Me: “The temperature outside is nice right now. I should open my windows for some fresh air!” A nearby skunk:

my current needs are: $100 to get home and for food $710 for rent $95 for utilities (my roommates were covering for me for a while, but they really can't do it anymore- i hate that i put them in that position 💔) $430 (literally the final stretch) to pay for radiation therapy) that's $1335 🥹

After Houston removed an LGBTQ+ Pride crosswalk in Montrose, residents responded in color. “It’s something that people out there need,” artist Nicky Davis said. “They need to know that the community of Houston accepts everyone.” ✍🏻 Gwen Howerton bit.ly/43Nw7JX

Sometimes when I’m having trouble writing a scene, and there are no clearly identifiable plot issues to fix, I eventually figure out it’s because I’m either telling something that needs to be shown or showing something that needs to be told.

Momentum today!! Baseball is over now, but my dark hard slog into the fall continues! Baseball brought me joy and light, getting back to work would help so much more! Please help by giving or sharing with your friends🙏 You know people who can help! It would mean a lot to me ❤️⚾️ gofund.me/064ab8f2f

Noooo, kitty, that’s voter fraud! You’re not eligible!

My package of ramen had two seasoning packets inside. Am I the chosen one?

I should have written a story with a cat main character years ago, TBH #WIP #FirstDraftFall

I have tried a lot of fountain pens (all cheap, granted, because I am poor) and a lot of inks, and nothing has worked better than a good old Platinum Preppy F/03 inked with Waterman Black or Tender Purple. Writes like silk every time.

Once upon a pandemic, I wrote a butter-filled book about a bandit, a princess, and feral pegasi. Someone book-tok-ed it, and all of a sudden my silly little book got reeeeeal popular. I am pleased to announce the sequel to said silly pegasus book: THE DRAGONSCALE COMB www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZCN6XM5

📚 🧡 MY BIGGEST DREAM COME TRUE 📚 🧡 My debut novel, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE, will be out in 2027!

Here we go!! Revealing the new cover for 'Crossings' - art by krma and text design by Christina P :) I'm thrilled with both! This cover is what I had in mind for the book way back when I first released it 10 years ago - it just took me a while to reach this moment :)

I love that Bluesky has become The Baseball Place. I remember when there were very few of us!

GoFundMe for Marta, the woman I filmed being forcefully detained in SLC airport. She is a mother of four and has a work permit legal through 2029. She and her sister were given no reason for her arrest, no due process. She needs funds to help defend herself.

Anyone know of any astoundingly good middle grade fantasy that has come out in the last three or so years? No series that began before 2022 or so, please.

This Must-Have Monday I have SEVENTEEN new releases to ft! Incl 🌫️ a return to the Nameless Land with @kateelliottsff.bsky.social! 👾 a hunt for shapeshifting aliens by @bogiperson.bsky.social! 🌆 Gargoyle urban fantasy from @cemurphy.bsky.social!

Explaining to my kitty why I love her so much, and smallness and evil are high on the list. Where else are you going to get this sort of concentrated badness in a tiny thing that also squeaks and is fluffy?

This is likely true for many writers, but varies by person. For me, the only sustainable drafting system I’ve found is “big bursts with months of rest between.” My ability to focus is all-or-nothing, so the only way I’ve ever finished a longform story was by writing it NaNo style. #WritingCommunity

People on here will post anything. 'Baseball games have 9 innings.' No they don’t. That isn’t true.

Oof. That 3-0 pitch was the one. #BlueJays

I have obtained a stress headache and I DON’T EVEN GO HERE #BlueJays

Do the #BlueJays like... not have any other pitchers? At all?

If the #BlueJays don’t win this one, it will surely be one of the most agonizing World Series losses ever. There’s about a dozen so-close plays (including the HP umpire spontaneously losing his ever-loving mind earlier in the series) that have prevented them from already celebrating.

Okay, Vladdy. You have a chance to do probably the coolest thing you’ll ever do in your entire life. #BlueJays

Nooooooo

So... after what happened at the border today, Clover and I are essentially homeless. I've got no choice but to change my GoFundMe while we look for housing. Anything you can spare will help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-autum...

Trey Yesavage, who famously was pitching to his fellow third graders at recess in Miss Reynolds's class just five months ago, is entering to pitch in Game 7 of the World Series

Don’t forget to set your clocks aside tonight. Forget them in the back of the sock drawer. Box them unlabeled in the attic for ten unopened years. Hit snooze and bury them twelve feet deep in the backyard.

Springer says “Oh pitchers can throw at hitters but not the other way around? Bet.” #BlueJays

#Bookvember Day 1: Hey, I’m Kila ... and this is actually a hard question to answer, because reading and writing have always been natural as breathing to me. I learned to read at 3 or 4, started writing at 5, and could never imagine a version of me that didn’t do both. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I keep trying to coax her inside for bed or couch cuddles, but no luck so far. Hammock cuddles it is.

The Cortylorhynchus considers my problems, nods sagely, and says, "have you tried basking in the sun about it? While being as spherical as possible?"

#QueerPrompts November 1: Hi, I’m Kila! Queer, ND, disabled rural redneck cat lady. Bell, the main character of my cozy fantasy WIP, is a cat. With the help of her human familiar, a sweet, naive, buff lesbian witch, Bell must unravel the hauntings that have unleashed monsters made of death magic.

With Springer on deck. OUCH. #BlueJays

It would be fun for the #BlueJays to do another walk-off World-Series-winning home run. Just saying.
