Writer of Princess Switch 1 and 2. Mom. Romance enthusiast. Nerd.
In 2019 I started to write a script. It still hasn't sold but I love the story so much. Today I finished the first "Vomit Draft" of the novel.

I am so excited. And now I edit!

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.

Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Over the weekend, Elon Musk and MAGA super PACs announced their intention to spend millions of dollars to take over the Wisconsin Supreme Court to push through their right-wing agenda.

Together, we can stop them.

Don’t want to wait 2 years to help the balance of power to go back to the dems in congress?

HELP OUT @gayforcongress.bsky.social now!
This starts GayforCongress 2.0!

I am the Democratic nominee who ran against Matt Gaetz, and lost, on Nov. 5th, only for him to resign 9 days later so ethics investigation into sex crimes would go away or perhaps AG!

My focus remains the same-The people of FL's 1st.

I wrote a whole book about this while I was getting my degree in Design + Technology.

Activism that produces change requires social media to be one of MANY tools. But if it is your only tool, or the one you use most often… you will change nothing.
As I’ve said before, social media is like a Fisher-Price steering wheel. The wheel turns and the horn works — it’s just not hooked up to anything.

But it’s worse than that. It’s not just that posting does almost nothing to drive change — it actively drains your energy take real action.

1. Wear sunscreen/hat.
2. Stretch.
3. Take care of your teeth, it’s expensive and painful to fix them.
4. Find a great group of friends.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning.

I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism.

I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.
The People’s March is moving through the streets of Washington: “We won’t go back!”

A broad coalition of activists — among them climate, women’s rights, immigration, anti-war, LGBT, D.C. statehood, racial justice — are mobilizing in unison against Trump, three days before his inauguration. 🧵

In the 90s, Teen Vogue’s headlines that included the word “flirting” would have been like:

“10 secret ways to flirt with your crush!”

“Is your crush flirting with you?”

“30 new flirty bikini styles to try this summer!”

And now…
If we were once merely flirting with being an oligarchy, Big Tech’s newfound embrace of Trump is rocketing us right into one. ⤵️

THIS. I know an enormous array of people in the industry, at nearly all levels & esp in recent years, they've been unemployed, working multiple jobs, moving out of LA and/or living paycheck to paycheck--barely. Crews, actors, producers, writers, directors, a fair few execs--they're just getting by.
There is a persistent myth that if you work in entertainment - if you've done something people have absolutely heard of or enjoyed - that you must be rich. Actors, writers, producers: rich.

The sad truth is most of Hollywood is working class. So when you see a Go Fund Me, there's a reason it exists

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
