My toxic trait is that I buy ingredients but don’t print the recipe out so I never remember what I was planning to make.

UPDATE TODAY HE USED THEM FOR THEIR ACTUAL PURPOSE AND I AM SO PROUD (and he got a special treat for his trouble).

We already know what makes our communities safer, and it's not troops on our streets. It's giving people accessible housing, food, employment, health care, and education opportunities.

every comics guy congratulating Mamdani on his all-female transition team better bring that same energy to your projects over the next four years, too

This was such a lovely wholesome read. Teared up multiple times from the kindness and acceptance and healing the characters experienced. Dan in Green Gables by Rey Terciero (Rex Ogle).

This morning he walked directly to the bells, rang them, and looked at me expectantly. I have created a monster. An extremely adorable monster.

A reminder that Prop 50 is both: CONTINGENT, so if other electoral nonsense doesn't happen then neither does this redistricting, And TEMPORARY, it goes away if other redistricting goes away.

I started training my puppy on how to use the potty bells tonight by giving him a treat for ringing them and wow did he catch on quick to the idea of “SERVE ME CHEESE ON DEMAND HOOMAN” 🤣

I'm still thinking up a good logline pitch for THE PHOTONIC EFFECT that does NOT mention Star Trek or Mass Effect, but if you like those two things and my novels, you'll probably want to request an eARC on Netgalley (available now!) www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

I’ve been wanting reread Redwall but am worried it’ll make me actually miss gluten.

Just finished drafting a new young middle grade sci fi novel! 🎉🚀✨ It is messy but also very silly and I love it. And now, hot chocolate.

[Exit Ghost.]

I made some gluten-free apple cider donuts but they mostly taste like cinnamon donuts but the moral of the story is that I have donuts.

In case you missed this: In New Braunfels ISD last week, parents, students, teachers, and community members came together to speak up against the book banners who got the district’s high school & middle school libraries closed. And they forced to board to reverse its decision.

Me too, Anya. Me too.

I am reminded of an excellent beef stew I made a couple months ago because I just found some of it in the freezer 👏🏼 Good 👏🏼 Job 👏🏼 Past 👏🏼 Callie 👏🏼

Timeline cleanse: the cutest thing I will ever teach Endor.

The algorithm thinks I have a human baby but here is my fur baby with his new toy

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Who robbed the Louvre? Correct answers only.

My phenomenal agent is doing a giveaway for my debut, THE HUNT FOR THE HOLLOWER! Details below!

BREAKING: An appeals court denied the Trump administration's latest effort to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area. This ruling is more confirmation that President Trump's attempts to send troops into our communities are unjustified and cannot continue.

My puppy is systemically carrying all of his toys out of his play pen and into my study and it’s gonna be a real heartbreaker for both of us when I have to put them back.

Voting by mail is the best, actually.

Lost my longhand draft

Do it for exposure

Yes, this matters even in states like mine where there's a statewide Freedom to Read Act or similar. School board members who insist on "oversight" of what books educators put in school/class libraries & who champion "parental rights to protect their children's innocence" can still do serious damage

People often ask me what I want readers to take away from my books. I want them to ask themselves a question: How can I use my power and privilege for a purpose? We each have varying privilege & power. But no matter what the fascists want you to feel, you DO have power & I urge you to use it.

CALIFORNIANS!!!! You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.) Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing. 1/

It’s true and also I am so so grateful for good and supportive and absolutely amazing wonderful friends.

This email made my day! If a writer did something you like, let them know! The positive response to my Ambush Bug story has been SO fun to see, but while writing I really was trying to honor the spirit of Ambush Bug creator Keith Giffen.

I LOVE these DC Holiday Specials because they are fun reads! And this one is going to get me into the spirit of Halloween. @danielwarrenart.bsky.social @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social @radchenka.bsky.social @thesupercallie.bsky.social Images courtesy of DC Infinite Ultra.

Me when my puppy begs for a treat

Endor, when I’m in his playpen with him: 🎶 Chewing on my chew stick, chewing on my chew stick, chomp chomp chomp 🎶 Endor when I am the same distance away but outside the play pen: MOTHER I CAN NOT POSSIBLY CHEW FOR THE WORLD HAS LOST ALL COLOR

Removing To Kill a Mockingbird and The House on Mango Street from Texas classrooms does not protect Texas kids. The Texas GOP and Governor Abbott need to answer for this. Shameful. www.fox7austin.com/news/leander...

Trans kids, Many of you won’t read this, because you don’t know you’re trans yet. You just think you’re wrong or broken. You’re not. You’re beautiful and wonderful. You just don’t fit into the box everyone expects you to. Embrace yourself first, and you’ll find your place. #Letters4TransKids

ADHD is like: I have to take my pill. I’m going to keep repeating it so I don’t forget before I get to the kitchen. Pill. Pill. Pill. Pill Nye the Science Guy. Science rules. Inertia is a property of matter. What’s Bill Nye up to these days? Or the guy who played Beakman? Why am I in the kitchen?

Copies of Zatannic Panic, DC’s Halloween anthology, are here! I pitched a zany bonkers Ambush Bug story and still can’t believe my editor let me write this. @meganhuang.bsky.social absolutely crushed the art and brought everything to life!
