I mean, has everyone checked their Signal app? He might have accidentally shared the top secret reason with you.

I drew a little something in Procreate to capture how I’m feeling. Obviously needs like three more waves but this captures the gist…

Ran into a troll in Issaquah.

It’s right behind me, isn’t it …

A shame these trolls didn’t exist when I was writing Finn Fancy Necromancy. Maybe I can work them into a future novel.

Had a blast going with friends to WET LEG last night (with awesome opening act Mary in the Junkyard). Pre-show hangout at the Pine Box, a former mortuary turned bar/ pizza restaurant. #wetleg

I LOVE getting fun surprises in my mail and email, not just junk, especially when news and social feeds are so doomscrolly.

If you could use fun and creativity in your inbox, definitely subscribe to Emily Skaftun's Patreon to get her weekly postcard fiction:

Saw Chuck Tingle on Wednesday. Fun, funny, and full of love and positivity as always.

His are the only horror novel readings I’ve been to, but I assume all horror novel readings are full of sparkle and energy and laughter and love, right? ;p

FIRST: I love that Washington's Secretary of State Steve Hobbs is a D&D player/GM who goes by "Happy Tracker Meow Meow."

SECOND: I love that he and UW professor Jin Ha Lee are advocating ways games can be used to train folks to battle misinformation.

Find out how Dungeon and Dragons could save the nation. With lies on social media traveling faster than reason, could this nerdy role playing game be the answer to combating disinformation?

What's in the Trump/GOP big, ugly bill?

-Tax cuts skewed to the rich
-Medicaid & SNAP cuts
-Public land sell off
-Big Oil tax loopholes
-Blocks state and local regulation against AI
-More money for defense contractors

The oligarchy's wishlist.

Selena Gomez flavored Oreos?!

I know there was that whole Gweneth Paltrow’s V-scented candle.

And I realize people love Yellowjackets and Hannibal and I-Zombie and all.

But this just seems a bad idea to me. I mean, what if they get “the hunger”?!

I love that people are reportedly glitter bombing a certain group of masked kidnappers so that they are identifiable without their masks. Can’t get rid of glitter! The power of sparkle!

It’s amazing how many chores I find suddenly interesting and urgent when I need to write a difficult emotional scene.

A current influencer trend claims em-dashes are "chaptGPT dashes" and prove AI writing, and --

YOU CANNOT HAVE MY EM-DASHES!

I don't write with AI, but I DO use 527,362 em-dashes per novel. They come direct from my soul, they FEEL right -- something AI could never understand.

DoorDash is part preview of a world with replicators. Order whatever meal you want at home and zap it’s there, ready. How does anyone in Star Trek fit in their uniforms? Also computer, stop suggesting I add Dairy Queen. I said Earl Grey, hot, and I meant i… oh, fine, and one Peanut Buster Parfait.

Wonderful weekend at #Norwescon. Thanks everyone who came to my reading! So good to catch up with so many friends at the con. And thank you to the Norwescon volunteers for all your hard work and passion.

I’m sure Trump and his friends didn’t bet against the market and plan to buy up all the foreclosed real estate (or whatever finance bros do to profit on the suffering of others) before he put his plan in motion.

Blue Horseshoe likes all those stocks Tariffs are tanking.

I love what Cory Booker did. I just wish I hadn’t woken up to multiple fundraising emails with the same copy/paste statement from him. It feels like it cheapened it.

How cool would it have been to get emails from him saying “Here’s ten ways you can join the fight” that weren’t about donations?

Operation Bomb Atlantis is a go for 16:30. POTUS says he saw on TV that they plan to destroy the surface world. Also, he doesn’t like anything named the Atlantic right now. So just … drop some big bombs in the sea and film the explosions.

Wait, “Bluesky” is the Air Force secure #Signal chat right?

I ate something dodgy from the food truck and dreamed up “TOTAL Agile!”

Maybe I should start an overpriced certification institute for it!
