“When I was growing up, I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.” — Lily Tomlin

The texts say I’ve been unsubscribed from whatever PAC or action group, etc. Yet: I KEEP GETTING TEXTS!

“Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow internet to see who they really are.” — Will Ferrell Solid advice here😂

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was that successful authors fail often and they fail early, failure is an opportunity to learn and get better. This hits home so very often.

This is Benny. Benny wants to remind you that it’s ok if the laundry isn’t folded and your house is a mess. He says it’s ok to not be ok and to take care of yourself today so you can punch fascism in the tit tomorrow. Maybe Benny is telling me that too…huh.

Smiles wanted: I’ve been a bit MIA on socials lately because it’s felt really hard to get out of my little mental cave. And b/c I’m sure we could all use something to smile about, I’m sharing a favorite meme and I’d love to see one of yours. Share below or share this post with a meme.

Foggy morning walk and the mountains are peeking above, a ferry moving through like a little ghost ship. It’s so beautiful here.

There are times my social anxiety is manageable, then there are times when a little thing will feel so big and I’m in the thick of it. Today is one of those days

Ive been reading about 💀 lately. Partly as research for a new series, partly b/c I have felt drawn to it. This book is a beautiful look at those who make 💀 their work. It’s opened my eyes, challenged & comforted me. I’m gr8ful for that. @hayleycampbell.bsky.social

Monday morning thoughts: how much World of Warcraft can I squeeze in tonight before the new patch tomorrow….

Watching season 3 of Reacher and OMG Alan Ritchson is 🧑‍🍳💋

Had a really hard day. So I: 💙Cried 💙Ate nourishing food 💙Filled my inner well with something fun. And all of that was as hard to do. I didn’t want to, but I needed to, & maybe you do too so hear me when I say: DO IT. It’s VITAL to take care of yourself!

If you’re reading this know that you are truly a work of art, a one of a kind and the world is lucky to have you. No one can do what you can the way you do it, no one has your special insight, your smile, the hug you give. You are a goddess damned treasure. Thank you for being in the world🩷

"I don't know whether I want to sh00t you or fvck you." (Jax-Forbidden Mate) This might be one of my favorite micro tropes. This dynamic is a cornerstone of a ship that was part of my formative years. Can you guess from the gif what it is? LOL Maybe that's why I keep coming back to it in my books.

Yep, that's about how it goes😘 #booksky

This morning I had Valentines Day homemade scones from my hubby, my kids are happy & healthy and an evening with friends laughing & talking is ahead of us. I’m so grateful for these things & really that’s what this day means to me: that I am loved & I’m grateful for it🩷🩷🩷

This week has been full of highs and 'yikes'. One of the yikes has to do with our upcoming move to the Netherlands & it was a blow. We are still going, there's just an added wrinkle we weren't expecting. And it's times like that when I just need cute pet pics. If ya got 'em, share 'em.

My cozy confession: I love ghost hunter videos and shows. I'm not ashamed to say it. My current favorite is Adam Mark Explores, his accent and the locations are 👨‍🍳💋. For me, it's a fantastic escape & I need that right now. What's your cozy confession? #booksky #ghosthunters #cozy

I guess closed 🚪 romance readers are having fits about open 🚪 (insert eye roll) so here’s my starter pack of alien 🍆 ‘s #booksky 💙📚🌶️ books2read.com/u/bMVoVv

My reading buddy this morning really loves my glow in the dark space book mark…maybe a little too much😂 #booksky

I love the fact that my kids (15 & 12) are absolutely in love with John Oliver in Last Week Tonight, laughing while they learn about serious sh*t. The spoon full of sugar to help the education go down.

You’ve heard of taking a physical dump in the morning I’m sure. But what about a mental one? I journal first thing to clear the 💩 out of my mind, and these days there’s a lot it from the anxiety I’m swimming in. No one ever reads it & I toss it when I’m done so I write whatever pops into my head.

Reminder Naomi Lucas has ebooks of her entire catalogue up for free thru the 5th! If you like #monsterromance + #alienromance have a peek. And, if you can, support her generosity by buying print copies of your faves. Her Naga Brides series has special edition illustrated covers that are beautiful!

Nothing like getting called out by the chapter heading of the library book you’re ‘cheating’ on your other library book with 😂 #booksky

What's up Naughty Nellies?! Here's your Friday Funny to take into the weekend. Love you all.

Just to pull back the curtain a bit: This is what white christian nationalists are saying about TFG. Notice how this person is using TFG's own phrase to boost/produce her propaganda.

What Reylo fans say when there’s only one spicy scene in a fic:

Let's play a little game: You wake up on a spaceship, trapped in a room with an outrageously hot alien who looks at you like you’re his next meal. What’s your first move? This could become a reoccurring game, where I take my fave answer and you get to build a story with me. But 1st: I need answers

Spicy Romance vs. Real Life: Book me: Throws the door open, straddles him, and whispers ‘miss me?’ Real me: Struggles with the doorknob, trips over my own feet, and blurts ‘oops, hey.’ Raise your hand if you can relate LOL

I don't know about you but I need some happy in my life today. So let's do this: 1 'like'= 1 thing I like/love And I'd love to hear about something you like/love too so feel free to drop it. Could be ANYTHING. The more random the better. ("Borrowed" from @authorryderomalley.bsky.social )

In the spirit of helping anyone who is trying to get their passport in order immigrate or be ready to leave, here's what I've learned that may help you (Long ass skeet to follow):

Passport update: we were able to submit applications for mine and hubbys but not the kids b/c the amount on our money order was wrong. We also had to do some ridiculous corrections and they almost didn’t accept my DL b/c I renewed it this month & it has to be 6mo old. This country is 💩

“Gargle my balls” is officially my new favorite phrase. That’s going in a book😂

I have no words, only rage

Waiting at our local courthouse to get our passports. They went from processing 5 or 6 a day to upwards of 50 applications per day. But yeah, TFG has a mandate, that’s why everyone wants to leave.

“…Quitting the stuff you don’t care about or the stuff you’re mediocre at or better yet quitting the cul-de-sacs frees up your resources to obsess about (things) that matter.” Seth Godin-the dip In other words quit strategically, and pivot

Is it even Monday if you’re not wishing for a hot, brooding Kylo Ren to crash your day with a lightsaber twirl? Let’s face it, coffee isn’t enough right now-we need angsty Dark Side vibes to survive. #reylo

Sunday Smut: Kier'Ahn rising from the water: all broody perfection, awkward stares, and the *purest* of intentions... but let’s be real, those muscles tell another story. 😏 Who’s ready to teach this shy alien a thing or two? (Sinful Mate: A Friends to Lovers Alien Romance) #BookSky 💙📚🥵

I just want to live in my spicy, Star Trek with smut world and write my broody heroes falling in love and ignore the world today...and tomorrow...okay the whole week. #BookSky 💙📚

Will Trump’s 1-day dictatorship end day 2? We’ll see: “Whether you’re an activist, a concerned citizen, or someone simply looking to understand how to fight back, these steps can help us all stay strong and united in the face of a dictator.” open.substack.com/pub/olgalaut...

Today is awful. Here, have some alien smut. 😎 Art courtesy of the fabulous Lucie Art on Instagram. Inspired by Corrupted Mate: An Enemies to Lovers Alien Romance. 👽 #BookSky 💙📚🌶️

Today I’m writing the shit out of some smut followed by reading some smut. Then munchies, followed by more smut😎 #BookSky 💙📚🌶️

As we head into this new administration, we need cis people to step up and push back against anti-trans laws. In this week's post, I dispel some myths about transitioning and discuss why it is important to everyone to fight for trans rights. Read it here: karajorgensen.com/2025/01/19/t...
