as a thirty year old who draws weird shit and does whatever she wants i have some advice to ppl who gotta hear it. it's literally impossible to please everyone. it's literally impossible to create and engage with things that won't bother *somebody*.

When I started writing Fated Mates of the Drakoan Season 2, it really didn't occur to me that it was weird to write an MF and an MM romance in the same series.
Until someone brought it up.
Then again, my whole shtick is about normalizing all experiences, so it works for me.

I just spent an hour posting a review to vent my frustration with a book I've been trying to finish for a while now. I ended up giving up only a few pages before the end.
It wasn't worth my sanity.
Holy crap.

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

I love how Jess and Davin have to navigate the implications of fated mates together; they are a great match. There is wonderful adventure and the supporting cast are vibrant characters. I can't wait to read more of their stories.

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

As an author, I used to not talk politics... then I realized my entire first series was just me bashing on conservative politics and policies and most of my books have queer characters in them so fuck it.
I figure my readers probably feels the same as me, so who am I trying to not scare away?

Sometimes I just want an Ellio’s pizza. Man I haven’t had one of those in a while…
But I’m just as likely to eat Parmesan crusted salmon and tortellini with spinach in a garlic cream sauce (I shouldn’t because garlic doesn’t agree with me but it was good).
I’m a “however I can feed myself type”.

I never get why some people have such an attitude about what others eat. Sometimes, you just want that cheap, fast, processed hamburger because it hits the spot, but wanting it doesn't make you trashy. Other times, you want that perfect crust artisanal pizza, but that doesn't make you a food snob.

Conversation washed over her, but she froze at the word “shifter” drifting on the wind.
A haughty feminine voice sneered and Mila caught the woman lifting a cup to her lips, so full of her own superiority. “They should all be shot.”

You can’t take the emotion out of decision making. It’s literally neuroscience. Without emotion, we have no impulse to make a decision at all.
It’s why some types of depression can come with apathy and lack of motivation as symptoms.
The two are linked.

I've ranted about this before but I actually *hate* the (disturbingly common!) idea that we should take emotions out of decisionmaking.
You feel your emotions for a reason, they are as relevant to making decisions as every other factor and denial of them is a refusal of your humanity.

it feels a lot like today's murder is in response to the mass protests yesterday, as if to tell us we're powerless, that our solidarity won't protect us.

I cannot, during these horrific times, recommend enough the importance of making pockets of time to just do things that are not related to anything but the joy of being alive and playing. You need it. You do. It will keep you whole. Which we need. We need you whole.
