There's a fire extinguisher in the roadside assistance kit. I also have foam tape, an ace bandage, a lint roller, and two kinds of sunscreen. Just nothing for pain relief 😜
In the most in-character news I could possibly have: my car contains a sequin jacket, an electric blanket, an emergency pair of Spanx, and a pair of tap shoes. But not a first aid kit. 🤣
To an author concerned about working with the publishers of the @antifalit.bsky.social Journal in the wake to Trump's declaration that Antifa is a terrorist org.:

The bad news is that my 4.5-5 hour drive took almost 7 hours today. The good news is that a 9-inning ballgame went FIFTEEN innings and was with me for *five* of those hours.

Me: if my team wins the 1:pm game (I'm watching the tournament stream) they play again at 7 so I will go get my kid from school early so we can get to the venue (in Oregon) in time. My team: *is getting their tail feathers handed to them*

Whatever your faith tradition, regardless of whether you use the word "prayer" in your practice, please put your best energy and intention into the world directed toward Dolly. Please.
I don't know ball, but Cal Raleigh did a thing a couple of innings ago where he scooted super close to the batter and then the pitcher threw suuuuper wide in the other direction and it was *so sneaky* that I squealed in delight. That was fun
Swiftie shout-out: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl uses the "clean"/radio versions of the songs. In case anyone is on the fence about taking your littles: it's entirely PG!
So, in the grand tradition of TS albums, there's a perfect piece of music for books I've worked on. If you like the vibes of CANCELLED, you'll like the FEMMES FATALE books. I'm probably going to have to do a giveaway....
My last weighted heating pad burst into flames while across my ankles. Probably a wire getting kinked by the weight badly/often enough to foul the coating.... But now I am leery of anything that has adequate weight and also heats up. 🤪
