If the world only gets to learn one thing about me, let it be a whole truth and nothing but the truth: I GO HAM AT SILENT AUCTIONS Is it a problem? Maybe. But I got an entire basket of goodies AND night at a fancy hotel in Iowa City. WORTH IT. #goredqc #goredforwomen

Found our dealership’s newest mascot! Literally squealed with excitement when I saw him. Between the froggie, and the corn fields being harvested leaving groups of deer in pastures… it’s been an okay day. #frog #depression #hazbinhotel

I forgot about Israel. HOW could I forget about him? MM. damn. Reversing the Gaze HARD right now. #dragulatitans

Besides it being the most wonderful time of the year, that also means Dragula is back! Yatta! #DragulaTitans #Drag

Speculative True Crime. That’s it. Finally.

This new rug is everything I wanted and more!

We’re watching #MarvelZombies, and I’m sitting here crying because of the *chef kiss* father/daughter dynamics. #DaddyGaurdianAndHisGirls

My partner is taking me on a surprise destination trip for my 40th next week. I keep trying to get clues from him. Him: for someone who likes surprises, you sure are asking a lot of questions. Me: I’m a true crime addict. I’m looking for clues.

Me, watching House of 1000 corpses: See, if we make our front yard look like THEIRS, we wouldn’t have ANYONE coming up to the door. Him: Hospitality, by Rob Zombie.

"But they're your family!" Yep. They are. The issues I have with them are MORAL issues. AS IN, I seem to have them and they don't. I wouldn't take that from friends, I'm sure as hell not taking it from family. If you don't see fellow humans as HUMANS and just as 'illegal,' you can kindly FUCK OFF

My partner: *says something* My brain: Oh, that's cool. [Don't say it don't say it don't say] Did you know Tesla was terrified of pearls and that might have been one reason why he didn't like women? Him: ... random thoughts, with Vee. Me: 🤷‍♀️

Today, the lock picking kit I bought weeks ago finally arrived! Yesterday, my partner locked himself out & I had to run an hour round-trip to let him back in. YESTERDAY. *le sigh* But at least my future skills will be useful! (Not for burgling. No burgling. I do not burgle.)

MFW I hear a cop that’s been in the force for decades says he’s never heard of ‘sundown towns’

Also, all it would take is RDJ and/or the rest of the Avengers to say ‘nooooope’ and boycott until Disney/ABC back down. @markruffalo.bsky.social would probably be down. Plenty of other studios. Values, morals, and principles are worth more than money.

… for the record, my wife and I call each other ‘my love’ in messages all the time. 🤷‍♀️

I worked at a dog daycare during college. ‘04-‘08. There was a golden named Mika. His mom worked at the University. He would “sing” to me when he came in. She said he didn’t it for anyone else. I cried when I told him goodbye for the last time. I think about him a lot. RIP, Mika (I can only assume)

Anyone else get a comment on a story, and you wonder what chapter they’re reading, then you go to see and end up spending the next three hours reading YOUR OWN STORY? Because… uh… I just did.

i fucking hate guns

*local pizza chain delivery driver shows up* Us: think you have the wrong house, bud. Him: oh man! I was excited thinking it was for you! Everyone knows your house! Me: is it the rainbows and the dragon? Him: yep you’re known as the Gay Dragon house Me: the dragon isn’t gay, but that works for us.

Newest note in my phone, jic. #politics #americanhellscape #abolishice

Guys. They weaponized flyovers. Against #SA survivors. To silence their words out. I will never EVER get over this. #believewomen

Our cat, Linus Torvalds Einstein, acted as a supervisor during our card game tonight. We feel he did a so-so job. Kept trying to eat the pen. And attack the cards. Really, he was rather lackluster as a supervisor and it will be noted in his performance review.

Me, to SO: Us midwestern girls are weird, KNOW we’re weird, & don’t know how to hide it. That’s what leads to events like today, where a couple told me they loved my bumper stickers & we had a conversation about Mothman & visiting Point Pleasant. That’s Midwest, man. #Iowanice #thisisaboutkatemartin

Did I spend four hours reading a story I posted more than five years ago? Yep. I read my own stuff. And I love it. Which is one of the MAIN reasons authors do what we do: We discover in our brain the stories we always wanted to find, but never could, therefore we decide to write it ourselves.

We’ve been in this house for 11 years now; and the first tree we planted 8 years ago is finally giving off shade! Yes! Now it’s little brother on the other side needs to grow big and strong! #trees #homeowner (ignore the pile of weeds. It’s a WIP)

The fact that my niece shazam’md my roadtrip playlist 85% of the time is a badge of honor I will wear proudly. #kidfree #betterasanaunt #becauseiamnotbroke #soyougetspoiled ‘but she’s 24’ #didistutter

Me, tipsy AF and yelling for no reason: “he wasn’t even on ROAD RULES. He was in REAL WORLD. he could have traveled the country, sky diving and bungee jumping, but he’d rather just, like, live?!? What an absolutely smelly chode. GO away, SEAN. YOU DONT EVEN GO HERE

New shirt! #abolishice @raygunsite.com

... any one else calling into the case at 1PM where a judge decides if the coup happening in the MPD is legal or not, or is it just me? Asking for myself.

Reupping my story here! You want #queer representation? I GOT YOU, BOO! #queerpit #poly #bipoc #spec #mythology

**shrieks into the void** How can someone who grew up in the same GOTDAMN household as I did, come out so unbelievably UNABLE to take care of themselves!? I'm just joshing. It's because my parents enabled it. WHICH JUST MAKES ME EVEN MORE ANGRY Ugh. UGH.

“What do you mean you have safety issue fears?” *blinks in queer* *blinks in uterus-owner* *blinks in native american* *blinks in ehlers-danlos* *blinks in Audhd* … yeah, no idea where that anxiety for the general world around me comes from. Total mystery.

“Oh, I’d love to go for drinks, but the little bird in my app says I need to wind down for bed, so….”

Question: I've been ordained since 2007, and have performed two weddings, with more on the way. Do I put Reverend before my name? AM I NOW 'REVEREND VEE HAACKE?!?' This is made hilarious as my new horror novel involves a shady AF religion... 🤷‍♀️

Joy. I’ve got cluster headaches to look forward to next week. JOY. #clusterheadaches #weather

Had to switch up my weeding game when I discovered we had friends in the vines. They’re staying, as are the weeds, until they emerge as butterflies. Our yard is full of monarchs and bumblebees. It’s great. #nature #butterflies

Why TF is there a male announcer in this #WNBA halftime?? This seems like a #DEI hire and I will not stand for it!! 🤣

If you, like me, are disgusted with the Smithsonian and it's decision to allow Trump to rewrite history, please join me in sending them an email! Let them know this is not okay! [email protected] #smithsonian

Worst year for me so far? Other than my niece being born, that’d be the international coughing competition that was 2020. Fuck that whole year. #covid #grief #loss #trauma

#bipan #alwaysreadytothrowhands

And this is why I will NEVER be okay with AI slop. BURGERS? At Chipotle?!? GTFOH #AI #slop

That was it. How? HOW does he come back from this?!? Lololol #southpark THE #trump #PSA I AM DEAD.

South Park last night: Trump is suing thr entire city of South Park REALITY TODAY: Trump is suing the entirety of NYC
