Birthday surprise - one of the best experiences ever. 😭🥰☺️

I used to fundraise for my birthday every year, before I got sick, for @savinggorillas.bsky.social . I'm missing Rwanda, and Dian Fossey's legacy, today.

Practicing pinball for Wednesday because it's important to a birthday boy. 🤣

The Boys are helping me research today with my favorite background sounds. After 3 miles & a core workout before 7 am, I have piles of first-person narratives & "Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein" waiting for me. Happy weekend! 🍂🤎🍂 #horrorgirlsdoitbetter #author #research #inlovewithamonster

This morning was gorgeous, and full of changing winds. I'm ready for whatever is shifting. Still aching for the peace of colder mornings and moments shared. But I'm grateful for what I have been given.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

"I want to read that."

"Wait, give me your card."
You bet! I love getting ghosted.

Baked last night after Conference, because of course I did. Sliced it today - practice for my bday *AND* delivery for a friend. I really wish I could open that Bakery. #tastytreats #StrangerThanFiction #homebaker #ideliver

We’re in the business of keeping independent bookstores in business 🤍📚

Watched the moon set this morning on my hike. 5 miles, 4 deer, and I am ready for Conference Week.

important game day reminder: all storm sewers in the Muni Lot drain right into Lake Erie.
