It's Read an eBook week & Smashwords is celebrating! Up to 50% off, including my solo titles. The titles I wrote with Pepper Espinoza are 25% off. It's a great way to try out new-to-you authors! #booksky www.smashwords.com www.smashwords.com/profile/view... www.smashwords.com/profile/view...

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

My February reads, a month for (mostly) reading to escape. I loved the McGuire and Raybourn books more than any I've read in months. The flipside to this are 5 books I DNF'd for various reasons. #booksky #readingwrapup #februaryreads

I logged out of Facebook today in addition to the economic blackout and shocked myself with how many times I automatically went to it in between word sprints. No thinking involved. Signs of a problem, clearly, and one I'm going to have to address from here on out.

Have new-to-me series to devour: Deanna Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell mysteries. I read "A Curious Beginning" after really enjoying "Killers of a Certain Age" last year & absolutely fell in love. So smart and funny, glad I found it when there were already 7 books b/c now don't have to wait! #booksky

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Extra! Extra! 2/23 👏🏼👏🏼 open.substack.com/pub/chopwood...

I'm late to Seanan McGuire but man am I in love with her voice. This is the first time I've ever highlighted lines just to remember when it wasn't for a lit class or book club. #booksky

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Late Valentine date for me and hubby. So excited, I’ve loved Mandy Patinkin for decades!!!! #lesher #datenight

Have hit the 3/4s writing slump on my WIP. Been sitting here at my laptop for over an hour, frozen by indecision on whose POV this next pivotal scene has to be in. Even tho it happens on every single story, hate this feeling soooooooo much. #writing

Was talking about the guys in my WIP w/hubby last night, and he commented that their names, when said together, sounded like something else that I cannot now unhear. 60k in, and can't believe I might have to change a main character's first name when he lives in my head as something else. #writing

Next book on the TBR. I read “Killers of a Certain Age” last year and loved it, so I went digging into her backlist to see what other goodies I could find. #booksky

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

I love "Somebody Somewhere" so much I've been parsing out the remaining episodes to make it last longer. Finally finished today. Don't think I went through an episode w/o both crying and laughing. Just love these characters so much and will miss them terribly. Everybody needs a Joel in their life!

it seems likely that trans works are gonna be heavily-suppressed over the next four years and this is one of the few sites that isn't yet playing along so: if you want to keep abreast of what trans authors are up to, follow these fine folks go.bsky.app/VaypaqC

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

Next up for reading. Read and loved so much of her fiction so really looking forward to this. #booksky

For Valentine's Day and in celebration of love of all types, JMS Books is having a sale this weekend, 40% off all ebooks. It's a great way to check out new to you authors, not to mention the recent charity anthology, "Love Is Free," is only $3.89! www.jms-books.com/products_new... #booksky #lgbtq+

The sun finally came out today so we could pick and wash the remaining grapefruit on our tree to drop off at the food bank this weekend.

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.” ~Margaret Atwood The Handmaid’s Tale

As the military under Pete Hegseth rolls back recruiting for minority Americans remember that black women are the only reason the Army met its recruiting goals last year. Not enough white men qualify to even serve no matter volunteer. They'll learn when recruiting collapses and it ain't "wokeness."

We’re careening toward a constitutional crisis, where the executive branch may refuse to obey federal court orders to stop their illegal actions with departments and agencies. So what now? Read my write-up: https://buff.ly/3QbkDZx

Since we're not football people, the one thing I love about Super Bowl Sunday is that I can go to the store once the game starts and have my weekly grocery shopping done in record time.

Most books I read get pulled from bottom of TBR. I go into 75% of those w/o knowing much of what it's about (b/c it's been there for a couple years). Usually works OK. Today's? A tale about fascist America where president is "the TV Tyrant." Big fat nope. My anxiety couldn't handle it. #booksky

I started using 4thewords to get back in groove of writing full-time, which meant I had to do about 400 words each day while I was sick to maintain my streak. Which means that today - the first day I've felt like myself - was trying to fix the godawful mess I created doing that. #writing

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.

THANK YOU! This action is inspiring! @maxwellfrost.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Another good thing about being sick? Getting to binge shows I missed without feeling an ounce of guilt. Just finished "Nobody Wants This" and am so in love with all of it.

Only good thing about being sick in is getting to go through my TBR. #booksky
