Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

I've been working on some very cool #covers lately, and I'm always down to make more. If you or someone you know would like to book me (hehe) to illustrate and/or design a cover in 2025, feel free to reach out! isthiseva.carrd.co#covers

Yay it's here!! 🥰 I'm so excited to finally share the dinner of Tessa of Hundrfeld done by the talented @isthiseva.bsky.social ✨ Tessa of Hundrfeld is the first book in my historical fantasy series The Shadow Queen 👑 This cover perfectly captures Tessa as she starts out on her quest for vengeance ⚔️

Psst. Our Capybara Pronoun Pins from our 2023 Kickstarter are discontinued, and we need them out of our shop so we have the room for new stuff. Want two pins for $8? Go get 'em. They're buy one, get one, no code needed, as long as they last. (gotta put 2 pins in your cart for the discount to show.)

FWIW i’ve switched to @bookshop.org for ebooks and Libro for audio books and with very few exceptions had the exact same experience as Amazon without the greasy aftertaste. Highly recommended.

YAAAAY!

one of my favorite sentences in anything I've ever written lmao: These weren't his hands.

Overpaying for this tiny decorative pumpkin will fix me.

Idk what author needs to hear this but you don’t have to feel bad that you don’t wanna update that long form fic anymore. It’s okay, fics are passion projects and if you don’t feel the passion that’s fine 🙂‍↕️

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Me: this is great, glad to see authors ripped off by AI getting their due. Me after using the search tool: I am one of these ripped off authors. Academics, it only takes a minute. Seven of my papers are in this and I had no idea.

This is a good story.

People are using this post to name musicians who have caught on fire and so close that is a shape.

In addition to being one of history's most successful musicians, Taylor Swift has also successfully used a fire extinguisher.
