What a trip that would have been.

If I can’t prevent myself from being a horror movie protagonist, I can at least be one where the audience doesn’t feel I deserve it for being a total dumbass.

Watching The Hallow, and can I just say that one thing I love about my husband is that if I said “We have offended Irish mythology, time to go!” he would be packing a suitcase before I finished the sentence?

A+ response 😊

"Science Fiction Book." Well, that's a new one. Not like I don't already have a few of those. 🤣 @scalzi.com

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: distracted the drug dog because I had left cheese in my bag.

Dog shoved his whole head in my backpack and I said “Uh, I have cheese…?” and the handler sighed deeply and waved me on.

Niamos! Love it.

I just chatted with a nice man about books. Then I looked up his name.

Gonzo just asked me about my books.

If you need me, I’ll be dead.

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

You HAVE to celebrate good things. Even if they’re tiny and fragile and may blow away. In fact, you have to celebrate the fragile ones EVEN HARDER because who knows how many chances you get?

If you constantly think how it will all go wrong, if every triumph is met with “but…” you will burn out.

Travel, I love you but I hate the run-up.

Me, any time I travel anywhere. 🤣🫠

I do not, sorry!

Today in impulse purchases I do not in any way regret: the Mara Jade lightsaber. 😍

YOU KNOW THE RULE

I appreciate that Duolingo’s current lesson starts with “I am tired” and “I am not okay.”

Nice! I love having my Star Wars shelves behind me on camera.

I've had these sets for a long time. It feel great to finally have them out where I can see them.

Today in "projects that took 45 minutes and 10 years," I finally got my Star Wars Micro Machine mini heads displayed.

Yay, you got one! (I might have got one too.)

Omg that's amazing. You need it.

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians.

Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number.

"This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers."

I walked out.

ME: The great thing about writing fantasy is that you can make stuff up!
ALSO ME: *spends twenty minutes reading about isopod pseudo-lungs to make sure it’s accurate*

I use "(gestures at the world)" but yeah

And as a corollary, it would be really nice if reviewers didn’t keep calling adult books written by women YA. I lost count of the times NETTLE & BONE got described as YA. The heroine is THIRTY. I wrote it for adults! It is fine if teens want to read it, but it’s not YA and that is FINE.

I'm sad I never got to do one! Dave did a few buy it never worked out for me to go.

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

I would definitely read this.
