Welp, my Mastodon instance apparently recently defederated from one where some of my mutuals were, and I can’t find any explanation as to why.

Breaking news: tree.

Decided to check if the graybies are old enough to determine whether they react to catnip. They are, and do. They have seen God today.

I made a new landing page for The Mystery of the Bitten Peach (my upcoming lesbian time-travel fantasy romance coming of age mystery from Neon Hemlock) www.ceciliatan.com/m...

Lmao no. Go away. #Astros

Katie's surgery to remove the soft tissue sarcoma on her nose is on Friday, so please send good vibes. I know this is the worst time to ask for donations, but shares are always appreciated.

Peeps, this is a fun little bundle if you like short stories of the rainbow persuasion! Only available at this ~40% discount for four more days... 💙📚🌈📚

with 3 weeks before "besieger" is officially out into the world, here are some of my favourite quotes without context 😌💅🏻🦇

Another question for my book cover reading challenge: Anyone know of adult or young adult books with pawprints on the covers? Literally the only one I’ve been able to find is The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic, which I know nothing about.

I guess we’re experiencing the fallout of funding cuts to the National Weather Service. In our tornado warning last week, the alerts kept giving very specific locations for the tornadic thunderstorm, and those locations were consistently 10-15 miles from where the storm was. Not hugely reassuring.

Go Venezuela! We’re all counting on you 🇻🇪

OK so this young trans gentleman was cut off by his parents, has been unable to get MIT to up his financial aid, has been working multiple jobs while maintaining an A- average AT MIT (no one does this), but he is gonna need to actually pay his tuition to graduate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth...

Last time I visited my best friend she took me to a tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant owned and staffed entirely by immigrants from southern Greece. I got spanakopita with cheese (delicious) and a coffee that was the best I have ever tasted in my life. I still think about that coffee a lot.

When you suggest a book to add to Goodreads, they ask you to link to a book information page that ISN’T on a bookseller site, except the book I want them to add literally only exists on bookseller sites.

There’s more cool stuff in Kobo Plus than I’d realized. Thousands of books for $8/month, including: - The Astreiant series - All of David R. Slayton’s books - Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series (plus more Discworld!) - A bunch of T. Kingfisher books And that’s not even getting into self-pub!

Cover reveal & crowdfunding announcement! I have written another book. Project Tasman is a sapphic dystopian book about a woman in a psychological experiment. I'm so excited to share this beautiful cover from @bmwillows.bsky.social Follow the BackerKit below, pls www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

In which I remind you all that Never Whistle at Night, the book that spent five gajillion years on the bestseller lists, has a volume two! www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Given how successful the workshop on writing small town and rural LGBTQ+ romance was, I'm thinking about running it again, but this time via some sort of online setup. If I did so, who'd be interested? Trying to gauge interest before I start developing it fully.

I’ve been trying for 14 months now. It’s been a really long walk to get here, and I’m still walking. If you can help or SHARE! I’d really appreciate it. Let’s close this down. Sharing helps so much, we have friends everywhere. 💕💸 #mutualaid gofund.me/6510f9483

My sister got some old home videos digitized, and there’s one of me playing tee ball. I started watching, and it only took about two minutes to be like, “Welp, no one in the ’90s noticed, but that small feral child extremely obviously has ADHD.” 😆

Daaang 😳

💜🐻 4 WEEKS UNTIL RELEASE 🐻💜 “I like the quiet, because it isn’t truly silent. Her breath disturbs the air. The faint shift of fabric when she’s readjusting herself in the bed. All these quiet ripples of stillness. They soothe me.” Links ⬇️ 📚💙

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

The sky is bright high blue, like there’s never been a storm in the world. You’d never know that yesterday evening we had to shove cats into carriers and then all hide in the bathroom so the tornado gods couldn’t see us.

I am so deeply irritated that #MLB DOUBLED the cost of their audio subscription since last year. My dad is nearly 80, loves listening to his games, and was not expecting a $60 charge instead of the $30 he signed up at. Ugh.

After a month of buildup, may I present... The Queersar not an award 2020! 10 (+1) great queer SFF novels. V good year for queer SFF; I found it *really* hard to narrow down to 10. But happy with what's on here & more convinced there *is* a gap in the award landscape for books like these.

I’m confused as to how The Weather Channel shows this, but the National Weather Service doesn’t even have us under a severe thunderstorm watch.

oh, this is gon be good! DEAR MOTHERSHIP the new poetry collection by @poetmarcuswicker.bsky.social dropping Sept. 8th...
