What's a really minor thing that makes you irrationally grouchy? Mine is cooking videos where the person is wearing long sleeves and/or has long hair that's not tied back. Your sleeve is touching the onions while you chop them! Your hair in the soup! No one cooks like this! Chaos.

I can not wait to see this book in person. The story I wrote for this anthology was both painful and cathartic to write. Thank you so much @christinamyers.bsky.social and Oga Nwobosi for selecting my story for Beyond Blue! And thank you @caitlinpress.bsky.social

There are a few very exciting milestones in bringing an anthology to life: when the submissions start rolling in, when you get to to tell the contributors their work has been accepted, etc. But the one that makes it feel really really real? Cover reveal day 💙 @caitlinpress.bsky.social

The thing that continues to baffle me is the earnest "well, he can't do that, it's unconstitutional" as though there isn't a long line of dictators in history who came into power in a place with laws and rules, and then ignored them entirely. There's no magic wand in a law.

Folks, I don't intend to post about every single horrible thing that's happening at the moment because I'm not a direct news source and also because my mental health has an upper limit. Don't confuse lack of obsessive news updating for lack of concern or lack of personal action. Also, here's a cat.
