Just read On Her Terms by Amy Spalding (@thatames.bsky.social) and loved it. It reminded me that it’s okay at any point in life to redefine what paths we want to take, and we don’t have to do what’s expected or typical if it’s not for us. Also it’s a cute funny queer romance. 🏳️‍🌈 🩷💜💙

I love to look at the listener metrics for my podcast and see what episodes from the back catalogue are gaining steam. The most popular episode is now my conversation with @thatames.bsky.social about redefining "successful adulthood" as a queer person. Sleeper hit! open.spotify.com/episode/6pgH...

The number of different Chicago Pope photoshops that have popped up on my various timelines today is absolutely delightful. It's like all of the ancient civilizations of the world independently inventing noodles without ever meeting each other.

See the movies or don't, read your kids whatever you want, but this self-portrait of a gloating hatemonger is the identity she has chosen.

this story is more insane than the headline

This week's episode of REBEL EVER AFTER is dedicated to the quiet bisexuals. Listen to my convo with @thatames.bsky.social on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6pgH...

This week on Rebel Ever After, @thatames.bsky.social and I tackled the ultimate scam: being an "adult." What does adulthood (and the happily-ever-after) look like outside of a cis-het framework? Plus bisexual rep and how to build queer community. Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/6pgH...

Had a productive and emotional therapy session about my sense of failure for still having never really made something of my own and then got off the call and proceeded to make a list of menu items I would serve at a Talking Heads themed fast casual salad concept

We can’t prevent all of this administration’s harms, but we can greatly diminish their impacts if we organize.

More stuff besides software should be open source. Men would like that

I'm so excited for ON HER TERMS, coming next month! 🐾

If a man can’t give a Nazi salute at a party for a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender, then what kind of sick world are we living in, I ask you.

things started going wrong in our timeline when we didn't let antonio banderas be the phantom of the opera like he wanted

Thank you to Library Journal for this lovely review of ON HER TERMS!

You can tell companies’ AI projects are going really well because every app is bait-and-switching their most commonly pressed button with something called like “Answers By Glorp” to get people to even accidentally use it

Just put a bunch of envelopes in the mail and like from muscle memory whispered "good luck" a la Sophie in Mamma Mia

Feel like we’ve had a real Scoot McNairy Q4 and I’m not complaining

I am SO EXCITED to be @thatames.bsky.social's conversation partner at the NYC stop of her new book tour! Oh I am going to be SO nosy! I can’t wait! See you there! 😍

Dude literally hand-wrote a manifesto saying “It was the greed, lack of healthcare, and immense pain that caused us” and corporate media’s really tryna pull a “It was prolly the video games”, huh.

Stop using these apps entirely, people. Get a notebook and a pen and go analog. I'm serious

My contracts with my publishers don't allow them or me to use AI for anything, and that's the way I want it. Besides all of the obvious issues, I write because I get *pleasure* out of it--and solace and understanding and all kinds of other benefits. I am not "outsourcing" any of that.

you know, in theory i love mean women, but this dental hygienist was the wrong kind of mean.

Went to my glasses guy today to drop off some frames and worried I'd fucked up a measurement so I asked him to check it again, and he said, twice, that he was not "a slapdash guy" and further clarified he was not "working at Auntie Anne's making pretzels in the mall last week" I am obsessed with him

For many years I hosted a series on Pop! Goes The Reader called 'Tis The Season in which authors spoke about what the holidays mean to them. Few have stuck with me more than @thatames.bsky.social's post about the song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". popgoesthereader.com/tis-the-seas...
