Gadget has decided that her sister makes a pretty good footrest. Gidget is not as delighted with the situation.

Today seems to be a great day for birds and dragons! This is a lovely poem!

This is such a charming flash fiction! A crow gets inside a dragon’s lair, sees all the glittery goodies, and does what crows do as the dragon watches on and considers the audacity. I love them both!

I had three extra ripe bananas so I made cinnamon chocolate chip cake! Yum!

Enjoying a lazy Sunday.

Gadget wants to both play and nap at the same time. Decisions, decisions.

On 4th of July, I celebrate those who strive for the joyful ideals of America while denouncing so many of its actions (especially current horrid actions). Also, if you’re somewhere where there are fireworks and you have pets, I hope you cuddle them extra tonight.

NO KINGS 🇺🇸

Why did an author need to edit their vampire novel? It needed more stakes.

Gadget always looks happiest when she’s stolen my seat.

Sharing some joy from last year! Happy Spoiler Alert: All of the hummingbird babies grew up safely and left their nests! #birds 🪶

Hooray, my KNITTING...IN SPAAAACE story is out today! @darthj.uno does an incredible job with the narration, and @tinaconnolly.bsky.social 's story notes are so lovely. I'm so pleased to be able to share this with you all--I hope you enjoy it!

The observer. The subject of observation.

Coalition building is not the same as pandering to people's worst bigotries in the hopes they'll like you.

Hello there

Gidget has determined that her sister is a comfy pillow

I realized I never announced it, but just an FYI that I deleted my Twitter/X account (for obvious reasons). I’m mentioning this since my old author bios stated one could contact me there. I guess I should’ve added a caveat that one could find me there until it became an unrelenting dumpster fire.

Timeline cleanse! Gidget only wants to be woken up if it’s time for play

Gorgeous with a melancholy tone yet still so very hopeful! I really liked it!

I’ve noticed some people are calling current US-related events “the horrors” and that’s aptly named. It’s horrifying. I’m so angry, fearful, and sad. I anguish over what is going on in my county and how it’s impacting the world. I’m taking what action I can and cuddling my cats. Stay safe everyone

May we all be loud, bite our foes, and expel evil.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Is Gadget transforming into a demon or is she playing with her plastic toy spider?

Let’s talk about resistance after a conqueror takes power. Specifically let’s talk about this bendy yellow building, and what it shows us about the moment the Florentine Republic finally fell to its kleptocratic/proto-capitalist banking-fortune Medici conquerors 1/?

My slippers might be too big for her

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night. Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App TOGGLE OFF. You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡

This app has been really useful. I grew up in the LA area and still have friends and family there (they’re okay). I’ve been using the app often to check on the wildfires so I don’t bombard my loved ones with too any anxiety texts. My heart breaks because of all this. Please stay safe.

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I just found out that I’m one of @talestoterrify.bsky.social most-downloaded episodes of 2024! I’m so thrilled and giddy! They produce such amazing episodes! www.instagram.com/p/DEP6pl8xnZ...

Hmmm… I wonder if a cat walked across my bed. I guess I’ll never know.

I’m starting my new year off right by writing! Am I working on my WIPs? Nope! Am I doing way too much deep-sea creature research? Definitely! But really, how can you resist wanting to write about this charming sea cucumber? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enypnia...

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

Cat Clinging To Side Of Christmas Tree Admits That Was Extent Of Plan theonion.com/cat-clinging...

I had a wonderful evening with family last night, and I still can’t get over their gorgeous cat. Look at this majestic beauty!

I recently read The Blighted Stars by @meganeokeefe.bsky.social 🪐futuristic space sci-fi, great writing and characters, political intrigue, slow burn romance, queer normative world🪐 #booksky

These teapot designs are perfection!

Gadget has determined my shopping bag is really her sleeping bag.

Delighted to share that The Blighted Stars now has officially licensed merch from The Marauders' Market! maraudersmarket.com/collections/...

My purring weighted blanket

I just finished #Arcane and now I’m in that happy hangover stage after watching the end of an amazing show! I highly recommend it as long as you don’t mind darkness in your action fantasy (though it never feels hopeless). And the art is gorgeous!

I can’t believe it’s been a year! They’re my adorably perfect chaos girls!

I know Bluesky might be taking off because my mom just joined it. Hi Mom!

May as well dive right in. Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball? According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’” Source: cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/34...

It’s been rough, but getting some fresh air and watching birds always makes me feel better.

I cannot emphasize enough that if you feel like everything is totally hopeless and fucked right now- that staying alive is enough at this moment- if that's all you have energy for. Take a day, take a week, grieve. Then sit down, gather your bearings & do what you need to do to keep moving forward.

I think everyone needs some extra cuteness tonight.
