Amazing how much men do not like it when you treat them the way you see them treat the women around them.

And this is why my emails have gone unanswered for months, I assume? No one was able to reach out to me?

I'd appreciate it if someone would reach out to me then because my book is out but none of the contractual agreements have been met on my end.

People with souls and consciences are trying to understand people without. Because trying to understand is our nature. We're learning, painfully, that it can be impossible. Some people lack anything within themselves we can connect to and understand. Some people are terrible. They are voids.

And then, out of nowhere, my husband stopped in work with a bag…
In the bag—
My husband is ✨ the best ✨

If you don't eat GF and bought a load of GF Cheez-Its to flip on eBay for ridic prices, I hope you get stuck with a ton of them and then choke on them. I will wait another 16 years for a Cheez-It than buy from poachers.
Note: I have no issue with straight up resellers. Just this kind of shit.

Home sick today and watching one of my sick day movies for the last 30+ years. Most times I mention this movie people say, “never heard of it”. Which is a damn shame since I think it’s a classic example of a dark 90s thriller.

remember kids: generative AI is created by, in service to, and directly feeds the Fascism Machine.

if you use generative AI, you are directly supporting and feeding said Fascism Machine.

Our country is in such a state that witnessing a moment of real humanity and kindness brings me to tears instantly. Seeing humanity, empathy, and kindness should not be the outlier. It should be the norm.

Merry Merry Christmas, folks. Hope it’s festive as hell. 🎅🏻 🎄

We must have been watching it at the same time because I posted it about 30 seconds after it happened on my tv lol

Merry Christmas (Eve), ya filthy animals

“Ooooh that’s bleeding a lot” is not something you want to hear 😅

Just me sitting at the dermatologist as a new patient because I fucked up and made an appointment at an all new place. But I’m here so…😅🫠

Yes! I just went to another doc and immediately got a survey request. I wasn’t even to my car yet.

I’m pretty sure I have an appointment 🤔
I wonder if I’ll get any more before morning lol

I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I have gotten no less than 8 reminders between phone calls, texts, and emails. 3 of them after I clicked the link to confirm my appointment AND texted to confirm. Jeesh 🫠

Today's mood:

Remember to shop small and haunted this season. I have most of my books available on my site aliseay.com and every order comes with a bag of goodies. A lot of indie authors sell signed copies so always check with us first 👀 ☠️ 🕯️ 🎄

Tall green Christmas tree with soft purple/green lights and some jewel tone lights as well. Surroundings are a slightly messy room mid-decorating.

Can we talk about what a sensory nightmare LED lights are? This is our tree this year. Halloween incandescents instead of the soft white I prefer.Because in LED land nothing is soft. And everything is overwhelming and stress producing. If anyone has any suggestions for non blinding white lights lmk

Happy day 🦃

Monday's off to a rip roaring start, I see. I'm going to need more caffeine for this.

If your heart and soul are in need of some hope and goodness this was an excellent documentary from PBS. Free on YouTube and other platforms.

These last few weeks I was doing two hefty rereads. Both books on the long side for me (518 p/489 p)
Ironically both also were:
Set at a university
Published in the early 90s
I was pleasantly surprised that both had stood the test of time for me. Sometimes you can go home again.

When we get a rush and everyone needs help wirelessly printing... 😅

10 a.m. and I'm peopled out 😅

I'm very much a 90 minutes and done movie person. It's my preferred length and format lol. Get in, see horror, get out! But we watched Frankenstein last night and might I say, amazing. Poignant, beautiful, awful, profound, visually stunning. Not a wasted moment in it.

This was so much better than I expected. We really liked it. Joely Richardson was amazing. Currently free on Tubi 👀 (and a Tubi original!)
