DREAM ON just got its fourth starred review! I'm so delighted. We worked on this book for over four years and poured all of ourselves into it. It's extremely gratifying that it's getting such kind notice.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.

Post-menopausal Aquarius, reporting for duty. No one will know what the agenda is, but somehow, it will lead to universal healthcare.

This was a Utah university attempting to comply with the indefensible HB 261. A university. Prohibiting lists of words and ideas.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Just a reminder that the circulation of the Epstein emails, reminding us not just how many people in power are predators... But how society will close ranks to protect them .... That might be hitting you some place soft, for a lot of reasons.
Be gentle with yourself.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

This year the abundance of "AI" photos and videos advertising Christmas gifts is absolutely ridiculous. My dudes, if you can't produce an actual photo of the item, it's not worth buying.

I sure hope they don’t have any biographies of George Washington in that library. Wouldn’t want to confuse those poor children about how men should dress and style their hair.

My parents dragged me out of Texas shortly after my birth as I was a boy with eyelashes, a condition never seen in that state before or since.

I mean, what else are they going to use that money for? Food? Healthcare?

It's TEXAS! Abbott ran on guaranteeing nothing but masculine horses for the lone star state!
