I guessss this season of The Boys is better than last season but that ain't saying much

GNU Terry Pratchett, whose words will echo long after we, and our children, and our children’s children have moved on thank you, as always, for making me a better person (quote from Reaper Man)

It’s depressing to me that “reading“ is now framed as a hobby instead of, you know, a default activity for leisure and edification practiced generally by a literate populace.

The iPhone I just tried to borrow from a friend is too old for the apps I have to use at work (can't handle ios 16 lol). I am genuinely afraid this android one is going to start a fire in my hand. Please consider commissioning me.

Needing to raise $200 for a new phone as the one I've been borrowing has a swollen battery and is likely to soon explode :'D this is the last two weeks before my base #commission prices raise by $50, so let's help each other out? Spicy art extra. Very fast turnaround!

“At the age of twelve I knew how to lose myself in a book. That’s almost impossible now because I’m always thinking analytically, about how this or that effect is achieved, why it works or doesn’t work. But I think that’s why I write, because I can leave myself behind.” —Monica Ali

this is a reminder that our subs are open until May 15 -- links in bio :D

yall remember… companies dont make art, people do. there is no disney art, there is no unreal or tencent art. they create a wrapper around someone else’s art. find out who makes the stuff you love

back in like 2014 I started writing a satirical erotica about a woman who worked in a frozen yogurt shop. One of the lines was "She had plenty of toys, but nothing compared to being disappointed by a real live man" and I had to stop writing because nothing could have topped that. #erotica #writing

I am writing a werewolf x vampire romance, and that's been fun. I've been making myself write a chapter a day. Once I get a certain amount, I’ll share on wattlad or ao3 ^-^

Had to go to the doctor for my back pain and the copay is $60. I'm in desperate need for a comm. 😭 Reminder that this is the last month before my base prices raise!!

Need job. Gets “kill yourself” loop when applying for anything non-remote. The only one that truly sticks out is also an exploitive ghost writing position. Bleh.

April 16 is National Librarian Day in the US. To celebrate this day, we offer fifteen books and one film for those who love libraries and the people who make them places for everyone: the librarians. worldliteraturetoday.org/blog/booklis...

Made it to fifty daily poems :3

Rehabilitation of the Dandelion! No other plant in the Netherlands attracts as many bee species: 107. In early spring, when nothing else is blooming, it is simply there. Meadow bird chicks that have just hatched depend on the insects that are drawn to dandelions. No dandelion, no insect, no chick.

Torn between wanting my books to sell better, and not wanting to ever be *good* at Sales, because that feels disgusting. Please magically be aware of my books so I don’t have to talk about them ever. 😂

To be clear: this slot is open now, but price raise does not kick in for 1 month.

1,700 words today! While my attention span was being a pain!

The AC has been broken for several weeks. It /was/ supposed to be fixed today but now another part is needed. Not looking forward to the cost :/

If you sexually assaulted someone, you should not be serving in Congress—[or as President]. Period.

Fuck this. As an industry, we are in an existential crisis of book banning because of homophobia and transphobia weaponized by racist authoritarians. “Dirty books” are not the problem. Censorship is. Make whatever books you like, but don’t you dare call other books dirty in your shitty marketing.
