@Sweetgrass_Kid She can get a guilt trip in before even lodging the request! That's like Level 10 stuff!

@AuthorLeishman I never hid my Wisconsin accent, but everyone think I'm from Minnesota or Canada. Lots of post-its in my cubicle with "aboot" and "yeah no" and "ope" from coworkers trying to speak my language. 😂

I'm in my annual reread of Jaws and, as always, wondering why Vermouth gets more page time than Brody's kids. 🤣

I get my mug. The kitten gets his mug. I settle in for a writing session. The kitten wreaks havoc. Morning rituals ☀️

@barb_avon @DanNEO_SS Modern teenagers don't say "Tbh..". They'd call us old for even calling them modern and having this conversation about it. 😂

Every generation there's a study like this, and the numbers get more outlandish. In the 90, they told us "In '71, a single mom making min wage as a waitress could support 2 kids"...maybe so, but you know they were dead broke eating government cheese. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Did the study talk to living people who were there? 🙄 My grandma was 41 making $35,000/yr and that was her lifestyle after 21 years at her job as an insurance underwriter (1st female one in the country!) carrying a husband who couldn't hold a job and 1 kid..

BREAKING: New study finds that a minimum-wage worker in 1971 had a lifestyle affordability similar to someone making $100K today.

In '71 my future father, 21, made minimum wage laying insulation. He was single, no kids, supporting his mother, shitty apartment w/ roaches in a bad neighborhood, a decent car he repaired himself, no ac, no vacays, no restaurants...

My husband would text back, "What??" Then he'd 💡 1/2 hour later. 😂

@VelmaHamdan @Am_hailey I grew up with Milwaukee libraries. Highly recommend the Downtown branch because it's gorgeous, but the others are equally well-stocked too. 🙂

She’s gorgeous! Really proud of this one. I can’t wait for you all to get your hands on my debut novel. A dark, propulsive, crime-suspense thriller blending trauma, obsession, and a damaged heroine’s uncompromising fight for the truth. Coming October 13th.

@MillerDakotaJ My husband has a meniscus tear as well (MRI in June too!). His ortho thru private insurance said those tears don't heal on their own & need surgery to repair it. I'd be on the warpath if a Dr. accused him of lying about being in excruciating pain. 😡

@BHolshouserUS Generative AI has no place in creative spaces. Art is for humans. It's a hard boundary for me.

OMG, isn't this just perfect! Never thought it could be accurately captured in a sculpture.

Everything's crazy at work & our power was out at home for days cuz of storms, so I haven't written a word in over a week. I need a fishing nap and a writing retreat. 😭
