I can't decide which email from Amazon is more annoying. - the multiple royalty payment emails. Like...just one please. - "load your manuscript" emails. Yes, thank you for telling me repeatedly that I have a preorder. - "We found something you'll like." Fuck yourself. I'm not spending right now.

Ya'll standing 10 toes on business with Amazon and low buy. My Amazon royalties are on track to be about $400 less than usual this month, and I'm usually pretty steady every month. Kind of interested to see what my Hoopla stats will be to see if those will be up.

Look. I may not know much, but if Kylie Kelce had been tweeted about by Trump and had to hire extra security after endorsing Trump's opponent and then Jason was asked how he felt about the prez being at SB...Jason would have defended his girl. That's why he's the superior Kelce. Fight me.

Shh Come close. Everyone shocked by Tom Cruise's face at the Superbowl. What if...? Nah. (Shakes head) But what if...? It's because he's in his 60s?

Did an author event today. More readers asked, "Are your books in KU?" or "Are your books found in libraries?" I only sold a handful of print copies but handed out a ton of cards with eBook info. I've been doing events for 3 years. There was a definite different vibe. Something is coming.

Librarians are going to be your conduits to community education and liberty with all these cuts to education. Fight like Hell to keep your libraries going. Show them support. Get library cards, and if your states and towns aren't protecting them, MAKE NOISE.

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Lets get some things out of the way. I am absolutely shocked that people are saying they didn't know they could call reps. I call or email mine regularly. I'm literally shook, ya'll. Informed voting and actually calling your reps is the bedrock of democracy. Start using it.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Just to be clear, if you have a child with a 504 plan and you voted for Trump, how do you feel about your child's 504 being toasted?

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump:

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Got my hair done in suburban Missouri today. Overheard three older white women talking about current events which never happens. One woman blamed trump for firing transportation workers for crash. One talked about media and Trump misinformation. Things are happening. People are talking in person.

Just to recap: prices are worse, planes are colliding, we’ve been spitting on the Constitution, citizens have less rights then they did last week, we’re building concentration camps…BUT.. the good news is that children in schools are scared for a reason other than bullets for a change. 🤷‍♀️

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.
