I’m an author and disabled by lupus, my husband is still disabled from a TBI in 2023, and we will starve without SNAP. We learned last night that the Trump administration is making EBT cards inaccessible November 1st, and our state can’t add money to residents’ cards or supplement. Are we great yet?

Join me tomorrow, Friday October 24th, at 4 pm EST live on Whatnot! I’m signing books from my dark romance series and reading excerpts. Save the show and be sure to follow me! 🔗: www.whatnot.com/s/LLDTs2r3

I pull my shirt and bra off. “You should shut those eggs off.” 🍳 “Why?” Cliff glances down at the spatula as if coming out of a stupor. I tug off my jeans and panties, dropping them to the floor. “Because I’m going back to bed.” 😈💋 📖: A Risky Prospect #DarkRomance #SpicyRomance #BookSky

It’s the best when two people you’ve known forever find each other. It’s happened twice now, and it’s beautiful because they’re all lovely people and deserve each other, especially when they’ve been through so much, apart.

I’m really fucking sick and tired of the media referring to Epstein’s and others’ abuse of girls as sex. It’s rape. It doesn’t matter whether it was Prince Andrew or an orgy. It’s fucking rape.

NBC CT did a deep dive on the anti-science agenda of the Trump administration. They uncovered all of the connections between state legislators and RFKKK. It’s really stellar reporting, and worth reading. bsky.app/profile/eliz...

How my social media presence started: RPing in BCreek forums, LiveJournal, and running a pen pal support group for people w/ depression. How it’s going: I’ve officially hit 200 followers on BookSky! Thank you so much for coming along, whether you’re here for my books, lupus life, or to chill. 🖤

My BP/HR are all over the place again, my old friend air hunger is back, and I almost passed out stirring my coffee and talking. Live, laugh, lupus.

I watched Haunted Hotel on Netflix and loved it, and now it’s all I want. Abaddon is my favorite. I have a soft spot for lovable chaos.

The River Reapers MC series and a couple of my other books are back at Walmart! A Fatal Prospect is on sale, too. #Booksky

Reheating my mug of coffee over and over, another sign winter is coming.

“You’re not going to prison,” I repeat. She shrugs. “I guess time will tell.” “I’m telling you. I’ve done this before.” “What, kill someone’s father?” “We’re kind of in the business of killing scumbag fathers.” 📖: A Risky Prospect Chapter 38: elizabethbarone.com/a-risky-pros... #DarkRomance

I really appreciate Peacemaker’s vulnerability in Season 2. When Chris asks Emelia if she truly feels nothing for him, when he tells her he’s in love with her, and when he admits he can’t stay away from the other dimension because he misses his brother—absolutely gutted me, so well done.

Hey Booksky! What are some of your favorite indie author reads?

Welcome to Stagwood Falls, where feelings don’t fade like tattoos. When tattoo artist Goldie returns to save her family home, her old crush David is back, and time’s finally on their side. Or is it? He’s the new city planner, and why her home’s in trouble. 🔗: elizabethbarone.com/a-touch-of-g...

I’m still getting the hang of whatever my body’s doing (suspected dysautonomia, SFN biopsy soon!), and my new meds are helping a lot. I’m still struggling through every day, not gonna lie! I haven’t been writing (no energy), but I’m re-reading Looking Glass Sound (love anything Catriona Ward).

A Disturbing Prospect is now on #StoryGraph! Readers love the way the writing flows, the darkness, the slow burn between Olivia and Cliff, and getting to learn how to dispose of a body. 😉 Add to your shelves: app.thestorygraph.com/books/12c6a6... #DarkRomance #MorallyGray #TouchHerAndDie

Life in New England: one day it’s 80 degrees, the next there’s a freeze watch, and then a nor’easter. 👙🥶🌀

I’ve been on midodrine and modafinil together for a week now for what my neuro suspects is dysautonomia, and I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m experiencing less crashes and my blood pressure is stabilized. It’s crazy how many drugs I need to animate my corpse, but I’ll take it. #Lupus #UCTD #HealthSky

The corpse folded the map the devil gave him, and put it in his pocket. The devil always took care of him—in return. It was time to get to work. Maybe this time, the devil would free him. “The Corpse in the Tree” Read for free: elizabethbarone.com/the-corpse-i... #Horror #SpeculativeFiction #Dark

I like coffee, I like tea, I like the books, and the books like me 💙📚

I know the strength that comes from the fires of human hell, the pain of the evil that people inflict. Those flames flicker in her eyes. One blink and it’ll break loose. 📖: A Risky Prospect Get the book: books2read.com/ariskyprospect #DarkRomance #RomanticSuspense #DarkRomTober

It’s not “dickmatized,” it’s DICKNOTIZED (dick + hypnotized). This PSA funded by your friendly spicy romance author. 🤓

When I was in high school, I made out with a guy my age whose dad was a cop. He tried to take my pants off and when I said no, he told everyone I was a whore. A few years later, I heard he got kicked out of college for sexually assaulting someone. Today I learned he’s now a cop. See the problem?

🚨Attention!🚨 Today is the LAST DAY to sign up my independent online class, Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 12. Fall Enrollment closes tonight at 12:00am MIDNIGHT. After that we will not accept any more students. See y'all in class! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Thin-guini. Or like it says on the package, thin linguini. 🍝

I don’t know how the topic I muted has still managed to take over my feed, but I respect the fevered mass obsession. You guys are scary. You can have this place. *backs away slowly* *tosses glitter to distract them* *hobbles away into the rising dawn*

ICE invading a primarily Black apartment building without a warrant, detaining and arresting immigrants and Americans, zip-tying children together like animals, with Black Hawk helicopters circling overhead is inexcusable, disgusting, and absolutely terrorism meant to intimidate people.

I know it’s overwhelming to take in the ceaseless news of scary things happening. But paying attention shows you care. Make a relationship with it. Set aside a little bit of time to get some news, check sources, and talk with your loved ones. Set limits so you can continue to engage sustainably.

Made lunch and ate it, and I don’t feel so wiped out, I have to rest. Mind you, it’s a light day for me, just hanging around with Mike, I’m gaming and he’s drawing. I’ll really put modafinil to the test during the week. So far the only side effect is a little dizziness, and I was already dizzy, so.

Large language models steal from authors in order to produce content. So we have a simple pledge: No generative AI features.

Anyone interested in a workshop on making your own artist website? I taught small businesses and nonprofits in my former life as a web designer. I’m retired 😉 but I’m seeing so many people feeling defeated and I wanna help. NSFW, trans, POC, game devs, writers, illustrators—all artists welcome!

Looking for something quick and spooky to read this weekend? I’ve got two free short stories for you! I wrote them myself, with my very own twisted little brain.

☕️📖🪦 “The Corpse in the Tree” When the devil’s right hand finishes this vengeful mission, will the devil free him? “Hell, Established 1958” A group of friends goes to the last Halloween party ever, but it won’t be the last time. 🔗: elizabethbarone.com/tag/the-last... #Horror #Spooky #Booksky

Columbia canceled my class on race and media, but I'm teaching the people anyway. Oct. 5 is the *last day* to register for my online live + recorded classes on Race, Media & International Affairs! We have more than 500 students enrolled. Let's gooo! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Started modafinil today. Is it too soon to say it’s helping? I feel calm. I can think. It’s like having a car that only drove in reverse, getting it fixed, and realizing it can go forward, and turn?! Most importantly, I’m awake. No a.m. crash like I usually have. I’m renovating my ACNH boardwalk.

No one: Absolutely no one: Medication warning labels: This drug might make you more suicidal, or it might give you some life back! Good luck!

If you’ve got a chronic illness and you’re struggling right now… Be gentle with yourself. The “October Slide” is real and can have devastating effects on your baseline. Remember it’s ok to rest. To take breaks. To prioritize self care. There’s no prize for playing through the pain.

Sophia: I want to be there to listen as they salute my...my grace, my wit, my inner beauty. Dorothy: Ma, writers cost money. #GoldenGirls

My suspected dysautonomia is dysautonomia-ing hard today, just like every day that ends in Y. 😵‍💫 Tomorrow I get to start modafinil. I read it helps a lot with energy and focus, so I’m hopeful. My SFN biopsy isn’t til November, and my cardiologist won’t order my tilt, so I’m in waiting mode.

To all my SURVIVORS of sa. Please unplug and disengage from the internet for a few days. Prioritize your joy and peace of mind.

I don’t trust this Trump-facilitated peace deal between Israel and Hamas. I just want the genocide of Palestinians to stop and for Palestine to have freedom and autonomy. Do Palestinians even want this “New Gaza”?

No luck, so I’ll reach out to support when I have reliable wifi/cell service. In the meantime, shipping is as it should be for my paperbacks. If you were wanting to put in an order while my shop was closed, it’s open again! All orders right now are a huge help. 🙏🏼 www.whatnot.com/user/elizabe...

The counterculture artists cooperative/collective is 100% happening! I immediately came up with a name. I’m just experiencing URL indecision at the moment. I’m starting with a webring and knowledge base, and expanding into inclusive platforms we build for us by us.
