When I was a little girl, I remember the church minister saying "The devil won't be red with horns. He will be attractive." As a young woman, I learned that attractive men often tell you what you want to hear. As an adult, I know that men that tell you what you want to hear always want to harm you.

He posts this stuff so people will talk about THIS and not his upcoming election interference press conference on Thursday, because if people are talking about THIS instead of THAT, they won't be on the phone with people who can stop him from violating the Constitition.

Why do they think we're obligated to listen anyway? I do not need to listen to arguments in favor of food poisoning. I do not care about the evola virus' thoughts. Things that are clearly bad for me do not get to demand attention.

Advanced praise for Tinker from the Historical Novel Society, Historical Fiction Company, and a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐review from Readers' Favorite! So honored that Tinker has been so loved. No other book of mine has enjoyed such glowing early praise. Can't wait for the Whiskey Rebellion to land in readers' hands.

If I could go back and tell 22 year old me that I would only use my new history of religion degree to go viral talking about the Avignon Papacy on the internet while publishing a novel about the Whiskey Rebellion as our country plummets into a dark ages... 22 year old me would ask for a stiff drink.

Not nervous but would love to work with any of the three editors I picked. I'm craving another round of edits!

I love 10Queries advice. Learned tons from it over the years. I make a list of what resonates, like "best practices" to follow. Forget it exists for a while, then re-write a new query package with your new info as a foundation. Easier than a direct edit from advice that isn't specifically for you!

That tiny sliver of historical makes me sad. Whatever happened to this marvelous genre? 😔

I loved that about your manuscript. Those friendships felt genuine. I never had friendships like that either, and I liked watching them pull for each other.

I am not fully present in anything I do. Preparing the garden. Shopping. I keep thinking some version of "unknown doom ahead, this is futile."

When you justify killing someone because they're bad, you move the scale on what "bad" is. Because the worst one is now gone and the system to do it again is already built. And once you justify killing one "bad man," you become the arbiter of capital justice. The absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Yeah. My wintersown bags of seeds survived, too. Pretty impressive that a few zip lock bags survived under all that ice!

It's melting a little. I started some seeds today, so at least it's starting to resemble a world in which plants could survive.

I can't be the only one who needs a new way to describe this feeling of impending doom. "Impending doom" just doesn't fit anymore

It's VERY close to where an AI data center is being forced down residents' throats, too. They're getting hit from all sides.

We all do, I think. I'm not sure there's any going back, but I'm afraid to say it too loudly because it feels like giving in. No, they must back down. They may not assault us, break into ou homes, and throw toxic chemicals at children.

My first thought was "Oh, there was a battle in Chicago last night and the locals won against the illegal militia of untrained, over-armed thugs. Yay for Chicago!" But it's sports. Thank God.

There's a place for good anger. I put it into this. And I will put it into electing dems in November. I will put it into finding justice because justice is the lever that leads to love.

This woman's cries have carved something out of me and made me really, really raw in a way I can't describe. I'm furious. I'm so damn furious.

Every time I see a picture of this woman, I think about how Queen Victoria wore mourning dress for 40 years after the death of her beloved Albert.

This reminds me of the Amy Poehler podcast conversation with Julia Louis-Dreyfus about how many pics they have on their phones. Except the 72k pics on my phone are all different angles of my cat.

I hope she knows that the government IS the people, and the ones who hold power are there by our will and consent, and when we no longer want them there, we will remove them from office because that's how this works. No matter the form of government, tyrants always fall.
