may we all be these dogs

two dogs running along Ocean Beach as the sun sets. the sun is reflected in the wet sand and the dogs are evenly spaced, which is amazing as I took this from a bike ride a big wave is breaking offshore.

Been a bit overwhelmed lately, but in good news, I have a new story out!

"Shining Star" follows Belén, an aristocrat's daughter on a worldship, as she learns about the horrors from the Deep Belowdecks that saved her life.

Hi! Have you had something high-protein today, drank a glass of water or gone outside? Many things are bad, but you still matter, and are someone worth taking care of. I know how hard you are trying. One thing at a time.

Y'all, I have figured out why I don't bake regularly anymore.

Baking requires a lot of endurance that I no longer have.

Chronic illness sucks. It's hard to reconcile how much less energy and endurance I have on a good day vs how much I used to have.

Monica Louzon @molowrites.bsky.social · 29d

Me: "Why don't I bake anymore? I used to bake all the time! I love baking!"

Me, at 4pm: "Time to start baking!"

Me, ~7pm: *hangry exhaustion tantrum while the dough's chilling* "I HATE BAKING!"

Me, ~830pm, eating fresh tasty cardamom chocolate cookies: "They're SO GOOD, but I'm SO TIRED 😭 "

Bree @mostlybree.kitrocha.com · Aug 28

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically!

This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

Amy Jo (AJ) Cousins @ajcousins.bsky.social · Aug 28

Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬

Neighborhood crows strutting their stuff. More in the alt text on their lifestyles and fashion sense.

Sporty crow likes a trendy downward feather flurffle unbothered by posh pretensions of total coiffness. No, this hip crowster of today lets it all hang out with a chic blase attitude that tells the world "I'm free and I know it." With just a dash of fir tree pine-cone pinache. Oh yeah.

Every season there's the moody crow waddling down the runway, clutching a plank of wood like a corvid lumberjack. Burly, surly, off to bed early, this crow can bench press your mother and swallow large rats whole without even a second thought. That look around the eyes--that's the knowing look of a crow that knows who they are. Oh la la, that's sexy.

Goth crow doth hideth the head and frequent Dark Star Magick on the corner of Burnside and 8th, before ambling down to Grendel's Coffee House for a Bauhaus Special Blend. This is a feathery, leathery crow whose bashful side has a dark allure. Favorite author? Crowley, of course.

Crows about town dress up in their slick, tailored tuxes, black tie, cummerbund, and tails, of course. Maybe there's a little saucy Je ne sais quoi to their penchant for mimicking chimney sweeps and playing ring around the rosy, but these two cheeky champs couldn't be more serious about their fashion sense. Swank is back, baby.
