Cruel and usual punishment from Texas @govabbott.bsky.social: Even though an estimated 3.75 million children could have eaten free school lunches this summer, Abbott vetoes funding. Because kids can’t vote? Or their parents don’t? Or just out of pure meanness? apple.news/AOGNagGMcTYW...

The long and winding road to research #Unspoken meant driving 600 miles across #Texas in many directions, following old maps I'd located by click, delving into pages and pages of out-of-print books...and now I have a series of historical novels #mondayblogs www.jannalexander.com/post/new-his...

🌟 Excited to share my writing journey that took me over miles and miles of Texas! From four wheels to clicks, and pages in between, I spent ten years researching to create a historically accurate but wickedly fictional novel buff.ly/YtrZYlG #WritingJourney #HistoricalFiction #Unspoken #MondayBlogs

My first job after graduating was in a small family-run Italian restaurant. I think the most valuable thing I learned there was how to toast chopped garlic in a sauté pan to get maximum flavor before adding other ingredients to the pan. ~ @RobertMFuller.bsky.social #Cooking

Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom & the abolition of slavery But our freedoms are under attack: our freedom to live w/o racial discrimination, provide for our families, & come home safely to our loved ones EPI will continue to fight for an economy & a nation that is equitable for everyone

A contradiction. In under 4 years, how quickly things have changed: In 2021: #Juneteenth was established as a federal holiday by Congress to recommit to "equity, equality, and justice," but in 2025 Trump has made diversity, equality, and inclusion dirty words. apple.news/ARl0xhIMrTDu...
