Got bored, made one of *those* graphics. Link: a.co/d/9SVJyFD #queerwriters #historicalromance #wlwromance

Cover of a book: Tales of Timeless Romance: A Dragonblade Anthology, with seven author names. "Stephanie Cranford" is circled and an arrow points to it, saying, "OH MY GOD IT'S ME." Other arrows point to it, saying, "Novella: 'A Gift of Honor,'" "Set in the Lake District, 1818," and "Sporty Lesbian x crafty lesbian."

LOOK AT THAT FUCKING SHOT DIFF (as I type this, it's 27-10 in favor of the Wild). We are not halfway through the second period. #StephYellsAboutHockey

This is probably the scariest thing that happens in the book, tbh. #QueerWritersChat

"Huh," Jordan said.
“What?” Emma asked, when Jordan didn’t explain.
“I just got an email with an attachment from a seriously sketchy address.”
“How sketchy?”
“It’s, like, cdef7654321 at some domain I’ve never heard of. The registration information on it basically says it’s a place that specializes in throwaway email addresses.”
“What did they send you?” Emma asked.
“You think I clicked on a random attachment from a sketchy email address?”

I'm so excited about this! (Yes, I'm going to get an email about it.)

I think it's illegal to write a story about a superhero without a *little* bit of playing around with masks and identity.... #QueerWritersChat

Well, the superhero wears a literal one and a metaphorical one of pretending he doesn't have anxiety, so there's two there! The hockey player wears a literal one (kind of; the women's game has a full-face basket), so there's three in one book! #QueerWritersChat

A thing that made me happy this week was, in fact, KJ Charles's new book, All Of Us Murderers: books2read.com/u/mloE7q #LGBTQWriteAThon

I only know how to say this because a friend named her cat that

Stephanie Cranford @stephcranford.bsky.social · 2d

How much did the cat eat????

Stephanie Cranford @stephcranford.bsky.social · 2d

(yeah it smells awful imo; if you can get the prescription variety it's a little better)

Stephanie Cranford @stephcranford.bsky.social · 2d

Nasacort works for me, but I can't really say how well it works when I have a sinus infection, since I've mostly avoided them since I discovered steroid nose sprays.

Stephanie Cranford @stephcranford.bsky.social · 2d

..... Okay well that explains why I'm the only one in my family who can't tolerate Sudafed (it makes me paranoid and twitchy)

This is the worst hockey game and somehow the Wild are winning 5-0???? #StephYellsAboutHockey

Stephanie Cranford @stephcranford.bsky.social · 2d

And if you think the refs have been missing penalties on the Wild only, fuck that. They have missed about six calls when the Blues have tried to injure Buium. #StephYellsAboutHockey

Stephanie Cranford @stephcranford.bsky.social · 2d

HARTZY AGAIN!!! Oh man the Wild are. Well. #StephYellsAboutHockey

Stephanie Cranford @stephcranford.bsky.social · 2d

I'm mad because the Wild are winning the wrong way, but oh man, Binnington is going to have the shittiest save percentage to start the session, and that's gratifying #SrephYellsAboutHockey
