I don’t know how I can have such a low opinion of humanity as a whole and yet still be such an optimist at heart.
I think this might be what coming out of cognitive dissonance feels like.

As a society, we regularly call women “girls” (girl boss, girl power). So why do we call girls “underage women” when they’ve been SA’d? Oh, yeah. Misogyny.
And yes, this has everything to do with the reporting on the Epstein files.

Between Bridgerton and Heated Rivalry, “cottage core” is taking on a whole new meaning. 🤭
I’m loving all the reactions from the people who haven’t read the Bridgerton books and are just now finding out that Benedict *also* has a cottage…

Off to add “Teller of Fortunes” to my bio.
Just read some of my BlueSky posts from this time last year and wow! Either I’m a fantastic fortune teller or this was all so easy to predict. (It’s the first one, obviously.)

When I die, I want my family to donate a bench to a local park. I can’t decide if I want the plaque to read “Rest in Peace (but not for too long)” or “I died so you could sit here.”

Sweet, young cashier, admiring the shirt I’m buying: This is so cute! It reminds me of the early 2000s. You know, vintage!

Scrolling my social media feed right now feels like watching the final season of a show called Democracy in the USA, and I’m just wondering if we’re gonna get a Game of Thrones finale or a Schitt’s Creek one.

Travis Kelce must be feeling like the king of the world right now. Turns out Taylor’s love songs are even better than her break up songs. 😆

I need to stop telling people I don’t like horror when one of my favorite genres is the scariest of all of them: dystopian fiction.

Writing a query letter for a novel is like being stuck in a roundabout with no exits.
Agents: How is your book exciting/fresh/completely unique but also what are some comparable titles so we know it will sell?
Sigh.

You can’t report an error on Google Maps anymore, but you still can on Apple Maps if you feel so inclined. The erasure of POC is never a “minor” issue as some are claiming. ✊🏻

Watching the scene in Severance last night when Devon accuses Ricken of changing his writing to make money rather than sticking with what he believes in, and I felt that in my *bones*. Stay true to your art or pay the bills is a crappy dilemma for any artist to be in. Even Ricken. :D
