A reminder for CA voters: Sonja Shaw, who endorsed by Moms for Liberty, is running to hold office in our education dept. She's anti-LGBTQ and would absolutely ban books if she wins. Vote for Richard Barrera for CA State Superintendent of Public Instruction. www.kqed.org/news/1210382...

Writers! If you're not losing, spilling, or reheating coffee, are you even a writer? 🤣 If my calculations are correct (which they're likely not) I have encapsulated much of our day into this very scientific breakdown. 🤓 What else did I miss? Also, GO WRITE! 🩵✍️☕️
I'm attending this event (more or less; I have a million other things going on). RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 forest.plotsummit.com #amwriting

Things dug up during research can be haunting. And so can the feelings of inadequacy...and of having your book out in the world for people to comment on....That said, if you've read HEARTLAND, I welcome reviews. A sentence or two is enough! Thx! @steelworksliterary.bsky.social #farming #environment

Oh good another grant rejection. We have applied for 7 grants so far this year, with a bunch more we’ll be applying for this fall. We’ve been rejected by 6, and got runner up for 1 of them, resulting in $1000. Our annual operating budget is 250k. Oh wait that reminds me. Anybody need a tote bag??
