"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Good to know! I’m still relying on KU as I build name recognition, but this looks like something worth considering!

Not obscure at all. The hesitancy in hitting the like button is worrying that we’ll be struck by lightening. I’m not a practicing catholic, but I’m well steeped in the art of guilt.

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.

It takes a #specialkindofstupid to go in guns-ablazin’ like this! Good thing he doesn’t have any real responsibility. Oh wait…

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.

Well, after the courts found them guilty of misleading the public & they had to pay millions in damages, a good chunk of the American public decided, “yup—I’d still rather get my info from there than anywhere else.” Getting rid of Fox won’t help if the majority of Americans choose drama over facts.

Erin Hayden_Bravery Books @ejhayden.substack.com · 15/04/2025

Unfortunately, all Fox wants to talk about is “what does gang activity look like”… and “how do South American gangs grow from interactions with LA gangs”… they refuse to touch the actual story of what is being done to a human and his family.

That’s the tricky part—making classes meaningful for real-time (and in my case, in-person interaction), but still valuable to those to are just observers. It really is an art! One that I’m admittedly still learning to hone.

I teach graduate-level literacy courses in a hybrid format—we meet 5-6 times per semester and the rest is asynchronous. I find even that model challenging. Creating meaningful content that is strictly one-directional never feels natural.

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.

I’m definitely feeling like I picked a good time to finally get divorced. I legally changed back to my maiden name this week and couldn’t be happier! Now I need to get to Motor Vehicles to secure the license. This is insane!

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

I was at SSA recently (for my name change). An elderly man came in without an appointment because he hadn’t received his check. Fortunately, the woman was compassionate and added him into the lineup, but there will come a time when they just can’t. People will starve. People will die.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Your instincts might be right. I think most people setting up honest accounts include bios and pictures. But maybe that’s a faulty assumption.

I’m actually down in sales from March, but I ran a promo with the launch of Book 4 in my series last month, so that was a big help then—not now. I’ve backed off marketing and am trying to refocus on writing, but could definitely use some help from the sales fairies.

I wasn’t in pain, but my mom was (she’s waiting for knee surgery). And I left my T1D tween home with the older kids—I left them with explicit instructions for what to do if they didn’t hear from me by the end of the day. I really didn’t know what to expect & was scared. But that’s also why I went.

Erin Hayden_Bravery Books @ejhayden.substack.com · 08/04/2025

I’m sorry to hear that. I could tell that many people out on Saturday were pushing through pain. Of course the people living with disabilities and chronic illness know how high the stakes are!

They absolutely matter! I would never have guessed that Fort Wayne, IN would have seen the turnout it did yesterday. But there were well over a thousand people there and the energy was so positive. It truly made my heart sing!

I love and respect you Chris. But I’m not sure we have the same definition of “funny.” The fact that the right refuses to acknowledge painful reality makes me want to slam my head into a wall more than 🤣.
