A couple days before StokerCon and I got a hairline fracture in my wrist, sustained after fighting to repot a nettle with its superpowered root system (I won the fight, btw 😌). Hoping it clears up in a few days, but until then I'm stuck not being able to write or garden. Why is resting so hard!

I finally got to watch Sinners last night. A phenomenal movie I will be thinking about forever. I cannot handle watching it again any time soon. 10/10.

Who's all going to #StokerCon next week? 😃🦇

It's my punnable last name and I get to make puns with it

Hey, look who showed up at the Library!!! Pumped to have @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social’s new short story collection, The Haunted House She Calls Her Own, hanging out on our shelves!!!

Saw Project Hail Mary again with my mum and she loved it, as I knew she would! 1st reaction: "I would love to see this in IMAX." 2nd reaction: "THEY KIDNAPPED HIM?" 3rd reaction: "Amaze amaze amaze"

Sometimes I just say things that sound like Animal Crossing villager dialogue "I've been really getting into bagels lately"

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

That feel when you love horror but it makes your heart rate go way up from a combination of being terrified and excited and so you spend the day after engaging with a really good story horizontal with a POTS flareup 😂😭😶 Worth it, and laptop + bed = excellent vibing

Five more days until Farewell Speech comes out... shannoneichorn.net/books/farewe...

Some of the best writing advice I follow is that the reader can tell if the writer dislikes something and you risk them losing interest. If I dislike writing a character either they change-new goal, motivation, conflict, quirks, and/or backstory-or get cut from the story. #writesky #writingcommunity

When a movie whose summary doesn't interest me is almost 3 hours: who do you think you are When #ProjectHailMary is almost 3 hours: you can do whatever you want sweetie Anyway I'm excited to see it today with my friend!

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

Binge read Project Hail Mary over 48 hours. Easily on my list of favorite books. "What it means to be a person" answered with "illogical and self-sacrificing choices made to help your friend at the risk of entire worlds that ultimately save entire worlds." #booksky 💙📚 #projecthailmary #aromantic

Oh, your plucky heroine disguised as a boy to hide her identity? Yeah, you left him unattended for 15 minutes and I told him about testosterone. Where is he now? Damn I dunno he took off like a pack of wolves was chasing him, you might have to find a new plot now.

I love queerplatonic relationships. Put them in everything I write. What if we'd go to the ends of the earth for each other & our bond transcended the limits of language & we resisted any attempt to define us while saving each other again & again. Do NOT separate #aromantic #writesky #queerwriters

Whenever I finish an outline, I'm always left with a couple plot points I'm not sure where to place. Only by writing the thing can I test out what the best flow and order of events will be. When you have lots of moving parts, you need to actually move them to figure it out! #loreoutloud #writersky

They are counting on you giving up. Doesn't mean you can't be afraid, angry, or both, but spreading hopelessness is spreading inaction in the face if fascism narratives and that's euthanasia for resistance.
