Big shout out to @heliumcomedyind.bsky.social for hosting @titusnation.bsky.social last night!

This man's humor and honesty have helped drive me to be who and where I am: the punk princess of indie publishing!

Some maps just need to be drawn by hand! (I'm doing this one in Bamboo Paper on my Chromebook.)

Have you mapped your world's sky? #worldbuilding #WorldAnvil #SkyMap

It's #BarkBoxDay, and someone is jealous AF about fur-sister's new box. Didn't even wait for me to remove the insert.

Zero surprises on this wrapped. Sums up my year quite well, I think.

It's finally here!

Did I buy @amahnke.bsky.social's new book the day it went on pre-sale? Yes.

Did I pay extra to have it gift-wrapped to myself? Also yes.

If there is one writer I want to be like, It's Kurt Vonnegut. Duh. Second, is Aaron.
