"That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you."

Then he shot her three times and called her a "f***ing bitch" as he walked away.

I can't get this out of my head.

It's a privilege to watch Sam Shepherd and Billy Bob Thornton in the same series. Two of the finest actors alive today.

When I received my 2026 Bingo card and saw a square for WW3, I thought it was funny. I'm not laughing now.

The Stranger Things finale was satisfying and I loved it, and the ending scene was perfection. It made me cry through my Lexapro. I'm going to miss Hawkins and the Party. Thanks so much to the Duffer Bros & the amazing cast & crew who gave us five superb seasons of this absolute gem of a show.

I decorated for Christmas, but it felt like too much clutter and clutter makes me claustrophobic. I packed up half of it and sold it on Marketplace. Now I can enjoy the holidays with my peace intact, and I'm free of "stuff."

This evening I was able to see the aurora in the northern sky with my naked eye. It's a spectacular sight that makes my heart happy. Perspective.

Where are they? Where are the homeless people who disappeared from the streets in Washington DC? The American people need answers!

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

No matter how freaked out you are right now, you're under-reacting.

Was today the end of free speech in America?

I've lost 70 lbs and am having a hard time buying clothes in my new size. I keep wanting to revert to bigger sizes because??? Is this body dysmorphia? Am I seeking comfort in the familiar? Do I not trust my mirror?

Anyway....release the Epstein files.

Sweet home Chicago. There's no place like it.

Proud of my Governor! Chicago is full of brave, strong, proud Americans and no tyrant is going to defeat them.
Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

A pointless (but pointed) military flyover was planned for the time of the survivors' press conference. Nevertheless, they persisted. Women will save this country.

I watched the Epstein survivors' press conference, and I'm in awe of these women. It takes great courage to speak out. They have to re-live the worst experiences of their life in order to force JUSTICE.

States with the highest crime rates are sending their National Guard units to blue cities with lower crime rates.

Blue states are sending their tax money to red states impoverished by GOP policies.

This level of insanity is not sustainable.

Love it! 😍

I've had enough social media for awhile. I can't handle reading about any more of the GOP mayhem today. They are all competing to see who can be the most crazed.

I've never been excited for two people I don't know getting engaged, until today. Congratulations to Taylor and Travis!

I'm afraid to look at the news every morning. But then I remember, there's always hope....

Hey, #booksky 💙📚, if you're thinking of getting my #book, Blood of the Witness Tree (nice thinking, btw!), you may want to pick up the first book, The Dance of Rotten Sticks.

#horrorbook #horror

Both can stand alone, but they read well as a series.

You want to get an early start on spooky season? Here you go! I'm partway through book 2 and enjoying it very much. Treat yourself and buy both! Happy reading. #spooky #book #BookSky #horror #gothic #BloodoftheWitnessTree
Looking for a #spooky #book , #BookSky 📚💙 ? My new #horrorbook, Blood of the Witness Tree, continues the story of Isaac Fletcher and his daughter Emily from my #gothic #horror, The Dance of Rotten Sticks.

Though a sequel, it can stands alone.

People who say there's no value in learning history are causing us to repeat it.
