I got to beta read this amazing book about life backstage in London's West End, and it's finally being released. So exciting! Congrats, Stewart Arnott. If you love musical theatre and want a peek behind the curtain, I highly recommend this read! #books #theatre #authors #writers #BookSky

For anyone with a child in college or heading to college who might need student loans or a child with a disability who needs an IEP or other accommodations, contact your representatives NOW. They want to do away with the Dept. of Education.

Canada, You do what you need to do. I don’t think any sane person in the U.S. is going to blame you for sticking up for yourselves in the midst of being bullied. Love, The USA

Tragic #planecrash in DC last night. My airport. Of course, it should never have happened. How does a helicopter hit a major airline? But to immediately spread lies and misinformation is a disservice to those onboard and all the families in mourning right now. Give it time.

You want to get angry? Go look at the White House website. It’s basically one big advertisement for Trump. Such propaganda. Nothing historical there at all. Just all his cronies and his executive actions and a stupid video of him exiting a helicopter. No US Constitution.

BlueSky is my happy place, so I don’t want to bring politics over here too much, but has anyone seen this insanity over at Twitter? Our president is encouraging this behavior. Meanwhile, on TikTok, I get flagged for using the word “idiot” because it goes against community guidelines.

Elizabeth Merck - Editor & Author @elizabethmerck.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Wow. The propaganda with this #TikTok fiasco is ridiculous. China bowing at Trump’s feet. Oh, thank you, President Trump (who isn’t even president until tomorrow). All these bozos thinking he’s some savior. Excuse me while I fetch my barf bag.

Is Trump sleeping with China? What is this message? And how dangerous is it? Very. #TikTok

I’ve been a loyal #GavinDeGraw fan for years. Such an underrated talent. His brother is Republican. They owned that Nashville bar. Huge military supporter. But to agree to perform at Trump’s inauguration is a slap in the face to every female fan - the ones who make or break your career. Bad move.

I loved this book. Even though I was late to the party and it was on my TBR shelf for years, I am so glad it was my first book of 2025. It was heartbreaking in a good way, a love story about two best friends. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ #books #read #writingcommunity #BookSky

I tried to read the book and hated it. I saw the musical in NY and hated it. Tonight I streamed the movie version of Wicked and absolutely loved it. It was freakin’ amazing. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ #wicked

Editing tip of the day: “That” is often a filler word you don’t need. Read your sentence aloud with and without the “that.” If your sentence still makes sense without it, remove it. It’s always best to get your point across without superfluous content that just adds to your word count.

Anyone who I follow who decides to immediately jump in my DMs to tell me about their services isn’t going to earn my business - EVER. It’s desperate and spammy and 100% insincere. #bluesky
