I once heard somebody say that Lucky Charms are just proof of how much dry cat food children are willing to eat to get half a handful of marshmallows and I think about that a lot

Fun fact: Microsoft Teams is actually the Hellraiser cube for desktop.

Pope Francis has died this morning at the age of 88. His final message, on Easter Sunday, called for an end to “deplorable” violence in Gaza, Sudan and around the world www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

ADHD thought this morning: If I can't finish a coherent thought, how the hell can I finish a coherent novel? #adhd #amwriting #impostersyndrome

Allergy season is definitely in full swing here! I can't seem to stop sneezing today!

Today we march—nationwide! Join us and make some good trouble!

This year I’m gonna practice channeling my inner canadian goose (the bird in the picture)

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

MY DOG'S VET: who's a good boy? who's the handsomest boy? do you want a cookie? does the handsome good boy want a cookie? does the handsomest best boy ever want a cookie? MY DOCTOR: you look fatter and paler than I remember, sit down

Jenn is wise.

Honestly if you think losing one little hour of sleep to daylight savings is enough to ruin my weekend you are absolutely right I hate it here

Just a cat and books. #cats #books

Reminder that today is an economic blackout. Don't buy from chains or big box stores! However! You are still encouraged to shop at local and small businesses, and you can, of course, still buy medicine, food and emergency supplies. Good explainer here: www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

Aaaaand I just drank paint water. Again. Oops. #art #painting

The hubby is putting brand new shower heads on both our showers today and I cannot be more excited to test them out. Being an adult is wild.

When I start writing for the day my husband always giggles at me because I light a candle for "ambiance." But seriously, it soothes me to have a candle going on my desk in my office while I get some wording in. #amwriting

So much for vacuuming. I guess I’ll just have to write instead since my means of procrastinating has been thwarted . #cats #amwriting

Listen, just because I'm a writer doesn't mean I am ANY good at writing a synopsis to tell you what my story is about. Just... please don't ask me to do that. Please. #amwriting

I’m trying to write. They’re whining behind me for treats. #cats #dogs #amwriting

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Having one of those days where I absolutely do not have it in me to deal with stupid people. Not even a little bit. No.

A lot of us have been socialized into swallowing our anger and being "civil." (That's not always wrong.) But a lot of us also had no choice but to push back, because laying low and being "civil" wasn't an option. And right now? That's all of us. Go make a scene.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #25911: Don’t beat yourself up if you’re having an off day. Some days, the dream machine doesn’t work. That doesn’t mean it’s broken.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Doooooom!

Remember, calories don’t count during Super Bowl weekend or during a steady and inevitable descent into madness so

What I should be doing: Writing What I AM doing: Reworking my WIP's playlist for the umpteenth time this week. There are just sooo many good songs... how does one ever write without good music? #amwriting #sortof

I think I'm well over 50 for how many times I've told the cat to shut up this morning. I love that lil brat, but OMG, Tilly... its 7am.

Just two besties chillin’ #cats #dogs

It feels so damn good to use the word "indubitably" in a sentence. *adjusts monocle* #amwriting

I have an easel in my office for painting but instead of ACTUALLY using it to paint I keep a copy of Stephen King’s On Writing on it to remind myself to use my time for writing instead. #amwriting

Just a cat in love with her heated blanket. #cats

#USDemocracy When he was running for co-president, his only platform was freedom of speech.

Okay, I'll stop procrastinating and getting distracted at 9:00am and start writing. <-- Anyone else play that game? Its a dangerous one... what if I find a string of videos I absolutely NEED to watch at 8:58am? #amwriting #wellamwritingsoon
