Super excited to receive this box of books today!

Take this opportunity to teach your children to think critically.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

That part 👇🏻

Call your representatives. Doing nothing isn't an option. This app is incredible. www.5calls.org There are numbers and scripts to read.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Trump and Musk are basically ignoring the Constitution they--Trump, at least--took an oath to defend.

Just finished marking up the manuscript of my current novel. Not sure if I want to be happy, sad about all the additional work I have to do, or just take a nap.

I'm so excited to share my new story with the world. This book is full of action and adventure. amzn.to/40ViiXC #fiction #western #newreads

There needs to be a word for when you take a nap and wake up MORE tired.

So I released a new novel today. It felt like the right time because my story is one where one individual takes a stand for justice during a time of corruption and fear. amzn.to/4gsEWfT

my psychiatrist asked how my year was going so far and i just stared at her for a second

Write your book, tell your story even when it feels like your entire world is falling apart. Choosing love is a great way to combat hate.

Remember whilst its important to be informed of the news, its also important to take care of you and your bodies. Rest, find ways to escape. Its OK to laugh and feel joy even in the midst of so much being wrong. That's how we survive. Don't let evil deny you that.

Know what helps more than reading more terrible news? Making stuff. Being creative. Listening to music. Playing with a pet. Basically all of the things that make you happy and bring you joy are EXACTLY what to do.

Hope isn’t naïve. It’s necessary.

Don’t let this Mavs-Lakers trade distract you from what’s really important right now.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

Hey @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social Rage Against The Machine is needed now more than ever.

Right NOW is a great time to start writing or creating something. Even if you think you're not creative, making stuff is a great way to manage the stress and anxiety and dread that come from what's happening now in 2025.

Like I said: Quiet coup www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Never underestimate how huge the daily battle is to keep your heart from cynicism.

Excuse me while I binge on Gilmore Girls to ignore the evil circus for a while.

I find getting others to like and follow on social media without being a self promoting faker is the most exhausting thing in the world. Major respect for anyone on social who can do it and be authentic.

How about some HAPPY news? I'm helping a 3rd grade class write their very own book! I'm helping a grandfather finish a book he's written for his grandkids! I have my very first western novel coming soon! Here's a sneak peak.

Sometimes I just think about how Musk shared a graphic last year that featured a bunch of heroines of YA dystopia, essentially aligning himself with some kind of resistance effort. Yeah. A billionaire who somehow got to where he is because he's so "against the system." That's totally how that works.

Don’t give into the lies. Don’t give into the fear.

Hooray @bookshop-org.bsky.social !

Starbucks just went from 11.99 a bag to 13.49 a bag in one week at my local grocery store. Let's think, what has changed over the LAST week??

Finishing a book is interesting. You can see the finish line off in the distance, but if you're not careful it's easy to trip on the plotholes...err...potholes...right in front of you. Keep going!!!

Daily reminder that AI destroys the environment, erases the monetary and human cost of labour and increases profits for shareholders. All that will remain are billionaires in their bunkers until their manufactured air runs out. Oh, and eggs will still be expensive.

Reminder for everyone: Get a library card. Visit your local library. Check out books (especially banned books). Use the other resources. Attend library events. Utilize an important part of your community that is FREE! Don't let them forget its importance. #booksky 📚💙

I have some unhealthy coping strategies in the face of despair but my healthiest one is to make something new.

As best you can, ignore him.

I need a word for what it feels like when you want to scream, cry, and vomit at the same time.

How about Mariska Hagitay kicking ass in an R-rated Liam Neeson-style action picture? I'd go see that.

I feel so seen.
