Excited #TheBodysAlphabet won a @BiBookAwards Award. Thanks 2 @TweetsBiSheela & all the judges. Thrilled 2 have met so many other #biauthors

@magicmikewrites Congrats!

I got an acceptance this week from a literary magazine I’ve been reading (and submitting to) for a decade! So if you keep getting No, a Yes could be right around the corner.

@shannonminter5 Ha Ha. When I had my beloved cats (who were littermates but have since passed away), I would so often say through clenched teeth "I don't need any help. I'm fine," lol when they would get into stuff.

Sharice is helping me clean the bathroom. So helpful!

@shaindelr Ha ha!

Muttley is in the pound and looks defiant af. Don't worry. He will be returned to owner, but this is the pic the animal control officer for the tribe sent me today. Look. At. That. Face. #dogs

@WarHistoryProf I'm so sorry.

This is the post I never wanted to have to make. Earlier today, news arrived that my position as a history professor for US Army CGSC has been eliminated in accordance with DOD cuts. There is no chance of reassignment, and the entire Fort Belvoir campus will be stood down.

@shannonminter5 So glad you're ok.

We’re good, the threat is over

@dksavageauthor Love 'em, especially in law articles. Less enamored in poetry but I wouldn't argue against them.

Now for something truly controversial! Semicolons. Love them or hate them? To me, they're a big fat stop sign when reading. I limit myself to a max of one per novel. What say you all?

@JasonJonesVPP unspeakably horrible

China’s Genocide Starts in the Womb Most have never heard of the Baren Massacre — but they should. In 1990, Uyghur villagers in East Turkistan protested after 250 women were forced to abort their babies under China’s One-Child Policy. The Chinese government responded with military force, killing civilians in a brutal crackdown. The horror didn’t end there. Today, over 1 million Uyghurs are held in camps where survivors report torture, rape, brainwashing, forced sterilization, and forced abortion. This is not family planning — it's state-sponsored violence. Forced abortion is not a choice. It’s a human rights violation. And it’s still happening. Help expose it. Share this message. Stand for life. Stand for freedom. #BarenMassacre #UyghurGenocide #ChinaCrimes #HumanRights #EndForcedAbortion #StandWithUyghurs #EastTurkistan

I love this.

@ChopraUSA and @sethfrotman penned State Enforcement as a Federal Legislative Tool, while @Atweedy01 addressed Anticommandeering & Indian Affairs Legislation, both of which are interesting and timely pieces. journals.law.harvard.edu/jol/2025/01/15… journals.law.harvard.edu/jol/2025/02/22…

@mayaslmh @haymarketbooks Congrats!

So excited to have my work in @HarvardJOL! This article argues that the #anticommandeering doctrine should be interpreted very narrowly in the Indian Affairs context, and further argues that the doctrine shouldn't have been applied at all in #Brackeen.

Please read Brian Gibbs’ moving testimony and lament over being “terminated” yesterday from the National Park Service, putting a human face on the heartbreak and crisis thousands of government public servants are undergoing right now due to Trump and Musk’s draconian purges:

You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots. It doesn’t come like that. Look at the language. It begins in the language. —Joseph Brodsky

@deanpb_author hang in there

I’m thinking of giving up writing. There have been no sales this year, or pages read on KU despite trying everything to promote the first two books. Obviously, my books don’t appeal to people, so I’m concluding it’s time to call it a day 😔

@MommaVal96 So sorry.

@LakotaMan1 @SenTomCotton This seems hateful to women BTW

@SenTomCotton Isn’t Tom that cowardly pussy who ran away during the insurrection after getting those MAGA losers all riled up? I can’t tell. These fucking white boys all look the same. To me anyways.

Joe Biden’s decision to extend legal status for over 1 million migrants just 10 days before he leaves office is a slap in the face to millions of American voters.

@Matt_Pinner Yep, several.

Anyone?

@uppityhobbit sending.

My darling Daughter in Law is in the hospital for possible preeclampsia. Might be induced today, might be later this weekend. She’s 37 weeks but baby Charlotte is very tiny. Prayers up please (pic is from Christmas Eve)

@shannonminter5 So sweet.
