A grey tabby kitten with blue eyes barely open, wrapped in a blanket.

This little guy is finally letting me get more sleep, so I’ve spent the day actually being coherent.

What looks like an almost triangular rock with water coming out of the middle; surrounded by small pebbles.

Got a rejection today and really needed a win, so I installed a little fountain bubbler for myself.

I’ve cried to so many Artemis edits I’ve given myself a headache.

That’s enough for today.

Gosh darn it I KNEW as son as I saw the wind this morning somebody was gonna start a fire.

New bby

Cat Distribution System thought it was a grand joke to leave us a kitten under the porch this morning.

On a field trip with my kids and the host asked what sound road runners make.

All the parents answered confidently “Meep Meep!”

GRRM is so irritating for me. His prose is good. It draws me in. But his world is so miserable!

Creators: don't let the red-line where others abandoned their dreams affect YOU.

Invention is not a pack activity. You take your chances and make your choices alone.

Sheep want you in the fold for their safety and to justify their own fear of not belonging.

DON'T LISTEN!

I’ve been trying to update my authorial internet presence, and man is it hard to keep up with everything! Kinda see why I burned out on it for a while. But the links all work; no account has actually died.

That’s good? linktr.ee/angelicafiori

Here's the full cover art of @shantiland.bsky.social and my comic adaptation of @travisbaldree.bsky.social's Legends & Lattes! We've been working on it for the last year, and I'm so excited that it'll be available to cozy up with this fall 😊☕

Oh gosh I read through all this and didn’t realize I was real time.

I'd love it if people shared around this sale I've organized! It's all cozy books, for those of you who liked the far light side of the spectrum.

Oh NOooo! We had a year where they *almost* turned into locusts. They were so big and demon looking and they kept clogging the pool filter. 😱😭

😱😱😱 Nightmare!!

I’m down to #3 in the submission queue I entered like 3 months ago and I don’t know what to do with myself.

Acceptance or rejection, I won’t be waiting anymore. What will I do with my daily check in reminder?

Whenever we see someone driving weird, we shrug it off and say “sorry about the bees!” because we are just assuming they have a bee in their car!

What I Have Available for Award Consideration, 2026 Edition If you’re the sort of person who nominates stuff for awards, this year I have a number of works available for your consideration. For the sake of convenience I’m using the Hugo Award ca…

Sorry about my driving this morning THERE WAS A SPIDER

Found out today that for our whole lives both my husband and I imagined Lembas as Walker’s Shortbread and never told the other.

A meme made by me. Screenshot from the Pokémon anime. A boy stands with his arms raised while four people aim weapons at him. Over the boy, it says "me" and over the gun wielding people it says "Rising prices, depression, bills, no work"

Just trying to live, man..

I've been very out of touch with social media for a while. The shine of it really started to get to me, and I'd rather be writing. The main thing on my mind is the phase of life I'm currently in, focusing on one WIP, and whether or not I can afford to go to WorldCon.

Reminder! PodCastle is open for submissions through April! SUBMIT (your stories) TO THE DRAGON!!🐉🐉🐉

Just found out the next WorldCon is in LA (ish) and now I’m really wanting to go.

Wonder if it’s worth it?

Today I might close the tab in my browser for the artist I commissioned a piece from and then never received. This was 3 years ago. Eventually got ghosted and I’m afraid to contact them after so long, as I feel it’s my fault at this point.

Idk, maybe I’ll leave it there a little longer. 🫣😅

Been submitting over the past week and shoutout to PodCastle for making me laugh with their hard no on selfie stories. Instant love for their beleaguered editors.

Anyone have a lead on calls where a weird west story might find a home?

The only good part of funerals is hanging out with the same age cousins I haven’t seen in a while and getting up to the same trouble we used to.

This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)
