I see I've gotten some new followers, so hello! I guess it's time to do another intro post! 👋
✨I'm a YA & NA fantasy writer. My current WIP is full of demons and pretty dresses, and everyone is anxious and queer.
✨I, too, am queer and full of anxiety (and caffeine, usually).

Our sports teams regularly try to take entire years off our lives. Might as well do it with our elections, too.

A Gatsby party, the rise of fascism, and now a baseball gambling scandal? We’re really doing all the 1920s hits in the 2020s, aren’t we.

I am simply too busy doing the work to live blog to be satisfactorily performative for the internet's killjoys. Let me post about Pokemon and funny things my kids say in peace.
I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.
Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.
Let people find joy where they can, please.

Me, trying to be a cool and relatable parent to my 12yo who didn't want to eat breakfast (which he needs to do to take his meds): "You know what? A lot of the things I do to take care of myself, I'm doing against my will."
12yo: "I'm not adding Bois to my team."

My kids have measles and my SNAP benefits were cut. But at least those cashiers at Walmart aren’t writing “they/them” on their name tags anymore.

Love to show my kids a life hack and it's literally just me moving aside a container of orange juice in the fridge to reveal the milk they'd claimed was out.

If people are so scared of socialist programs, just wait until they find out how we pay our troops, cops, and firefighters. Or better yet, those paved roads! Spooky stuff.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.
