Just one more reason to love #kidlit. Thx to @goraina and her new book GUTS, I’ve got pages flagged so my 11YO and I can talk about her anxiety, fears and therapy. Talk about mental health with your kids!

My family pays $16,000 a year to simply HAVE insurance. Crappy insurance. This would torpedo our income and self-employment. Just disastrous. teapawt.net/jonfavs/status/9925420…

He hit the nail on the head. The increases to individual insurance market in VA are astronomical. Any tax savings don’t even come close. teapawt.net/ironstache/status/9352…

It doesn’t matter if the @GOP gives me a $1,000 tax cut if I have to spend an extra $4,000 on healthcare because of their bill. Reject the GOP #TaxScam. vox.com/policy-and-politics/…

The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year. TIME does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6.

Found this quote from a conf I️ attended years ago. “When you’re doing your life’s work, your life works.” So, I️ #amwriting.
When your kid loves a book so much he takes off the jacket, staples in blank pages and draws his own underwear. Thank you, @itspeterbrown.
