The Paper Sparrow

I thought moving back to Alaska would give me time to figure out my life. I was wrong. But the biggest challenge wasn't being flat broke and directionless—it was running into six-and-a-half-feet of tattooed muscle, only clad in custom-leather. Jasmine geni.us/NyphraziGods...

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things. Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

Giving thought to what I'll wear on the day Dumpy's funeral finally happens, and while I like this one, I'm not sure it's festive enough. Maybe more frills?

If you really want to help…simply post this everywhere-social media. Then print them out & tape them inside bathrooms at the Cracker Barrel & other boomer places. They need to be educated, and fox isn’t Going to do it. They don’t know they get Medicaid!! When they wake up- it’s gonna be wild.

This is the Dems secret weapon. Funny !!!

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

I just turned off all my facebook ads. With people voting with their check books, the sales ROI has taken a dive and I'll be damned if I'll pay the rich dudes out of my pocket. Now I just need to wait for KU contracts to time out so I can have my books for sale in more places, including direct.

To be honest, nothing would surprise me about the thirst for money and power from some. youtube.com/shorts/YaFGa...

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Is it wrong that one of my favorite characters is a dog? I'll be okay so long as Mia, the tabby in residence, doesn't find out.

When the need for a drink and supporting Canada collide...

Never has supporting another member of the Commonwealth been so delicious. I'll get the Oh Canada brand next time.

Do we think Costco would be interested in stocking e-books and paperbacks? I think there might be a gap in the market when it comes to ethical book retailers.

Just been onto Google earth and put Gulf of Mexico and Mt Denali place tags on the map. It's only a small thing, but it's my way of telling Google that name changes for favors is unnacceptable.

Brilliant.

Well, this is going to be awkward... youtube.com/watch?v=hruW...

It's always good to screen shot some things, especially with the newly appointed Minister of Health being pro-life, and all.

🚨 🚨 🚨 HOMEWORK 🚨 🚨 🚨 The email address for federal workers to inform on their colleagues is DEIAtruth@opm.gov. Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless.

Why yes, I did just block the VP and Whitehouse accounts on Instagram. No way do I want trash like that polluting my timeline.

Editor's on deck this morning! #authorlife

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

*THIS* is the energy we are bringing into #2025goals

One of the coolest things about publishing a book in Norway is that the gov will automatically buy 1k copies, 1.5K if its a children's book, these will then be distributed to all the libraries.

Does this mean the price of eggs will go up after all? youtu.be/7pIlsjDuZtM?...

Hmmm, when you realize you've got a 3-book series lurking down the back of a virtual drawer and that's just screaming to take flight. It would seem that 2025 is going to be a very busy year. Actually, busy may well be an understatement.

No Plan, No Idea, No Ferries. Today’s announcement by the Minister of Finance means we don't know: - where replacement ferries are coming from - how much they will cost - who will pay for them - how the port infrastructure will be delivered, - the fiscal or economic impact A 🧵

There's still time to help yourself to the books in this promo. Definitely worth checking out with a wide range on offer.

Considering the less than stellar weather today, this bodes well for tomorrow. #redskyatnight
