i don't think my nervous system can take playoff hockey anymore :(

As I go to bed, this is already 59% of the way to its sales goal!! It would be so cool to see it at 100% when I wake up, and I know the other 93 authors would be thrilled to hit our goal early too! Soooo maybe celebrate #IndieApril with a Big Lesbian Bundle of #IndieBooks?

i've said it before: the NHL will never, ever, ever let the Anaheim Ducks have a a #1 draft pick.

you say you got 'kicked in the teeth' over culture issues? man, i'd maybe have some sympathy for you if i, even once, saw you EVER PUT YOUR FUCKING GUARD UP. you got your teeth kicked in because you cowered so low that your face was at boot level.

oh god the naptermath

i really fucking wish i could get through a single goddamned day on Instagram without seeing someone looking for the '[adjective] girlies' to follow their account/use their patterns.

No matter where you are on your journey, whether you're socially transitioning, medically transitioning, both, or neither, whether you're binary or not, whether you have one gender or many or none at all...remember that I love you and you matter.

it's that time again. (my annual brush w our local rock star)

me n Schred. i'll leave you to determine who is who. hint: he's a bass player

this is a dance off. you're invited to post a dance.

Another week, another freelance booking client stalling on an invoice; meanwhile, my electric bill has TRIPLED over the last year. I’m @ $80/300 needed ASAP to pay this month’s; anyone who donates $50+ can get a custom song. I’ll record the next one within the week. 🎶🎸🥁🎤🎹 #HelpFolksLive2026

Sometimes I dream up a swamp and sink into it. The tadpoles know why. Swamps are good for sinking, for unmaking, which is to say, for finding that vital trailhead, down below the cattails and fairy shrimp, that leads to my becoming something new new new.

Fix your hearts or die.

guys, this is how you lose the time war

what a book party i'm having. these three gems arrived in the last two days & i almost don't know where to start, like the dog in the Devo song. @chanda.blacksky.app @stschrader1.bsky.social @andybeta.bsky.social

also, it's not like he's penniless and unhoused. or even without a career. foh "In March 2023, Franken guest-hosted The Daily Show after Trevor Noah's departure. In 2025, in his first acting role in 27 years, Franken plays a U.S. senator in the Netflix comedy mystery The Residence."

this is so neat! i got mine from Bookshop, supporting Libromobile in Santa Ana. if you haven't already, hit your local indie bookshop & get a copy.

Kirsten Gillibrand sucks, but she didn't destroy Al Franken's career. Al Franken destroyed Al Franken's career because he was a sexual harasser.

We must change how writers and artists are treated by society. We must stop the exploitation and theft of not only our creations but also our very lives by those with power and money. The Anthropic settlement was merely one battle. There will be many more to come. 3/

we don’t talk about missy elliott enough

a longarm quilting machine and home with room for sewing & other arts. that doesn't seem super bourgeois, i guess, but i guess i could splurge on a house cleaner? (and pay them what they're actually worth)

I love this analogy, and to extend it: it is nearly impossible to outweed the weeds that have taken over if your goal is to return to bluegrass. The thing you need to do is plant things that outcompete the crabgrass.

you should discover new music by accident. go to small shows where you haven't heard of most of the artists. dig in the crates of a record store and ask the person working there for a recommendation. ask your friends what's been in their ear recently.

caffeine is perfect when you're having trouble concentrating and would rather be having trouble concentrating while vibrating

whew, 2025 taxes done. also, lol, did anyone take advantage of the Trump Account for their child?

aw shucks

why the fuck would i even want this? yes, i read the entire article (i'm a subscriber [maybe not for long]). nothing it offers sounds the least bit appealing. they aren't even really skills! if you want cooking advice, check @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social or even ask me (rusty culinary school grad)

Two down, entirely too many to go. Hold them ALL accountable. The higher the office, the more it sends a message that it's not OK to sexually assault anyone.

"It is very likely that a freshly-hatched trans woman tried on a dress for the first time today and smiled. She hurt no one and felt great." - @charlieintheory.com

Let’s help this great artist get some grub

I'm sorry, I don't have any more SQUEEEESS left in me today. Can I have some of yours? 🪶 🐣

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Give yourself the permission to: 1. Admit fault/apologize 2. Be bad at something until you get better 3. Admit you don't know something so you can learn 4. Start over 5. Rest

i got a pair of overalls. i really should have done this sooner. it's all the fun of a dress but none of the dysphoria. & pockets for daaaaaaaays gender euphoria for $35? i'll take it. now i get the bonus of embellishing with patches & sashiko.

tapping the sign today's sea lion phrases are 'innocent until proven guilty' & 'why didn't she go to the police?'

Help Matthew Cover Emergency Surgery Costs If, and only if, it would NOT at all be a financial hardship, and you find what I do valuable ⤵️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth...

it's just never the right time to do the right thing
