Happy Bookday to ON THIS UNWORTHY SCAFFOLD, the conclusion to the Shadow Players trilogy, my opus on art and madness and rebellion. Break a leg, Jetta (preferably someone else's.)

Just woke up with a vague memory from the distant past aka my childhood: physical mailing list. So if you want to keep in touch I’ll send you a real life letter every so often if you send me a best address to heidiheiligauthor at gmail.

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

We had fun, didn’t we? If we ever talked (or if you thought we might someday!) I’m on Facebook under my real name, and on mastodon for starters. Or email me at heidiheiligauthor at gmail—I’ll keep you up to date on news and the yearly party at my place in Brooklyn. ❤️❤️

The entire republican party is a Russian asset.

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

Do you ever feel like no one listens? Especially when you’re young—you can scream at the top of your lungs and it’s like no one can hear you. But every time I vote, I know my voice is heard by the ones with the most power, no matter who wins. Make them hear you, my friends. #vote

Never let children forget: nazis and fascists are like roaches.
If you see one, there are hundred in the shadows. Act swiftly to eradicate or you’ll have an infestation (which is where we are now.)

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

@readingtheend Unless the article is “how to ID a nazi for quick disposal” literally no one should care! AND YET

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

God I still remember the dapper nazi blowup. Like Jesus I was so naive thinking that it was OBVIOUS we had to punch public nazis, and being shocked at the pushback from peers.

@mattycaterjunes Thank you. He already knew “the song I’m never supposed to mention at school” (NWA’s opus, FTP) and honestly he took comfort in the fact that it was common knowledge that cops do inappropriate awful things all the time.

Mayor Adams sends cops to bully elementary students w/ pics of bloody knives, lurid stories of grade schoolers murdering their bullies or ending their lives by hanging, & bodily lifting children as a physically threatening “example of what bullies can do” https://t.co/zIal5XGreS

Trigger warning suicide:
My son is 8, by the way. He came home asking me if you could die ny putting a rope around your neck. (My uncle died this way when I was a little younger than my son is now; as you can imagine this was not a pleasant conversation.)

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

Yes this happened at my son’s school and yes I am pissed.

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

@Bibliogato Lol we can only hope

"Deliberately misleading." NYC DOE deputy chancellor was not upfront with the City Council about the 400 excessed early childhood staffers.

@AngrygirLcomics He’s read it like five times since yesterday. I finally managed to switch my copy for his own and he was delighted to see that you’d actually put his name in it!

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

Found on my sons desk: my nice signed copy of ⁦@AngrygirLcomics⁩ Mooncakes next to my 8 year olds math practice. (He has his own copy!!!) (he also borrowed my signed THUG and left it on the buffet when distracted by dinner???)

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

I have to keep repeating that in my head. A lot of times.

[heidi heilig @heidiheilig]

Since I will never ever ever scold him for reading a book I have to bring those feelings here. Already bracing myself for the day be spills something on one or more of them. “Like the signatures themselves, this milk stain represents the fact that someone I love held this book.”
