I never post anymore, but I'm quite proud of this!
It isn't perfect. There's LOADS of mistakes. But for my first stained glass cuts *and* mosaic, I'm really happy. :)

That Oval Office shitshow will have the opposite effect of what Trump and Vance intended.
I'm so glad Zelensky didn't give in. That was a room full of bullies, and Zelensky came out looking better than ever.
Slava Ukraini.

We haven't traveled much since the pandemic.
When we have, I try to get a small amount of sand/dirt as a souvenir. I add a few objects (like sea glass, an interesting pebble, a few shells (if local laws permit), etc). Then it sits on our mantle as a wee reminder. :)

While we were watching Colbert last night, my husband said, "Why is it we never see Tig Notaro and Adam Scott in the same room together?"
And... my guys... I now can't unsee this shit.

I've hated our mantle since we moved in. Built using chintzy materials, style didn't work with the aesthetic, etc.
Soooo, this was my cheap facelift using mostly craft woods (like for dollhouses). Didn't want to invest much as we won't be staying here.
My fingers are raw, but worth it!

I'm American. I recently became a Scottish citizen. 🧵1/2
Things I don't have to worry about:
1) I decide what to do with my own body
2) Going to the doctor is free (so is getting treatment if I have a major illness)
3) Prescriptions are free

I've been struggling with my mental health (and why I've been radio-silent on socials).
This week, for the first time in months, I wrote almost two chapters of a new project.
Baby steps.

Instead of working on a synopsis for the next book in my series... I started a whole new novel idea today.

This is my favourite of Ry's books so far. Definitely recommend you add it to your TBR pile! You won't be disappointed. :)
Been bursting with excitement about this for a while now. So thrilled that I can officially announce my next book!
Thanks so much to @michelle4laughs.bsky.social for repping it!

Folks, this is a usability game-changer. Turn it on!
In your settings -> Thread Preferences.
Turns the threading of post replies into a reddit-like structure instead of twitter-like. *SO* much easier to navigate and read without having to backtrack and re-click replies to unlock threads.

Dreamt last night I had "open butt surgery".
Like, they scalpeled out squares of my butt cheeks for "reasons".
Complained to my husband, in-dream and post-op, that it hurt, and he said, "Well, yeah. They did surgery. On your butt."
Super empathetic, in-dream husband. 😭

I'm just gonna say it: I *hate* querying.
For someone who's got anxiety and depression (and very possibly might be neurodivergent), the whole experience is akin to being slowly crushed to death with no escape, but all the while being told, "Don't give up!"

This has GOT to be one of the best "Fun Agent Facts" I've read so far!
She used to sponge-bathe dead bodies?! AND THERE WAS SOMETIMES MOLD?!?!?
