Bonbon wants you to check out my fantasy reading list. www.dmbonanno.com

This is cookie, the foodie cat, watching my daughter make toast, begging for a taste of butter.

It’s my birthday today! To help me enjoy this lovely day, will you post garden and pet photos please? :) Thank you!

Whatever you’ve accomplished today, Cookie is proud of you.

A break from the dark and windy days of early spring: these cats are enjoying an amazing afternoon of sunshine and gentle breezes. We’re hoping for a lot more, soon.

Good morning! New day, new week. I hope you make it great.

Princess Bonnebelle demands the red dot be brought forth.

Breaking News: An unvaccinated child died of measles in Texas, officials said, the first known death from an outbreak that began in January.

Elon Musk wants the power to cut off programs that pay for your grandma's nursing home stay. There's nothing "efficient" about ripping health care away from millions. www.nytimes.com/.../musk-fed...

Fantastic news! My collection *Sunflowers in the Snow* made the short list for the British Science Fiction Association award! www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

PS @drunemeton.bsky.social: the writers (cis, trans, and nonbinary) in this pack help understand and deconstruct misogynist problems, and their _intersectional_ feminist journalism, fiction, TV scripts, screenplays, media criticism, legal analysis (&more) often offers solutions.

I finally have proof that cats are magical.

She thinks she’s hiding… (Yes this was a supervised activity)

Bonnebelle wishes you a wonderful Wednesday

If you like horror and haven’t read Amanda’s work, consider this a sign.

I'm playing novel teeter-totter this week - my word count has not changed, but readers can see my story now - there's description, and the characters all have clothes now (haha they did before but did I know what they were? Nooooo.)

How’s everyone doing today? I’m wishing I was still at WFC. Had a great time last week!

I love writing conventions for many reasons, one of which is meeting people whose text I read —their stories, their social media posts, writing community posts, etc. Even when it is just listening to their wonderful voices, it feels magical. (Yes, I know, thank you science.)

in 90 MINUTES I'm going to be moderating a panel abt Quiet Spec Fic w/the extraordinary @jenniferhudak.bsky.social , @jennahanchey.bsky.social , and P.H. Low! Come chat with us at @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social ! flights-of-foundry.org/program-3/

Listening to the wonderful panel on Hopeful and Optimistic Narratives, with Caroline Allen, Merc Fenn Wolfmoor, Deva Fagan, and Ng Yi-Sheng at the Flights of Foundry online conference. So inspiring. #hopeful #sciencefiction #hope @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social

My story is up at @castofwonders.org for Banned Books Week, with a lovely narration by Katrin Kania. As an archivist, this story is close to my heart. I think a lot about the silences in the archives. www.castofwonders.org/2024/09/cast...

@nassos.bsky.social enjoyed your chill and chat session today. :) thanks for making time for us!

Also: don't try to book me on a DISABILITY MATTERS panel if your con DGAF about basic accessibility.

I do not love it when conventions pretend there is nothing they can do about COVID. I do not love it at all.

Hey conventions, if you're trying *at all* to be inclusive, remember disabled/immunocompromised people are a big % of your audience and deserve accommodations. Or just own it and say you don't care about these folks, and don't pretend you're inclusive. Have a COVID policy. Please. Or we can't go.

Do you like feel-good, heartwarming short stories? Have I got a book for you. Sunflowers in the Snow is a collection of fantasy stories that explore friendship and family bonds through sentient houses, magical taverns, secret gardens, and more! dmbonanno.com/books-for-pu...

Good Morning! It’s a beautiful day to revise a story. Have to play with Cookie first.

Happy Weekend 💙

Bonnie is also having a good morning but she’s trying to kill chameleon. She hopes you slay today.

Cookie is having a good morning. We hope you are, too.

hey we need more people to follow here, BLUE. if you're a writer/editor/zine/etc. in the SFFH genre pls reply with an emoji and we'll follow you. BONUS POINTS for using super obscure emojis. (pls repost if you want to help us spread the word OR if you have a skeleton inside you thx)

I have approval from management regarding my writing desk relocation. 🐾

Cookie says good morning (Alt text: grey kitty looking up from a blue kitty tunnel; bright eyed and smiling)

My husband’s hand last night- which won him the round. Technically that means I won. 😆

Up late last night, reviewing what I’ve already written before I head into the final gauntlet of this novella. (Pic: Furry baby aka reading buddy in her window perch, illuminated with gentle lamplight from below)
