is closing Feb 9 as they file for Chapter 11. I've found many wonderful reads there, had book events there, and spent many happy hours browsing. I will absolutely continue to support @booksinc.bsky.social at other locations but will miss my neighborhood store!

Same. When I start a new book, I wonder, "how do people write books," even tho' I've written six already.

Anyone have a debut book coming out this spring? Tell me about it — it’d be nice to hear about something nice! Your first book only happens once, friend!

Today I had to return a book I wasn’t finished #reading to the library because someone had it on hold. Reader, I was the one who had it on hold.

Here is some morning inspiration to send out your work, writers. And, in my case, to finish my work so I can send it! #writing

I don't know what part of my brain needs to hear this, but I'm allowed to use two bowls, one for my yogurt and one for my muesli instead of reusing and having muesli stuck in my yogurt

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.

Have decided to move my newsletter from Substack to Ghost after reading posts by @gruber.foo @anildash.com & others. Just tested exporting directly from @obsidian.md to Ghost...super-easy. Thanks @jridpath.bsky.social for the nudge.

Grateful for all of the authors of the books I loved as a kid, inspiring me to write my own #kidlitchat

There's a #Kidlitchat at 9PM Eastern/6PM Pacific tomorrow right here on Bluesky. You might wonder, is 24 hours really enough lead time for you to get into the mood for the chat? And the answer is, you were BORN for this chat. (Also, no lead time is really needed. But shhhhh.). See ya there!

Hi Writers, let's get writing in the new year. Join me online for #GetUnstuck in January at #WritingWorkshops. You love to write, or perhaps you find it torture. Either way, you wish you were doing more of it. writingworkshops.com/collections/...
