No matter how often I say that today will be the day that I get some writing done after lunch, I still nap.

I’m exhausted from dealing with the things. This is probably most of us.

I finished another serialized novel! What’s next is the question.

‘Tis the season…for baseball, with a side of romance! If you’ve ever wished baseball was a little more inclusive, this series of queer baseball romances from @fallonbrown.bsky.social are what you’ve been waiting for. Kickstarter closes in a few days! What a steal!

I haven’t seen any of the movies, but I’m watching the Oscars anyway—for dresses and unscripted moments. You?

It’s unfortunate that I said life throws curve balls because apparently life took that as a request

Not even noon yet and I already need a nap

Well, I’m trying to organize my closets, documents, photos, art, and stories. The organizing impulse is especially strong these days.

Microsoft Word just suggested I change “He relaxed his hold” to “He relaxed his hole.”

What’s the next likely stage with a network of concentration camps? Forced slave labor. As historian Timothy Snyder urges, CEOs should pledge to not hire these laborers and each of us should pledge not to buy from or invest in companies that do. www.americaamerica.news/p/will-we-to...

I haven’t been sharing much about my writing, but I am writing. One manuscript, The Fairy Tale Asylum, is in the hands of some fellow writers helping me find the plot holes

I’m reading the book “The Soul of the Octopus.” It’s a great read so far. What are you reading this summer?

So I spotted a piece of paper that had been blown into our yard. I went out to retrieve it and throw it away. It turned out to be this artistic masterpiece. 🤣 Apparently I’m not the only artist on the block!

Some students have asked me if I think it’s safe for them to visit their home country. Will they be allowed back into the States? I don’t even know what to say

Going to step away from the ongoing dumpster fire and spend the afternoon writing and sitting on the patio, doggos and husband for company

I’ve been trying to tap that little heart on instagram to show my support for the content but it won’t let me. Anyone else have this problem? Or know a solution?

After a miserable week, I got some writing done.

Kristin Jen should never have been let go. She's the first line of defense. “My life is disintegrating because I can’t work in my chosen field,” says Jenn, 47, from Austin, Texas. “Lump on top of that no support from family – it hits you very hard.” news.yahoo.com/thrust-unemp...

You make one change in the plot and then you realize how many other things will now also have to change.

“The thing Trump and Musk value most of all is money. Their entire regime is best understood as a criminal junta whose end goal is to redirect the wealth of the nation into their own pockets. They are running a kleptocracy, and they’ve figured out that facism is actually the quickest path to riches”

This Executive Order Reveals the Trump-Musk Endgame

A recent order aimed at destroying independent regulatory agencies isn’t just about taking control of the state—it’s a giant cash-grab in disguise.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

I wish I had a picture of my mom in the tee shirt she wore back in the 80s. It was black and the lettering in silver glitter. —“God is coming back and she is pissed.”

Rewriting a novel. The dumpster fire is influencing plot points.

The world is a dumpster fire being rained on by gasoline, but I’ve gotten some solid writing done.
