This sums up the cruel making-shit-up nature of the Trump administration as much as anything. Not only is this incorrect according to scientists but he uses the brand name (hello, lawsuit) & rants about 'toughness'. That man couldn't handle one mid-level period cramp. www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/h...

Me: I'm gonna pull it together & get some work done today (remembers I have an eye appt where my eyes will be dilated, sees workers with jackhammers ripping out concrete right outside my office)

This week was trash for many reasons so now I’m punching fascists in a video game. Feels good.

Lots of great memories from my recent trip to Disneyland but a unique highlight was the lights turning on in Indy during a long stop. (Then we got to ride it again!)

LEGO sets, animation, video games ... it's a lot of great stuff over the last 20 years! I wrote a very brief history of the partnership between LEGO and Star Wars for the official site. www.starwars.com/news/lego-st...

I have been offline recently so this isn't related to anything specific but I just need to vent that I wish there was a way to mute all articles/posts/podcasts focused on something somebody said in another interview/panel, etc. I feel like that **** is pushing me off social media (so maybe thanks?)

Today one of my son’s friends who goes to another high school and was home sick texted him that his school was in lockdown. It was a false alarm. But neither of them knew that at the time. And he told me this like he was telling me about a school assembly - because it’s so normalized here.

Check out the new trailer for Star Wars: Beyond Victory! Sebulba! Grakkus the Hutt's necklace! A Twi'lek mechanic! www.starwars.com/news/beyond-...

Just got my flu and covid shots - small victories!!

This game is cursed. Too hot. Broncos look sloppy. Thunder delayed halftime. Thunder the horse is sick and not running. Surprise rainstorm.

I'll once again be Broncos all the way win or lose this season. But also rooting for the Bills and Lions - despite that seeming like a think you do when you are looking for heartbreak. I like tragedy in my Star Wars and my football! What I want more than anything is a unique Super Bowl matchup!!

Sometimes having a cat means you follow the meow monster around your house asking “What do you want? Why so loud?” and they just wanted to take you on a little walk for fun.

Shout out to @kristinbaver.bsky.social for rescheduling a meeting with me when my daughter called for the first time since she moved away for college about 5 minutes in and my reaction was "Kristin! I have to GO! This is an emergency. My child is communicating with me." 😂

In my first phone call with my daughter after dropping her off at college she said that her dorm mates are getting together in the lounge to watch TV shows that drop new episodes once a week so they can all watch together and maybe the world can be saved after all.

I am completely freaking out about the creatures in Alien: Earth - good job everyone 🤣 I literally can’t sit still watching this.

I'm going to tell people the enormous bruise on my leg is from mountain biking even though I tripped VERY awkwardly in my garden because you can get away with lies like that in Colorado.

I was recently talking to a publisher about a book idea that might work for several big IPs. When they mentioned Harry Potter I told them that was a no-go for me and they totally understood. This is not hard work. And it's not a hard choice. It was me saying "no" and the conversation moving on.

Oldest has officially been dropped off at college 🎉😭 amazing help from the Greek system who descended on cars and delivered everything to the rooms - made everything so much easier.

Just saw the Starfighter news - good to be out of the loop at times I guess 🤣

This cat does not want my daughter to go to college

This year, we presented to a packed audience at Star Wars Celebration—and recorded it. Featuring @chriskempshall.bsky.social, join us to explore the nature of "history," good research, and the messy space between fact and propaganda. 📺: youtu.be/nGYUYj6zYbI 🎧: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Working through Phase III of the High Republic & I highly recommend ALL the manga + @lydiakang.bsky.social I loved how your Insider Phase III short stories connected back to the Phase I stories & I the ending was SO GOOD (relieved 1 character in particular made it through alive :)

Moving my oldest into a university dorm that is almost 2,000 miles away in a few days and every now and then she points at me and says "No tears" and I shoot her back a response like this ...

It looks like Wolverine - the Ultimate Guide has finalized its cover! Plus they updated some of the internal pages. Coming in November!! www.dk.com/ca/book/9798...

I think the most “rare” thing I own Star Wars wise is this commencement program from tiny, tiny Crestline, Ohio - bonus point for Jack Harbaugh being the commencement speaker.

Moving stuff around in my office and came across these lovelies.

The author clique discourse has reminded me how many times I asked someone for an interview for my 365 Star Wars Women project - and the not so hidden part of that ask was me basically like “I think we should be friends too.” 🤣 Anyway, it worked!!

Every now and then the book Star Wars Timelines saves my sanity as a writer. Still crazy to me that I worked on that one!

I remembered that you can detach annoying quote reposts here a few seconds after I blocked someone. 😂 Anyway, if you're chiming in with opinions about choices I should make in my life (especially if we don't know each other) ... enjoy the block. Also, stop being weird.

I’m not sure I have ever wanted a company to fail as hard as Target this year. I cackled when I saw they have lost 12 billion. I was rooting for you, Target! And now I don’t miss you at all.

Feeling nostalgic about the summer I was a game tester at EA & I was one of the oldest in the room, one of two women, and since I wildly exaggerated my gaming life in my interview 👀 I was by far the most beginner gamer. Yet I was asked to apply for a lead position because I wrote good bug reports 😂

If you haven't downloaded the Andor zine yet - DO IT NOW! The Ghorman pet portrait demands to be seen!! www.starwars.com/news/andor-e...

Happy book birthday @kristinbaver.bsky.social and happy book day to all High Republic fans! I can't wait to get a look at this one!!

One of my favorite Broncos pre-season traditions is announcing the elevation of the opponent’s team 😂 (we are mile high here in Denver)

Glad this pre-season game is at night because it’s still 81 degrees 🫠

One of my best decisions this year - moving Hollywood the family leopard gecko into my office. Now when I need a writing break (aka every 5 minutes) I just stare at her and take pics.

Very cool new book in the academic field of Star Wars Studies by @sgellerhoff.bsky.social!

My husband just randomly walked into my office and handed me this. 💚

I'm convinced American medical expenses are determined by throwing darts at a board. Took my daughter for a TB test her college requires and it's $29 for the injection and then 2 days later $35 to read the results. Who came up with this system? My cat? And angry toddler?

My first article on ILM dot com went live this morning. And it's a big one! Celebrating 10 years of immersive stories. www.ilm.com/ilm-evolutio...

Surprise Friday morning migraine has been defeated 🎉

It's about 10 years since I thought "Hey, maybe I should write something!" I was 42. I had barely written anything in a LONG time. I had zero contacts. My writing now doesn't pay a ton of bills but the work, the friends, the high you get from filling the blank page - it's been quite something.

Bravo! @adamlancegarcia.bsky.social !!

And we're done! She loved it!! I continue to love it! A good time all around.

It finally happened. I had to look up slang one of my kid’s friends was using. 😂

After a couple of very chill weeks I have about 10 days until things start getting busy again. I need to remember to have more lazy summers.

Just got my first high school related email for my youngest (sports related so they kick off a bit early, but STILL...)

What a journey the High Republic has been for SW fans! & I’ll be excited for every new story for (hopefully) years to come. Thankful some of my Insider interviews made the short story collections & that I helped create the Character Encyclopedia (even though writing that outline almost killed me 😂)

Ridiculous thing to say, but that means this book would be set in 6 BBY which I find interesting because that year is not as full with other stories as other years on the timeline.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our Lucasfilm Publishing panel. We’ve got a lot great books & comics in store! If you’re at #SDCC, check out the Random House Worlds SW panel as 1pm, our THR signing at 2pm, and Doug Chiang’s panel at 10:30am on Saturday. Enjoy the con and #MTFBWY!
