Ned, the little niddle in Georgie Karras and the Niddle of Nern. He may be a bit of a know-it-all but there’s no one better to adventure through worlds and time with. #booksky 📚💙 #fantasybooks #middlegrade

The image is of nearsighted, purple fuzzball Ned the niddle.

$67M is a lot but not nearly enough for the dangerous lies they spread.

I’m so sorry I’ve been away a minute! I’m moving and I have FEELINGS about it. Is a new place fun? Sure! Is the packing and organizing and worrying about everything fun? Omg no. I’m an exhausted ball of stress and anxiety. Please send chocolate. #moving #lifeupdate

You absolutely are not. As a fellow Midwesterner from your neighbor to the south, I could not have been happier to see that result. I honestly cried I was so moved. Let’s build back that Midwest Blue Wall! 💙💙💙

My Yiayia was a Wisconsinite. She moved to Chicago at 24 when she married my Papou, but until her dying day told people she was from WI. I know she’s somewhere smiling big today and saying with a proudly and defiantly clenched fist “On Wisconsin!” 💙💙💙

Our feet are in the right place. Stand strong. Boycotts are working. Progress is frustratingly slow and we are up against real evil, but we can make real change. #resist #boycott #standagainstfascists

Can you imagine being so unbelievably self-centered that you think it’s a good idea to hate on a piece of art that you have not read but has a title that doesn’t match up to your exact tastes? No? Me neither. Must suck not to be able to tell when something just isn’t for you.

Growing up in a matriarchal family helmed by strong, confident women was and is a blessing. To all the powerful women who make the world a better, brighter place, I’m profoundly grateful for you and strive to be a force as brilliant and liberating as you are everyday. #internationalwomensday

It may just be me, but has anyone else noticed a shift to the right on LinkedIn? I’m not on there all that often, but I checked it randomly this morning and saw more right wing propaganda than I have seen on FB in a while. What’s going on over there?

Spent the weekend with my bestie in ATL. There were bad movies, belly laughs, and Bomb Biscuits. Also, trivial pursuit and bellinis because that’s very us. Just a couple of nerds doing nerd things. 😆

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

It’s fascinating. And Helena/Helly is so interesting as the villain but also victim. Like her outie seems diabolical but the innie’s body was also put in situations she didn’t have knowledge of which had to be really violating

We fought a war to remove a monarch once. We may not have to line up with muskets or freeze at Valley Forge this time around, but we must fight a legal, moral, and political war to do it again. I will serve no king.

My best piece of advice I can give to any new writer: Find your people. It’s hard and not every group you show up in will be the one for you, but don’t give up. Find that support and I promise this crazy book thing gets 1000x easier. To my #writer people, you know who you are, I’m so grateful 💙📚
