this is the one social media I haven't told yet (cos I'm never on here) but in a shocking ten year long journey and twist of events, I have?? a literary agent?? I'm an agented author?

let's connect on Instagram under my very secret identity (jk it's just my pen name)

beautiful end to the con, sad I missed it.
Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.

if anyone thinks, "wow, she's getting a lot of tattoos lately," just know it is excellent to spend some time being stabbed by needles and thinking about only that (unable to reflect on state of world during process).

anyway, this guy is how I feel at all other times. his face is a lil bloody rn.

Fun fact, JK—who is English—single-handedly funded the Scotland remain movement during the referendum, and called separatists “bigots”.

She’s the reason there’s no independent Scotland. She throws her money and clout around like she’s fucking Nigel Farage. She’s a billionaire corrupting politics.
It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

I have become much more of a hermit this year (I know! they said it wasn't possible, and yet!) but I have read 16 fantasy novels and I'm in love with books again so I'm still winning. ✨

would love to make a writer bsky account and get involved in that side of the community for solidarity before getting back into the querying trenches after ~6 years later in 2025... maybe once I settle on a pen name...

at a hotel room party at dragoncon 2016 I was invited to through friends.

he was clever, upfront, and had a really cool job which made him seem creative and artsy (I online stalked him on my phone in the hotel bathroom after meeting him and then had to pretend I didn't know what he did already).
Valentine’s Day Special!

is moving to the UK so much more complex than moving to the US or have I just gotten less smart since I did all the US paperwork five years ago

haven't had a Celsius in a while so I bought some and had one today and I've been in fight or flight mode for about five hours now.

my most controversial opinion in 2025 is that Chappell Roan gives me disingenuous vibes... the promotion of AI art, her team allegedly asking a nail artist to work for 'exposure', some of the comments she's made...

go birds (is that the other team playing?)

the lack of integrity so many people have when it comes to the crunch is soooo depressing.
Travis Kelce has weighed in on President Donald Trump attending this year’s Super Bowl.

During a press conference on Wednesday (February 5) ahead of the big game on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end told reporters that he considered Trump’s appearance to be “a great honor.”

feeling guilty because I'm becoming noticeably worse-than-usual this year at keeping up with people/checking in but unfortunately, keeping up with work, making sure my animals are taken care of, & processing the country collapsing is taking literally all of my mental effort.

my most boomer opinion is this new practice also really annoys me because it's not helpful as a method of trigger or content warning, since the word and subject can be assumed right away. it's just performative.
Hey folks, a reminder, please dont use obscuring spellings of things (like using * in place of letters). Some of us have filters set up, and you doing that goes around our filters and block word list, putting stuff on our timelines WE DONT WANT TO SEE.

finished the first fourth wing book because the hype won me over, it was solidly okay—nothing revolutionary but fun escapism into dragons and war that has been a much needed distraction.
