@democracynow.org had @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and me on together to explain that she is not being sworn in because she is the 218th signatory for the release of the Epstein files. Swear her in today.

Safe in my Collegesville hotel, getting ready for tonight's book event. As always, my mask matches my dress! (And I can probably be convinced to trade stickers for Diet Dr Pepper.)

Frankly surprised I still have these. They're $24, handpoured and handpainted, and I know a bunch of you love orange cats.

Mascot rave actually seems like an incredibly effective tactic. There's absolutely no way to spin that the dancing unicorn was threatening.

Covid is not over.

People are still dying and becoming disabled every day.

Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

Not Stephen Miller accidentally outting the regime in an interview. Let that "plenary authority" claim slip right out and then had to act like the audio cut out.

Sir! We heard you.. and the President does NOT have plenary authority.

It came out last week.

Apparently!

Beautiful!

I can promise neither of them is about zombies or the apocalypse!

Have you read INTO THE DROWNING DEEP or OVERGROWTH, both by Mira Grant?

Basically, my own books are making me think about mortality and it annoys me.

This means I rarely have to deal with things like "character X is central to the narrative and is injured/traumatized/pregnant/nursing a newborn." But it does mean I blink and the baby who was A BABY last time I looked is eight years old and very much in school.
