Book bans like HR 7661 are ALWAYS about control and NEVER about protection. The only people who benefit from limiting access to information are those trying to oppress others. Speak out against the ban. Call your reps. Share information. Bookish people should NEVER support limiting access to books.

Do you prefer happily ever afters? I originally had a different ending in mind for The Shield, but I'm so committed to having things end happily (and I cried so hard just trying to write it), that I scrapped the idea. Give me a happily ever after any day of the week. #booksky
Vending at events as is time consuming and can be stressful, even uncomfortable. Here are some tips and tricks to make things easier. Part 2 of this mini series focuses on ways to make things more comfortable for you. You want to make sure you're hydrated, fed, & physically comfortable. #authorsky
What's something you thought would be cool as a kid that turned out not to be? I DID get to use Daffy Duck return address labels on my graduation announcements, so I got to live out part of this incredibly mundane fantasy. I still don't understand why so many adults lack whimsy. #questionoftheday
Don't compare yourself to others, especially people who have more experience. Just take notes, learn and grow, practice, and do what works for you. #booksky #authorsky #contentcreator

As a cis white woman, I normally try to uplift the voices of those most impacted by current events, but I wanted to share how I'm feeling about everything going on in America. I've been working on this poem since last year and I'm ready to share it. (1/3)
We authors and other creatives are against gen AI because it steals our work, steals our jobs, produces garbage a human could've done better, rotting people's brains, and destroying the environment. Stop being lazy and create things YOURSELF or pay someone else to do it for you. Stop stealing. #ai
Please do not tag authors in critical reviews, it's unkind. Authors pour countless hours, our hearts, and a LOT of money into our books. It's rude to force us to see your unsolicited critiques of our work. Authors have cried, had breakdowns, or quit writing over this sort of behavior. (1/2) #booksky
It was an honor to serve as a judge for the 51st Gracie Awards, celebrating the women whose voices continue to shape media, storytelling, and culture. Congratulations to all of the winners and honorees. It was wonderful meeting so many inspiring people across entertainment, journalism, tv.

FISA Section 702 is supposed to be for gathering intelligence on foreigners located abroad. But it has been used and abused for spying on Americans right here at home—including protesters, journalists, and even women on dating apps and rental tenants. Reform 702 now.

I’ve never appreciated fútbol (soccer) as much as watching Brandon Aubrey nail a field goal like a man who used to bend corners past keepers for fun. He tied today’s game with a 64‑yard FG at the end of regulation, then iced it in OT with a 46‑yard game‑winner. 🔥 #NYGvsDAL

Everyone can speak as they wish, vote for, or not vote for, who they want. But when a blunder of epic proportions is made, it has consequences. The consequences of 2015-16 bull manure should render those to the sidelines, and back solely to their fulltime gig, whatever that might be. #DeadlineWH

As much as MAGA dehumanizes immigrants, we have to re-humanize our neighbors, uplifting their stories. Stories of people like Allan Dabrio Marrero and his family. Allan was wrongfully detained at a routine Green Card hearing. Now he's free, we must use our pain to free others.

Trump told Kevin Hassett to tell Americans that they are (on average) $3000 richer since he took office. Umm, a pound of ground beef costs more than one hour worked at minimum wage right now, so they can shove that fake fact up their phoney fascist asses.
