Writer. Research junkie. Cat rescuer. Patron of the arts. Someone who never, ever walks by the color purple in a field somewhere without noticing it.
I wouldn’t let a stranger talk to me the way I talk to my cats. That weird secret language and those crazy voices would drive me fucking nuts.

Protesting? Be careful.

If you're thinking about heading to a "50 States" demonstration at your state capitol Feb. 5, be careful. So much is unknown about this viral campaign. If you go, follow standard protective methods via Google or attached graphic!

Good luck. We need to protest ... wisely.

It’s wine o’clock on a Caturday; the regular crowd shuffles in.

If The Nutcracker took place at my house, there would be a scene where the catnip mice do battle with the dust bunnies.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Does this bed make me look like a tart?

Dumb things I’ve done before coffee: sprinkle cinnamon on the cat food. 😩

I'm really kind of shocked that no one contacted me to ask if I would bottle-feed this kitten. 😹

I got a new fleecy blanket for myself, but it's Gilligan's new favorite thing.

This is me, trying to get a handle on my post-election stress eating.

What’s your favorite keyboard shortcut?

Mine is Windows Key + L. It prevents the cats from opening tabs, sending DMs, and googling random strings of letters. It does NOT prevent them from making 10 failed PIN attempts.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."

That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.

There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Hi Bluesky! I have to get started somehow, so I’m going to introduce you to my five cats.
This is Gilligan, my foster fail. He was abandoned on the street with a broken foot, in a GA county with a high-kill shelter. #FosteringSavesLives

I'm here! Hoping to reconnect with the old Twitter crowd (I refuse to call it X). Writing colleagues, I'm hoping to reconnect here.
