He felt himself slipping into the old ways: the familiar gait, relaxed, yet steel-spring loaded. Wandering eyes - scanning, alert. Right down to the well-oiled weight on his hip, ready to speak it's silencing #soliloquy.

The old ways of leather & lead.

It felt good.

I have my mid-year review today, and it has been confirmed: I am awesome (and silly). 🤪

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

If you don't like being wooed with mediocre poetry, I am not the lady for you. 🤪

out for a walk, a drink, a meal
good conversation, see how we feel
sparks and attraction, maybe a kiss
and if there is nothing amiss
another date, and then perhaps
we'll both be off these stupid apps

Giving good advice doesn't mean much when you deliver it like a condescending asshole.

I was trying to think of what to get some coworkers for Christmas and I realized the best gift would probably be just to get better so I'm not coughing all over the place.

Mad for the Mayor is live! I'm so excited for this former rivals to lovers romance. A big thank you to @evernightpub.bsky.social for helping me share so many of my stories. The Applewood series might be my favorite. ☺️

Day 1,324 of being sick. No improvement and I sound like a seal barking when I cough. 🦭

Here we lay
Both grim & #aphotic
The children all
Become psychotic
Wormwood rotted
Bleached-bone light
Above, Old Luna
Spites the night
Oroberous' blinded sight
Die, we will
Live, we might
And here we lay
I shall not pray
For all is left
A whisper:

Goodnight

🚨 New scam alert 🚨

Scammers are now impersonating representatives of Silent Book Club to target authors by pretending they've been nominated for a reader award. The screencapped email here was followed up by a request for a video, press materials... and a "submission fee."

Never #suave & sophisticated
Couldn't be domesticated
No flair for the debonair
Never participated
Clever, forever
Always anticipated
The stares & the glares
Met with no cares
Paid them no fares
Believin' that sucks
Second thoughts? No spares
And even less fucks
