Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 08/10/2026His friend Putin bombed his own people too and blamed it on the Chechens. Did wonders for his approval rating. Don’t think it will work for Trump. 100
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’m almost 100% sure there is no rice in my book at all (it wasn’t exactly a staple in the medieval world my story is based on) so you have more references than I do. 110

Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 03/10/2026That’s a bribe because he doesn’t want to be impeached and convicted. He stays in office and it means little to him without that last part. 000
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 03/10/2026That would work. I don’t like the idea of unrealized capital gains because what is worth $100k one day could be worth $60k next month (happens with Bitcoin every couple of years). Once you borrow against it if that triggered a tax event I’m all for that. 000

Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I didn’t really think of him much one way or another at the time… the earliest memories I have of him was him on the cover of tabloids. Not a ringing endorsement. Then in 2015 during the primaries… he was the one Republican out of 16 that you could never get me to vote for. 000

Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yep. People don’t learn their history. H*tler’s planned arch was too heavy for the ground and was never built. Washington DC was built on a swamp. Wonder if they’ll have the same problems? 091
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In most of my books, they use candles. Although in my currently untitled work, my character can make flame come out of her hands. But that's a secret, at least in the beginning of the book. #SeptemberWorldBuilders 050
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Well, in 2015 he made a campaign promise to murder the family members of terrorists, and people still voted for him. This year he kept his promise when he murdered the 3 year old granddaughter of a terrorist. I feel so much safer knowing she's gone (/s of course on that last part). 000
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Saturday. We have weekly D&D there. So... 5 days. I currently have two books checked out from the library, but I already finished reading them. I have a couple of books I own that I'm reading though. Got 1929 on hold, so I'll pick it up when it's ready. 110
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Sounds fun! 1. I would have met Alex Haley in my AP History class, but he died the day before. 2. I was married for a short time during college, but it didn't work out. 3. Both my kids were named after elves from fantasy books. #BookSky #TwoTruthsOneLie 041
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 25/09/2026About a year and a half ago, I started keeping a Zettlekasten. It’s basically a way to take organized research notes before you have a project in mind. I note all my sources. It will come in handy now that I have an idea for a nonfiction book. 020
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Funny one of the teachers at the Christian homeschool coop I taught at had pink hair. I don’t know what one has to do with the other. Pink is pretty. 000
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Yeah my mom seems to be getting it. My Grandma had it but, although it made her angry sometimes, it didn’t make her turn into a racist or start treating people like garbage. 010

Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I really do. My query is pretty good, I think. When they ask for a synopsis… ugh. 001
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Post something random and I promise you, your September will be at least a little bit better than it woulda been if you hadn’t posted it. (One of my most recent photos.) 041

When the current president chopped down a slew of cherry trees, he did so in violation of a court order—and didn’t give a shit. 429122693693
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It seems quite on brand for the president to take another name of American indigenous origin and replace it with a name of European origin 😕 000
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I don’t know who this was originally sent to, but I really don’t care if this guy’s head hurts. I didn’t even know there was a membership. Evidently the link goes to a donation page. 000
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Didn’t he say something about the way to get a lot of money was to start a religion? Maybe that’s not exact, but he talked about starting a religion before he did. They’re big into getting you to spend money. I took one of their “classes” when I was in college. 010

Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I remember my first time using Netscape instead of Lynx (a text only web browser). It was amazing. Back then it was pretty much only Yahoo! for finding things, and you could visit almost all the web sites. The internet is more useful now, but back then it was like visiting another world. 060
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 19/07/2026The Pike's Peak Library District has a Carnegie Library. We had to shut it down for a couple of years to remodel it because it wasn't up to the current ADA codes, but it reopened last year (I think). #BookSky 030
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Wrote a story called "Quarantine" for this week's Reedsy Prompt contest. I'm looking forward to being able to share it with you. It's a little different than anything I think I've ever written, but I think it's pretty good, at least. 000
Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Always. I read an article about reading habits in the Atlantic about a week ago and it was truly sad how reading has declined. Although I’m sure most people responding to this are the outliers, the readers. 010

Brooke Lorren @brookelorren.bsky.social · 07/07/2026My coworkers were talking about the pace of technological change yesterday, and I began to wonder what happens to a technologically advanced society when people become increasingly illiterate.
