From The Hobbit:
"The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,
And bright are the windows of Night in her tower."
Images: M45, the Pleiades and tonight's waxing crescent Moon. 🔭
An image of an open star cluster with bright blue and white stars and wispy clouds of glue-gray dust. A telescopic image of the Moon in the waxing crescent phase showing many impact craters and smooth, dark plains.

Hi, I'm a NY times bestseller and a multiple National Magazine Award-winning journalist.

I've had FT jobs or multiple gigs going ever since I moved to New York a decade ago.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Still on my "nightshade librarian" bullshit
A selfie of me wearing a nightshade purple top, glasses, a crescent moon necklace, and my hair braided. I have nightshade-coloured cat eyeliner on my eyes.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed was a driver but he lost his car and his home. He is trying to take care of his four children. Fires who is in dental school, Mohammed who finished his final year of high school, Halal, a 7th grader and Bisan, a 5th grader.

This is a success story that Sierra Leone deserves credit for.

At the peak of the outbreak Sierra Leone was seeing 600 cases of mpox weekly. Over the last 8 months 200,000 vaccine doses have been delivered prioritizing the most at risk groups. Currently cases are down to 30 a week.
Public health works to end epidemics.

Sierra Leone’s mpox case-count is plummeting. Can the country get to zero new infections?
Ten months into a national public health emergency, and nearly six months into a vaccination campaign, Sierra Leone appears to be winning its fight against mpox.

This is happening in cross-stitch too. There are a lot of people making "patterns" that are just AI pictures or real art that has been run through a pixel filter that doesn't look good, doesn't match up with DMC threads, and doesn't make any sense.
I hate that we have to scrutinize everything🫠

So a while back I was commissioned to do short bios of various rock stars, and they were just about universally total psychopaths, with the huge exception of Freddie Mercury. A lovely man who did good by his wife, his lovers, and his cats.

Today (24 November) marks the passing of Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. He remains regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music.
