I dreamed of being at a Filipino party in a house that was many houses. I needed to leave, but I couldn’t find my shoes. Shoes everywhere, none of them mine. I said, “This is an emergency; I’ll just take some shoes that fit.” But… FILIPINO party. All of the shoes were way too small for my size 9s!

I successfully convinced myself I was having allergies for a week. Today, I admitted that I had been, in fact, coming down with a cold. In the way of things, this means I’m going to be well in a day, having only milked a day of sympathy out of an illness.

Hey, all! Does anyone have a button maker they’re particularly happy with? We’re looking to get one for our daughter (who is 12)

I love that other people think about the paprika hendl that Jonathan Harker ate and for which he made a note to get the recipe for Mina.
WELCOME TO THE DRACULA PAPRIKA DISCOURSE!!

I've finished another Historical Self-Portrait, set in 1725! You can see it in color if you join my Patreon, free tier and up. This one is based on a painting by Jean Etienne Liòtard and inspired by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's Turkish Embassy Letters.

The Queen of Smokey Mountain, out on sub again soon: Renata is a girl with the secret ability to talk to bugs, lifted out of poverty into the dazzling world of Philippine beauty pageants. The script is complete, though I’m making some revisions, and the artist is the amazing Amanda Castillo.

Ah, yes, the GREAT HALLL. The extra “L” is for “liminal.” As in, “You are trapped for eternity in this liminal space—a place between places that is not a place, where geometry is an ever-changing hallucination of a set of arbitrary rules that are not rules—and there is no exit.

Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.
The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt

Hearing the Tiffany version of “I Think We’re Alone Now” in Stranger Things made me realize how much they tried to Blue Monday-fy that song.

I know you need some chaos in your life, so why not watch a Northern (England) woman try to make green bean casserole: youtu.be/orkIu2ulpL0?...

“Reader, I Married My Brooding Boss Who Imprisoned His Mentally Ill Wife in the Attic”
On the other hand I think it would be very funny to retitle literary fiction light novel style. “Oh No! This Author Stand-In is Unhappily Married”
This attitude is how you end up with light novel titles.

My grandfathers lived through the 1930s, when Filipino men were literally being hunted down. The government gave Filipinos incentives to go back to the Philippines if they promised never to return. And yet almost all Filipinos in the U.S. chose to stay. I honor the Manongs by supporting immigrants.

Why Isn’t Everyone Talking About Domhnall Gleeson?
He’s been in behemoth properties like ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Harry Potter.’ He’s been Alex Garland’s muse. In ‘The Paper,’ he shape-shifted into an unsuspecting comedian—and he’s hardly done yet.

as a non-binary person I also find “folx” to be intensely cringe
“folks” is a perfectly good non-gendered term and you just decided to Hot Topic it to be edgy

The image that gets used for Ea-Nassir (pic 1) is about 1000 years too old to be him. Pic 2 and 3 are dudes from around 1900 BCE, which was Ea-Nasir time.
