Apropos of nothing, I keep thinking of this sketch from Monty Python's Life of Brian when it comes to leftist circles these days: youtu.be/WboggjN_G-4?...

Everyone clocks the Sailor Moon influence on my Guardians of Dawn series (and rightfully so), but thus far no one has picked up on what I consider the VERY OBVIOUS nods to the Dragon Age franchise.

I consider the first day of spring not when the equinox arrives, but when my allergies do

I've written 30,000 words in the past ten days. Are they any good? Who knows!

I have to say it: if they go with a pregnancy storyline in Severance with regards to an Eagan, I will hate it.

*screaming about the latest episode of Severance*

Me and Kagome have the same bangs when I don’t style my hair

Just watched Conclave and chef’s kiss no notes love the campy melodrama and prestige drama tightwire it was walking the entire time

Oh so NOW AI-evangelists care about intellectual property theft? Excuse me while I laugh my head off.

Made and ate Korean rice cake soup, I can now grow a year older. Happy Lunar New Year!

I like world building so much maybe I'm better off writing an encyclopedia rather than a novel

I'm still stuck on the new title sequence for Severance because IS THAT A BABY WITH KIER'S HEAD AT THE END

I could have sworn I deleted all my tweets on the bird site but I guess I'm subscribing to Tweet Deleter now.

My upper eyelid has been twitching for the past several hours MAKE IT STOP

Just finished the second season of Squid Game and I feel that its themes of solidarity under capitalism are very...timely.

"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Squid GameS. Barnes and NobleS. Why must we pluralize that which is not plural.

Waiting week to week for Severance is going to be so hard 😩

Killing two gods and banishing one into a spirit world.

Can I opt out of this fucking Apple Intelligence it's ruining everything

I'm fortunate in that my EDS is pretty mild and I don't think about it much but for the past three weeks my left shoulder keeps randomly subluxating and it is VERY ANNOYING, especially as I sleep on that side.

My toxic trait is getting a mocktail and then asking the bartender to put vodka in it

Curse @runwithskizzers.bsky.social for introducing me to Neocities, I just spent the morning making my website barebones mobile friendly. Never underestimate my ADHD abilities to find "productive" ways to procrastinate! Also where can I join a web ring lol

The betrayal I feel when a pickle inside a baby pickle jar is in fact an child pickle

I've been inspired by @runwithskizzers.bsky.social (to procrastinate): sjaejones.neocities.org

Every once in a while, I think of the Swedes funeral scene set to a Swedish cover of Adele's Hello from Umbrella Academy, and I honestly believe that's where cinema peaked.

Why oh why did I have to write a war into my series this is like playing chess with myself AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY CHESS.* *Not for the lack of trying. Bear has tried, and failed, to teach me multiple times.

Switching tasks when you have ADHD is absolutely the worst. I can't just jump tracks willy-nilly! I need to be eased into things!

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it. TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed. Please consider helping:

My parents just let me know that the house I grew up in in Altadena is gone in the Eaton fires. Thankfully they moved out a few years ago, but I’m still processing this.

My wish for 2025: more group author events. My local indie is Bookmarks in Winston-Salem, NC and it’s amazing! Come visit!!

Hey, so TITAN OF THE STARS is on Netgalley.

Just popping by the announce that my upcoming sapphic YA fantasy (the third in the Guardians of Dawn series) is now available to request on NetGalley... www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

I...I think I got sent a fake Moleskine journal from Amazon???? The paper is different. Serves me right, I suppose. Buying direct now.

ADHD is thinking of a word and then the word flying out of your skull THE MOMENT you start typing.

Sometimes you wonder if you are writing into a void (especially when you write younger YA), and then you receive a fan letter from a 13-year-old reader and it makes it all worthwhile.

I think my nonbinary Shadow Dragons rogue Rook looks pretty neat in Hawke’s armor. Of course, this means Hawke is wandering around naked in the Fade though.

I can’t explain it but “boy” and “boi” are pronounced differently

No one I follow is talking enough about DanDaDan and that is a crime

It's been weeks since I've played Dragon Age: The Veilguard on my Shadow Dragons run and the question is: do I still remember how to work the controls

Potentially an unpopular opinion, but bring back the paperback original for YA, please.

All right I was skeptical when my parents gifted me an air fryer for Christmas but I must now admit I am a convert

I haven’t watched Sesame Street in a hot minute, but what is Elmo’s beef with Rocco?

If I wrote romance I would 100% keep some of this hot sauce on hand

Is it just me, or have Girl Scout cookies undergone shrinkflation in the past several years?

Oh my god, are we going to have an earnest, sincere Superman after all this time????

My dog just farted and then started sniffing and giving me the side-eye, like, sir, if you weren't the one who dealt it

I have a lot of Thoughts™ about algorithms rewarding passive consumption instead of actual engagement with media but I am too long-winded for that.
