New mug alert! Love that my friends know me so well

So I’m a bird gal, I love feeding our backyard birds. I’ve tried to research whether I take down my feeders and it seems inconclusive. What are my other bird folks doing? Is rotating them out daily with a good cleaning good enough? I feel bad for my birds ☹️😭

How are you finding evening time hobbies that isn’t doom scrolling? I’m having trouble concentrating on reading at the moment so that’s out and can only do so much TV. It’s been hard to do much of anything this week because it feels like the world is ending so why bother. Help!

I’ve rewatched #Supernatural probably 12+ times and I will always always always skip the episode Bugs. Every time. It’s my Scott’s Tots.

Being someone who menstruates but also produces kidney stones on the reg is so annoying. The pain is always very similar for me so I’m like WHICH IS IT JUST TELL ME

Running a 10K in 75 days (Cap10K in Austin). I haven’t done any running since November due to an injured toenail so I feel behind 😵‍💫

After months of hard work and dedication I finally finished my #ER rewatch and can get on with my life. The finale was really so well done.

Ugh. I wasn’t going to do the #rundisney Wine & Dine this year but then they go and make the half marathon LADY AND THE TRAMP themed. So yeah. Goodbye money that I don’t even have.

The vibes from my writing retreat are always stellar

Alright alright, I reckon I’ll start posting here again

“Before you croque” was right there

Book I’m most excited about from #txla24- Olivetti by Allie Millington.

Anyone at #txla24 this year? I’ll be hanging at the SCBWI booth off and on (2824). Come say hi! And let me know if you need a plus one for fancy parties and such. 😛

Hey FBI- I know y’all be watching. I always thought it would be cool to be an agent. You know where to find me (literally). I await your call.

The ALL Y’ALL conference schedule is up! Plus we’ve added some more in-person faculty! www.scbwi.org/events/texas...

My mother has finally started using emojis. I told her I was coming to visit soon and this was her response. I don’t have the heart to tell her it doesn’t means what she thinks it does. 😮‍💨 [🍃]

Stuff like these outages (apparently there’s a lot of sites down) makes me so anxious. I’ve read/watched too much post apocalyptic stuff 🫣

Freddy Pickles says hi as well. This is him on a therapy dog visit at a fire station. They were learning how to use new AED machines and Freddy needed to “help” perform CPR

Yes hello hi I am here because I didn’t get my morning Facebook and Instagram fix

Freddy had to go to the emergency vet today 😢 he probably has a herniated disc (he had surgery for one in 2018) so he’s on meds and rest for the next few weeks. Breaks my heart. 😔

Don’t mind me I’ll just be in bed and asleep by 8:30 on a Saturday

Anyone remember Space Cases? Nickelodeon 1996ish I’ve never met a single person who remembers it. #spacecases

I’ve been in such a reading rut lately. What’s everyone reading?

Some exciting news coming up today about a certain conference I’ve been planning 👀 (along with an amazing, stellar, badass committee obvs)

I was on a flight this week and somebody had some mad toots and I think I found the culprit (his name was Henry and he was A Very Good Boy)

Someone wrote me an email at 4PM yesterday. I logged into my email at 11AM today and saw they’d emailed again at 10AM and were frustrated they hadn’t gotten a response from me. It had been three business hours. This immediate response culture has got to stop.

🚨 Webinar Alert! 🚨 Always wanted to know what goes into creating a graphic novel? Join Austin SCBWI as we host a webinar with author/illustrator C.S. Jennings! C.S. has illustrated over two dozen books for kids and has a new graphic novel series coming out this year. www.scbwi.org/events/webin...

I found this photo the other day and have been using it to comment on so many things. It’s been very useful.

Hi friends, long time no see! How’s everyone doing? What’s new?

Finally cool enough that I can wear my favorite sweatshirt.

The fact that this is photoshopped is absolutely gut wrenching.

Who’s watching the new Goosebumps on Disney+? It’s so good! Very well done.

I’ve had a kidney stone for a month+ now and I am Officially Over It.

We wore our Halloween pajamas to therapy dog day

Just in- they’re doing a Pawject Runway event

Don't mind us...just getting a lay of the land here on BlueSky. Feel free to take a paws and say hello though! 🦦👋

I need a hobby that doesn’t involve using my eyes. They’re so fatigued today I feel like I can’t focus on anything.

I’m an OG Grey’s Anatomy watcher. I’m forever waiting for the plot twist of George walking through the door and he’s shocked everyone thought he was dead when really he just went to Iraq and ghosted everybody.

My gosh it took me like 12 times to make that post bc I kept finding typos and it made me mad
