My bass playing hubby has a collection of pedals. If they keep up with it, they’ll eventually end up wanting some.

Babe, wake up. It’s time to get your greenie.

Had such a good time at my last run through before the official launch of my bookstore! The Queer Mercado in East LA is filled with good vibes, honestly.

Monsters With a Side of Romance - The Undead Bookshop The Undead Bookshop is getting ready for our next pop-up. This Saturday, August 16, 2025, we’ll be manifesting at the Queer Mercado in the East L.A. Civic Center. Head over to our event page to see mo...

Photo is a screenshot from the Square Dashboard showing the title "Across A Field of Starlight" by Blue Delliquanti. The AI-generated description for the book reads: ""Across a Field of Starlight" by Blue Delliquanti is a captivating book that takes readers on a journey through a mesmerizing world. This paperback edition is perfect for those who enjoy immersive storytelling and beautiful prose. Dive into the pages of this enchanting novel and get lost in a field of starlight." Word salad.

Like....what???? 🤔

I'm entering all the books I have for my market this week and when I put in the ISBN, a description is auto-generated. The AI has not been right once. It's like a HS book report where the student didn't read the book and then tries to say the same sentence in different ways to hit word count. YIKES.

The overwhelming feeling for today is anger. I’m angry that not a damn thing I learned about the American dream turned out to be true. That in just a few short years, a few people could tear it all down. I’m not sure what we’re even left with.

I’m launching a traveling bookstore and…behold!
The first shipment of books!
The best part is, they’re all gay AF horror, scifi, and fantasy books! I’ll be unboxing all week, so follow along for good book recs. 🌈

I need everyone to stop everything and watch “I’m Your Venus” on Netflix. I love how thoughtful and considerate the makers were while telling the story of Venus Xtravaganza and the love given to her during and after her life. A wonderful follow up to the queer classic “Paris is Burning”.

I feel like this story gets trotted out every single time conservatives try to hit hard on immigration. Do these people just have shit memories???

Why is the Democrat call-to-action to…give money to the Democratic Party? What do you meeeeean??? That’s why nobody likes y’all anymore!

Icon.

One day, I'm just gonna add a little sundew to my cart and I'm going to purchase that weird little bug-eating baby.

Why hasn’t Rupaul’s Drag Race done a Night of 1,000 Divines???? Seems like a miss.

Who needs a king when we all know Queens do it better.

Why didn’t I know Wonder Woman was RAZA???

I don’t keep what I say to places like Blusky. My ovaries are so big, I say what I have to say with my whole chest on FB where all my conservative relatives can see.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water.

These are crimes.

When ICE comes into our neighborhoods targeting our communities and hurting our leaders, we show up! United. Organized. Ready to protect families.

All the Muppets at their fingertips and they decide to put in an Avatar land that no one asked for.

WE knew but I figure it can’t hurt if we let people think this is breaking news.

Look at my child! Went to a doggy party this weekend and Janice Lau made this portrait. 🥰

Already seeing some Narkina prisoners in this Paley Andor event!

Oh my...that's a big bonker! She pulls it off so well though.

Protect the dolls.
Cherish the dolls.

The overwhelming caucasity of announcing a pregnancy by baking a USED peestick into a cake. Another reminder that one simply cannot eat out of everybody’s house. #secretlivesofmormonwives
