It is harmful and insulting to hear OCD used a an adjective. Happened the other day when I met a mom in my kids' dance class. A disorder disrupts your life, making normal functioning impossible. It's not an adjective.

Just finished BRAVE FACE, a memoir by @ShaunieDarko. More required reading for teens and parents, alongside Bill Konigsberg’s THE BRIDGE. #yalit #memoir

At last night's SCBWI_IL Far Northern Suburbs meeting, we had several new members. One of which joined us from halfway around the world! No idea how she decided to join our little group but it's pretty cool to see the reach of this organization! #kidlit #scbwi

Capitalizing on #DNCChicago to say I wrote a book,THE WAR ON ALL FRONTS, that starts in 1967 & ends in 1968. Another DNC is heavily featured near the end along with the festivities in Grant Park leading up to it. I learned a lot & and so did Sam #yalit #histfic #pigasus

This #histfic writer is very grateful for interlibrary loan today. And grateful for YA versions of historical topics. Much more palatable sometimes! #amresearching #yalit #libraries

Announcing ‘FIGHT TO WIN,’ the young readers edition of my book ‘FIGHT LIKE HELL’! It focuses on 21 labor organizers, union leaders, and everyday workers who changed the world for the better. I can’t wait to share these stories with the next generation of troublemakers 🔥

Abortion is health care. Tim Walz proudly supports abortion rights. Meanwhile… JD Vance is saying whatever he thinks people want to hear and continues to lie about his views on abortion. The choice is clear. #VPDebate2024

My daughter has OCD. She doesn’t wash her hands incessantly or flick light switches. She constantly questions. Questions me, herself, everything. Her brain won’t let her rest sometimes. #OCDAwarenessWeek

Sometimes when attempting to explain my daughter's OCD to teachers, I know it sounds like the thought should be something she can deal with and power through. I thought the same thing for a long time. #OCDAwarenessWeek

So much of OCD is about uncertainty. Even seemingly petty uncertainty. Is it going to rain on Halloween? Why don't you know? Will the weather be wrong? #OCDAwarenessWeek

I want to talk to all the guys for a second. Think about all the women in your life that you love – daughters, wives, moms, cousins, neighbors. This election is about their lives and protecting their freedoms.

There is still time to make a plan to vote this Election Day. I am in Allentown to speak with Pennsylvanians about the power of Americans' vote and voice. Tune in now. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
