These fired federal workers were stewards of tax payer dollars. That’s why firing 121,000 of them has caused government spending to go UP. Federal employees save more money than they cost. For example, the VA paid me $120K a year and I saved them $60M a year.

I love the support indie bookstores get. They deserve it. But it saddens me that indie authors don’t get the same support. Indie bookstores largely won’t stock indie books and we’re the most hard hit by the online boycott. It would be nice if indie book stores could return the support we give them.

Just finished “Feel the Bern” (a cozy mystery by Andrew Shaffer). I accessed it on audio through Hoopla—if you need a little chuckle to ease your political woes, you really can’t go wrong with this one! The narration was especially good and there was plenty of Bernie-infused 🤣. Up next…B.O. & J.B.

Sometimes you just need to get back to basics. I went to our local Maker Space with my mom and the 12-YO and met this fascinating young man who collects trash from local rivers and forests and then turns it into art.

If you’ve ever felt touched by a book on a personal level, why not go ahead and write that short #bookreview? It tells the author, “more of this please!” I know my work isn’t perfect. There’s no such thing as perfection in the arts. And no one work with speak to all readers. But it speaks to some!♥️

On the current administration’s list of banned words: “men”, “woman,” “women”. Let me know when you feel this finally applies to you. On a positive note, the singular “man” appears to still be safe, so as long as you males walk alone, you’re probably still ok. Just remember to carry mace.

Looking for sensitivity readers tied to the Irish community! ☘️✨ If you love holiday-themed cozies, found family, and have ties to the Irish community, please consider being a sensitivity reader today! #ImmigrantStories #FoundFamily #cozymystery

Image contains mostly text (asking for sensitivity readers tied to the Irish community) who can offer feedback on elements of my new cozy mystery, “The Wild Rover Returns”. There is also a small image of the book cover for this book. The image contains the book title and a picture of a chocolate lab sitting on a stack of suitcases.

This image contains mostly text. It highlights some of the major themes/tropes featured in this cozy mystery, including found family, positive immigrant representation and positive disability representation. It also features the beginning of the dedication to this book (which honors the author’s female immigrant ancestors).

This image features a newspaper clipping of Dorothy Hayden Cuddahy, first female grand marshal of the NYC St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1989. There is also text explaining the significance of her contribution to the Irish community and her relationship to the author (first cousin once-removed).

This image again features mostly text and ties the dedication to the storyline of “The Wild Rover Returns”. The text points out that a big part of the storyline is tied to the tough decisions people have to make when living in immigrant communities.

People who don’t include disability liberation in their understanding of social justice will never make sense to me. Like what do you MEAN you oppose sexism, racism, and classism, but the minute the lived reality of that oppression starts showing up physically, all your energy just evaporates?

Getting older definitely has its benefits. Last night I was kept awake by a hotel room neighbor who had his TV blaring until 3am (We’re out of town for kiddo’s hockey game). Anyway, I learned that if I sleep on my right side, high pitched sounds are less noticeable than when I sleep on my left.

One way to resist? Read more, use the library, buy from local bookstores, post reviews, talk about the books you're reading, read banned books. Anything to do with reading, and books, they seem to hate. Stay educated, and continue reading. #BookSky #ReadBannedBooks #ReadMoreBooks

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

As a reminder when considering your boycott efforts and where to spend your dollars… yes, we loathe Amazon and Bezos. Sadly, this is the BEST avenue for indie authors to get their books seen. If you find a book you want on Amazon, consider reaching out to the (indie) author directly (1) #booksky
