When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️ Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home. nycacc.app#/browse/225834

Had my cataract surgery today and have never in my life felt so much like a trussed turkey on an assembly line (doc & anesthesiologist were lovely but everyone had perfected the pretend-we-care routine). Made me nostalgic for my retinal surgery.

If you don't already own a copy of THE BIG REWIND or NEGATIVE GIRL (or haven't left a glowing review!) now would be a really, really good time to do so. I could use the boost, financially and mentally.

Yes yes yes! Note that this book is hard to find (Amazon may have a few copies left, but no other bookseller seems to) but ebooks and the recorded version are available.

The Edgars in NYC was really great until I got back to my table after presenting the award for best novel (yay, Charlotte Vassell) and discovering my bag had been stolen. Hoorah for the person who turned my locked ancient iPhone in to the NYPD at 4 am. Meanwhile, Marriott security is silent.

So it seemed like a super clever idea to take a nonstop flight from Denver and maybe it was but the plane was four hours late and there I was at 4 am in the airport parking lot with a three-hour drive ahead of me and thank goodness for Vermont rest stops where I had a power nap. Home at 10 am.

Almost 30 years ago, a revolutionary idea changed the way Europe regarded road collisions. It has probably saved countless lives but it's yet to be fully accepted by politicians.

The neighbor I routinely take excess eggs to (the girls are laying about a dozen a day) just left me a bag full of homegrown winter squash and onions and I think this is the economy we are headed for, at least in semi-rural America or anywhere with patches of dirt suitable for growing (and rain).

Gotta love the author who sends me each chapter of her new manuscript individually (I think she once lost a file) - it boggles my mind a bit (because I could never write this way) but I just stitch them together, as she's lovely to work with.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Way to go - needing a prosthetic nose, and having a selection to choose from, including a slightly pinker "drunk nose" to wear when drinking, so it matches her flushed face. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Experience: I lost my nose. Now I have seven different ones to choose from

There has been the odd awkward incident – sometimes if I’m pulling a tight jumper over my head, I’ll accidentally knock my nose off
