First pages are hard. During my first 10Queries session for RevPit, I stopped in the middle of my thread to give some advice (I could go on all day, really!) to writers who are working on these all-important pages. You can find the full thread here: bsky.app/profile/jeni... #writingcommunity

Thank f*ck Crawford won 😭. I'm proud of my fellow Wisconsinites who knew what needed doing! We also managed to keep Underly in for superindendent. And outside of Wisconsin, Cory Booker has done amazing things! There's still hope out there. #KeepFighting
