Luka’s a golden retriever with a sniper rifle and so much unresolved trauma.
He k1dn@ps his therapist.
Feelings ensue. Bullets fly.
Nobody’s emotionally safe.

Ruthless is coming soon.
Dark MM romance. High heat. Terrible coping.
You in?

I said I would never write a Roscommon because I wasn't funny enough. I guess I'm about to find out if that's true.

I'm not a lawyer and can't offer legal advice. But for anyone in the DC area, it appears citizens arrests are totally legal. And considering we know exactly where Elon and his goons are, and that what they're doing is a felony... Not saying you should. But you COULD.

Got out of the house today and it helped some. I'll be back to work doing edits on Hero Worship tomorrow! Here's a picture of my cat Button to brighten up your feed!

WVU in West Virginia abruptly shut down its GAC clinic, which served adults (it's illegal in WV for minors to get GAC). So I sent them an email. I encourage everyone else to do so. Let them know it hasn't gone unnoticed! #resist #translivesmatter

I feel like today is a good day to share this quote from Xander's book:

"Your refusal to acknowledge my existence doesn't change who I am. It doesn't erase me. I'm here. I'm queer. I look fabulous in heels. And I don't need your fucking approval."
