Happy anniversary! I love that Jewish hazing/initiating always involves drunk cousins.
Hava nagila at a bat mitzvah has the added benefit of completely embarrassing the easily mortified b’nai mitzvah.

Went to sell some used books at my local shop.
Guy: Yeah, we don’t buy any Neil Gaiman anymore.
Me: I figured, but it was worth a shot.

Y’all. YOU ALL. Look what just showed up in my mailbox. I’m still pretty new to this writing thing, but I can’t imagine holding my own book will ever get old. (Cover needs some tweaks before I release this doorstop)

The Void, Illuminated. #caturday

A large gray cat sitting with his belly exposed. He’s in a fluffy blue cat bed.

Behold Mr. Majestic! Supreme maker of biscuits when he’s feeling benevolent. Licker of all things plastic at 5am when he feels wrathful. #caturday

A little off topic, but we’re behind on finishing season 2 of Severance. Two episodes to go. I have questions. Primarily, what the actual and virtual fuck? (No spoilers please.)

The top half of a black cat’s face peeking above a table. In the background is an unmade bed.

I don’t know why she’s mad at me. Maybe it’s because I didn’t make the bed. Happy #caturday

The cover of “Fang Fiction” by Kate Stayman-London. Its an illustration of a black haired woman with a bandage over bite marks on her neck. She’s reading a book.

I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but this looks hella fun.

She’s lying to you. There’s already food in her bowl. Happy #caturday.

As a writer there’s nothing worse than fully committing to one story that’s been years in the making only for your squirrel brain to say, “Wait! What if we write a whole different story? And then change everything about the one you’re supposed to be writing?!”

There’s a metaphor somewhere in the fact that walnut-brained wild turkeys in my neighborhood keep blocking traffic while they strut around.

Being from California means getting bummed out when you didn’t feel the earthquake.

Yeeeeep

Lesson learned: When watching “Hamilton” with your child, don’t assume they know how it ends.

I just woke up from a long, glorious nap. Anything ides-of-marchy happen?

Lap cat is lap-catting. Happy #caturday

Me opening SM at 7am: “Let’s get this day ruined!”

As promised, I posted a picture of my cat in my newly-formed readers group. Thrilling stuff, folks. The Hillyverse over on FB.

I know I’m tired when I have a loud argument in my head with my dad, who’s been gone for more than six years.

Husband is getting on a plane today and I’m trying not to lose my shit.

It’s horrible but I enjoyed the loose clothing.

I wonder if the actors are the same too. I might spend too much time on my phone.

You know those mobile ads that pop up during your silly little games? Do you think they film 🌽 on the same sets?

Report: DOGE staffers energized by potential invasion of Canada because so many of their girlfriends live there.

I love how the thumbnail is all "LOOK AT MY BELLYBUTTON!"

I'm still sussing out the vibe of bluesky, so I don't know how effective it is for authors to talk about their books on here...
Anyhoooo, I put out my 10th book a little over a week ago.

Watching the season 1 finale of Severance and living through the destruction of society make for really strange dreams.

Forever and ever, amen.
