Beth Kander (indefinite hiatus)

Write the book you want to rewrite.

@2024Debuts The X platform settings won’t let me DM this account… can y’all follow/message me? (Also trying insta!) thanks ✨

Are you debuting in 2024? DM us today for an invite to join the 2024-ever Slack group! (Open to all 2024 debut authors, even if your announcement isn’t live yet.)

Had lunch with the amazingly talented @ByBethKander today! We met through @allidhellegers who represents us at @StimolaLiterary. We had a wonderful time! #WritingCommunity

...just no.

Really missed the boat here not calling the place Payless Booze

11k Meta workers laid off, 3.5k Twitter workers laid off... that's a lot of suddenly-unemployed social media folks angry at the overlords, please point me to the coming Rebel Alliance platform

... I am not sure I want to stay on Twitter but I am also not sure I could ever join a social media app where you share "toots" ... "Mastadon toots" sound especially heinous

@brazenhussyrant busted toots huh?

Schools are closed for #ElectionDay so I took my kids to a nature class with an adjacent coworking space & the new young teacher, looking mortified, just brought me my 2yo: "um... this is... this is some serious poop" and if that doesn't sum up election day

I 💙Chicago

@benny275 @BookRecommende7 thanks, yes, I muted him when he became my whole freaking feed... but muting all the parody-musk accounts (some of which are very funny, but OOF there are a lot of them) is like a new part-time job...

Wow. I'm seeing the followers-decrease, the vitriol increase, and also I feel like 90% of my newsfeed is now Musk, and I don't even follow him... 🙄 Weighing my options but likely exiting this platform soon. What are other #WritingCommunity folks thinking?

Excited to see this show + bring the kiddos along since on-site childcare is an option (truly amazing). Bravo to @HalliePalladino and @Propthtr and also cc @PAALtheatre 😉

Some folks love to rag on #NaNoWriMo these days, but it's been such a terrific kickstarter and entrypoint to novel-writing for so many writers - me, included. Don't yuck the yum, y'all. And to everyone cranking out words this month, good luck! Right there with you 😉

Kid1's hamster died. We buried him this morning. Kid2 had an allergic reaction, projectile vomited everywhere (fine now). Black birds are circling our house (hopefully not to eat hamster corpse). So far: Pet Cemetery, The Exorcist, The Birds. WE GET IT #HALLOWEEN CALM DOWN

Mundane Halloween is back! Japan does Halloween better than anyone, but best of all is the annual "mundane Halloween" contest sponsored by website @dailyportalz. The point is to dress up as something super ordinary. Here are some of my favorites from this year...

ok YES I'm still on hiatus but I was on a Zoom meeting & forgot to take off my hat & got called out for looking like I was auditioning to be a burglar in a Home Alone remake & I just☠️

Going on hiatus until at least Halloween. At which point I'll change my name back to my real name. Especially since I missed the memo that no one's doing Halloween names this year. SEND ME THE MEMOS.

I've struggled with what to say about #antisemitism right now. I don't know if these are the right words, but here are some words: link.medium.com/n6wwNbWLrub

hi, are you doomscrolling? This website continues to be full of bad opinions and will still be here tomorrow. You still deserve time to rest and recover.
