It’s raining!

The exclamation point broke

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Some Erté studies

Finished Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social and I am ASTONISHED at how many plot twists fit into that book and I’m also absolutely THRILLED with it it’s certainly one of my favorite books I’ve read this year

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Danse Macabre was the 19th century’s Toxic

I have tickets for Florence and the Machine in May and my question: HOW am I supposed to wait that long

lol

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

not to be a broken record, but please consider reading scarlet morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social

I do not have the emotional stamina to be a sports fan like how do yall do this all the time

A killer merman and a drowned sailor for Halloween this year 🧜🏻‍♂️☠️

So my body is really good at healing scars BUT that also makes it impossible to get and keep piercings. I’ve had a helix piercing for almost 10 years, but recently my ear developed a bump around it and I had to go get it taken out. WHEN I DID…

Most horror movies have been whiffs for me lately but I was shocked by how much I liked Smile 2 especially since I thought the first one was just okay! Visuals that made me open my eyes at 3am and go “oh no”!!

This was a fun interview! bookstr.com/article/expe...

Hearing a song on the radio and then pulling over to Google “*artist name* Christian,” haven’t been wrong yet

The stars fall slowly there, like a tear down a cheek

Boy horror movies are just not hitting this year, personally

Finding out that “Edge of Seventeen” was inspired by a mishearing feels appropriate because I always misheard the lyrics as “one-winged dove” instead of “white-winged dove” and I sorta prefer my version tbh

Whenever I make cookies I get so excited about eating the cookie dough that by the time the cookies are actually baked, I’m incapable of enjoying them along with everyone else. This is a metaphor for something else in my life but I just can’t think of what

Ahhh I love new outfits, everyone in Scarlet Morning book 2 is getting NEW OUTFITS

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

Is it just me or does every vacuum cleaner have a personality

It’s so weird watching movies from a few years ago and all the men’s t-shirts go down to their fuckin ankles

It’s so crazy being trans bc you spend so long wanting to just be DONE ALREADY and then one day you…are??? And the person you end up being is so familiar like you’ve been them all along?????

Omg it came it came! Thank you Waterstones Trafford Centre!!! ☠️

This has been my favorite kind of comment over on Instagram lately lolololol

You’re a hard soul to save

Oh here’s an old She-Ra piece I never posted bc it’s wonky as hell but I still like that butt

This is such an important thing to remember - ceasefire or not, Palestinians are still without food, shelter, or medical supplies. They still need help - you can donate to support multiple families here: chuffed.org/project/hope...

The only two pictures I took in NYC

It turns out that Scarlet Morning actually got FOUR starred reviews and I am too sick to try hard but not too sick to brag 😎

Very glad that my body waited until the EXACT end of my book tour duties to break in every possible way at once

30 minutes into the packed shuttle ride taking us to the actual cab line and I remain endlessly baffled that airports never found a better solution to the ride share vs taxi issue

Editing to add that we will ALSO be signing at the HarperCollins booth at 2pm Friday!!!

Saw a guy in a black jacket and white t-shirt crossing the street in a spot where the pavement dips down significantly and the result was that my sleep-addled brain immediately registered him as a penguin

Early Captain Cadence Chase explorations

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

You are cordially invited to see @gingerhaze.bsky.social and I at NYCC this weekend! We'll be doing our favorite thing, yapping at each other 🔥🏳️‍🌈

Two of us on the run

“Don’t you knock?”

When you empty the 12oz bottle of honey and it only comes out to 8oz…and then you look it up and google’s like no silly billy :) those are the DIFFERENT ounces

AI-written captions are always like “In order to achieve specific results, you will have to do this in a specific way, depending on the size, weight, color, age, and cosmic significance. Balance, flow, and a desirable outcome are all outcomes that may be desirable, according to your preferences.”

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

So…some news…….!!

Some Wilmurs and Violas I did to figure out their dynamic way back at the start of the Scarlet Morning process!
