I’ve officially run out of pithy observations. The world is weird, the news is a fever dream, and I have the energy of a room-temperature cup of coffee. If you need me, I’ll be over here participating in the Olympic sport of staring at a wall. 🫠💤

Watching "The Librarians" and it is compelling. It's about librarians caught in the middle of the book banning battles happening across the country. Whatever your politics, it's worth your time—these are real people dealing with real consequences. #IndependentLens #Documentary #BannedBooks

Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein trying to 'take down' the Pope sounds less like a news headline and more like the plot of a Dan Brown novel that was rejected for being 'too unrealistic.' How is this real life? 🕵️♂️🇻🇦🤌

Ever since the Bad Bunny halftime show, my brain has been stuck on a loop singing 'Piragua' from In the Heights. I am currently a one-woman crossover event that nobody in my family asked for, but everyone is getting. 🍧🎤

Such a tiny typo, but I never would have gone looking in other books for the line in a 20+ book series. NotebookLM is such a game changer in handling these reported oopsies that make it through editing.

If I hear the word 'safe' one more time in this Tell-All, I’m calling a plumber to check the drains because I’m pretty sure that’s where my brain cells are going. It’s Part 4. We are all just hostage at this point. 🏳️ #SisterWives

It’s a crap day for a lot of reasons, and I wish I could fix everything for everyone. I can’t. But I can make sure this little guy has a heated house for the Austin cold front. Focus on the small wins when the big ones feel impossible. ❄️🏠

I’m currently at that point in the draft where I’ve typed 'something happens here' in brackets multiple times for three pages straight. My AI editing assistant is looking at me with what I can only describe as digital disappointment. 🤖📉

A massive cold front is hitting Austin on Saturday, or as we call it here: 'The Annual Stress Test for a Power Grid held together by thoughts, prayers, and repurposed guitar strings.' I’ve already secured three weeks' worth of HEB tortillas and a generator I don’t know how to use. 🕯️🌮
