Sorry for the short stream everyone. Went to get myself that cup of tea and found my kitchen flooded because my cat had chewed through the reverse osmosis supply line.

A friend of mine made me earrings with my book covers. Had a cool interaction with a patron about them.
Patron: I like your earrings.
Me: Thanks! They're my books.
Patron: What do you mean?
Me: I wrote them.
Patron: What are they about?
Me: *gives booktalk*
Patron: My daughter would love those!

Never forget when one of the libraries in my home town got three sewing machines in their art lab and everyone laughed about it until all the industrial workers started using them to repair their jeans and carharts and the clothing stores got mad.

If you must screencap the tweet where elon musk claims his kid was killed by the ~wOkE mInD vIrUs~, blot out her deadname.
Don't give elon the victory of making her deadname more well known than her real name.

And @daxaeterna.daxmurray.com , the people who pirate books and/or profit from pirating books are likely the same people who argue that we don’t need libraries anymore because of the internet.

I did my first virtual author visit about 2 weeks ago, and it was awesome! Then, I visited a local school for a library outreach, and the class had been to my virtual author visit. All they wanted to talk about were my books! The teacher told me afterward that the class was star struck. 🥰

My books are on Amazon, but I ALWAYS link people to Bookshop.org or their local library instead. Bookshop supports your local bookstores, and you should always support your local library.

He’s calling people who receive federal assistance “parasites” while taking $8 million a day from U.S. taxpayers—plus another $400 million on the way for armored Teslas. What a hypocrite. This administration is full of terrible people.

Elon also just landed another SpaceX contract—right after paying Trump $10 million for an X lawsuit, despite not even owning X at the time. Follow the money and see where it goes.
