The fam and I went to a protest today at our local library. It was moved inside due to weather, and we didn't get to see much because they had more than 4 times the number of people they expected — and we were overflowing the overflow room.

Watching a police show and the victim is a crazy "eco-warrior" — and the things they describe him doing are all things I do? Garden, rain barrels, canning your own jam... (Only thing I don't have in common is solar — yet!)

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I would doomscroll less if there was less doom to scroll. 🤷🏻‍♀️

On the night she was shot, Julia Cartwright wasn’t thinking about magic. #WIP #WritingCommunty #AmWriting #SkyWriters

This would be amazing.

One of my favorite insults in my WIP is when a dandy vampire insults some witches by calling them "off-the-rack suits." #AmWriting #SkyWriters #WritingCommunity

WOO! Thank you Senator!

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

My husband is going to his research job this morning not knowing if he will have a job after today. He’s in biological research in kidney disease. He mentioned, if they can’t pay to feed the mice for their study, the mice will die and all their work will be gone.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I bake my own sourdough bread, and preserve food, and grow a food forest not in a tradwife way but in an I'm preparing to care for my family and community in the coming apocalypse / revolution kind of way.

I do a little resistance every day. As a treat.

I'm having popcorn for lunch again. I did also have an orange to fend of scurvy.

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

Today I watched Twin Peaks, participated in a coaching call, journaled, and worked on my outline for my novel revision. Because I'm not participating in the farce going on elsewhere. I'm trying not to feed the trolls with my attention.

WOW! 300 followers! I'm Lacy, I'm revising my fantasy/noir mystery novel, I work as a marketing consultant building business owners into thought leaders, and I'm 3 years into turning our 1/4 acre suburban lot into a food forest.

These next four years are gonna be tough: 🌈 Pace Yourself 🌈 Protect Yourself 🌈 Take it One Day at a Time 🌈 Connect & Care For Your Community Pass it on Thanks @hrc.org for the reminders

What are the ramifications if I just eat popcorn for every meal?

I while back I did an exercise to list your top 10 favorite stories & then look for common themes between that and what you like to write. My common theme was around stories that explore the intersection between the normal world and everything else. Twin Peaks was on my list. RIP David Lynch.

This is kind of a cool tool. It's labeled politicians with their 3 largest corporate donors and what 3 industries influence them. After subscribing to this, you will see politicians' accounts labeled accordingly. @us-gov-funding.bsky.social #USDemocracy
