There's nothing like getting lost in a wonderful audiobook when the world feels bleak. Thoroughly enraptured by The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson with masterful narration by Daphne Kouma. Sometimes even within the first chapter you can tell a book will be pure magic. ✨

Funny enough I hadn't logged into BlueSky in ages and made me smile to see you here! Yes, it's been too long 💕

Hello friend, hope you've been well :)

Unfortunately it seems to be the messaging directed at all us Gen Xers. Yay magic cure all powder?

Sending support & 💓 your way, Lynn. A friend, who is also an independent author, expressed the same about the Amazon boycott and exclusivity agreements. So while I will be boycotting Amazon otherwise, will continue to buy books from indie authors!

#booksky, #disability & #cozyfantasy folks -- we have 9 free books now! One of these books there's no other way to get!

So if you're interested:
1) Contact your reps on behalf of disabled rights.
2) Send a copy to cozybookbundle@gmail.com.
3) In March we'll send you the books!

This is amazing, thank you for all your efforts and to all the authors participating.

America,

This is our Germany 1933 moment.

Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond.

This is beyond party, beyond country.

This is about our collective humanity.

Support and love for all my trans friends and the trans community in these dark times. You, your courage, journey, and identity are valid. You are deserving of love, respect, and kindness. Your presence and courage in this world makes it a richer, more beautiful place.

Thinking of all the people, animals and communities impacted by the California Wildfires, but also those recovering from the flooding in the South. The news might move on, but there are so many struggling after such adversity and terror. I'm donating as much as I can, but wish I could do more.

Hoping your day is looking up soon, or if not may all that buttery goodness brings some comfort and cheer.

Unfortunately, we are now seeing the true colors of big business who only care about the bottom line and nothing for diversity or protections. It's disgusting. I can understand feeling so betrayed. I'm so sorry.

Glad they gave the faux you the boot!

I can only imagine all the fury you're feeling around this, it's terrible!

Such a treat to have time for fun kitchen projects, like baking a batch of beautiful No-Knead Brioche Buns from @americastestkitchen.com. They taste heavenly!

What matters is how we treat others and ourselves. If kindness and compassion guide our actions, we can't go wrong.

I always love her books!

Glad Jasper is doing well!

Hello BlueSky, crafted a bio to start settling in. How to squeeze in the many facets of who you are, and what matters to you in so few words without sounding dull is always a challenge.

My cousin is coming to visit today, so had to get an early start. I baked an apple bread, meatballs for the week, plus laundry. My sleep has been a disaster since the election, I’m so wiped out. Hoping I perk up to enjoy the visit.

Hello Jenna! 👋🏻

so majestic!

Beautiful!

please do!

We're here together. It's important to let the light into our hearts, and share it with the people, animals and world around us.

sounds like a very moving experience.

This is my darling boy Simba. We were fostering him, and he hopped his way right into our hearts. He’s a real lovebug.

What a handsome gentlebun you are Leonard. 😍
