Writing is the only hobby I've ever stuck with because I am addicted to the brain stretch feeling that comes with learning a new trick. The galaxy brain THRILL I get from making new connections, trying out techniques, adding layers, solving plot puzzles. It's unmatched.
does anyone want a girlslop pinktax essay about how i feel like i, 30, have to buy and wear makeup and some nicer clothes for all my Author Public Appearances but if i were some 30 yr old dude i could just show up in jeans and a t shirt and no one would give a shit?
I shared a sad Casmia drabble for this month's short story, for those in my First Readers tier. ko-fi.com/Post/short-s...
I need you to know that being proud of yourself and your art and your life and not hating yourself is an extremely loud form of rebellion that the system does not like. They want us to hate ourselves so we're easier to control and they want us to hate our work so they can pay us less. Don't do it.
Love being back in Ohio.
If anyone wants to buy books so that I can deal with this, I would not complain.

I would love that. 🥺
DUDE if we ever play in a TTRPG together you play Al and I will bring Celin and we can have a time.
Another episode of THE LIBRARIAN'S APPRENTICE. Here, Rina explores a shifting forest with a scaly, breathing floor and a forge where sparks turn into books. And maybe? Makes a friend? Or maybe an annoyance? Hard to say. ko-fi.com/post/THE-LIB...
It's raining so the dog is sulking, oldest cat is hiding somewhere (probably under my bed), and youngest cat is just chilling on her hammock.
Me: You are the tiniest and bravest of all the pets.
Youngest Cat: [screams at me amiably]
Me: Because you're a little demon.
Youngest Cat: 😊
Put on The Weight of the Woods before I went out and honestly how dare Dermot Kennedy get me yearning at the grocery store. What am I supposed to do with that, sir?
Really only need maybe $500 more on this just for new furniture/appliances (the cookware and bookshelves will be the biggest costs and then I have a couple smaller things to get). I move in a week! www.gofundme.com/f/help-alex-...
Now starting The Wounds of Wisdom by @thetomatowriter.bsky.social for my second #IndieApril read!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Enjoy!
Omg he looks so soft here. I wanna give pets.
Alright I've got the April rent and the paid moving help pretty much covered. What I need now is some financial help for a few new furniture pieces (desk and bookshelves primarily). Again, anything helps! www.gofundme.com/f/help-alex-...
i say this often and i believe it. it got kind of uncool, during the obama era i think, to be anti-war because war itself is barbaric, unjust, and outright evil. but it is, and you can oppose war on those grounds alone.
You can also support me on Ko-Fi, whether with a one-time tip or with a monthly subscription to one of my tiers (where you'll get lots of cool bonus stuff). ko-fi.com/thetomatowri...
I still need some help getting ready for my move in two weeks! At this point I have the double rent just about covered, but I'll need help for hiring someone from Taskrabbit and getting some new furniture. www.gofundme.com/f/help-alex-...

Rina has a tense conversation with her not-dad, gains very few answers, and sets off on her library journey in my playthrough of The Librarian's Apprentice! ko-fi.com/post/THE-LIB...
An AITAH mockup that reads AITAH Breaking Up/Mexico Trip Hi, I (M/31) proposed to my gf (F/30) but she told me I had to remove my best friend Hannah (F/29) from my life if she said yes. I told her I couldn't lose Hannah and she told me "then you're losing me." Called Hannah that night to pack her bags, we were going to MX the next day so I could get out of my head. In Mexico she told me she thought she liked me. Long story short, I kissed her but then told her I didn't mean it because I'm all she has and didn't want to ruin our friendship. She left MX early and ended our friendship. On top of it all, my mom thinks I was a fucking idiot for not just being with Hannah. Thoughts?
A bluesky post that says Shrödingers Flirt: where I am both Totally Kidding and Actually Flirting depending on whether or not you're into it.
A Tumblr post that reads: "their relationship is strictly platonic" "they're so in love" well, more importantly, they are fucking weird and abnormal about each other in an undeniable way
The Bernie Sanders "i am once again" meme that says "Me, to me" up top and below says "I am once again healing my parental issues through writing loving, supportive parents"

For 11 years, friends debate what counts as sex before a pre-writing exercise proves the answer. A mom meddles to get her son laid as she reads his friend's sexual fantasies.
Jesus, what am I writing?! Love this pitch event!

I brought the goal down to 1k which meaaaans I'm over a quarter of the way to my goal! And I move in 2 and a half weeks, so I could still very much use some help! www.gofundme.com/f/help-alex-...
