I’m thankful for so many on my journey. @joycesweeney.bsky.social for her insightful helpful feedback. Lou Nelson who was my mentor and cheerleader for 20+ years. Miss her. #kidlitchat
The biggest one: I am so thankful for my husband, @philbartles.bsky.social who always believes in me and supports me! Even before I sold my first book, every time I got discouraged and said I should "get a real job" to help support our family, he reminded me that writing IS my real job! #KidLitChat
TOPIC: Join us for our annual ThankFest: your opportunity to share the people, institutions, incidents that you are most grateful for in your professional or personal life--now or in the past. #kidlitchat

A powerful message from six Democrats reminded the military of a fundamental truth: illegal orders must be refused. Trump’s over-the-top reaction only highlighted the danger he poses, while the response from the 'Seditious Six' hints at a more strategic approach to Democratic communications.

A new breed of unapologetic, mercilessly on-message Democrats rise to the moment

They picked the wrong veteran to screw with.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Red alert! 🚨 KRISTAN HIGGINS LIKED MY BOOK! “Bald-Faced Liar by Victoria Helen Stone sounds dark and scary, but the wonderful thing is, it’s not. The narrator’s voice is nothing short of joyful, exuberant at times.” Eeee! This was definitely the most fun I’ve had writing a bloody suspense. 😉

Ugh. Can’t read bone density results but what looks good is I don’t have to come back for 3 years now. Before that it was every 2 years.

To anyone who has experience working with fonts and typefaces, I sincerely apologize for the monstrosity I’m about to show you.
I’m very sorry to announce this to the rest of the country & the world, but a transitional logo has been chosen for the 2034 Salt Lake City Olympics & this is it. Why does it say Utah? We don’t know. Why is the font illegible? Yet another mystery. Did they go ugly on purpose? Again, no idea.

Bummed on A1C but it could have been worse. Still being diabetic SUCKS. I don’t even want to hear about how diet change will make it go away. I’ve changed my diet. Cut out lots of carbs, eat lots of protein, exercise, and more. It’s partially genetics. Mom died of complications of it

Le sigh. Good news first. Glucose level down. Cholesterol still in good range. A1C didn’t go up but it didn’t go down either. So frustrating

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives.
Today, in response, we brought our own graphs.
We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.
