Super delighted that Avengers Academy: Marvel Voices won a GLAAD award last night! I had a blast writing my July installment last year and am so grateful that my editor was able to step up when I gave birth in the middle of production.

Cats out of the bag! I wrote a new thing! Announcement things TK later!

Dear BlindLady is the natural successor to Being Seen. So you believe in ableism and now you see how fucked we are?

There’s a handbook for that!

Writing a book proposal is the most mind numbing process to get to a creative endeavour. But here I am doing it anyway.

Mostly well now, but it's shocking how much my body needs sleep

So I had COVID. I'm back after a week of rest. I am very ready to not be tired anymore.

You send me the best text messages

And don’t use a hose to wash the ash off your car/bike/what have you. Water + ash = lye, and there goes your paint job.

I finally started Shadow of the Tomb Raider today, just in time to find out there actually WILL Be a fourth game

Do I take my corgi to the queer tech networking event? Asking for a me.

These numbers are rounding errors to Disney & Netflix. It can’t be cost that’s the concern, they simply don’t want to give an inch to the workers providing key value to their business lest it gives other workers ideas.

Eldest keeps saying "I forgot to put my mask on after recess" but it's the same story every time, and I just. Sigh.
