F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Character is plot, plot is character.” And he was right.

We come to understand characters the same way we do people in real life: by watching them act, struggle, and make choices.

If you find yourself reconsidering where to buy your books in light of Target ending DEI, don't forget your local independent bookstores! I'll happily spend a bit more, and wait a little longer for my pre-ordera #booksky #target

It’s a wonderful day to visit your local used bookstore and buy some banned books 🥰

Today, I create a world where toast, ducks, and audiobooks are all that exist. It’s a duck of a lot nicer here. And the marmalade whispers sweet nothings. 📚🌈 #audiobooks #ducks #queerreaders

Tomorrow I’m going to get some materials to make stencils for posters, I have a few concepts ready. Hopefully I can get a screen printing set up going again. Would love to bring the ability to screen print our thoughts and feelings to the community. Art has a way of bringing us together.

If you're an artist and you don't feel the urge to create due to current events, that's okay.
And if you're an artist and you *do* feel the urge to create due to current events, that's also okay.

Apparently there’s some kind of “but this is how the human brain works” explanation. I ain’t buying it.

On lazy gym days, I like to bring a book and walk on the treadmill for about an hour. The Thursday Murder Club is the first book in a long time that I can't put down. When I think I may have solved the puzzle, some new piece of information tosses my theory out of the window. #booksky
