The Kraken won. The Seahawks won a trip to the Superbowl. In this dark time, I'm grateful for the little bits of joy I can find in fandoms. And Seattle sports fans had a good day today. 💙💚🩵

I just saw a couple of little (maybe 10 yrs old) girls doing ballet in the hall in CPA and I gave them a tiny note which led to one asking if I'm a dance teacher and when I told them that I've worked professionally as a dancer, they looked at me like I was made of magic. That made my day, NGL

Yes, it takes forever. And yes, it's Labor intensive. But caramelizing the leeks is always worth it

One last full-throated cry for pre-orders, as the window closes today. Books will be released on April 7th, 2026; I will be appearing at @crowsnest.quest, @illusivecomics.com, and Zulu's Board Game Cafe Bothell to sign and personalize copies. All first edition printings will include a special card.

MALALA is at this game and I passed her in the hall a bit ago and I was afraid no one would believe me so I'm glad this happened

So... I wrote the last sentence. But then

I am SAT at the pub. Two hours until kickoff. Let's see if I can finish this draft in that time...

I just got to ask the nerdiest musical question of my whole life and I am so very excited to see what the answer turns out to be.

For all my spoonies. @alicialee.bsky.social @mandatheginger.bsky.social

My love for this creature knows no bounds. There is no feeling in the world quite like being actively snuggled by a 25+lb cat. He is perfect and wonderful.

There is something magical about having a fireplace on a boat. Truly.

Buoy!!!

The Star Spangled Banner sung by a member of a Gay Chorus in an arena full of queer folk + allies on an NHL Pride Night hits different right now. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🤍🩵

I put on Real pants that button and hook and zip and FIT this afternoon and... I am regretting my life choices in the worst way. Pants are no fun. I am counting the minutes (280) until I can change back into sweats or pajamas.

Gentle reminder as we enter this Carnival season: The knife stays IN THE BOX.

ANYWAY: Who's got two thumbs and got to check something off her bucket list today?? store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/sha...

Today I learned: coriander is one of the spices used to make pastrami. I haven't had pastrami in a long time & my allergy has gotten progressively worse since then. I made pastrami sandwiches for dinner tonight because I had a craving. And so today I learned. 😭

Duck Hunt

Got a paper cut *IN MY EYE* pulling a fast food drive-thru bag off the passenger seat to get out of the car

Very excited

Richard Marx's HAZARD. I love the song and I *still* don't know how many alternate endings there are.

On a panel at a con a couple of years back, I mentioned a fanfic I wrote in 2016, and a fellow panelist exclaimed, "THAT WAS YOU!!???!!!" And I will be chasing that dragon *forever*.

I'm at S3E23. Around halfway through. Headed into my favorite half hour in television history.

Jeff Goldblum handed me a spoon.

Whoever originally had the idea to put a sausage patty on a biscuit and eat it like a sandwich is my personal hero.

I'm a femme cis woman who's queer, disabled, and have been traditionally published as a fantasy author since 2018 and I AM STILL NOBODY. There is no such thing as "breaking in". There's only doing the work.

ALL OF THIS

Happy Christmas, Yule, Solstice, Hogswatch, Komasnacht, or whatever other story of the season brings you joy tonight.

The actual most fun part of being a parent [for me] is the putting out the Santa gifts & stocking stuff on Christmas Eve. It used to feel like a bigger deal when kiddo was little, but it's still super fun when months of scheming is paying off. Happy Christmas to all who celebrate!

My kid is sick (not flu or COVID but sick). It's Christmas Eve. Those Cornish hens can stay in the fridge another day or two. There's no way I'm making anything fancy or complicated on a night my kid is unlikely to eat at all. 😕

Happy Hogswatch friends!

Anyway... I just ate 33 McNuggets and I regret nothing.

The McNugget first came to my attention in 1983 and I STG those little chunks of golden deliciousness have had me in a chokehold ever since.

Reached the end of S2 of this West Wing rewatch and Two Cathedrals remains a perfect hour of television.

My D&D group is BEST D&D group. I can't wait to hang this in my house.

Oh shit. I'm crying at the pre-show. My mascara is DOOMED.

My kid asked me to take them TO A MUSICAL. So, obviously we're here. We have snacks and merch and we're waiting for the house to open. They have not yet figured out our seats are in the front row.

I do get dressed, but often in what I call "daytime pajamas". I save my nighties for actual sleep.

Posting to make sure @seananmcguire.bsky.social sees this playbill.com/article/nsyn...

ABSOLUTELY NOT

I actually took a cut scene from one book and put it in the sequel. It really can happen.

I alpha read this book and I promise y'all, it's worth reading ❤️

I need this to be as good as its potential

Pantsing through life.... Even when I've had an outline approved, I do what I can to let a story surprise me. And my favorite part of writing a book is when that happens.

Entering the SAGITTARIUS arc and I still love this show so very very much

I accidentally started another West Wing rewatch and it's the first BIG BLOCK OF CHEESE episode and these are truly some of the most entertaining pieces of TV ever aired.
