@utheol Ugh, it's a tough one. First step: Be conscious that you're a gentrifying force, even when you don't want to be.

@melodywarnick #ThisisWhereyouBelong, Chapter seven. How do you move into and stablize the low income underserved neighborhoods without the gentrification effect of displacing the locals?

@KrishaChachra Haha, thanks, Krisha! I genuinely don't mind. Although if they want to fly me to China to sign books, I'm all in...

So, my book got published in China and the translator is doing a book signing, no big deal.

Happy Book Birthday, @melodywarnick! IF YOU COULD LIVE ANYWHERE is now available anywhere books are sold! Called "aptly timed... easy to read, intriguing, and informative" by @ALA_Booklist, IF YOU COULD LIVE ANYWHERE is the remote worker's guide to location in the modern age.

In writing my book, I've realized I'm taking the idea behind the snowball approach to paying down debt and applying it to my writing process. I'm all about getting those quick wins to keep me going. Not sure it is the right move for money or writing, but here we are. #amwriting

@FoxPrintEd I think it was a really good self-portrait. I immediately knew it was you! Which is more than you can say for a lot of self-portraits.

My husband is returning from a trip just as I'm leaving for one, and our paths do not overlap. Is it weird that I made him a virtual welcome altar, with a very bad self-portrait I painted, and a note and homemade cookies?

@azcavalier @warnick and I defined "staying" as spending the night and "visiting" as doing something in the state on purpose. So, I've visited Connecticut because I went to the aquarium there, but I haven't stayed.

I laugh now that I used to think living in six states made me some kind of nomad. Who can destroy my score of 202 on this? And when can I give Arkansas its due? tenpages.github.io/us-level/us.ht…

@jeff4place You did pretty great though. You're almost in the 50-state club (my proudest achievement)!

My friend @lvanderkam writes self-help books that are actually, shockingly helpful, and hooray, it's pub day for her new book Tranquility by Tuesday! amzn.to/3ViBgnu Can't wait for Laura to fix my broken life (again).
