Q: Ashley if you’re a #Writer why do your skeets have so many typos?
A: Because I have a #disability that affects my hands (especially my thumbs) and mainly use BlueSky on my phone and don’t always catch my typos before hitting post.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

This weekend I was reminded that even some very intelligent, thoughtful people are unaware of the AI/data center/energy use problem. Such a massive issue, easily missed in the deluge of other disconcerting events.

Mine in today’s New Yorker. Greetings from America’s High-Capacity Server Coolant Reservoirs, formerly the “Great Lakes.” Read my cartoon-filled rant about this at open.substack.com/pub/paulnoth...

Having helped beta test this concept, I can confidently say this project can become huge! #betareaders and #writers, whether they are #indieauthors or seeking #tradpub, this will be the place to be if you want to avoid AI influence.

By humans, for humans!

Trump taking over D.C. is terrifying and should not be ignored, but it also a distraction tactic to get us from talking about Epstein.

It’s still terrifying and I hate that this is the timeline we’re living in.

I love their books. I’ve read every single one so far. I tracked down everything lol. I’m sad I missed the special release of Small Magics, that cover was so gorgeous.

Yes! I was reading along on the belong, every Monday Thursday I was refreshing until a new chapter was up.

I’m so glad they’re making a series, because I can’t wait to see Elias get blown away by Ada!

This is just a fun read. Once again Ilona Andrews deliver something amazing. #PortalFantasy #BookSky

Just finished #reading The Inheritance by Ilona Andrews #booksky! It's a fantastic multi-genre read (Urban fantasy, dystopia, shades of epic fantasy). I loved it!

Affect and effect, I know how and when to use them but my bent brain always types the wrong one first because I sound out words in my head.

Would be nice for a place to get some quick feedback from others on short stories, so I’m definitely interested.

My niece and his friend are watching #Landman, and I happen to be in the room….

I’m trying not to laugh at the fact that they’re watching a multi-layered, multi-couple romance dressed up as a drama/action show.

The only kind thing my step father ever did for me was to buy two furbied at Xmas time because he saw all the other parents snatching them up.

This tidbit brought to you by insomnia filler childhood trauma flashbacks.

I ruined my laptop by falling asleep (medication reaction) with a cup of juice in my hand. It will be a few months before I can get back to writing…
