TFW you have to place a 2nd grocery order at a different store bc your main store does not have a key ingredient for the lentil stew you're going to make tomorrow. Sigh.

Am highly amused that my top channel watched this year on YT was @tastinghistory.bsky.social. He's a great accompaniment when I am making art.

After 2 years, Frankie has finally discovered the storage bench next to my art desk.

Nine years ago on December 14th I posted "Frost." Facebook had reminded me about how I’d written "Dolph" the year before, and I thought it might be fun do do it again. That officially turned it into a tradition, one I’ve keep up since. Next was Frosty the Snowman, queered up a notch or two.

If you're already visiting your local bookstore for holiday shopping, consider tossing in a preorder 🧐 Your bookseller and I will thank you!

Today is my 21st Full Time Writer anniversary! I'm gonna link to each of my series on Amazon throughout the day today. 🥰 #1: The Walker Papers. Re-releasing these with 8 of 12 available now & the 9th is coming in early January! #booksky #urbanfantasy www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHBQ37P...

Ten years ago on December 14th I posted "Dolph," after a conversation among some queer friends and fellow authors about "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and it started a tradition of re-telling holiday stories through a queer lens that’s been going for a decade now.

@glitterati3a.myatproto.social, this totally reminds me of you & your Yeebs pics.

US people: there is a Goodreads giveaway for 50 print ARCs of HOW TO FAKE IT IN SOCIETY (which releases next April so don't miss). Get your "nervous nouveau riche x flagrant con artist" Regency romance here! (US only, not in my control, sorry.)

I decided to treat myself to a new Kobo cover. The old one (red) was falling apart.

I *wanted* colder weather...just maybe not dropping nearly 30 degrees in 2 days. Actual reading from the side of the house at around 6:30 AM - 38F/3.3c. Sheesh.

Today is World AIDS Day we gathered a collection of books whose words say more than we ever could: libbyapp.com/library/quee...

Doc appt #1 for December: done & dusted. My lungs are in good shape, as is my sleep apnea. Wheee. Best words: "come back in a year."

At lung/sleep doc. Amused the TV is showing a Mario movie

Just got the Anthropic Court Notice email. I do not have the spoons to deal with it rn.

Rabbit. Rabbit. Rabbit. How is it December? Wishing this month brings us all joy. That said, I've got a bunch of medical things coming up, so I hope everything goes smoothly & insurance covers it all.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

First frost this morning! Which seems like a good time to remind people I have a sad bastard holiday historical romance novella you can pick up, about rival lesbian chicken breeders in a small-town poultry competition and also everyone’s traumatized by the Crimean War.

Frankie, just now.

Hey, #BookSky! So I don’t know when it happened, but it looks like all my Bold Strokes Books titles are in #KoboPlus now. Which is awesome! (I had no idea or I would have yelled about this sooner.) This means *almost everything* I’ve done is included now. 💙🏳️‍🌈📚

Good morning, it is Small Business Saturday and I am, indeed, a small business! So small it’s just me and whichever intern (child) I can bribe into helping me. I sell pretty cute textiles, 3D printed goodies, and stickers ☺️ #bsnm #smallbusiness measuredandslow.studio/shop

on this #SmallBusinessSaturday consider indie presses! got a horror fan in your life & not sure where to start? check out catalogue highlights for @tenebrouspress.bsky.social @strangewildspress.bsky.social Panoptic, @malarkeybooks.bsky.social & more on DIS/MEMBER: www.dis-member.com/tag/books/

Started my tea advent calendar early, mostly bc on Monday, I've got my annual appt with my sleep/lung doc & won't have time for a cuppa. I enjoyed it, but it's a wee bit too floral for me. My other beef: it's meant for 7 oz of water (200 ml) - which is too little. I usually have 16 oz.

Re-upping this for Buy Books Saturday:

#WaysToHelp I found a page with a list of book drives for various reservation schools and other needs. You order the book and have it shipped to the school/site. I used my favorite, @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social, but bookshop.org has free shipping today, you could take advantage of that!

This weather blows so hard. Today's high: 74F/23c. Tomorrow's high: 49F/9c WTAF. Bad pain flare & it's no wonder.

I finally decided on this year's advent calendar, since the ones I usually like are from UK & far too expensive with tariffs. Under $15, so I'm hoping the tea will be okay.

G'morning, Peeps. Today I finish my revision pass & see what happens next. Ideally 2200 new words, but realistically, probably not. In the meantime, the Negotiator Trilogy is available again! NYC Gargoyles & dragons & djinn, oh my! #booksky #urbanfantasy #romantasy www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTFYJHH...

Food has been cooked & consumed & there are leftovers! Cooking the turkey breast in the air fryer was most excellent (once I figured out I'd have to cut off a big bony piece that was too tall for the basket.) The meat was lovely & tender & the skin was crispy.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen... Bonnie Raitt Tina Turner Great Big Sea (multiple times) The Temptations Dar Williams

Wishing you a happy turkey day (for those of you who celebrate.) May it all go well! We're just us 3 (me, stepdad & mom.) Doing an air fryer turkey breast & some sweet potatoes. No pies, cakes or other fancy goods. Very low-key.

I have arted. I have packed the bookmarks for my sister & readied it for posting. I have put the turkey breast (4 lbs) in to marinate for cooking tomorrow. Now, it's rest time.

There is a story of a widow woman & her daughters, Snow White & Rose Red, the most darling little girls who had ever lived. This is not—quite—that story. BONE & BLOOD is out in March 2026! #booksky #preorders #fairytales #retoldfairytales #fantasy www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXFPLQW...
