I've had zyrtec, flonase, sudafed, and allergy eye drops so far today. I daresay pollen season has come 🥲

I'm happy to say today is the day for the book cover reveal of DEVOURING FORTUNE! @jeleynai.bsky.social did an incredible job on the illustration, I'm in awe. For fans of Tanith Lee and A.K. Larkwood, about bargains gone wrong. Follow the prelaunch page! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ole...

Krishna is very salty because I have stolen *entirely* too much of his fur this evening. Shedding season has started and that's *his* fur to throw everywhere, not mine to steal and throw in the trash can

I'm super late to this trend because I've been dying from allergies BUT these are some of the most influential games and/or favorites and/or ones that stuck around/came to mind for me. The 1st one is def first, but the next four are all tied for 2nd in different ways ...also I have a type for sure

Question 1: why is pollen Question 2: can it not Signed, Someone who's already taken zyrtec, flonase, and sudafed yet is still dying before pollen season's even truly started

Finally finished NEO The World Ends With You (after like 5 months of working on it), and will say, I love how they kept the spirit of the original while having fun references while keeping & paying tribute to the originals' legacy while distinctively being its own thing. Ideal sequel framework imo

I'm mostly free until my stats class tonight, so I daresay I'm gonna sneak in a burrito in front of tv break for a few hours. I'm on like Day 3/Week 3 of NEO TWEWY and maybe I need to binge some JRPG in my life for like four hours...

Tell me about indie books with trans men in them

Hey, I'm putting together a reading rec list for the Trans Rights Readathon (transrightsreadathon.carrd.co). I'm looking for SFFH books written by trans and non-binary authors featuring a sapphic / wlw / f/f f/x relationship (including QPR) prominently (protag &/or one of the major POV characters)

Slapping my cheeks to convince me to get this stats lab done. It's not working, but it's the thought that counts (unfortunately no, I need to do the actual thing)

I think Krishna truly believes I'm stealing his fur every time I brush him with the equigroomer... He gives me the biggest "hooman that's MY fur leave it alone!!! Get your own" expression and is so offended. And then wants the slicker brush bc apparently that's the good stuff

Well some of y'all did ask for more rants XD https://www.lizsauco.com/blog-1/critique-and-feedback

Literally everything, half off. www.smashwords.com/profile/view...

Krishna is a spicy man this morning, and only he knows why. He's demanded pets, outright moved my arm so I could be his pillow, reached out to paw-touch me, and demanded the slicker brush. What a demanding void for not even 8am...

Good news, everyone! Both Lost Blades and Colors of Magic are in the A very Queer March bundle on Itch.io. Over 60 books for $60! It's running through the end of the month, so check it out! https://itch.io/b/3545/a-very-queer-march

So I got a cheap slicker brush recently to see if it'd help with some dandruff Krishna's been having an uh... I mean, it has I think, but also he's fallen in love with the brush where he now purrs and nuzzles it and noms the handle while staring at me to brush him so maybe too successful here...

Sat down and really tried to lock in for Recollection dev edits today, and we got decent progress! Chs 7-20 have their second pass, and I'd love to be able to do this again tomorrow if possible. ...In the meantime, I'm very ready for bed and my hands hurt despite the compression gloves rip

HA I caught a continuity error (this is how I justify my second dev edit round to myself, it's absolutely copium at this point)

This week's pixel art adventure was fan art of my friend Alyssa's world featuring a frog pond! In her series, a frog pond is the meet-cute of her two MCs (both boys). The pond makes reoccurring appearances and brings me joy every time~ This one is small, so I gave it an outlet with the implication
