Happy Wikipedia Day, everyone! Wiki turns 24 today, and needs our support more than ever with gen AI slop scraping their content and turning traffic from their page. We wanted to celebrate Wiki's birthday by sharing some of our favorite articles - a thread!

AH, JOIN ME IN CELEBRATION OF A JOYOUS EVENT! I got my first one of the spam comments on AO3!! Considering I have almost 450 works up, I'd been feeling so left out!! I think having my works archive-locked protected me for a while. But finally, I've been spammed. I feel so included. 😭🥰😭🥰😭🥰

Happy Launch Day for our awesome queer trilogy of modern-with-magic novels by Tris Lawrence! These college students have magical Talents, and they've learned about a threat that could end the world! And they still have exams!! Learn more on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

Sorry about the fine mesh of my window bug screen but it's too cold to go outside in my PJs and I needed to share how gorgeous the sunrise is.

I took the rubber ducky shot with my TBR that I posted earlier today - here's another, this time with our publications! My lil duckies are especially excited about Commit to the Kick and Missed Fortunes - the Kickstarter for the trilogy launches tomorrow!

Oh drat! I'd better fix that! And yeeeep it was ages ago, I haven't been to Gencon since 2016 cause I had kids.

And aaaaaa you got one of our books! Small world is small!

Lessee... sorry the lighting in here is kinda terrible. I've got others too but I'd have to go downstairs. 🤣

Happy National Rubber Duck! This is the top of my TBR, with two rubber ducks.

If I can convince any of y'all to also take pics of your TBRs with rubber ducks, I'd love to see um! Tag me maybe? Please?

So I've been dealing with weird traffic patterns on our website, and it's been like triple-double-extra weird since the new year started (like more traffic in under two weeks than in a quarter of 2025) so I'm finally poking around the back end and... nope, nothing sus going on here AT ALL, lmao

uh. idk, is it appropriate for me to post my fanfic on the Press account??? It's always weird trying to draw the line on what's appropriate to post re: "this is my only Bluesky acct and therefore my personal acct" and "this is an acct associated with my business"

Posting this for posterity cause once I start posting random-ass fandoms and my bizarre rare pairs again, it's gonna plummet. It always does when I actually post things. 🤣

If I'm lucky it'll stay about 1700.

Jan 16 - 19 is Arisia, an sff con, held at the Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge. It includes panels, vending, table-top gaming, meet-ups, and more. I'll be in the Creators Corner; there’s also a Dealer’s Room AND an Artist Show! If you’re in the Boston area, I hope we’ll see you there. 2026.arisia.org

Every month, we hold a litcon-style panel on a topic chosen by our Patrons or selected by the panelists themselves. This month, we’re getting together with Sebastian Marie, Puck Malamud, Alex Bauer, Tris Lawrence, and Lucy K. R. about being neurodiverse creators! www.patreon.com/c/duckprints...

So my MIL always gets people money = to their age for their birthdays, and she usually gets me $100 for my bday. Downside: the money is always for Amazon. So with no choice where to spend it, and almost the exact amount of money for this... well, it was really no choice at all. This cost me $3, lol
