I don't mean to freak people out but, I sit behind a screen all day and...*weeps*...it happened to me. I am a woman. Office culture gave me estrogen. *sobs* The soft touch of my keyboard made me menstruate *wails*

Thank you 🥳

I finished a rough draft outline for my new project today and I’m so pleased with where this story can go 🥰

Casual reminder to *only* call your own representatives. Calls to other reps will not get tallied but will block calls from actual constituents that can get tallied. 🤓👍📞

We know many of you are opting to write emails instead. Totally fine! But if you do so, we strongly advise against copy/pasting our call scripts into emails. Repetitious written msgs can easily get filtered out as form letters and trashed. Emails/letters are most effective w unique personal mgs! 🤓👍📞

just an FYI that the @5calls.org app is SO useful for contacting your legislators for important issues. they provide the names, numbers, and scripts with instructions, and I highly recommend.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE]. YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid. YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed. YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]

Call script:

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I want to make this abundantly clear: fascism headed by tech oligarchs does not have a border. Whether you’re in a blue state or another country, it’s spreading like wildfire. Their greed is limitless. Hold your community close. We need each other now more than ever.

hi #booksky! I’m Kelsey Rodkey, an author of 4 YA romcoms! I write about morally gray, plus-size girls who mistake their way to happy endings 💙

I’m so serious about this. Do not increase your time on meta platforms. In fact, over the next 48 hours, give your attention to somewhere else. Don’t reward Zuckerberg for this. 1/

And if it does come back, it’ll 100% be owned by m*ta and SUCK and and and

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

I miss TikTok already

It’s a smart idea, really!

Remember the time someone walked into a school with a book and malicious intent and—oh.

So we're banning Tik Tok and books in the US but not assault weapons? Got it.

Yep, I’d say she’s girly!

every month should have little treat calendars

Smoking outside of a cancer hospital is a wild choice
