I feel like Sylvester and Charlotte are actually pretty similar here. Charlotte has a condo, Sylvester has a townhouse. They each live alone and struggle to make meaningful connections. They both live in bustling cities, but feel alone. Main difference? Sylvester is a wizard lol

3 weeks ago I finished the first draft of this bad boy. It needs a lot of work but I'm excited for what the future holds for these three! I feel like I often get stuck in "the next thing" mode and not taking time to celebrate my wins. Finishing the 1st draft of my 3rd novel is, definitely, a win

I love the San Diego Zoo podcast. But I feel a jolt of shame every time that they're like "tell the kids at home!" It reminds me that I am in fact listening to a podcast for children....

Gofundme but it's to pay people to follow Elon Musk around and sing about how much he sucks ala The #MuppetChristmasCarol

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" is obviously about a little girl seeing her dad dressed as Santa Yes but have you considered?? open.spotify.com/track/46IzzV...

You ever notice how Law and Order SVU consistently cast less conventionally attractive actors as defense attorneys...

Two houses alike in dignity in fair Barnes and Noble where we lay our scene

The biggest mood ever.

Hey #writingcommunity, drop line 8 from page 187 of your MS & tag 3 friends! Here's mine: The door to the balcony opened, instinctively Sylvester broke away from Elsinor. The cold night air whipped at his throat, claiming the warmth they had briefly shared. Tags in comments!

From my current WIP "Elsinor took a deep swig of his wine glass, “Thank you, I don’t know if I could have this conversation without alcohol.” “That’s a promising start to the evening,” Sylvester muttered under his breath." #cozyfantasy #workinprogress

I think I speak for all Virginians when I say, UVA had DEI initiatives? Was it to find a new type of white dude?

I think we are where we are because not enough people studied underwater basket weaving at middling private liberal arts colleges

I'm not a poet but this is really cool news!!!

@codyjohnston.bsky.social "Oh but it's just more dangerous at Ronald Reagan airport!" But that's *MY* airport Cody!!!! What am I supposed to do??? Go to BWI?! Dulles??? It's on the silver line Cody! The Silver Line!

Once upon a time in 2019 Trump came to my hometown. I went to where he was speaking to protest. The local democratic party officials were there leading the charge. We tried to get an Abolish Ice chant going and we're shut down by the dems there. I have thought about that day every day of this year.

Wraps Fall Apart: the cookbook from critically acclaimed novelist Chinua Achebe (Shut up this is a top tier joke for people who got a 3 on the AP lit exam)

Unhinged harbingers of a major recession: Rise of site specific theatre I can't fully explain it but I saw that the Folger was doing a new play series that takes place in restaurants and I was like "I'm in danger"

My husband and I were able to fly home from Key West, take the metro to the VRE, and then walk home from the VRE I felt *accomplished*

My favorite people in the world are brilliant people with #ADHD But so often their self-esteem is so worn down from YEARS of trauma that they act like anyone can do what they do You'll be talking to one of them and they'll just drop "Oh yeah I'm also a classically trained pianist isn't everyone?"

Scene: My husband whimpering softly while looking at his phone Me: is a cat being cute on the internet? Him: its two cats being cute on the internet

Me: okay so you know how Katy Perry went to space and held up a daisy- Husband: for her daughter Daisy Me: yeah and she's married to Husband: Orlando Bloom Me: which means her daughter's full name is- Husband: (with horrid realization): Daisy Bloom

You say we can't know who works for DOGE but I'm pretty sure it was that one guy taking a video call at the top of his lungs at the Quill&Crumb on the busiest day of the year 😒 (In all seriousness this is a very important episode!)

I'm like so shocked 😒

Interesting trend in theatre I'm noticing: Frankenstein adaptations for the stage written by women

This is so annoying and Dems are so out of touch VA is actually doing great in education! We consistently rank incredibly high across both k-12 & higher ed But we rank LAST in pay when compared to our private sector counterparts! We make 30% LESS than our similarly educated peers! 🧵

I feel like the idle rich used to DO THINGS like employ and torment governesses, or host elaborate balls or start wars over dukes getting assassinated Now they just want to post their really elaborate workout routines and matcha lattes and like where's the mystique? The drama? The opera?

Is it wrong that one of my first thoughts about the new Pope is that Notre Dame is probable pretty pissed that Vilanova produced a Pope before they did?

Listen y'all can I just say as a cradle Catholic an American Pope is not a good sign. Light your candles, get your rosaries, this is truly some end times stuff

Apparently the "libraries should be open late" discourse is popping off again on Threads. Hear me out: what if we just demanded more from our local governments? I live in NoVa which is bougie as bougie can be so you get libraries, but also a ton of other 3rd spaces like parks and rec centers

I did a daily tarot pull this morning and my cards were just like "We have told you THRICE to tackle your problems at work and be patient" #tarot

The Cut: Society has fundamentally failed us but isn't it kind of your fault for ordering in???

I think I speak for all lapse Catholics that if the Pope held onto his mortal coil just long enough to tell me to do better, I would simply disappear from public life

Sylvester Biskup was a lot of things until he wasn't. When a letter comes from his former adventuring companion (and lover), he begins to wonder if he could work towards a normal life. More importantly, is a normal life a thing worth having. #posterpit #PosterPitW #A #F

For fans of Bridgerton, specifically season 3 ep 7 about 5 minutes from the end #PosterPit #PosterPitW #A #HF #R

Yes the "disaster" of preventing thousands of teachers and students from dying. Like did we collectively forget that COVID was a deadly pandemic that killed millions of people worldwide??? When did we decide that the number of children dying from a PREVENTABLE disease was more than 0???

Everyone's like "where's Gale's modern AU??" In the latest patch 8 update video Guys, obviously Gale stepped away from the game to move the laundry to the dryer because Astarion hasn't been allowed to touch the washer since the "incident"
