Got to spend a few hours in studio today. Here’s a preview of more copper bookmarks for Romancing the Vote. There’s steampunk pipes, snowflakes, stars, feathers, flowers, coffee beans, and more! @romancingthevote.com #BookSky

Yourself, but as a cartoon It’s actually my favorite gif...

I drilled down to the original post, and I don’t know which is sadder for me - that most of these lists start decades after I was born, or that I’ve never heard of a lot of these movies.

I’ll be making bookmarks for Romancing the Vote. Here’s a fun one to start, something to use with your favorite spine-tingler. Most of my designs are nature-themes, and I have a few beverage-themed ones, too. @romancingthevote.com #BookSky

Two authors I discovered on Bluesky will be in Portland, Maine this month. @levacrosen.bsky.social and @chanda.blacksky.app are coming to Print: A Bookstore. I just got home from the store with my new reading assignments. So exciting!!! @printbookstore.bsky.social #BookSky #IndieBookstore #Pride

Take a break from doomscrolling and read something fun.

The Onion finally goes too far…..

Baseball is for everyone.

This is a very pretty plant. And a really nice photo of a very pretty plant.

Life’s been so hectic, I haven’t been in studio in a month. Finally got there today and started working on pretty things for romancingthevote.com Here’s a teaser - Our Choice and Crying Liberty pendants and ring dish I’ll be donating.

Enjoying the quiet rumbling of my boiler as it takes the chill off the house this morning.

Just a reminder that there’s an entire feed of gift links and gift articles. Hundreds of posts every day with free links to NYTimes, WaPo, WSJ, The Atlantic, and more. bsky.app/profile/davi...

We’re absolutely seeing this in romance. Fewer queer romances published by the Big 5, and the ones that are don’t receive the same marketing & publicity support. It’s why I started my podcast Rebel Ever After — to support and celebrate diverse authors whose books are being left behind.

I’d love to say that episode 6 of Widow’s Bay is good, but the night scenes - which is much of the episode - are so dark that I have no idea what is happening.

Out of the blue today, I got a craving for a fluffernutter. It did not disappoint.

This is a level of disclaimer skill I someday hope to aspire to.

If you spend any time in the water, you need to read this article. Seriously, READ THIS

Adorable little boxes

Spent the afternoon at the local nursery to get plants before the masses descend this weekend. I bought too many plants (joking, there’s no such thing). I also picked up several native perennials so I can start making my yard more 🐝🦋🐦 friendly and easier to maintain. I’ll add more next year.

This goes on the list of cutest things ever!

This is my favorite of the bee pieces in my shop. It’s modeled after another cuff I made for myself - the stone on that one is 4 times the size it has more citrine. #WorldBeeDay 🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️🐝❤️

More pieces for #WorldBeeDay I love bees, and I love making bee stuff 🐝❤️

Google image search is gonna break today, as clothing guy's followers scour the internet looking for this shirt in their size.

Finished this week's errands today because it's going to be hot AF starting tomorrow. I'll only need to venture outside to throw water on the garden. Summer sucks. Summer in May sucks extra. 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Portland Peeps!! Passes are on sale for the new pool, and they are 10% off through the end of May. portlandme.myrec.com/info/activit... #pool #Maine #RisingEddy #KiwanisPool @carolinelosneck.bsky.social

Any Maine peeps who can help?

Used the free valet service at the hospital today and now i’m getting text messages asking me to rate my experience.

A really fun timeline cleanse. Olive all the creativity 🫒

I love that a fair portion of my feed is conversations that trace back to this post. I had replied that my next indie bookstore order is 4 books. After scrolling through saved posts, I found a few more. Today's 100% Bluesky writers book order is 9, including 3 pre-orders. 📚📚📚📚📚❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jerry is on the long list of stuff I’ll never be able to explain to not-online people. They don’t know what they are missing.

This article is helpful; I’m so happy it fell into my feed.

Seen at my post office today. I assume this means the USPS doesn’t believe gas prices are coming down between now and that time in the fall where they temporarily bump prices for holiday shipping. I’m a USPS fan, so please don’t say mean things about them if you reply.

This is a fun series. Y’all should cough up the 99 cents and check them out*

Ran a couple of errands this afternoon. Had to turn on the car’s AC. Did 5 minutes of light moving stuff outside when I got home. I’m now hot and sweaty. ‘Michele bitches about it being too damn hot’ season has officially arrived.

I know the rule. The ‘if you see it you must repost it’ video is imbedded in an interesting article from NEORSD about runoff, so everyone gets a two-fer.

Saw Heated Rivalry and one other book from the series at BJs tonight. Rachel Reid is mainstream now.

We need a dating app that’s just this question.

I know the game is 15, but i’m old and have watched more than my fair share of tv, so if you’re ever stuck with not having a life for a few years this list might help pass the time. 1/3 China Beach Our Flag Means Death North of North Dark Winds Bless This Mess Veronica Mars The Americans

I’m a fan of Rebel Ever After, just wanted to let you know how much I loved your latest interview with TJ Alexander. I’ve never tried regency romances, but I loved Triple Sec, and after listening to the podcast I’m taking the plunge and ordering A Lady For All Seasons. @brosandprose.bsky.social

I’m here for every single thing The Onion does to troll the f*** out of Alex Jones.

How is it May already?

I was excited to share finding one of my favorite queer baseball books (who am I kidding, I love all the queer baseball books) on the staff rec shelf at my local library, but KT isn’t on bluesky. Anyway, The Prospects by KT Hofmann is fun, and the Portland Maine Burbank branch has 🔥 staff picks.

If there were a ‘worst SCOTUS decisions ever’ tournament, which would win in the final round - Dred Scott or Callais?

Jamir Cunningham had no desire for love. He ran a bookstore and had a tight-knit group of friends. When Emmy Park entered his store, he instantly fell for the stunning, irritable, chubby Korean man. Read my cozy M/M romance More to Love books2read.com/u/bwyrAO #mmromance #blackbooksky

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.
