Welcome newest followers!

Here is a #GreatKiskadee from October 2023 in the Rio Grande Valley. Loud and energetic fuss made from the topmost branch of a live oak at a Target parking lot. #Ornithology

The collection includes thousands of pages of scripts as well as artifacts and love letters(!) – curated by Stiller and Meara themselves.

All I have to say about FRANKENSTEIN is please go see it and please also help me convince @realgdt.bsky.social to make seventeen more like it.

It is beautiful and enthralling and I am so tempted to go see it again. 🖤🖤🖤

The urge to overshare is common. By pulling out your exposition into a new document you can explore your world in smaller short stories. It's a win win. You can release how your world is without bogging down your novel. Who are your side characters?

Song lyrics recall for me is by lines that are several stanzas apart. Like: "It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday... the microphone smells like a beer." If we go dystopian, don't ask me to memorize a whole book. #bookpeople

My three year old wanted to carve pumpkins this year. His first time.

He chose the patterns and then assisted me throughout.

Boo! 🎃

You never know what will come out of a broken crayon.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

A young reader wrote to me and said she loves “crispy water”. Any guesses? Does she mean sparkling? Spring? Is this a brand? 😅

Dictatorships come for joy. They come for spontaneity. They come for creativity and nonconformity.

Keep yours, in whatever form it takes.

The Merlin Bird ID app kept insisting for days there was a bushtit around, and today finally saw the first one ever in the habitat! Great feeling to get a positive visual confirmation.

Having already paved the Rose Garden, Trump now rips up the Jackie Kennedy garden outside the East Wing. All traces of Camelot must be obliterated to make room for our new Mordor.
