Catch me and get books signed at The Spot in Seattle on September 28th. Thanks to Pandem and Cascade Writers for inviting me.

I'll have copies of the four current books in the Amakai series, as well as something published under a pseudonym in 2016. 💚🧚🏼‍♀️

When a kitsune in an amanita dress approaches you carrying a basket of purple carrots, how do you greet them and their floating, purple jellyfish?

TW: disordered eating, mentions of child abuse and DV

This brunch contains approximately 20g of fiber. Vegetarian chilaquiles with two eggs and a whole avocado. I loved every bite of it. Why do I mention the fiber content?

The 25yo says it sounds like almost like me except I need to do burlesque and post more pictures of necklaces to show off my tits.

My kid gets me.

Dragged 25y and myself out of the apt to get some writing/drawing time in at Soulfood before the drag show. Points:

•Italian cream sodas with strawberry and rose syrups. •saw Rococo period drag king (type I'd want to be).
•got more work done on Purgatory than expected, which will make my bff happy.

I love my 25yo. I love this typo.

Oh! I love it when black kitties reveal their orange genes and rust or brownth.

Here's my Ember in the sun:

Baron de Ghost in the Fantastic Adventures of Unico. (Especially the voice in the English dub.)

We made the cake
We pet the snake
We ate elotes

We went to our usual favorite post-event spots in the U-district for dinner and boba, then on our way home, we saw an ad for the ballet above a sign on the side of a building of a raven. (Pic 1)

Also, they managed to get tickets front row center, much as my mom would have were she alive.

24yo bought tickets to see Romeo and Juliet by PNW Ballet as a gift for 12yo's birthday. I didn't think I was ever going to be a fan of this story, but now I am. From the fight in Act II, I was crying. I did not bring tissues. When will I learn to bring tissues?

I recently discovered Perdition was among the books used to train Meta AI. As an indie author who spends more on illustrators/editors per project than I earn, it's another slap in the face.

So fuck it. Print at Bookshop and epub on Etsy.

Over on FB, where my bestie used to follow me, I've been posting videos by other people because the world is in flames and the U.S. is in a fascist coup, and my disabled ass is resisting as much as I can by speaking firmly at politicians, writing smut, and snatching any scraps of joy where I can.

Since the 24yo had to work on their day off, I splurged and ordered butter chicken dosa, which came with sambar and two chutneys from K G F. I already had rice pudding at home, so avoided spending extra $ on carrot halwa or ras malai.

I now have a mug of slightly bitter cocao chai, a frother that is too enteraining, and trans zines to read between calls.

I also need more creamer, and this drink definitely doesn't need a full tablespoon of powder. 2 teaspoons was plenty.

My bestie said a few weeks back I need to post more on Bsky and since she's accustomed to my mundane posts on FB, this thread is for her (and anyone else interested).

I've been folding laundry on work breaks. Notice how Ember chooses my blanket and Hermes seeks out the clean, folded towels.

11yo came home sick Friday and has only gotten worse. Now 24yo and I are sick, too. Did a grocery order, but I don't want to get out of bed to cook brunch. Might skip waffles and make oatmeal.

Until I do get up, I'm play Rorschach test with this island poster.

The world is on fire, this country is plunging deep into fascist territory instead of just flirting with it, and I'm clinging to any shred of joy I can.

So I made a happy little snack for work of spicy peanuts and nori-wrapped rice crackers. This ain't enough joy, but it's what I've got on hand.

And on a marketing note, I find it telling that the photo chosen for the brochure is of three white women of differing ages with bleach blonde hair and lightly tanned skin who look like they'd fit right in at a Felon34 rally.

The language of the bill and brochure seem innocuous until you read closely. This is a screenshot of a section of the brochure toward the end mentioning that these centers have a pro-life stance and will help women with spiritual services.
