If for some reason you haven't checked this book out yet, use this as your impetus to do so!

I've received a number of dismayed and affronted inquiries about me not doing more Year of the Mer appearances! This is a delightful problem to have but all I can tell you to do is have your local bookstore/library get in touch with Simon and Schuster and tell them you want me showing up places. 💜

Bastards.

The Pope is absolutely done with playing nice. It's been a long time since we've seen a pontiff come out swinging like this, and I am totally here for it.

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

New Hungarian Prime Minister just TORCHING the Orbán regime. Latest revelations from him show how Hungary was essentially FUNDING CPAC. Nice work, Republicans. You were basically being led by a Hungarian/Russian psyop. 😅👍 youtu.be/FfU5pzD_NJA?...

Perfection.

Yeah…

It's alive! It's alive! My Razer Black Widow keyboard has returned to life this morning. I am thankful for its resurrection.

I will be so thankful when I can see out of BOTH eyes again and reading is easier. I hope to catch up on all the books sitting in my TBR piles. (Plus new books coming out this year.)

Today was a rather hard day. Not bad. Just hard. And I didn't realize it until I started to crash a couple of hours ago. I was stubborn, though, and finished reading my 5th book of the year tonight. and I wrote...sheesh...how many words did I write? 1,061 words on the DDD - edit.

Send her blonde ass to jail just like they did Bannon and Navarro when they failed to show.

I love that they are calling him out.

Not a good evening. The lid popped off a cup, and I got a tiny slosh onto the 10-key on my Black Widow keyboard. Dried it out. Nothing. Youngest son found me a plain keyboard (not mechanical) to use. It's TERRIBLE. I wonder how I'm going to raid on this. Can't buy a new keyboard until payday.
