Checking my face before a morning meeting and realizing you can still see the lines in my face from my CPAP mask 🤓 🤡

Fuck this is so upsetting. I wrote about Bluestocking Books in my newsletter last year, bc it's an indispensable community resource and one of the last feminist bookstores standing. I hate that it ended this way. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now. But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library! It's easy! Check your library's website.

I wrote about the firing of Alan Sepinwall, which is awful. And I tied it into what's happening all over in the media, why it's scary & what we can do to help. I used my words, but it's definitely Hulk Mo dialed up to 11, if that's a thing you would like to experience: www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

Cheers to us night owls just trying to survive in a morning person’s world

The power of story. www.instagram.com/reel/DN5e-wO...

I put Heddle in for shits and giggles and a short story I wrote for Star Wars Insider years ago popped up. (As well as many academic and scientific papers by smarter Heddles, so that was humbling.) So if you’ve ever had ANYTHING published, take a look!

I hate asking for help, but I'm desperate. If you are in California, specifically the Central Valley, please share. I just need to ID one of the people who signed this paper and I can be free of my abuser. I am exhausted and tired of being scared.

ICYMI, the @goldsborobooks.bsky.social limited, signed, numbered edition of STAR WARS: MASTER OF EVIL is up for pre-order. Just 1,000 copies and when they are gone, they are gone. goldsborobooks.com/products/sta...

Finally got myself to watch the Diane Sawyer interview with Bruce Willis’ wife Emma about being a #caregiver and even though our situations are different the emotional stuff was all too relatable. Great to see someone high profile advocating for caregivers. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-unexpe...

Please help this local trans nerd keep from being evicted! This is a super time sensitive emergency....

As someone who both works on Star Wars products and is a Kelly Clarkson fan, I get her song "Dark Side" stuck in my head a lot.

I think I need these? creations.mattel.com/pages/little...

Who do you forget exists more, Mark from Parks & Recreation or Mandy from West Wing?

This is great.

I was remiss in not mentioning it yesterday, but I'm so happy that SANCTUARY by @lamargiles.bsky.social is now out in the world! It is one heck of a fun read, IMNSHO. I've seen some reviews say it feels like an episode of TBB, which is high praise indeed. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/761124...

Last night for the first time I visited the CaregiverSupport subreddit and it left me really shaken. So many people in the absolute depths of despair, some thinking of ending it all. Lots of talk of feeling hollowed out as a person, doing little to nothing for themselves. It's an overlooked crisis.

I brought back some classic literature from my mom’s house in KC that I think I’ll enjoy

I feel like a lot of this could have been avoided if men had embraced fan fiction.

Our last piece of #StarWarsTheHighRepublic fiction—for now—hits shelves w/ THE BEACON, @cavan.bsky.social's final issue of his incredible Marvel run. Today, our story comes to its bittersweet & dramatic conclusion. Thank you all for creating, reading, & supporting this era. You are all the best.

Talking The Acolyte books! @tessagratton.bsky.social on The Crystal Crown: “I tried not to make them suffer too much after watching the show!”

🚨 This woman tries to call the family of the man being disappeared and ICE will not allow her to get a phone number. One of the “undercover” mobsters nearly backed into her.

Spreads from my upcoming 'Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation' book were previewed at today’s Lucasfilm Publishing panel at San Diego Comic-Con! Industrial Light & Magic has the story (and more spreads): www.ilm.com/ilm-50-book-... You can pre-order the book at Amazon: amzn.to/45671Ww

Republicans are waging a generalized war on science, but I think many of them don’t fully grok that RFK isn’t at war with science alone or per se: he’s at war with sick people, and of the view that only the lucky should be allowed to survive into old age. They are know nothings, he is Mengele.

For those who missed it (myself briefly included): Announced today. Coming out next year. Covers seasons 1-3. Working on it now. That’s all for now. 🙏

The news is out! For fans of underworld stories and the Outlaws video game, Star Wars: Low Red Moon will be loads of fun and have plenty of gut-punching emotional beats as we get to see how ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax became partners. THREAD!

By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute. Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

I’ve had a migraine ebbing and flowing for a week now. It’s so frustrating. A feeling of life passing you by as you struggle to function.

Watched the Jaws documentary tonight. Enjoyed it a lot, thought it was really well done. I was impressed by how open Spielberg was about it being a traumatic experience. And particularly enjoyed the focus on the local people and what they contributed to the film. Worth watching for sure!

Absolutely infuriating.

Hakeem Jeffries is still speaking but eventually Republicans are going to pass their megabill. And it hasn't been discussed much, but that is going to force $500 billion in cuts to Medicare. Not just Medicaid. Medicare. Here's why: prospect.org/politics/202...

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

*gets news alert that the bill passed the House, tosses work over shoulder, and walks into the sea*

Three years ago today was my husband's stroke, completely changing our lives. Grateful he's still here but so much of it is still really hard. Don't take each other for granted.

You ever think about how Yoda’s last words are about Leia or are you a normal person

View from the back row at @charlessoule.bsky.social’s book signing, in conversation with @infinata.bsky.social at Books Inc in San Francisco. Great turnout! #TheHighRepublic

Happy release day to Trials of the Jedi!!! I loved doing fan art throughout the Phase 1 and 2 releases and although I spent most of Phase 3 doing official art, I couldn’t let it come to an end without doing one last illustration.

Happy TRIALS OF THE JEDI day! It's hard to believe this day is actually here! @charlessoule.bsky.social did an amazing job with this final book. #TheHighRepublic has been one heck of a ride and I'm glad I got to take it with such wonderful people. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/734822...

Life at Lucasfilm: I literally just thought someone somewhere in the office was screaming in pain and then realized it was just a recording of Chewbacca.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Just heard about Peter David's passing. My love and sympathies to my friends who were close to him. May his memory be a blessing.

I wrote a Star Wars

So excited for STAR WARS: THE LAST ORDER to come out into the world later this year -- it has been an absolute pleasure working with @kwamembalia.bsky.social and I'm in love with the cover art by Kim Thompson. collider.com/star-wars-th...

About to get a spinal cortisone injection for the first time, please send good vibes 🥺
