Hello new followers!

The following thread of posts will try to explain who I am and some of what's happening here.

@tkingfisher.com Stephen King says some nice words about your wonderful book. Just thought you'd like to know.

Posted by Stephen King: THE TWISTED ONES, by T. Kingfisher: It lures you in with chatty good humor (especially about NPR Pledge Week) and a lovely dog...then slams the door and bites you in the dark.

The numbers don't lie. We are in the midst of a healthcare crisis.

New Jerseyans: if you are getting notices of increased premium costs in the mail, or if the expiration of ACA tax credits will impact you and your family, we want to hear from you. 1/2

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

With this upcoming project, I want to be sure I'm reaching as many people as I can. To that end I ::shudder:: opened Twitter today for the first time in about 10 months. But this project is gonna cost me a bundle, so I'm gonna be asking for some community support, so every connection counts. <3

The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!

Jordy created a website where visitors can contribute $35 to “provide an inflatable costume for a True American.™”

He initially hoped to collect enough to buy a couple dozen suits.

But as he put it -- “This whole thing has blown up a lot.”
