This is the face of someone who just signed another contract! Woohoo!

Dear friendos,

Mystery solved! My mom sent it and forgot to tell me. Thanks da mama! (Still not drinking from it!) 🤣🤣🤣

FFS, just write your book like a normal person and leave the artbarf robots out of it, goddamn.

IDK. I was more into Sesshomaru.

I’ve always wanted to create a large scale microplastic recycling initiative that focused on cleaning up oceans and ocean-bound trash. I think I’d totally build something in several of the ocean garbage patches to do that. Creating sustainable jobs and saving the planet, FTW!

Someone’s totally punking me! LOL!

Kinda. The colors are very “sweets” looking. I… just… don’t know who sent it!

Can anyone tell me what this is? (I feel like I should do that wrong answers only meme thing, but I’m not even sure what a right answer would look like!) I received it in the mail yesterday, and it had no card, no sender, nothing to identify who it’s from. Um… I feel like I’m getting punked somehow.

Cover reveal & crowdfunding announcement!

I have written another book. Project Tasman is a sapphic dystopian book about a woman in a psychological experiment. I'm so excited to share this beautiful cover from @bmwillows.bsky.social

I really only eat one meal a day, so I snack a lot, and I’m constantly looking for things beyond hummus and carrots or chips and salsa. This is sooooo perfect! Thanks for the great idea!!!

That sounds fantastic! I know what’s getting added to my shopping list this week!!!

TVs on gas pumps? she asks in Rural Idahoan.

Such fake news! How much you wanna bet these “leaders” are either all white or not even “leaders”? (Paranoia hat on says that these “leaders” are people associated with the store, not actual boycotters.) Even if they reinstate their DEI initiatives, the damage is done. Never shopping there again!

Ugh. A minor win, but they’re just gonna find a new way to use the AI feature. So, the lesson here is to just fucking learn the language you are supposed to be an expert using. Stop using crutches like this.

So much this!

🫂 Feel better! 🫂

Fuck Grammarly and fuck GenAI. Never used their “service,” and now, absolutely never will. But honestly, saw this company adopting AI miles away.

My dad is fighting right now, so this hit super hard. My heart hurts, and I’m so sorry for your loss.

Add in a shop cat and you’re living the dream!

I like belated birthday wishes! It means my celebration gets extended! LOL! Thanks for the thoughts. It was a wonderful and relaxing day!

I’m glad I moved. Kansas was awful before this. Now it’s just deadly. And I know that Idaho probably isn’t far behind… which makes me incensed that I even moved back.

That sounds super frustrating and I kinda hate that for you. Not that I would like any part of you to be able to have a cigarette… because they *are* awful. But choice is a thing, and it sounds like you weren’t given that.

My dad went from chain to minimal to a pack a day to quitting. All to do it over and over again. He now has stage four metastatic lung cancer and has had two lobectomies. I can’t smell a cigarette without getting physically ill now. (FYI, he’s doing okay, clinical trial is going well.)

That looks spectacular!

I like how the new cons begin with “you’re awesome, your books are amazing”. I dislike the “now pay us for doing nothing” bit that follows.

Thanks so much!

Thank you for the wonderful wishes!
