Where are you in your writing process right now?

@Logically_JC Just found out our city is trying to eliminate middle school librarians. Public education is essential; librarians are the key to all kinds of literacy. #Evanston @CityofEvanston @District65

So many of our problems could be fixed by properly funding public education.

I stopped reading at this passage. Naveah Crain is dead because the state of Texas put a layer of bureaucracy between women and their healthcare providers. Period. Abortion bans kill women.

@WWFerguson2 They don't call them pretty good lakes.

One of the things I love about being a Michigander is casually telling an out-of-towner that you all are going to the "lake" this weekened, and then taking them to see this:

The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires. At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare. Perhaps you can connect the dots.

This morning, Canadian PM Mark Carney sat in a living room, looked into a camera and delivered a message which is summarized thusly: The United States — our neighbor, our largest trading partner, the country whose economy has been braided into ours for the better part of two centuries — is no longer an ally we can count on. They are compromised by a conman. America is breaking, and yes, that special relationship isn’t just over; it’s a liability. The ties that made us strong have become the ties that make us vulnerable because America is a non-functional, malevolent nation. Well said, sadly. Credit to Dean Blundell's Substack.

@vickyweberbooks That's actually very cool

Random fact about me: I once complained about how many picture books have music notes illustrated backwards. So loudly that a trad publisher hired me to proofread the music notes in the art for several unpublished titles. 😅

Unhappy to report that taking extended time away from your manuscript really does bring so much clarity and understanding to your next editing pass!

I support this 💯💯💯💯💯

JD Vance is right. More people need to know that the president is trying to take $10 billion in taxpayer money for himself.

@Daibandobach @AzPetrich Here in the US, we passed deeply concerned after that golden elevator ride. We're well into our the "our hair is on fire" stage.

@AzPetrich I have to tell you,politely,Europe is deeply concerned

I know we're laughing at Hegseth quoting Pulp Fiction to pray with the Pentagon staff, but I think we're skipping a step here. WHY IS THE SECRETARY PRAYING WITH PENTAGON STAFF AT ALL? This is not a theocracy.
