I've been reincarnated as an Orc of Mordor, it seems.

I've officially been up + awake for an hour.This is a win. No-migraine streak broken. Woke up, thought it wasn't too bad, just not great. In uncharacteristic laziness (Show up if I can move) decided working double time to get everything done in 1/2 shift wasn't worth it.Called in.Hour later?Yeaaah.

Seeing people gathering their wolfiess and walking in parades today....Nanu would be so pleased to see people finally formally celebrating him and his cousins. Clearly it's all about them! Happy save a snake day! + Happy Chaharshanbe Suri to those jumping 🔥May the past year's ills stay behind!

American news is treating Cuba 🇨🇺’s blackout like a camping trip while Cubans are preparing body bags. Incubators, water treatment plants, life support machines, they’re all off. This is another 🇺🇸 massacre of innocent people.

I just finished. Full review later tonight #booksky However. I'm not the sort who devours series even when I have all titles available. I made it about a week before I caved and jumped into the last. It has been a long time since a world drew me in so hard. @soundingline.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

#AwesomeCharacters #flourish Going on personality, not role in actual story because that might get spoilerish. Victim- Amaya. I feel like she could make a lot of enemies by standing in their way. (1/3)

#AwesomeCharacters skipping to today's because, timely Let's get this out of the way. Amaya and Reece will fight anyone that cheesecake is pie. But if they HAVE to go more traditional. Amaya- anything with chocolate, but her mom made a pistachio crust that she's always nostalgic for. (1/6)

You know,I've gotten used to bot comments. This one takes the cake. if it's not a bot,have I ever claimed to be a good writer or relevant? Yeah my life may be bleak. But I'm not the one wasting my time writing vile things to others.You don't have to click. If you're tired of updates,write your own.

🤣🤣🤣 "Men of the world, if you want to make an impression on a woman, forget playing knight and shining armor to her. Try doing it for her dog. Panties will drop." I sense no lie.

Keeping me entertained for the first part of the work shift. taking advantage of the mood if waking up to white blanketing this morning. #booksky #mystery #maine #dog #searchdog

😂😂😂 My platonic soulmate is supposed to be the rational 1. Me:"There's a 📖 with a wolfhound. Prequel.They say read book 1 first.Combined less than 7 hours listening.Only $2 but.." Him:"GET!" "Does that change if I say poodle is focus forward on?" "I choose to believe wolfie returns!" #booksky

#AwesomeCharacters Amaya is imaginative in practical ways. Reece as well. They're trained and inclined to think through all possibilities and work out options before a crisis hits. Their lives had depended on it figuratively or literally more than once. (1/6)

#AwesomeCharacters con catchup #flourish Most of my characters are one of these at least in certain matters. If it's about Zar/loved ones Amaya will go to the end of the world and back and fly to the moon. She will also fight tooth or nail for what she sees is justice/equality in her field. (1/5)

Slowly goin to catch up with the #awesomecharacters prompts because they bring me happiness and the world is burning. Ilan would probably give me eyes/poking asking me why I'm not getting to smut. Not sure if he'd punch me for what I put Reece through or hug me for having him not die before. (1/4)

#booksky I try to write substantive reviews for every book I read.I don't do booktok/booktube.I hope it helps authors a smidge and if I didn't it'd feel more audacious to ever request from #netgalley. Being able to listen to audiobooks for large parts of work shift = abnormal yearly total.(1/2)

I've been vocal in my love for cameo!elf Erestor.Ya' know, all these years I headcanoned that he was on the council not just because of distant connection to Elrond but because he was there during the formation of Rivendell. Now pondering possibility those were his formative years. Pros/Cons (1/3)

Why did I check news before bed? Why? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

One of these days I'll post the right edit first 😓 #WIPSnips

I don't know if I've ever scrapped one, but there have been more than one time a character's entire purpose or role has changed. It's more common that a side character will elbow themselves to the front (calling Reece) or I'll drop side-plots I'd originally planned.

Just trying to keep facts straight. Not looking to pardon -anyone- .There's no excuse for it. They're all guilty. Has it been confirmed it was the US or Israel that struck the Minab school? It would be in their playbook, yes. It's also in the IRGC's (Flight PS752). They find martyrs useful.

Yesterday's #AwesomeCharacters gets to the core of something I've mentioned a lot about him. Ilan has no scars post age 22 approx. One of the biggest challenges in creating the Enhancement program was figuring out how to expedite healing otherwise humans can't handle it. Me darling Reece...(1/5)

catching up on #AwesomeCharacters While many of my characters are cinnamon rolls who are amore about trying to uplift people in this universe, even the most likeable person generally can tick at least someone off. So least to more interesting: Callen and Leila lovingly annoy each other (1/ 5)

Sending thought of love and hope out to @dr3adlady.bsky.social . May there be some light even though there are still long shadows.

Happy Birthday Aragorn 👑 #Tolkien #art

My southeast asian inspired ocs 🥭

last night, my dear friends lost everything in a devastating apartment fire. among all their memories, belongings, necessities, they also lost their two precious cats, felix & paisley. please consider donating to help these two beloved, kind people rebuild their life : gofund.me/cb718263b

Zarek would leave, unless he was with Syd and Keegs. In which case they've scoped the place out for days and warned him it would be a wait and assured him (true or not) it would be worth it. Jotham would whisper, asking if the chef of the night needed some backup.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Heavy heart. Lots of conflicting feelings about the world stage today. I just want people to be safe. to have a voice. To live their lives. to not be at the whim of the greed of those in power.

Goin' to the kids today for #WIPSnips

Victoria Derbyshire allowing Zia Yusuf to tie himself in absolute knots by asking him simple questions about Reform policy. A masterclass in quality journalism.

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

I don't like killing characters just for a shock.I look at overall impact. I try for it not to be JUST for the sake of its impact of another character.Ask, is there another way this character will go a direction I could do?Is it the realistic choice?When unavoidable it's -usually- a side character.

Netflix won't counter Ellison's offer. Ladies and gentleman, the full right wing power grab is here and will now be beamed into every home on CBS, CNN, HBO, movies from Warner and Paramount. about.netflix.com/en/news/netf...

Why not? Didn't think I'd have this work but turns out I had a few. Chose an early one. #WIPSnips

Starting with the kids today. Zarek- Would absolutely spend half his cash trying to win something for Keegs. Wouldn't put up a fight to go on a carousel at all for snuggling opportunities. Would probably love coasters but post story a drop ride and maybe some dark ones potentially trigger anxiety
