Months ago, I shared the story of 2 very brave young brothers who escaped from Afghanistan to Upstate NY.

Thrilled to report that, against all odds, they’re now reunited w/ their parents after years apart.❤️

It’s been a while since I posted.

But the story of Jeff & his family of senior dogs is so full of love that I had to share.

Thanks to @14850today for publishing.🙏❤️🐾

How amazing this writing life where we get to experiment with words, rewrite, change meanings, and some day, perhaps, conclude!

Happy new week, writers!

You’ve written another book, so you think this first draft will flow in coherent order. Not so. First drafts are like swimming in wide open water.

Here’s to not knowing and being at peace with it!

BREAKING: Kamala Harris has filled a stadium in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to the brim. This is a county that voted for Trump in 2020. Retweet so all Americans see this and know we’re not going back.

Laredo is also part of our “Extended Stay Club”. We didn’t include him in our last posting because he had an adopter lined up.

Unfortunately, the adoption fell through and he’s back to square one with trying to find his forever family.

@KerryWBernard Omg I love these🐝💛🐝

Do you remember growing up with the constant threat of school shootings? I don't. Most Gen X and millennials don't. So no, they aren't a "fact of life," @JDVance.

Five years ago today, Scout became the First Dog of Minnesota.

We like to say he rescued us as much as we rescued him.

Let this be your reminder that there are lots of pets out there waiting to find their forever homes!

Just as a reminder, kids are not dying in fucking mass readings. We need to be banning guns not books.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Last year, the student responsible for today’s shooting threatened to kill people at school. Because there wasn’t “probable cause,” the FBI made no arrests. Georgia doesn’t have a red flag law, so police also didn’t remove guns from the 13 year old’s home. https://t.co/gcB2IPgxQi

You know you live in Ithaca when someone advertises a secondhand tapestry for sale & describes it as “most recently used as a room divider in a yurt.”

@jmmy_jrdn You’ve been doing a great job reporting the strike. Thx for keeping us informed.

[Kate Catalano Collins @kcollins213]

@GothamNurse I am so sorry for your loss. I went through this recently also. It is surreal & sad sad sad.

Winston knew love.❤️

I love that the DNC DJ had to play “Motownphilly” and “Black and Yellow” to rep Eastern and Western Pennsylvania. Like a musical Wawa and Sheetz shoutout.

[Kate Catalano Collins @kcollins213]

Something about the cool darkness of this hour makes me want to crawl into my WIP world & never come back out. #5amWritersClub #amwriting
