For the record: You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month. You cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn’t keep banning books, maybe we wouldn’t have to clear that up. #Debate2024

@AshWritesBooks @DelReyBooks @randomhouse Yessss Ashley!!!

It's been a whole year since I left Twitter, but I figured I'd drop back in just this once for a pretty big announcement. (And then I'm logging out again for at least another year. 😂) Hope you're all doing well here in ye olde land of Twitter!

I'm still on academic listservs and COLLEGES 😤 the amt of time it takes to apply to adjunct work is not it. just clicked on one that asked for prob 8-10 hours to apply for teaching a class that pays 3-4K for 1 semester. i'd predict 200 applicants too. 🥲everything is broken

@HannahPosted 💯 HFM

@CLiwrites So jeal

guys getting a bob fucking slaps

@realgirl_fieri ok but WAIT

@Sara_BA_Rodgers Simply cannot wait!!

So excited about my latest acquisition. Can't wait to work with @jf_smit to bring this wonderful book to shelves!

this advice, while not the best advice, is... free

Acknowledge which area of yours needs improvement (often the hardest part) and make a plan to improve. Craft books, writing partners, self-challenges, etc. there are many options as long as you're willing to work on it. Information is EVERYWHERE online/in the library

If you're an aspiring writer finding repeated difficulty in your defined success (finishing a book, writing a query, landing an agent/deal, etc.) then in my years of teaching I found it's usually 1 of 2 things: you need help with the actual writing part OR the storytelling part

@tashiebhuiyan I just gasped and choked on a pistachio nut at this tweet HAYMITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAYMITCH BOOK???? WE’RE GETTING A HAYMITCH HUNGER GAMES BOOK????

This person gets me.

@truthinlovemama @bycourtneym my kids have these too - just a warning to check the casing to make sure it's on solidly, as these have button batteries.

@bycourtneym I got my kids these on our last road trip and they were a hit. They could draw infinitely without markers/crayons ending up all over the car

Our family of 4 is doing a 9 hour road trip this week. Both kids under 6. No screens. We're doing read alouds, kid podcasts, sticker books, coloring, and snacks. A friend recommended we stop to eat at parks on the trip. What else should we do to stay sane?
