Hi, new followers. I am Emily, a lone wolf literary agent wandering the streets of Brooklyn. Originally from New Haven, CT. Invisible disability, mental health, ace. I have an identical twin (and another sister). Looking for a Coven. Here are some books I have worked on recently.
Covers of 'We Kept Her in the Cellar" by WR Gorman, "Shooting for Stars" by Christine Webb, "The Skeleton Flute" by Damara Allen, "The Color of Sound" by Emily Barth Isler, "Hide and Seeker" by Daka Hermon and "Forsooth" by Jimmy Matejek-Morris.

I am not in touch with the Italian-American side of my heritage, but hear me out. What if we let the Native People have this day (bank holiday and all) and we, like, really leaned into San Gennaro as our thing? Then everyone could have a parade? 🤔

Some are so gross that I feel dumb for buying them. They should let you buy one at a time.

There is also one on social media called Bouy, I think, that claims to be made for chronic illness. I am skeptical of Instagram marketing though.

I got a brand called Only Hydration and I liked the flavor but didn't feel as hydrated as when I took Liquid IV or Gatorade. So long as we are reporting back. Nuun I hated the taste of several flavors.
Sjogrens makes me so dry. I can feel a difference in my sinus when I drink certain ones. 🫠

Oh no I forgot it was #DVPit today. Will go through the hashtag now. I've signed at least one client through #DVPit and I appreciate the work @bethphelan.bsky.social does!

I am not a heritage American and proud. "Anglo-Protestant" nonsense.

The nativist right keeps talking about “heritage Americans.” It's a buzzword engineered to move the goalposts on immigration even further, argues @alibreland.bsky.social.
Are You a ‘Heritage American’?
Why the far right wants to know if your ancestors were here during the Civil War.

#ocdawarenessweek happens in October so I'll be sharing a little here about my own experience having #OCD. I got to speak publicly at The Row House Forum in Lancaster, PA a few years ago about mental illness, fear, and hope. The full audio is in the next post.

Does anyone have electrolyte drinks they actually like or do we all just know what color Gatorade or powder we can tolerate when we are sick?
