One of my favorite conversations that I ever had with my friend George. Me: Have you ever read the Diary of Opal Whiteley? George: I don't know. What's it called? Me: The Diary of Opal Whiteley. George: Who wrote it? Me: Opal Whiteley. George: What's it about? Me: Opal Whiteley.
Oof. Just got plane tickets for my kids to visit in Dec. There wasn't wiggle room on their travel dates because my son is starting a new job this week. It is an absolute luxury for them to fly to Okinawa & I'm excited for their visit. But also, please consider buying one of my books. 😂 Links in bio
We have decided to watch this game without sound.
In other news, last week I went back to the shop where I got the teapot for the @romancingthevote.com auction and OMG I want one of these. But to justify the cost, I need to start drinking tea. But every time I look at teas in the stores here I'm overwhelmed. 😂
If we're going to make Abdul El-Sayed answer for everything Muslims do, then we should ask every Christian politician whether they consider Jeffress a fake Christian or if they agree with him that public executions reflect Christian teaching and ideology

Here are the final moments of yesterday's Naha Great Tug-of-War Festival. I'm standing right next to some of the rope pullers on the winning (East) team. It was so much fun!
Good morning! We are up very early to watch the football. Already a turnover. Need more coffee.
We have arrived at the rope for the Naha Great Tug of War
My jaw is on the floor. This is total pseudoarchaeological nonsense. It's legit off the walls bananapants.
And now that I've mentioned the vet bills (emergency care, insulin, ongoing tests) plus child support, it's time for a promo post for my new release so we can keep Malala in diabetic kitty food! FALSE FLAG - now available in digital, print, and audio buy now: geni.us/FalseFlag
Malala's blood tests came back mostly positive & she & Jocelyn are adjusting to their new routine. Here is the requisite pet tax. Malala is not pleased with having a feeding schedule (she likes small snacks all day), so she's following Jocelyn around the house w/her stuffed hamster demanding food.

My daughter is taking care of our cat while we're in Okinawa. Malala went through the blood tests and quarantine process and was all set to move here as of a year ago, but the 40-day notification for the Japanese government before she catches her overseas flight made timing difficult.
We can still get 3k+ whistles out the door to people in need in under 24 hours and they are free.
People in California who are facing a terrible ICE surge: remember that if you need whistles, we are still sending them out for free. In fact, we just passed 1.7 million whistles sent out. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Ancient Aliens & other pseudoarchaeology TV shows/podcasts are not harmless entertainment. The purpose is to separate Indigenous people from their cultural history to support white supremacy. We need our own art & entertainment to combat disinformation pseudoscience, which is why I wrote FALSE FLAG

My romantic thriller is now available! I wrote FALSE FLAG to inform casual fans of disinformation "entertainment" about the dangers of pseudoarchaeology. An archaeologist risks everything to stop a disinformation podcaster from using his influence to incite violence. Buy now: geni.us/FalseFlag
This is brilliant. Romance has long been a giant in the publishing world (it outsells any other fiction genres). It's got incredibly potential for reaching a large number of people.
