You guys. My brain is *buzzing* with my MG Horror WIP. 🖤 This is the closest to a fever dream experience I’ve ever been. How can these characters that sprang from my imagination feel so REAL!?

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

I watched this as a tween and it totally scarred me. Then I watched The Fourth Kind as an adult and my fear of little green men crystallized for all eternity. 😆💚

It's a great week to go to the library (though every week is) and check out a banned book!! www.ala.org/bbooks

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

Dispatch from Pennsylvania on a highly unusual state Supreme Court election—one of the few most consequential matters on the ballot anywhere in the country next month. New from me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Love it when this happens! Outdoor time/movement/water…all magic when feeling stuck. 😊

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Today’s the day @barnesandnoble.com recommends you read WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME. They are professionals; who are we to disagree with their assessment??

At this spooky time of year, I’m reminded of the time my eldest child whispered to his little brother, who was 2 or 3 at the time, with mischievous delight in voice, “Mama’s a witch!”✨🧹
