I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.
It is my mid-term goal as an author to someday be able to afford physical copies of my own books.
Went to used bookstore today. Shelves are looking sparse. Asked the old lady owner if they're closing. They're not closing, she said they just can't keep books in stock because they're flying off the shelves faster than they're coming in.
Thank you! I love him so much and I can't wait to terrorize my husband with him!
I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.
A plush of Peachfuzz from The Creep Tapes. He has a scary, grey, wolfish face pulled into a snarl with wild grey hair. In one hand is an ax and the other is a VHS tape with the name Aaron on it. He wears a dark hoodie and dark pants.
My most beautiful boy arrived in the mail today! Everything about him is perfect 🖤

Being queer is actually so much fun. I get to look at heteronormative bullshit and go "nah I'm not feeling that" and just... not participate in it
starbucks just partnered with chat-gpt

Is this winning?
Destroying forests for this, and affecting the watershed, along with ruining the Haw River riparian habitat by being adjacent to important natural areas. Disney does this in Florida, too.

I don’t care what anyone says. Audiobooks do count towards your reading goal. ✨
I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.
When the earth was dry and the animals came down, it was still dark,
That looks absolutely DIVINE
When you drop a bomb on civilians, I think that’s murder. I don’t really care for any justifications. They’re people. The enormity of the loss is devastating and it’s easier for some people to look away. But for other people, that’s their family. Their children. It’s just sickening and so wrong.

image from inside Artemis II text: i need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one's late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like.
I hope when Ralph Sepe said "this Eyeore-looking motherfucker" he knew it would enter someone's vernacular like an invasive species. And that someone is me
Any school that removes books that promote empathy, cultural understanding, history and critical thought needs to be investigated for neglect. I don't think this is up for debate. If you're not teaching children this, what the fuck are you teaching them??

Visited my husband at work to do an energy drink run for our coworkers on my day off because solidarity doesn't end when you're off the clock 💪🏻
Being an author can sometimes feel like repeatedly and purposefully stubbing your toe on the same corner of furniture
So hated
Too many discussions about books end up with a bunch of people talking about how smart they were for not liking the book in question.
Ah fuck me I thought of so much fabulous dialogue last night while I was trying to sleep but trying to come up with any right now is like pulling teeth
I want fully staffed public pools, and libraries that are cathedrals to public goods and a society where walling yourself off with money is viewed as sociopathic.
