Today is my birthday and the 1 year anniversary of me publishing The Shield. I've learned a lot over this last year and I'm grateful for even more. Chase your dreams. Life is too short to tell yourself no if you're able to tell yourself yes. 💙💛 #booksky #authorsky #writersky

What's your favorite book you've read recently? I'm wildly addicted to The Legendborn Series by Tracy Deonn. I wish I could jump into the future so that I could already have book...

If someone holds beliefs that go against my morals, I don't need their support. 🤷🏻♀️ So no, I don't care about my views affecting my "reputation." Books are political. Reading a...

I guess you could say my stories are character driven purely because of how I write. #booksky #authorsky #bookishquestions #writingcommunity

Do you eat while reading? I never ate while reading because I was always worried about getting the book dirty, but that could be a me problem. I'm kind of a messy eater. 🤣 #booksky
I LOVED the book How to Break Up With Your Phone by Catherine Price! It was helpful in showing me why I have such a hard time putting down my phone and habits that lead to it becoming such a time suck. I'm donating my copy to the book swap at the Spring Book Fair this Staurday in Puyallup. #booksky
What bookish stereotypes do you fit? I wish there were less coffee themed bookish things because I dislike coffee. More plant and tea things thanks! I don't like cat stuff despite having cats but it's acceptable with books. #booksky #bookish
What do you want to feel when you read a book? Sometimes I get so lost in the story, I forget about what I'm trying to make people feel when I write. #booksky #authorsky
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
What lessons have you learned in one area of your life that can apply elsewhere? #booksky #authorsky #writersky
As authors, we love our readers and meeting/alking to you. We do book events and love them, but they're exhausting. We are "on" the entire time, which is extra hard for more introverted authors- and most authors ARE introverted. Please treat authors you meet with grace at events. #booksky
If you're a fan of: 💙 Avatar the Last Airbender 💛 Legend of Korra 💙 Buffy the Vampire Slayer 💛 Twilight You'll probably like The Shield. #booksky
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
👷♂️The old cement tower near Hudson’s Riverfront Park will be torn down by the end of the month.
How did we get to a place where the loudest voices on your health aren’t doctors, farmers, or healers… but billionaires, lobbyists, and corporations with something to sell? Time to wake up. Time to take your health back into your own hands. @itsdaverobinson

The Trump administration is standing firm that their tariffs, which taxed the average American household $1,000 last year, are here to stay.
THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics and regulation. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight w/the Trump admin over AI safety and military use of its technology.

Share this reel with someone who needs to stop shrugging and saying everything is fine when it's not. The collapse in Anturia started when someone handed them the wrong piece, and they put it in anyway. They pretended it was fine until it was not.

Een man redde een cobra door hem water te geven. Toen de cobra weer hersteld was, viel het de man meteen aan. Zo gaat het ook met mensen uit Afrikaanse en islamitische landen; je geeft ze alles en krijgt daar een hoop geweld en stank voor terug. Het blijven wilde beesten! #Fix

MAGA wants you to think requiring a birth certificate to vote is the same as showing ID to buy a beer. It’s not. Buying beer isn’t a constitutional right. Voting is.

I saw a video on Twitter of someone watching through the AAA booth at WWE World & they have so much cool stuff on display! I love how the walls are covered with old pictures, they got the Mega Championship in a glass case, they got some nice sets of gear on display & the tower of masks is beautiful!
