Isn't this beautiful and doesn't 2/25/25 seem like an auspicious publication date for a short story collection? 💛

- “I’m not sexist,” say voters. “It’s just that I find ambitious women threatening and repugnant.”
- From a sincerity standpoint, I'm troubled that Old Navy sells these notecards in packs of 8.
- Tonight a man told me not to take it the wrong way but he considers reading fiction a waste of time and I asked what he did and then told him not to take it the wrong way but I consider commercial real estate a waste of time.
- At least once a day I think about how Buttigieg seems smart, has a delightful husband & is the literal embodiment of the truism that women are evaluated based on experience and men are evaluated based on promise. (In 2015, he was elected mayor with 8500 votes. Not by. With.)NEW #IOWAPOLL: Buttigieg: 25% Warren: 16% Biden: 15% Sanders: 15% Klobuchar: 6% Booker: 3% Gabbard: 3% Harris: 3% Steyer: 3% Yang: 3% Bloomberg: 2% Bennet: 1% No other candidate polled above 0%. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
- 1) I've written 7 books wearing sweatpants 2) "Working at home" and "working at home during a pandemic" are COMPLETELY different.

- I like to think Biden would find this yard sign as funny & delightful as I do
- Prep was published 15 years ago today 🎂🥳 If you’ve ever read one of my books, whether it was in January 2005 or last week, thank you for being part of my writing life.
- Whatever the copy editor of my story collection is being paid, it's not enough 😊
- A journalist asked if I'm worried that my new novel's title or cover will deter men but I'm not because all seven of my male readers are very loyal and I actually think they'll like it
- I can't lie--I'm VERY excited to learn that blurbing yourself is a thing.
- Is there anything a woman running for office can do without being criticized? I ask the question seriously. Replies welcome.Is there anything Gillibrand has done that is not contrived and opportunistic? I ask the question seriously. Replies welcome.
