the more popular this site gets the less i see people using the pronoun labeler, so here's a reminder that it exists! @pronouns.adorable.mom highly recommended to at least subscribe to be able to see everyone else's labels even if you don't want to set them for yourself

Last week was Health Crud Hell, and this week my foolish ass decided it would be a good idea to get my flu shot and my covid shot at the same time. Mistakes were made. Send help.

It is truly hard to overstate how good an ice pack strapped tight across the eyes and forehead feels when I have a migraine

We are struggling, and it really sucks to post in the new year, but we do what we have to do. Thank you for taking the time to signal boost, donate, or even just reading.

Self, if you could not accidentally drop-kick your phone the room, your nerves would appreciate it, good lord

Look what arrived in the mail today! It's the incomparable @ninocipri.bsky.social's latest book!! Reading it will be my reward for finishing this current editing protect. 😍😍😍

Y'all know what's incredibly gross and unprofessional? An acquisitions editor at a industry-darling publisher publicly trashing readers for liking something different than what the editor likes.

Whatever sadistic entity decided 4-day migraines should be physically possible needs to be fired, like, yesterday. I am running out of ice packs and T3s. Also, weather-reactive health issues: WHY IS THIS EVEN A THING.

My brain-break from work lately is to slowly catch up on the final seasons of #CriminalMinds after all these years, and I gotta say, I am not minding Daniel Henney's addition to the cast one tiny bit.

Friends, this is your regular reminder that if you are feeling really unwell, you need to TELL SOMEBODY. Don't just lie on the floor for hours, hoping someone in the house will wake up and come across you and call you an ambulance. This PSA brought to you by the shit day I absolutely didn't need.

Assuming all invoices get paid, the auction raised $13,422.37!!! Thank you everybody, not to get all gross and earnest on main, but the response to the auction from bidders and item donors put some actual fucking tears in my eyes and some healing on my heart. Thank you thank you thank you everybody.

Here's the thing about trans people and echo chambers: We don't have 'em. We're all experts on the anti-trans side, their arguments, their petty bigotries. The same is not true in reverse.

The original owner is meeee. There's a story here if the winner ever wants to know, but this necklace-crown has been longing to find its person for awhile now. It's always spoken to me of identity and belonging, of finding your place or missing parts. It deserves to be shown off. Are you its person?

Holy heck, so many new people! I don't know what popular starter pack I wound up on, but HELLO STRANGERS. I'm a queer, nonbinary nerd with autism, ADHD, and a bunch of disabilities. I'm a freelance book editor as my day job. My social media content is a mix of personal, professional, and profane. 🤘🏳️‍🌈

Hey, so I don't know if a lovely, tender story about four queer friends taking care of each other as they traverse a near-future, collapsing America sounds like something you'd be interested in. But maybe @sarahgailey.bsky.social's HAVE YOU EATEN is just what you need? www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

New book alert: The Emilie Adventures, which is a revised compilation of the two out of print YA novels I wrote in 2013-2014, is up for preorder from Tordotcom: bookshop.org/p/books/the-... They're also available in audiobook from Recorded Books, narrated by Channie Waites. #booksky

Supporting queer creators in the US is one way to say FUCK YOU to what's happening there right now. Also, you get cool stories. Win/win.

This this THIS

This week: One client project down, one more to go! Victory cookie pour moi! Also I have a raging ear infection that feels like I'm being stabbed in the face. So tragedy cookie pour moi too. Basically I just deserve cookies. #AmEditing

I'm so confused. Someone rang our doorbell just now, at 1:40am, left two cans of pop in a plastic bag on our front step, and ran away. Is this the new way to do doorbell pranks?? Do the youths leave apology snacks now?? Note to neighbourhood kids: I request Snickers next time.

"My first memory is of 9/11. I've lived through endless war, two economic collapses, and the return of actual Nazis. So this 'worst world ever' thing you see? It's the only world I've ever known. I'm not scared. I'm kinda ready to kick it in the junk." 💜 #LeverageRedemption

Truly do not understand how anyone could have watched even the first episode of #AgathaAllAlong and come away thinking it was anything but extremely queer. 😂

Dear hands: I am on a deadline for this client book. Now is not the time for you both to go numb on me. I still need to be able to type, okay? #AmEditing #Disability

RIP Abby (AKA Abbus Doggus, Professor of Bork AKA noodle AKA bean AKA nugget AKA best girl in the whole world), 2005(?)–2024. She loved, and was loved, so fiercely.

good morning to everyone out there but especially to the hang in there kitten from the poster

My dog is really not okay and I got woken up by the washing machine flooding the basement how is everyone else's 3am going

Props to my neighbour, who is sunbathing in 11°C/52°F weather by lying on the roof of his shitty car in starfish pose and blaring Cardi B's "WAP" for all of us to nod along to on this fine turkey day weekend
