Editor & copywriter by day, serial hobbyist also by day bc I need a lot of sleep at night. Embroidery, cloud watching, archery, reading, piano, painting, and worrying about the current state of the world (not my favorite hobby but there nonetheless).

I’m a copyeditor and proofreader with experience at a lit mag and with full length nonfiction :)

My rent is gonna jump up $120 + a $40 parking fee we never had before, and I went into the office to ask what that was about, and they lowered the rent increase by $25. So this is your sign that it literally pays to be annoying (but also nice about it, I think that helped a lot).

Yep, I just had to pay out of pocket in WA bc my insurance refused to cover it. I didn’t need a prescription but I did have to verbally say and sign on the intake form that I was immunocompromised.

My insurance refused to pay for my Covid vaccine I got 2 days ago in WA. I had a note from my doctor but not a prescription.

Well, it turns out I didn’t have to *prove* eligibility, but I did have to say I was immunocompromised AND my insurance wouldn’t cover it so I had to pay out of pocket 😑

Amanda @lionserr.bsky.social · Sep 3

It says a lot about the state of the country when I’m *extremely excited* that I was able to get a Covid vaccine appointment, same day, and they said I don’t have to prove eligibility 🙌🏼

But honestly I didn’t even mind. It was all for stuff I genuinely believe in and love doing, so I was happy to do it.

I worked 12 hours today. Happy Labor Day!

That is a helpful update, thank you!

Tried to make an appt at Walgreens yesterday and they already greyed it out so I couldn’t 🙃 hoping maybe my PCP will let me. So frustrating.

I’m in the final round of interviews for the biggest job of my life and I think I’m just going to be in a constant state of anxiety until it’s all over 🙃

How I spent my weekend 🐎 🏹

Amanda @lionserr.bsky.social · Jul 8

I’m out paddleboarding and 2 bald eagles swooped down into the lake to try to catch something just a few yards away from me and part of me wishes I had been able to get that on video but I’m also just grateful I got to witness that at all. Wow.

Donated :)

Absolutely. I’ve noticed most spellcheckers are autocorrecting to truly wrong things now since AI. Like telling me to change a correct word into a clear typo, just had that happen to me in a Google doc.

I was telling my friend a fun library fact and she asked where I learned that. When I said “oh, I went to a library panel at comic con,” she laughed uproariously and said, “that’s the nerdiest thing I’ve ever heard and SO tracks for you.” 🤓

Update: jump rope (+a long hike) gave me Achilles tendinitis lmfao

I’m a young millennial and I didn’t have measles or mumps immunity when I checked a few months ago too! I’m thinking long lasting “immunity” required herd immunity, which we now don’t have. We WOULD’VE been fine…we were so close to eradicating measles. So. Close.

I’m always looking for fun workouts to try, and I know jumping rope is damn good exercise because I did just 15 minutes yesterday and my CFS/post-exertional malaise is telling me I have no choice but to Sit Down today.

Mochas are just caffeinated chocolate milk.

That’s so cool! Working on a cloud book like that would be a dream project of mine. I was just added to the freelance proofreader roster at Mountaineers Books, so maybe I’ll get to one day.
