Our local police department surprised the heck out of me today. So far, only one white guy made an ass out of himself in the comments.

When a little kid comes running up to you for hugs because you're dressed in a costume... Well, the world doesn't seem so bad. We have work to do, yes, but this is what we're fighting for.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

So it stormed last night and I woke up coughing, itching, and my IC was flaring. My air purifier was flashing orange to tell me the air quality was degraded. Is that normal? This is the second time it's happened. Then all was fine an hour later and my purifier was flashing blue (air is fine).

Happy Juneteenth. I took the day off from work to drive to Memphis for a visit to a kid's hospital with my charity costume group and I'm really looking forward to it.

I swear if that Mass Effect series casts a man as Shepard, I'm going to raise hell. It is time for Fem Shep to shine.

It feels like the world is burning, and sometimes I feel like why bother with talking about videosgame and movies I like, but quite honestly I think we all need art and entertainment in our lives, we all need a little whimsy, a little joy, a little fantasy, a little beauty, to keep us striving on.

After playing Clair Obscura: Expedition 33, why doesn't every game have dodge and parry like this game because it's saved me SO many times. I HATE these stupid fights and boss battles, but I am not minding them in this game because they don't feel impossible to survive.

I'm making tacos tonight and I'm really looking forward to having tacos. It's the little things that keep us going. Well, that, and cats.

The joy of watching my 16-year old cat terrorizing my 1-year-old cat. The old girl has still got it. I'm grateful she's so active in her senior years. She's ALWAYS been like this, too. She's the smallest, so I think she has to make sure all the others know that she's also the mightiest. And she is!

Um...my phone is always facedown because I have cats. And it's such a habit that I also do it when I'm not at home.

Me fake planning a trip to Disney World because I don't have the $$$ to real plan a trip to Disney World. But dang it, I'm going to try to do a short trip next year because I need my happy place annually.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

Yesterday gave me some hope and today, I'm allowing myself some joy. Today's 15-minute midday walking workout was to Earth, Wind & Fire, and obviously, I'm PUMPED now.

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.” Yesterday, you were the stars, your compassion, your courage, your pride in standing up for what’s right lit up the darkness. This is the America we believe in. 💚✊

Taylor Swift the cat did not appreciate me dancing around to Taylor Swift the human last night. She's so judgmental (the cat, not the person -- I'm sure the person would've appreciated my sweet moves).

I'm skeptical about Amazon's Mass Effect show. The thing that makes those games great is that you, the player, are given the choice of how to react to things, and then there are the bigger choices that determine who lives and dies. How to capture that immersiveness with a static script? You can't.

Just one day left until the release of my second novel, Blight. If you hate fascism and appreciate gay wizards and eldritch horrors that claw at the shreds of your sanity, perhaps you'll find it as diverting a read as Sabot here does! Pre-order Blight: books2read.com/u/mYVl9P or bppress.ca/shop/

Hundreds of people in Poplar Bluff, Missouri might not seem impressive, but that town is the reddest of the red and it's rural and tiny and people still showed up.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

I'm so proud of everyone today. Millions upon millions all over the world. Which you know will be bigger than that stupid parade.
