Sapphic romance and queer fantasy author. Cat mom. Disgruntled Millennial. Rural-to-Urban Oregonian. Always looking for something new to learn.

Existence is resistance, and all that.
Just little Pippi things while @brutalmoose plays in the background. The two battled for attention dominance, but nothing beats a pip getting... well...

Beat. That's the word.

This week's spotlight is THE LONGEST RIVER! The first installment in the Elemental series that I will totally get back to one day, this book has the honor of having my oldest heroines, with both being around 60.

Did you read this one? Do we think we got my life in Gujo out of my system?

Every time I fix one typo, two more show up. It's just one of those physics things.
Each time all typos are successfully edited from a book, the entire universe is immediately replaced with a new universe containing a version of the book that has at least one typo.
I've written this book 5 times now. It's been through 3 professional edits.

How am I still finding typos? 😭

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Social media can now be best summed up as "most brutal murder you've seen on your homeland in 20 minutes" "look, kitty!" "why they fuck won't somebody do something?" "anyway, but my book."

If my therapist ever asks "why is your brain so compartmentalized" I'll just tell her how well I was trained.

I'm asking the time machine to take me back to the "Stomp, Clap, Hey" days.

It's been a hot minute since I've done one of these! But I've decided to try doing Throwback Thursdays again for a while. If only to remind people of books they might have missed. Whoops!

This week's spotlight is THE BOSS! My bestseller of 2025! Ice queens, offices, and femme/femme galore!

"Authors, more than ever, we need your books and stories!" Okay but I really don't feel like it right now. Y'all might be on your own over here.

At some point the massive news item is so big and developing that seeing literally anything else on my feeds feels Weird.

Apparently it's a holiday and everywhere is closed. Happens to me every time.

The puzzle my MIL got me. It was exactly the right level of mentally engaging and entertaining!

YT just reminded me of Mandy Moore's existence and the wave of nostalgia that came over me is... insufferable. I have also been singing a mashup of In My Pocket and Crush all day.

I've been going through a backlog of more recent J-pop artists my old ass needs to listen to. Got through milet yesterday and today i'm tackling Ado...

Uh, nobody warned me about that vocal range. Or her ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED AND UNTETHERED FROM REALITY fandom. (It's giving Hikki-bots c. 2008)

Spending my Thanksgiving putting together this cat puzzle I got all the way back at my birthday. Whew boy.

I really need the universe to understand how badly I need Michelle Yeoh and Helen Mirren to costar in something together before, you know, time hits. PREFERABLY a sapphic romance but I know that's never happening so a buddy cop movie ala RED or some gritty drama would work too JUST. MAKE IT. HAPPEN.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

Oh.
UPSET
The Suica penguin has been the face of JR East's popular IC transit card since its inception in 2001. Now, the company says it will replace the iconic character with an as-yet-unannounced mascot. That's left fans both perplexed and irate.
