I assume this is a fishing attempt.

I don't know if anyone would fall for it as it requires the mark believe their account is actually suspended, which is easy to verify.

But might be a good idea to block the account. (at securitytrust dot bsky dot social)

Psss.... There's a 25% discount on The Harmony of Falling Snow today and tomorrow. It's technically for the FediBookFair over on the federated side of social media, but I'm willing to share it with my Bluesky peeps too. :)

If you're not subscribed to my newsletter, you can find my last one as a bog post here: andorabrokaw.com/2025/11/01/e...

TL/DR: My ADHD is running amok but I'm starting Act 3 of Melody regardless.

I made a helpful graphic for my description of my ADHD.

My character Bex coaches a kids hockey team called the Wild Griffons. This may be related to the griffin costume I crocheted myself. 🙂

Survivd taking the spouse to her psych appointment.and the forty minutes I had to spend waiting for her script. In a grocery store. On a day I'm not allowed to eat.

Got myself a new friend to hold my hand while wandering Safeway starving.

Ritter and I have been chilling at the Washington State Ski and Snowboard Museum all day. I think at least one of us is ready for a nap.

The snow line is currently between my house and the local brewery.

The Harmony of Falling Snow isn't a very scary novel. It's a romance fantasy about supporting those you love and standing up for important things like respect, agency, and democracy. It also has winged ferrets!

1st 3 chapters and the cover pitch:

Honestly, I don't talk about my book much offline. And like many of us, it would be both personally abhorrent and seriously off-brand to be marketing on the more popular social media platforms.

But for anyone who sees this here and had no idea I published a book...

Made a protest for Ritter since he was told he couldn't go protesting with his mom.

Including the protest sign if other dogs want to use it.

Thank goodness my pain-in-the-ass dog and his extreme separation anxiety prevented me from having to choose between a welcome-back work party or a protest. I have a family member at each of those things and I'm keeping the dog from ripping his nails off clawing at his kennel.*

My beloved desired a silly yellow frog hat. And that is what I crocheted.

The mist behind the house lifted and, as expected, I can see snow from my deck deck!

Happiness!

I can see SNOW from my house!

There's a dusting visible from my front deck. I expect there's a decent amount on the ridge behind me, but all I can see from the back deck is mist.

At my house itself, there are snowflakes coming down, but it's mostly rain.

To make up for advertising at everyone today, here's a pic of Ritter!

He's miff I made him walk up a BIG HILL and then take the long way home.

My 1st bundle... 22 books with ADHD authors and/or characters.

Harmony has both! While Yuri's bipolar issues may seem more pressing and Vil's tidiness may seem more like OCD, both characters are nearly as ADHD as I am!

Took the dog on a 10 minute walk. Between the smoke and not feeling great, I'm completely knackered.

But the dog is happier than he was and Talvi is appreciating me fulfilling my function as a kitty seat cushion

The char limit is KILLING me here. I don't like just sharing screenshots because I usually can't read them and the alt text can hard to scroll through

But here's a pic with the introduction of Vil's teashop if you have better eyesight than I do and a streatched out version if not

I would have thought Talvi might be wary of boxes after he was shoved in one to go to the vet today, but the call of the cardboard overcame and trepidation.

Once upon a time, I came across this chalice in a store in Sicily. My mom thought it was creepy, and I couldn't explain to her that was part of what I liked. Also, the artist was very sweet and patient with my pigeon Italian.

Talvi knocked it from its shelf today, but it wasn't harmed.
