This does not align with my experience at all. I feel sorry for this woman.

The seeds -- huge, oval, gleaming and iridescent as the shell of abalone -- go into the ground the night before the big storm. I push them in deep, enjoying the cool earth.

They're slow growers; I knew that, of course. "These ain't no magic beans, missus," the old man warned me, chortling.

a bear vacuuming a floor as a japanese salaryman looks on in terror

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

Apparently bats, who fly awake, smash into each other all the time, so maybe?

Me watching the end of episode five of Heated Rivalry:

It’s so fucking fantastic. A tour de force of acting, writing, directing….

I do not know, but it makes sense

L: A young W B Yeats wearing pince nez and a large bow tie. R: A middle-aged Aleister Crowley wearing a large (possibly homburg) black hat and the ‘I’m mad, me’ expression that he always put on for photos

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

I understand the first book is the subplot and the second book is the primary plot

I was told having kids would make me conservative (and that paying my own taxes would do the same). Instead it's rejuvenated my socialism. I see how kind people are to us every day, and they're a reminder that everyone, even the jerks, was once an innocent kid that deserved a better world.

I watched him sing it on the Late Show recently; I had closed captions on, and I was very: THAT’S what the lyrics are?

Wow. Wow.

Just like wow.

I’d register twice to hear that

Me realizing I caused “maximum offence” to “””gender critical””” people

It’s hard to believe in the stakes if the show doesn’t seem to, and I wonder if that’s particularly true of romance?

My antennae are always out for being condescended to, in tv or movie romance.

Oh my god, I’d forgotten about the styracosaurus

An orange cover of my book with a blue pickup truck and a curvy girl in a purple pant suit beside a grumpy guy with his arms folded.

My latest book, While You Were Seething, is out now! The last of my curvy girl romcom series is here at last. It‘s enemies to lovers, it has only one elevator and only one tent and road tripping. He’s a romance writer! And you can get it at these places!

A painting of Lucifer tempting Jesus in the desert. Lucifer is INCREDIBLY naked, dirty, and lurid, rubbing up ons Jesus' robes from behind; his hand is open in offering and is placed in front of Jesus' crotch

I just re-found this painting, which was in a kid's bible I had growing up. I used to obssess over it, and I'm pretty sure seeing Lucifer here was the first time I thought a man was attractive? Over the years I'd think "it couldn't possibly be as horny as I remember it", but I mean come ON

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?

3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”
