We’re Almost There — Just $200 to Go!

Tomorrow morning, I’ll be making the final payment by phone to close out my shed account. Jordan advanced me the money while we wait for it to process. I’m just $200 away.

’ve been working every day at the cherry stand, sewing late into the night, and putting everything I have into this dream.

Now I’m 2 days from my deadline and $715 away. GoFundMe takes a couple of days to transfer funds, so today makes the biggest difference. gofund.me/dab2a95d

Ever run out of gas… in the left lane of I-405 during rush hour?That was us this morning on the way to Worldcon; flashers on, traffic flying by, praying we wouldn’t get hit. A kind stranger turned around, and came back to help: I could’ve been his grandma. 🥹” /1

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

My son launched this on Mother’s Day. I miss being able to sell and use my embroidery machine so much. Any share or help of any kind is so greatly appreciated.!

If you're one of those who thinks it isn't going to be that bad, go read the first 16 pages of project 2025. I'm so tired of being told I'm overreacting

Good morning, internet! We are walking wounded today and I at least have a hangover, but the world does not stop and I have to go be earnest and funny at a bookstore. Which is not so hard right now, actually. We gotta laugh so we don’t start screaming.

I do think there’s something fun about having to make a site what you want it to be as opposed to arriving at one that’s already sorted out. And I’m excited for the added features that will eventually land here and the way this will look months or a year from now.

My dearest authors. I really think you should post links to pre-order/order your books every time you talk about your book. Do not assume people will click on your bio. Do not assume people already know. My mentions are full of people telling me about books but not providing links. Help!

As many people seem to be joining, hello! I’m a TV critic and broadcaster. I write and report on this industry and the way it influences our lives and I let you know when a good show is on.

Someone described my feed as “Reuters, but TV and very gay” and it sums it up very well.
