I'm going to do my first ever in-person public reading! I'll be at LitHop Fresno on Oct. 18 as part of a 4-person team from Central Valley Fiction Writers. I'll be reading from my award-winning suspense short story, "Walk Me Home." #WritingCommunity

Society: “women are too emotional.”

Meanwhile, men commit ~90% of violent crime, start ~99% of wars, and commit ~98% of sexual violence.

@tiffUGHnee @yvessirae They would and they do. It was common when I was a teen.

@SpiritedSparr0w I’m 60 now. I have an expression I think about when dealing with the much younger women at work and in my neighborhood.
“Be who you needed when you were younger”
Bring your niece a casserole after she has a baby, and bring her th paper plates.

Remember folks, when a bunch of 35-40 year old "Young Republicans" were caught joking about Hitler and gas chambers J.D. Vance called them "kids"

But 15 year old girls in the Epstein Files are "young women". It's sick.

@DanWJackson @JocastaMoney Not a tiny fraction. 6-12% based on studies—and a lot more who say they would rape if they thought they could get away with it.

I know we've long left chivalry in the past but the contrast between Pretti trying to protect a woman being pushed around by big tough Ice man and then an Ice agent shooting the prone, disarmed Pretti multiple times in the back, has to be one of the starkest contrasts between honor and cowardice caught in a few seconds of video.

@SmalllIvy @Goldmoone @DrPlantel Are you seriously claiming that 80-90% of people don’t marry? That’s not just wrong but insane. Marriage records and stats are public. Current data shows just under half of all Americans are married. Get off the incel forums and live in reality.

@MarshaIngrao Aww, thanks so much, Marsha!

if you say the words “wow I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me”, even in your own head, every single one of your current Libby holds will descend upon you all at once like wolves on a limping deer

@rockguitardude @_emilyrarick Same. We’ve had panels on 3 different houses including our current one. No problems whatsoever, including with roof leaks, insurance, or selling the home.

@JReidenouer @_nomadic_soul As the saying goes, Men want kids the way kids want a puppy.

@DrNeilStone I’ll never understand why parents would rather their kids suffer unnecessarily than offer safe, effective relief. Acetaminophen is a wonderful drug for teething pain, it and ibuprofen both help with growing pains and routine aches and pains, as well as pain from colds and flu.

@MalloryMable I loved literature until everything I had to read in school was horribly depressing.

@DrNeilStone I had an adverse reaction to the Pfizer vax and still have no regrets. COVID creates much worse adverse reactions.

@Chamberpaint @JamesTate121 They were the bullies in school, if my high school classmates are any indication.

@Eman856 @Acyn TIL batteries don’t exist.

@ksorbs “European” isn’t a nation or a heritage. Italian is a heritage. Irish is a heritage. And it’s absolutely fine to be proud of those.
