I nearly started crying in my local bookstore yesterday. I nervously asked if I could sign stock of my book when it comes in next week, fully prepared for them to say no. And this angel bookseller said, “I *demand* that you sign every book.” 😭😭😭

One of the biggest jump scares for me is when someone starts telling me that they loved a book and how the NYT bestselling author is one of their favorites… …meanwhile, I ghostwrote the book they’re talking about and have to pretend I’ve never heard of it. 😮‍💨

Hey all. So, unfortunately, the Technicolor closure news hits a little close to home. And by that I mean my spouse’s entire company has been dissolved and he and all of his coworkers are out of jobs. Sort of in shock at the moment (considering we found out Friday and he was terminated today).

Yes. See thread below for resources. Measles has an R0 of 12-18. That means every person with the measles infects 12-18 other people. In comparison, COVID's R0 is about 2-3. **If you're immunocompromised, travel a lot, work w/immunocompromised people or work in healthcare, ask your PCP abt booster!

As a girl with ADHD, audiobooks have been a lifesaver. I have been able to read so much more because of audiobooks. And now, I get to listen to potential narrators for the audiobook production of my debut novel. I get to hear master storytellers read words that I wrote.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵
