who knew a decision i made at 13 years old would result in so much purpose and so much neglect of homework. a very protagonist decision. i am so proud of her 🥹

sometimes I wonder what my life would look like if I had thrown all my time into developing my visual arts or acting skills and turned those into professional careers -- BUT words are such a cool medium to work with.

wouldn't change my choice for the world.

I love environmental storytelling in dystopian sci-fi games.

OK i did miss the green swirly carpets of this airport

I can't believe I'm already on my way home, I want to be out doing writer things forever

I spent the whole residency texting my fiancee "hey can you return Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, it's due before i get back" "hey noticed the book is still not returned" "hey its due in 2 days" "heyyyyyyy" 😂😂😂

I love her! I will miss her!!

I left a note for the next person in the desk drawer to return her to her office

I got to check out a plant from the LIBRARY (octavia you will always be in my heart). I got to meet such an incredible group of people that I am currently (two days after saying goodbye) scheming to see in the future 🥹😭

There was 1 (1) deer

😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

🥹 I always feel like they're going to stick to my tonsils even with water. Hope it's working!

Words are from Harlon Ellison, song is from "Oh Ana" by Mother Mother

Unsurprisingly, Gender Queer is on this list. I'm so frustrated that Canadian teachers, students, and librarians are having to deal with this same shit we're dealing with here in the US. Canadian authors you can join @authorsabb.bsky.social !

You're supposed to collect people's names off shipping labels as they appear across your desk like some kind of fae creature.

"I only use AI for character names"

WRONG

Get a job in customer service like a normal person.

This situation in FL is bad. My novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club was recently retained in one county, but now I think it’s been banned again — and in more counties — because the state is forcing districts to ban books even if they’ve been reviewed and retained.

(this is a joke I would NEVER laugh at a joke that is uncool and stale and then promptly share it with @oneiroboros.bsky.social before realizing Everyone in the comments Hated That)

when you laugh at a joke in the comments, and then there's five people in that comment's comments saying how unfunny and stale that joke is 😞 sucks to suck

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.
