Authors if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line of your book. “Every summer, Brandon says it is hotter than the devil’s ass crack, and I have never quite understood what he means by that. NOTE: How hot is the devil’s ass crack, exactly?” 😂😂😂

My in & outs of 2025 ✨ Releasing negativity, accepting positivity. 🤍

I’m born on the first day of the year and I’ve always aligned myself with rebirth, with growth, with renewal. Each year as everyone preps to start anew, I think of it as aligning with identity. How can I, as I step into a mother year of life, embrace the new year and a new year for me as well.

Things like this need to be talked about more. When I was pregnant with my 5th and last child, I was told my urine came back positive for alcohol. I don’t know I was being tested for that. I hadn’t drunk anything and it seemed to be a combo of the alcohol wipe I used to clean and the urine +

Oooo a planned brainstorming session with @audreyruoff.bsky.social and @noellemonet.bsky.social on the horizon! Great things are gonna happen! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This is so harmful to myself and other autistic people and we are so exhausted. Not only does it, as this post says, stigmatize autism but it literally sends a message that y’all would rather yourself or your kids be dead than autistic and that’s the most hurtful thing.

There’s still time to apply!! I can’t wait to see your adult, MG, and YA works!!!

Just coming here to say that everybody needs a friend like @tjbentonwalker.bsky.social in their life if you don’t already have him. That’s all. Just an appreciation post for my fraaannnndddd!! ☺️🤍

I’m sad because it was actually cold in Florida for like a week and now the sun wants to make an appearance again like…. Go away 🙄🙄

I just got the absolute most gorgeous tarot deck. 😍

Had an amazing and much needed talk with @thejumbles.bsky.social today that put so much in perspective and really boosted my confidence as a writer and I’m just feeling very lucky and grateful today! ☺️🌸

Talking bad about Wicked might get you cussed out over here 💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾

Yall gotta find another name for posting than skeets. Yall know why. 😑

Wicked was amazing. I cried. No notes. 😭😭😭😭

I have my Wicked tickets for tomorrow and I’m so excited!!!!

What are my favorite YT videos and why are they musicians reacting to the persona 5 OST?

Am I in a starter pack or something? How are people finding me? 😂

Wait why did I come over after months away and I have so many follows 😭😭 what is happening? 😂😂😂

Fine!! Yall got me! I’m posting over here now too!

One day I’ll remember this place exists and be more consistent 😭

The better my friends and colleagues do, the more rooms they can say my name in.

There are things I want to be famous for and things I’d never wanna be famous for and dear reader….. whew.

See can’t leave Twitter because the drama that happens there doesn’t happen anywhere else 😭😭😭😭

Will I finally stop forgetting this app exists? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!

Halloween wiped me out but gave me fun ideas to write about!

Gaza is in an almost total media blackout, with only a few journalists and civilians sharing what is happening due to having international e-Sims. Israel’s communications minister says he will fight any attempt to restore communications. UNRWA has described the situation in Gaza as ‘hell on earth’.

When you haven’t looked at your book in so long that you look at your own words and wonder who wrote that? 😭

I need to learn to not default to Twitter anymore. Someone help me let that toxicity go. 😭

My kids are listening to Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears on repeat and I’m not even sure how they discovered it.

It’s bi visibility week which makes me so excited for the two books I’m working on now!!
