I received book 3 back from my editor. Going over it after a month’s separation I am just so thrilled how this is turning out.
Definitely my best book so far and I CANNOT wait to shove it out into the world for all y’all to read.

Don’t cross picket lines, folks. Get your damned coffee somewhere else.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

I fucking love drunk Las Vegas people.
Standing in the lobby of the 4 Queens, wearing an eye searing Hawaiian shirt, a dragon wing pendant, gothy rings on all my fingers, with a fuckoff huge cocktail in my hand.
Dude walks up to me: “do you work here?”

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I think the only thing I truly miss about the loss of twitter is losing the ability to bitch out a brand in public.

Ok I am having a devil of a time getting book 4 rolling.
It’s not writer’s block so much as it’s having the weight of (waves hand at world) everything to fight through before I can concentrate.
I DEARLY want to release B4 this summer so I will keep fighting.
