The AI grift emails us authors get are always silly, but lately they've been trying to get me with the "I'd love to connect and chat about writing!" - signed, a famous author But like, I don't follow adult lit. So I never know these famous names. So it just sounds like a total rando emailing me. 😂

Me: Desperately trying to hit a writing deadline by the end of the month. My 4yo yesterday, 72 hours out from April: Hold my vomit.

Supergirl will call you back tomorrow. #Supergirl lands in theaters June 26.

Hearing that 900+ acres of land in the Adirondacks was being returned to the Haudenosaunee confederacy really made me happy! #landback www.paulsmiths.edu/news/histori...

Every cat owner has garbage laying around the house and you have to explain that its the cat's favorite garbage and so you can't throw it away.

There are a lot of movies I'd actually want to see in theaters soon, but I don't have time in my life for the hour plus of extra viewing time to get through the endless ads they show before playing these days, yet I'm too anxious to come in "late" for fear of missing the start of the movie. 😭 Sigh.

Was not prepared for the dance moves

Doing the thing where I read my entire manuscript out loud to do a fine toothed comb hunt for errors. My audience is critical thus far. He thinks it's severely lacking in cheese treats. Not even a mention of freeze dried tuna.

Elderly couple next to me at #NoKingsBoston yesterday: Man: "Oh no, now my back hurts." Woman: "Let's get you a seat. That nice man said there were medical stations." Man: "No, no, those are for people who need them." Woman: "You need one!" Man: "No. I need to show I can stand up to this evil!"

Me, checking with my 4yo as he takes a rest on a sick day: "Do you have everything you need?" My 4yo, the literal embodiment of Twilight Sparkle, nodding decisively: "Yes. I have my books, my crown, and my list."

Graphic novels do, in fact, count as "real reading" and kids should feel proud reading them.

Say hello to my little friend.

there it is, all 7 continents

Hours later now, I keep feeling my own stomach cramping and going, Not Now, Stomach! *hands on hips* ...Like I can just willpower this germ away. Which I obviously can, because I am a STRONG and DETERMINED. YES.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

lol, overheard someone say that nowadays everyone wants to be part of a village but doesn't want to be a villager. And I can't stop thinking about it.

this is the most infuriating part of the harry potter discourse - if you're going to watch it, then watch it, god knows millions of people played the stupid game but if you know enough to be aware of the issues, you don't get to ask trans people to absolve you

My publishing edition contribution is that everyone in publishing knows that best sellers lists are curated. Publishers choose their leading titles, and put their promotion money behind them. If you’re not a lead title… I’m sorry. Just another publishing is not fair in any way thing. 🫠✨

I have never quite sympathized as much with my parents as I did this morning as my 4yo came down with a stomach bug and was stubbornly insisting he knew he needed to throw up but he was sure could stop it, he could CONTROL this, he just WOULDN'T DO IT----BLAHHHHHGHGHHHRRRRGHGHHHH

#NoKings #NoKingsCambridge At the protest today. This is our 4yo, who gravitated to this banner and couldn't look away. This. This is why we are here. 💙

#NoKingsBoston had a roped off area, in memoriam. Tens of thousands of people walking the Boston Common, and yet everyone was respecting this space. #NoKings

Stopped by the (totally jam-packed) @standupforscience.net booth at #NoKingsBoston yesterday and got a rad sticker. Thanks for being out there, fighting for science!!! #ImpeachRFK

Dropkick Murphys altered its treasured American anthem and led 180,000 participants assembled on Boston Common in a new chorus: "Lets ship them out of Boston," Ken Casey belted out, in the band's Quincy Irish-American folk punk way. The crowd replied, "whoa," appropriately, in three notes. #NoKings

Sounds like Boston did indeed have an even larger turnout than last time. Between 180,000-200,000! #NoKings Which makes the most common comments I overheard make sense. All variations on, "I didn't know what to expect, but it's really nice seeing this many other people hate him as much as we do."

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

Hurt my heart to see but this is good.

I don't know how many people were at the Boston #NoKings today, but I was there today and at the last one in October, and this one *felt* like more people. Maybe a lot more. (Or maybe it was just similar but distributed around the Common differently.) In any case, it was inspiring.

#NoKings #NoKingsBoston #Rebel

What a shot. #NoKings

"I don't know if this one will be as well attended." Ahem. Exiting the T at the Boston Common with an endless stream of signs and flags. #NoKings 💙

Protest days are the only days I patriotically wear red, white, and blue. #NoKings

We used our signs from last October's protest as window decorations all winter and now we get to take them to their next protest today! Reduce, reuse, recycle, baby!!! #NoKings

The Fox Sparrow and I agreed: too much wind. 😁 #birds

Don't sleep on the alt text

I just stood with my entire sleeved forearm getting soaked through with piping hot water as I paused washing dishes because I spaced out, and bonus, couldn't register what was causing me such pain and discomfort and um, I think I have to declare this new medicine a no-go for me. 😱😅😵‍💫

Had only two sales this month so if you could check out my shop or ko-fi or boost this, that'd help a lot! thanks anaisfae.art/shop ko-fi.com/anaisfae
