I am now in San Antonio. Things only got weirder. Well, have to wake up early for my flight to Orlando! See you at 6pm at Writer’s Block Bookstore! PLEASE COME.

So that explodey noise was an equipment malfunction so they’re…*chuckles*…got to have to make the plane really hot to restart the engines. Which will be at some point.

Siri, when does a flight turn into a kidnapping?

Maureen Johnson @maureenjohnsonbooks.com · 16h

The plane just made a bit of an explodey noise. It’s fine. I accept whatever comes next.

It’s 40 minutes back to San Antonio. We have a fully refueled plane. My mouth feels like I just ate a paint sample. The sky is dark and we’re entering a flood zone. Hit it.

They’ve locked us in again. We’re flying back into the storm.

Maureen Johnson @maureenjohnsonbooks.com · 16h

They gave us snacks but they taste like chemicals and I think they may be rancid. We’re all gagging on them. American Airlines, you’re nailing it!

I have started a revolt in which everyone is now raiding the first class galley. No warfare but class warfare. You can pry deez nuts from my cold, clammy hand.

The spoils of my raid. A empty packet of nuts.

Things are getting spicy on American Airlines flight 1391.

Maureen Johnson @maureenjohnsonbooks.com · 16h

I just stole food from the first class galley to feed the others. We must band together to survive.

Oh my gid they won’t let us off.

Republicans have literally delayed two tour events so far and I am only in my second stop.

Maureen Johnson @maureenjohnsonbooks.com · 17h

I think we are trapped. Send help. Release us! *presses face to window*

Maureen Johnson @maureenjohnsonbooks.com · 17h

Still on plane. We do not know if they will let us off. Atmosphere getting feral. Maybe I will be in Dallas. Maybe they are taking us somewhere else. But I did get this photo.

Hello from an airplane. One that was supposed to be going to San Antonio. We got there, circled for an hour, and then were diverted to Dallas. Where we can’t get off. Because Trump is here.

AZ: tell me about Andy Biggs because I am stuck in the green room area (separate rooms) with him.

UPDATE! DOG ACHIEVED! Small dog hopped in my lap, delivered kisses. You just have to position yourself and be open to the possibilities, she said, scanning the area furiously.

I wanted positive vibes ones for this specific trip. But you know my vibes are CHANGEABLE.

I keep forgetting that I am wearing a shirt that says TRANS KIDS ARE AMAZING. I got a few dirty looks and one "I like your shirt!" I wear the shirt simply for people who are afraid that other people are judging them right now and it's easier to put it all out there on the shirt.

Woke up on a soft Arizona morning. Having coffee and going over the schedule for the day. Saw (but did not PET) a dog. Going to be on PBS later today in Phoenix before Changing Hands event, and I see a DOG CAFE over there. PRO TIP: always see if there is a dog/cat cafe.

It is SO good, y’all. I don’t know anyone out there who does “amateur sleuth solves cold case murders” as well as Maureen does right now… especially in depicting how continual proximity to murder, even with historical distance, can seriously mess with your head.

“Why were these men allowed to “pursue their education in a secure and nourishing environment” and she was not? Why was she not informed of the outcome of her own Title IX investigation? Who benefited from the 23 months of elapsed time when the public knew nothing?”

Dr. G is one of the very best--and can you imagine if we could get corporations out of healthcare? If we could--imagine it--let doctors determine how best to treat us? WE CAN DO IT.

I think if you cover a few Atlantic Transmissions, you could get away with six.

The Velvet Knife is out in FOUR DAYS. The suitcase is out of the closet. The packing checklists are printing. The travel sized items are lined up. The rats are sewing my clothes. The hawk is wrapping the pre-orders. My submarine is coming up the river.

What I'm saying is a full album of "Paul F. Tompkins Sings the Great Philadelphia Commercials" is an idea.

Maureen Johnson @maureenjohnsonbooks.com · 25/09/2026

@pftompkins.bsky.social I got very excited about your invocation of Philadelphia commercials on the latest Neighborhood Listen. I was holding my breath for a Lou Zumuda, King Of Vertical Blinds. Or a Boss's Wife from Atlantic Transmissions. But was still thrilled by your choice.

My friend Dan makes a great point. These systems don't work for us anymore--we work for them. Posting is formulaic and the algorithms break the flow.
