Watching this film #Eddington knowing @rachkmc was watching at the same time in another country was like having somebody drop by before you've had the chance to tidy up. A little embarrassed, but not apologetic, because this is your home and how you live.

Crying...
Quebec just dropped an ad for Americans—and we have all the feels. Comments like “I thought we’d get roasted…but I’m crying instead” and “As an American…I needed that hug” are flooding TikTok. I know things would be better if we all got a hug from Canada. And I need one too.

FEMA who? H-E-B is on the way! Did you know H-E-B was founded right in Kerrville, Texas? And now, they're coming to the rescue with disaster relief trucks to support the Kerrville community. Seriously love living in Texas and that we always take care of our own. Thank you,

I create complex narratives with imaginary people. And I never brush my hair.
What’s something that was true about you at age 5 that is still true today?

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

"Marching" to "Fortunate Son." They are too stupid to be ironic.
This "march" actually makes our military look insanely weak. No coordination, no fervent saluting. This is ass and not even doing the fascism correctly. And of all songs.....they're actually using Fortunate Son" as well....to salute the warmongering, draft dodging president 😂

This is my absolute favorite press room moment.
"Do you regret all the lying you've done to the American people?" In one question, HuffPost correspondent S.V. Dáte showed more spine than the entire press corps. Journalism shouldn’t be about coddling power. It should call out motherfuckers like Donald Trump every single day.

Remembering the time I had to fight for my students to read The Handmaid's Tale and got to meet @MargaretAtwood herself as a reward. Today my congressman voted to take away my right to vote.

My first pitch at a writers conference, the editor just flipped through my pages and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." (BTW, that book became my first novel, the first of 25 and still my best seller...)
Were you ever told you were bad writer?

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson? “You are worthy.” That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been. @CoryBooker
