It's raining from a blue sky
I'm feeling very not dry
The temperature is so high
Today is really soup

I'm so glad my kids didn't miss the core life experience of taking a Bubble-O-What's-Wrong-With-His-Face out of the packet and wondering what the hell is wrong with his face...

Bluesky have made it even easier to be reminded to add alt-text each time you post an image:

Settings -> Accessibility -> toggle on "Require alt text before posting".

Alt-text is a description that helps loads of people enjoy things they otherwise can't.

I won't promote posts that don't add it.

Sometimes other people's thoughts are so relatable it hurts. This is one of those times.
Me: It would be a good idea to...

My Autism/ Fibromyalgia: dude, you have no spoons.

Me: never mind. I'll let me ADHD forget, and hopefully have the spoons to write it down next time.

You know what? The system somehow works.

Disappointed to have almost reached the end of Equal Rites. It's been one hell of a ride. Dipping into a Vimes re-read next, but I've loved this book and these characters so much, I'm sad to say goodbye -- even temporarily.

I'm mostly noodling around and figuring out where everything is, but if any has a good starter pack for SFF *brands* -- imprints, small presses, award groups, cons, printers-of-sprayed-edge-hardbacks, library accounts run by snarky cat-people -- please share!

Hey, no followers! About me:

1. I write books. Fantasy books, to be specific. Urban fantasy to be even more specific
2. I'm neurospicy of the complex-flavour variety. Even though I hate complex flavours. I ate plain rice for dinner the other night and it was perfect.
3. I'm Australian.
