Happy #SuperbOwlSunday to all those hoot celebrate!

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work! I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

Just finished reading this queer nostalgia-inducing treat by @sachacoward.bsky.social. This book illuminates how queerness shapes the monsters, fairies, mermaids, superheroes of our childhood and how our attachments to folk stories nourish our weird, fabulous, and curious ways. Check it out. 📖🦄🧜🏾‍♂️🌈✨

You know whats awesome? Doctors who listen to you. Saw an ENT today. She listened to my list of complaints and asked clarifying questions. Then she looked at my ears, throat/mouth/tongue, and nose. Turns out I have a deviated septum and chronic sinusitis.

So apparently my brain went on strike this week. I've been moody, clumsy, and sleeping poorly. Perimenopause? The weather? The state of the world?

I am here going to suggest you get Dil or No Dil, the short story collection, because it contains the best romance short I have ever read (Jesse's Girl, a stone cold classic riff on Jolene) and IMO Suleikha is the best short-form romance writer working today. goodreads.com/book/show/41...

Made myself the perfect cup of iced coffee this morning. Got the balance of sweet and bitter just right. Not too much creamer or ice. Drank 3 sips then spilled it all over my office rug. How's your morning going?

WHAT?! And I can't stress this enough... the FUCK?! #YoroiShinDenSamuraiTroopers episode 5 just made me cry, then shout.

My supervisor is sleeping on the job! #cat

#RomanceColumn day is here! This month I looked at an Arthurian romance that should have been on the best of 2025, a romcom with a dom hero and terrible workplace boundaries, and a touching hockey romance with a women’s hockey star in the Olympics (gift link).

I am in @therumpus.net today talking about how Heated Rivalry is connected to both chirping in Letterkenny and Shoresy, and also Pride and Prejudice and Austen film adaptations: therumpus.net/2026/02/02/m...

I don’t know if this will help any of my other neurodivergent peeps, but you know what I’m doing a lot of now? Logic puzzles. The little grids with “Bob has brown hair and killed either the dragon or the kraken, but not on Tuesday” clues. Having to focus so intently shuts up the anxiety for a bit.

The @societyofauthors.bsky.social and other creatives orgs have launched a new report showing the calamitous impact of generative AI on the creative sector. It's doing so much damage. #JusticeForCreators societyofauthors.org/2026/01/30/b...

Yeah it's GRIM in tradpub when it comes to trans women MCs in romance. I know of at least 1 more on the way but luckily there's also indie books! I enjoyed Darcy Liao's Make Room for Love, for example. If folks have recs or want to promo their own titles, please chime in!

Our neighbor, who loves using his snow blower, took care of our front sidewalk and driveway up to my car! All while Michael and I were working in our home offices. I'm going to bake something as a thank you.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Long, long ago. There was a time when the Cherokee were without the tobacco, not the plant of today, that has

This book is lovely and the sequel is perfection!

#BookSky The newest #DresdenFiles novel hit my porch last night. I picked it up for Michael. I'm not sure if I'm going to read this one. Peace Talks and Battle Gound pissed me off. Especially Battle Ground. From the beginning I've struggled with Harry as a character.

Reminder! Join the art club tier to get this and many more fancy lad knights this year from me!

Been up since 4am. Very glad I had the foresight to forget to order decaf yesterday when I got my Vietnamese iced coffee. Saved it for this morning and this caffeine might be the only thing that gets me through the day.

Osedax worms dismantle bones molecule by molecule, no spectacle, no force. Long-term change often looks boring if you don’t understand the process.

Really, really need this long weekend. I'm not the right fit for my current role and team and it's stressing me out.

The face of a cat who's hapoy her humans are done with work and they can now give her all the attention.

Half day at work tomorrow, therapy appointment and haircut in the afternoon, then a long weekend that includes time with one of my favorite people, @halfspell.bsky.social!

Awesome! I'll definitely pick this one up!

Ep 2 of #YoroiShinDenSamuraiTroopers (Ronin Warriors sequel) gave us our first armoring up sequence! Of course it was our fire guy, Gai. We Can't wait for the next episode! I think I might be liking this more than the original series? www.tiktok.com/@retrocultur...
