A friend of mine told me I "give vegetarian" Which then made me feel guilty cause I... am not

I'm working on my website and I realize I don't know how to write about myself without rambling, which according to my mother is great because "that's exactly who you are!" #Author #Writer #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Say Yes to the Dress gave me unreasonable expectations of wedding dress shopping because what do you mean you're supposed to know which one is THE ONE?! My friend tried on 10 dresses and each one I was like "yes, this" "Oh, no, this one" "THIS ONE"

"you'll be left behind--" buddy i do not want to get where you are going. you didn't leave me, i jumped

[watching megacorps pulp truckloads of rare books to train the very bots that are tanking our collective literacy] so weird that academics hate this, must be some kind of echo chamber

Fossil fuel companies spent over $100M/year selling the "carbon footprint" idea. Let's replace it, with a new model for collective action: "the carbon wave." Here's a sneak peek into my book, a carbon wave calculator + book tour dates. Would love to see you IRL! electricnotes.news/p/how-big-ca...

I've fallen down the political rabbit hole again (which honestly happens every day I just really restrain the reposting cause... it would be thousands?) SO ummm, here's something about #writing!! I just used stickies to sort my notebook by category & I feel so smart 💁‍♀️ #WritingCommunity #Author

Hahahahhahaha I love it here. Everything is so so good! I'm not scared of eating food at all!!!

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle. That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year. Money in politics is sickening.

Ted Lasso being back on TV is honestly giving me life. It is also an added bonus because my dog is obsessed with Brett Goldstein. No one knows why, but if he hears "Brett Goldstein" he goes a little nuts

It's wild that people are dying from heat waves, everything is on fire, climate change runs unchecked while governments keep twiddling their thumbs, AND YET when possible harm comes to the fake grave of a FICTIONAL character, it is enough to divert a power line's construction.. idk maybe I'm crazy

So many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...

Hundreds rally at site were Haitians required to check-in, get monitors after end of TPS

Hundreds of people gathered outside a federal immigration office Sunday morning to show support for Haitian immigrants from Springfield who were called to report for immigration check-ins.

Hi! Things are sad and scary, so here's a beautiful song with beautiful harmonies that may or may not make you cry (it made me cry, but that's not saying much these days lol)

Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?

Shoutout to the lovely film festivals that decided to follow me and bump me to 100 followers! Woooo! Fingers crossed this book gets optioned 🤪 But yay we're at 100!!! That's so cool! #Writer #WritingCommunity #Author

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

We do not live in a civil society so long as there are “prison industry giants.”

Prison industry giant CoreCivic announced Monday that it has finalized a five-year federal contract to reopen a long-shuttered prison in Appleton that will now hold immigrant detainees.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Gonna start doing lil cartoons on daily life occurrences. Like, the lemon in the dishwasher, the burning spoon, and the case of the missing bread ends. Let's see if I can keep my stories under 300 characters shall we? (the life of an author on sub 🤪) #Writer #Illustrator #WritingCommunity

Fae: “Tell us your true name.” Me: “…Just my name? No birthdate, no SSN, no fingerprint scan, no address, no mother’s maiden name? Are you sure you’ve even got the right Olivia Waite? There’s like six.” Fae: “What the hell kind of bargains have you been making?” Me: “They call it health insurance.”

Things You Learn as a Caregiver: Part 767 Some immunotherapy drugs come in packs of 28. For the month. 28. Because all 12 months of our calendar definitely have 28 days. Not just that 1 month. No, no. You have to order the "extra" days separately.

Alright #WritingCommunity and #BookSky - what are our thoughts on Ghost vs. Beehiiv vs. Substack? (really trying to avoid the latter due to morals...) I'm trying to figure out community building but navigating the socials landscape is like the floor is lava but instead of lava, its fascism

So I've started ballroom dancing again which is amazing and wonderful and makes me really want to read a good enemies to lovers ballroom book.... any recs? #Writer #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Author

There's nothing quite like sifting through 4 different notebooks to gather all the random ideas for one novel that you've dispersed in the most haphazard of ways #Writer #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Author

Pup has been far too quiet so I went looking and found him lying with his sheet between his paws, staring mournfully at the couch (he must sit on a sheet because his fur gets everywhere) It's his way of telling me to stop working and pay attention to him #Writer #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Author

Ooh baby this draft is so bad 🤪 I'm so proud of myself #Writer #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Author

I'm having a bit of trouble writing these days (I wonder if the collapse of society has anything to do with it... probably not, right? Right???) Anyway, instead of saying I'm blocked, I'm saying that my brain is just a little full of fluff at the moment #Writer #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #Author

Hey does anyone else vividly remember dreams they had as children? I had a couple recurring nightmares and I can still picture them so clearly decades later #Writer #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #Author

Please avoid all salads, including word.

Just finished a Legendborn Cycle reread and have to reiterate that @tracydeonn.bsky.social is a genius. These books are incredible and poignant and powerful and everyone should read them. Also told my mom I just reread them and she said "Now I have to reread them too!" #BookSky #Writer #Author
