VIV 😭 You're killing us!!!

I'm late (things just keep happening, I'm overwhelmed) but omg?? The shirt Kanye was selling on his website!? It's beyond scary that in the year 2025 N4z1s feel empowered to just...be out in the open like that...no repercussions?? And we're just going about our lives?? Like everything is normal???

Thinking about how I'm 50x happier/more fulfilled slingin' ouid🍃 (legally) and focusing on my writing than I EVER was in the 5yrs I worked an office job in my field, which burnt me out so badly I had a full mental breakdown and had to completely pivot my entire life.

Huh. Interesting, isn't it? 😌

Tuxedo Mask was never bitter about his uselessness. He bore it with grace, as I think more men should in life.

I love when I put my playlists on at work and customers compliment my music or ask what song is playing.

Like yes thank u I know I have impeccable taste 😘

I'm posting a snippet. Is posting snippets something we do here? Is that a thing?

Anyway. This is from the prohibition-era New Orleans gangster drama I've been working on. Think enemies to lovers office romance with a morally black twist. 😅

Writers and readers come hither, I want to be friends!

I love my library.

If you've never gotten a library card before, do it now. Even if you don't intend to use it, librarians will need all the support they can get for the foreseeable future.

They're an invaluable community resource of literature and far more.

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.
