But I Also Have a Day Job: The Store Help me keep the bills paid by buying a book, a zine, or some merch written by me, Ian M. Rogers.

Pre-order a signed copy of my awesome second novel, Carcrash Parker and the Haven of Larpers by June 17th through my webstore to support me as an indie author (rather than buying through the big retailers...), PLUS choose an optional set of five 4"x6" postcards!

I do this but with fanfic. I get to re-enter a known world but read new stories about favorite characters.

Got to see Cloud Gate in person today. It was pretty cool to watch the reflections.

My 15yo was diagnosed with T1D last fall and refused to give himself a shot while at the hospital. The minute we got home and he realized he couldn’t go anywhere alone unless he learned how to give himself a shot changed his mind real quick.

Today my 8YO started telling me excitedly about “non-berry” people. She informed me:

- it’s wrong to call them “he” or “she” because they use them/they pronouns
- They’re not boys or girls
- They have a flag and it’s gray and purple and yellow and white
- they all believe in ghosts

While those people in Washington are destroying the government, can they also get rid of daylight savings time? I’d actually be in favor of that.

Three 14yo boys spent the night to celebrate my son’s birthday. Not a single one packed a toothbrush. 🤦‍♀️

Your periodic reminder that, 150 years ago, a desire to read fiction was considered both a sign of mental illness in women and a symptom of it.

The groups devoted to banning some books because they're "immoral", "obscene", etc. are just growths from the same bad root.
