Aw poor babies /s

I’ve been looking for more of this type of music!! A lot of the really punchy ones aren’t available on apple or Spotify 😭

It’s been pretty clear the US has been going down the fascism route for ages.

YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. ARE YOU HUNGRY?

I recently started writing again after taking a long hiatus. I’ve decided to rewrite both fantasy series I was working on to stitch them together. It’ll be awhile before I produce any sort of manuscript, but it feels good to be back at it again. Hello #writersofbluesky

Quote from Robert Frost against a background with lots of green trees and plants. The quote says, "Not tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, not surprise in the reader."

Today's mood, weeping while writing.

I don’t even have words anymore. This is despicable.

To be fair, chartreuse does sound like it could be purple.

I have learned so much about geography. I had no idea that the location of iron ore could be that interesting! I went on a full deep dive. I love this question.

This image depicts green leather with a gold embossing of a goblin-like head. Below the creature are the words "April 22. Seekers of the Stoneheart."

Frodo: what a week, huh? Gandalf: Frodo, it’s Tuesday.

here comes the slow brothers

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

You just voted to disenfranchise millions of women and people who have had name changes. Getting a new certified birth certificate is not easy. Passports are prohibitively expensive. I’m tired of your MAGA pandering.

Sundays are my Holy Day*

*the day I prep clothes and meal plan so I don't have to make decisions the rest of the week

At the forefront of the image is a hand holding two blue eggs. The egg on the right is much paler than the other, almost white. The background of the image has a few different potted plants in front of a window. The image is taken from the top down angle so the eggs and plants fill most of the image. Only the bottom half of the window is visible.

My new chickens (hatched September) have laid their first eggs! #chickens

I know I've said it before, but every day it's clearer to me.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I am so glad BlueSky exists. And you are all here. And... yeah.

me: I'm writing a book!
friend: oh cool. So what's it about?
me:

YOUR first draft doesn’t need to be perfect. but mine does

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books?

They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good*

sorry i've been so testy lately. it's just because of every single thing in the entire world
