relevant to many of yalls interests.

The problem with forgetting for years at a time that I do in fact knit is that I will every once in a while be cleaning out some storage closet and SURPRISE a project bag! With … something … in it! What the fuck is this, this yarn is gorgeous, what the shit was I making? NO IDEA

we need more orcas.

“I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth — a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow.”

AS REQUESTED, whistle testing (quietly, because there are very interested canine faces peeking through the workshop gate)

CAN CONFIRM

IT IS SNOWING AGAIN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Life is short. Make dickfetti.

Exeunt, leading Katherine.

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Every now and then I get desperate enough to order supplies from IndieMade/WSP, drawn in by their super speedy free shipping, and then my order arrives and I am reminded that their fulfillment department is headed by Literally the Devil and I am reminded why I don’t use them regularly

I don't know why they need to make short AI films about the American Revolution when the perfect one was created 18 years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRo...

Wake Up Dead Man (dir. Rian Johnson)

just putting this here no reason

It is amazing how much better regulated my executive dysfunction is when I can get enough sleep to remember to take my pills, CERES

I can learn to quilt This is fine Everything is fine I have so much time and totally am not going to ADHD rabbithole a new craft I will defeat the broken dopamine machine

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE for the first time in months Ceres won the “sleep until sunrise” challenge this morning! I am so tired

What I’ve been up to lately:

Happy pub day to SILVER & BLOOD, my first full-length romantasy novel! 🎉 A cursed forest, a deadly beast, a magical castle, a sprinkle of delicious forced proximity, a dash of “touch her and die,” and a slow-burn romance between two wary, reluctant allies who (mostly!) communicate. 💕 (1/3)

LOOOOOOOL When you’ve lost the golf and pickleball influencers…

It was Rufus’s seventh birthday yesterday, and I cannot overstate exactly how pitifully smol this giant (55kg) dog has been making himself because he is fucking freezing and it is everyone’s problem. He usually gets to go to the park for his birthday! Not when it’s -15C, big man.

Huzzah! Enchanting the Fae Queen is out in North America today, & I've written about it here: www.stephanieburgis.com/2026/01/ench... I can't wait for you all to watch my mischievous fae queen and stoic, noble general spar their way through a lethal fae tournament to true love! #romancelandia

ADHD mantra: DO NOT TEST THE WHISTLES WHEN THE PLATE FINISHES AT 4AM

As a fellow maker, I can confirm that Atomic Polish and Pahlish make very very good shit.

Even though we have a fully fenced, very quiet back yard, I still have to bundle up to take the dogs outside because both corgs think it is incredibly great fun to slide down the steep hill in the corner and then can’t get back up the ice.

Looks SO COOL Sucks SO MUCH None of this white is snow, btw. The snow melted yesterday morning when it was a balmy 34 degrees. It won’t be above freezing again until late Thursday. We are fuuuuucked

A tragedy in suburbia: accidentally did my bagel on the toast setting 😭

We're owed a president with some virtuous scheming viziers after this. Some guy hissing "We must ban the SUVs sire"

The middle school theatre and high school band PTOs would blow their tiny fash minds

“BUT HER EMAILS” and “BOTH SIDES ARE JUST AS BAD” Friends with a dude for fifteen years before he said that to me in 2016 AND I’M GLAD I HAVEN’T SPOKEN TO HIM SINCE

Oh so now Medtronic is Mpls-based again? What happened to your Irish tax haven pride, Geoff you spineless piece of shit

look, the right wing's fever dream of the left is simply not true. no elected official no matter what their political persuasion is gong to go on TV and urge their constituents to read some hot man-on-man smut [aide whispers in my ear] wait what

Information for Williamson Co: Williamson County Emergency Management Agency is opening warming shelters at Fairview High School and Franklin High School. Limited food and animal support services will be available. We'll pass along anything that comes over their socials.

It is STUNNINGLY beautiful outside, and also terrifying because this metro area does not own salt, only sand. SUPER GLAD nobody has to go anywhere.

Weather update: there was exactly enough snow yesterday to fill up the gutters, so now that it is sleeting egregiously there is nowhere for water to go and the edges of the house are sheeting deathtraps. I am waiting for Ceres to just slide into the pool.

If I’m killed in the streets, please do not call for peace. Burn it all down. All. Of. It. I would not want peace. If anyone claims I’d want peace, beat that mfer ass first.

Current forecast status:

The author who uses these covers is welcome to contact me for an absolutely free badass heroine-matching custom fragrance

Friday is my usual grocery day which is, today, UNFORTUNATE

And NOW the weekend forecast remains none snow BUT!! three inches of ice

Now the weekend forecast says none. None snow. There’s a team of meteorologists somewhere looking at Tennessee’s totally incomprehensible topography going “🤷🤷🤷”

Every time someone writes “The text of the post” as the alt text for a screenshot of a post, a star explodes.

FRIENDS I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT MYSELF FOR A MOTHER OF THE YEAR AWARD the gup asked how to learn how to improv a clarinet part for the jazz concert because nothing was turning up on search so I got to carefully instruct her on the importance of using “scat +jazz” as her search term

The first time I saw the actual name for what my grandma called “puffy spinach bites” I read it as “Spankatopia” and the image of this glorious land of phyllo delight has been embedded in my brain ever since

A little bit ago Mad Science Assistant Beaker relayed the following: Assistant Beaker’s Dad: Does Cal sell her soap as shaving soap? She should consider printing custom brush handles. AB: I'll mention it to her. ABD: I want one shaped like a dick. Naturally I said I would do it.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE Weekend forecast has been downgraded to a mere two feet of snow!

I ALSO love this book, which is incredible for many reasons, the very least of which is BISEXUAL PEOPLE EXIST

I LOVE this book and $2 is a STEAL. Emma Barry is one of the vanishingly few who remember that the “com” part of a romcom is for COMEDY and she is HILARIOUS
