As we close out this year’s #TalkLikeAPirateDay, it’s not too late to grab one (or all) of my pirate publications! You can cruise the Chesapeake Bay, prowl the mid-Atlantic coast with William Kidd, or sail from New England to the Caribbean with Black Sam Bellamy! 🏴☠️📚
Doing morning affirmations as I make coffee: I am capable & smart. I am a respected historian & author.
Doing nightly affirmations as I pour wine after rewriting the same sentence 20 times & miss a deadline: I could change my identity & start a boxer rescue + winery & brewery somewhere far away.*

Over the last couple of days I have become so overstimulated that my body feels like it’s on fire, full of electricity, and just one touch away or minor inconvenience from spontaneously combusting. It hurts and I’m tired 😭

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

So, my service dog & faithful companion of nearly 12 years, JT, has a very large, aggressively cancerous mass on his spleen. Our options are A) a risky surgery + chemo or B) keeping him comfy until we’re ready to say goodbye. We’ve selected Option B. I don’t know what I’ll do without him. 💔

Just received some devastating news from the vet. I’m not ready to share details yet, but if you could send me some good vibes or positive thoughts, I would be immensely grateful. 💔

My new & first book, Selling Out Santa, is Open Access!

It'll likely be my only income in over 2 years once royalties pay next July, so please consider it!

If they honestly think everyone is going to spend money & travel during the holidays because the government reopened, they’re really effing stupid. Most of us will still be playing catch up from the last 6 weeks. And those that aren’t now have to worry about their insurance premiums tripling. 🤬
