No change so far. Guessing it will take a while. *sigh* I want instant fix.

Well, that's a choice. Gaithersburg Book Festival list of authors shows "SciFi" and "Mystery/Thriller" for authors who write that....and just "Fiction" for authors who write Romance. THEY ARE ALL FICTION. (They do mention Romance in the author bio, at least.)

🤮 but also how much will they spend of taxpayer dollars (federal, if they declare it interstate) to change out signs, etc. Waste. Of. Money.

Just started. We'll see how it goes.

Running very behind today a jdgaf. That's how I know....

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The average American can't afford to take a vacation, but we just paid for him to do it? Fuck them all.

Museums and archives are NOT neutral entities. They can play the same role in obfuscating history as they can in shining a light on it.

He hasn't tried SHIT.

These are addictive.

Still laughing, because yeah. 🤣🤣🤣

DO NOT WANT.

I saw someone yesterday call current events in the US as Jim Crow 2.0. Reader, they're not wrong. I spent all night with high anxiety wondering when we'd get to the point where they stopped allowing Black people to own property. I'm documenting this here because sooner or later....

southern state governments are banning black congressional representation and installing statues of men who waged a war to continue the enslavement of black people in public parks

Psych NP is gonna up my depression meds to try to get me out of this hole I'm stuck in. Really hoping it helps because the inside of my brain is not great right now and it's exhausting.

These are the yarns I was thinking....:)

My DC people: have you seen this cat wtop.com/local/2026/0...

Trying to decide what to do for the auction. The buy it now photos were A LOT and I don't have spoons for that this year. So.... ...Crochet infinity scarves? Crochet cross-body water bottle holder?

Grumpy.

Let's call this "why not Wednesday?" WHY NOT do some promo for my decade+ old books? WHY NOT share that I've been writing them longer than AI has been thieving? These are MY WORDS, straight outta my brain, edited by real people. WHY NOT, in case you're interested in not-dark kinky romances. :)

Hey! I’ve got a new website! meganframpton.com (Designed by @ruthnineke.co, who I met here! She did a fantastic job).

“Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on," Rep. Pearson said. Fascist reprisals for protesting.

Hmmmm, no email for me, but maybe I only *thought* I signed up. Entirely possible, because WHAT BRAIN?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yes, I know, I'm an idiot.

Also, sent my sis flowers to work today to celebrate her being done with treatment, and the arrangement they sent was NOTHING like what I ordered. Completely different colors and vibes. She said they were beautiful, but red, white, and yellow is not the same as hot pink, purple and orange. 😡

Chronicling? That was supposed to be #chronicpain

They are called entitlements because you are *entitled* to the money you paid over the years towards Social Security and Medicare. Unlike the over $38 billion Elon Musk slopped up from the government trough over the past two decades in contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits. #IgnorantSmucks

Did we ALL have that sleepless pain and/or anxiety night last night? Because my TL is full of people saying the same thing.... #chronicling #anxiety

Here’s that thing I’ve been working on.

Tapping the sign yet again.

FUCK NO, Google/Fitbit. You do not get any of my medical info.

Bruce Summersteen and the F Street Band

My sister rang the bell today! Surgery done, radiation done. 💗 She sent me video, and I'm all teary-eyed.

Fish sticks* for lunch today because I'm a grownup and I do what I want. With a side salad. *been years...surprisingly tasty, Mrs. Pauls.

Reader magnet? Really?? I agree with you. How about just write a story you the author would love to read. That's all you can control.

Rando on Threads: “I’m attempting to write a reader magnet.” Me: If you’re attempting to write a reader magnet, you will fail. Attempt to write an actual story with a plot and characters that speak to you.“

Made myself half a batch of knorr's spinach dip yesterday. Turns out for one person, that's A LOT. I had half a pouch left so I dumped it all in. Turns out it was mostly the salty part! I need to put the dip mix in a flat container and divide it into 4 or maybe 6, like I'm cutting drugs, LOL.

I used to be the second kind, but as I get older, my stomach has fought back. I'm somewhere between those points now.

can not wait until Claude enters its Kit Rocha phase by either trying to fuck a dragon or deciding tech bros are the enemy. Either would be a good time!!!
