I am so deeply saddened with this news. I had the honor of being at Anne and Stuart’s wedding. It was honestly the most joyful wedding I’ve ever attended. It was sweet, charming, FUN, delicious (of course duh), and truly heartfelt. This loss really is so hard. Anne was an absolute light.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

!! CALL TO ACTION !! #Booksky please join me in the fight to save our libraries. EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.

I just finished this sequel by TJ Klune. *chefs kiss* I LOVED IT SO MUCH! Feel good, chosen family, fantasy, pro love and LGBTQ, imaginative, I will totally read it again. I adore these characters and literally laugh out loud. All the feels. 📚💙

I love little kids with very grown up names. Just now I saw a group of three year olds being walked down the sidewalk all holding a rope w handles. Then I heard, “Watch where you’re going, Maxine!” I wanted to yell so badly, “Yeah get your shi* together Maxine!” 😂 #overheardinnewyork

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?
