Some of the new albums I got in the mystery box

I took a chance on a $25 mystery box of 100 CDs, and I'm really excited to go through them and hopefully find some new songs to love 💕

View into the kitchen where they're preparing the malasadas

The malasadas I got: lemon sugar covered, cinnamon sugar covered, and vanilla bean filled

Starting off August right by treating myself to Ollie's Malasadas in Windsor, CO 💕🍩

I'm so ready for fall so I can deeply immerse myself in my new sapphic WIP 🍂🖤

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — ours to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read and read again until there's nothing left but memories from something real

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global An epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark...

Well, I'll be damned.

It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up.

I can never return to this Subway again. He asked, "What's going on here for you today?" so I started describing the art installation I was going to... He meant my sandwich. Which condiments I wanted on my sandwich.

At least the art installation was cool.

Meme: "how to breathe" entered into Google search bar. It shows an insge of someone inhaling and exhaling, but the screen is blurred like the person who looked it up in the search bar is throwing their phone or something

Just finished writing the synopsis for my next big project. secret spy society. twisted sapphic romance. going to really lean into the horror with this one I think.

I finally started my query journey! Don't mind me trying not to cry!

"You good?" No bro. I'm suddenly feeling creative, but I'm not currently physically in a place to be creative.

Currently consumed by a frankly criminal urge to write an oblivious main character who thinks their longing is unrequited by their best friend

6 magnets, ceramic blueberries, on fridge

My mom made me blueberry magnets, and I'm obsessed with them.

I don’t have *a* favorite queer book. Because the breadth of queer experiences is so great, and the talent of so many queer writers is so great, I could only have, at a minimum, a favorite armload of queer books.

Broken plant pot and white metal table strewn across ground. Dirt in carpet. Pot in pieces.

One of my cats knocked over a metal side table this evening, breaking a plant pot and vase. I feel like such a crappy upstairs neighbor right now. Maybe I should write my downstairs neighbor a sorry note.

Dad is reading my manuscript for the first time. Every character he comes to, he asks, "Who's _____?" like just keep reading you'll find out soon

"Don't you dare die before you finish writing the entire series!"

I had grocery store sushi for my Monday morning breakfast and I can't tell if that was the best decision or worst decision

Sick on the first day of pride month? That's pretty rude of my body tbh

Happy Pride!!!

My mom just got offered a summer pottery apprenticeship at age 56, so it's never too late to follow your dreams!
