Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Sometimes, I need to recover my sanity by unfucking my space.
Today that means the tops of three of my bookshelves are fully decluttered and cleaned. Measurements will be taken of the space above them, and plans made to hang art. I have a lot of art and I want to start looking at it.

I told myself I was going to go write but here I go again. Do people know that trad authors don't get more money from bookstores than they do from online? It's actually the other way around. E-royalties tend to be higher. Standard paperback rates are between 5-8% and hardback is 10-15%.

Okay this is it. Time for the power of book friends. Do delay; shop indie bookstore day on the 26th of April!
Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Fifteen years ago today, I began telling you all the story of Shaun and Georgia Mason, two young bloggers chasing the story of the century. FEED, the book that introduced them, was the first of my works nominated for the Hugo Award, and changed my life in a very real way.

🚨🚨ALERT🚨🚨: If you want Democrats to hold the line on Musk's illegal funding/firing spree, **RIGHT NOW** is time to make your voice heard. This update below is about just that. Not clear how hard a line they're taking. GOPS are abt to shutdown the govt. Their leadership wants Dem help outmaneuver...
This looks like the battle is joined. Republicans are on course to shut down the govt because of their extremist wing. They're asking Dems for help. Dems are saying bill has to have agreement that Prez can't unconstitutionally "impound" appropriated money - i.e., allow Elon's crime spree.
