For some reason, this particular sign really moves me. Drawn in a spiral notebook. So personal. And always ready. ❤️

Started calling other drivers “babe” and “honey” and “bestie” so as not to swear in front of the carpool and I shit you not it has reduced my road rage by at least 40%.

2) mowing the lawn
3) blowing leaves

It’s the 53rd anniversary of the Battle of the Sexes. While this is the most famous thing BJK did in 1973, it was actually the culmination of one hell of a run of activism by her that year. I wrote about it 3 years ago for @texasmonthly.bsky.social: www.texasmonthly.com/arts-enterta...

Regular people showing up immediately and in numbers. This is the way❤️
NOW: Just arrived at the intersection of Research Blvd and Anderson Lane—near where ICE shot & wounded 29-yr-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez earlier today. Between 300-500 people still holding intersection here. ICE is reportedly not letting Garces Perez’s family access him at the hospital.

Almost every book I read from a new-to-me author comes from the library. If I like it, I request and/or buy more. If I REALLY like it, I give copies to my friends. The library is basically a gateway pusher (complimentary) that gives me the first taste of a new author for free!
I was writer in residence at my local library this year. I got a message once from someone saying she had read my book through her library and then went out and bought 2 copies for the academic institution she works for. Libraries pay for books an introduce people to reading which helps writers.
Publishers have gotten the Authors' Guild to back up their anti-Library ebook rhetoric again. Authors, please come get your gal: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
