I'm a developmental editor, crocheter, and I bake when I'm stressed. I also love to read (fantasy, romantasy, smut, sci-fi) and have an MFA in creative writing. My family includes a fantastic spouse, a brilliant kid, and two delightful cats.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

Anybody need a (remote) developmental editor or editorial assistant? I specialize in fiction but I can also do creative nonfiction and I'm comfortable with MLA, APA, and CMoS. I've been job hunting for 2 years now and I'm pretty tired. The publishing industry lives in NYC and I can't move there.

In case you were wondering, bananas and applesauce are great substitutes for eggs in baking applications. 1 banana or 1/4 c applesauce per egg. I used @altonbrown.bsky.social recipes for fudge cake and apple spice cake to make my kid's birthday cupcakes this way.

Ok, but he's supposed to be rich? Why didn't he buy a more expensive one? Or, I dunno, decide all the secret service vehicles had to be cyber trucks? It's not like ppl would get mad abt him mandating evs for government transport, right?

You know the worst thing abt lawn culture besides the proliferation of invasive grasses, decimation of pollinators due to pesticides, and the abundance of canadian geese? Every time we have a nice day, someone breaks out a mower when I'm trying to enjoy a nice breeze and some fkn birdsong.

Our representatives and Senators need to be on the floor every day with pictures of the Ukraine dead. 100 Soldiers have been killed because they don't have satellite or radar warning. Ten civilians seriously injured. We betrayed them. The blood is on Felon47's hands. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
