Currently being called a fake Shakespeare fan because I can’t recite all of the histories by heart it’s brutal in here on Christmas Eve

I made a new sticker

Soooooooon! 💀❤️💀

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

It’s a pretty sad attempt to Bari a story.

Gorgeous! (Alt text— it’s a focaccia with a design on top formed from the listed ingredients, in the shape of a pine tree. It has tomato and onion ornaments and a big star on top made of yellow pepper slices)

Everyone knows a real character arc is when a BIG spoon becomes a LITTLE spoon by the end of the book. 😌

You absolutely love to see it. Indies keep my heart beating.

Happy CHECK YOUR CHILD’S LUNCH-BAG AND BACKPACK TODAY AND NOT TWO WEEKS FROM NOW to all who celebrate

this girl Gloria who got into my local newspaper for seeing Titanic 50 times in Rome and who I have remembered since reading about her in 1998

The witch is a threshold creature. Wood's tangled border, shore's salt-line blur. For at the feral edges of the land her magic is mighty. The fluid boundary of the marsh offers reflected nephomantic glimpses, a rush of whispered wisdom. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

study and worship and a lifetime of creating vs guns and hatred and violence

This is one of those times when all of the bad news just sucks the air out of your lungs.

god💔

the last 24 hours have been nightmarish in their violence, and I just am so angry this is the world we are in and god damn it

Ahmed el Ahmed is the hero

Went to bed dreading hearing the death count of one mass shooting, woke up to a horrific death count of another. What world have we wrought. Children studying. Worshipers celebrating.

when the author bio is happening in real time (sorry to all the booksellers I’ve made pronounce pizzelle on the fly)

A FEW BEADS SHORT OF A ROSARY

Me: I feel like I’m doing everything wrong David: you just got an eval LITERALLY saying you’re doing everything right me: but for author stuff— David: Kirkus. starred. review.

For teachers this entire week is a Thursday. Next week is Friday.

So here's the update. California folks, get in your state legislators' ears. You have a law in place. This board needs to follow the law. Maryland uses their teeth in their laws. Why don't you? www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2025/12/09/r...

took precisely one listen of Natalie Merchant’s Ophelia to get these pies from ingredients to in the oven

listen we can all agree it's a misleading name but for none of the "ooh we're so traditionalist" "oooh we're the only ones correctly interpreting ancient doctrine" Catholics in this administration to know that the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is about MARY being born without sin is banoonies

Celebrate the release of SOMETHING WICKED by Falon Ballard with @schwartzwords.bsky.social today, 7PM, at Mysterious Galaxy Books in San Diego, CA! We hope to see you there! https://loom.ly/shgc5SU

you have no power over me 🌞🔮✨

yesterday had cuts on my hand and side, just now after hours of sitting and reading on the couch walked into bathroom to see a large dark ashy mark down the center of my forehead, quick question should I call a priest

My dose of inspiration today: @maggietokudahall.bsky.social 's speech accepting the ALAN award on behalf of @authorsabb.bsky.social www.prettyokmaggie.com/blog/2025/11...

excellent pun but also for a horse girl book please read Behooved—the man is the horse like LITERALLY THE HORSE

Tom Stoppard💔

really grating my fucking soul seeing the r word everywhere

These little men are smashing up real lives, the entire universes inside people, as they play their little games

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

Speaking of incredible indies with the best people:

Please stop exploiting autistics in crisis: "I’m the mother of 2 autistic boys with different support levels. I have experienced meltdowns in all their forms. But you know where I’ve never seen them? On my camera roll. And absolutely not posted on my social media." www.huffpost.com/entry/autist...

Heartbound is one of my favorite indies! The people there are truly special<3

You just died. The sixth picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. What a way to go.
