One thing I love about being in the writing community is all the books I discover to pre-order that then magically show up on my doorstep months later. It's like I'm curating my own subscription box!

A small group of constituents went to John Cornyn's office in Dallas to express our opinion on the vote for Vought, and ask him to vote no. We were refused entry, door locked, and they refused to let us sign their visitors log.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.

How are we doing with our New Year’s resolutions? Because I wanted to eat more nutritionally and today I had a handful of M&Ms for breakfast and my toddler’s leftover cheese toast for lunch πŸ‘πŸ»

Pro tip: if a woman is holding a sword, don’t mansplain how to use a sword ESPECIALLY if you have never used a sword before.

If I finish this paper for work, I can work on my book…. And yet,

Lugh, with his hound Failinis, or my take on them... #myth #sculpture #lugh

I fell down a history rabbit hole again but, how crazy is it that the Duchy of Pomerania only became Christian in the 12th century!? and the GD of Lithuania only in 1387!? Like, that's so late!! 🀯 For context, the Irish and the Franks converted in the 400s.

I thought we weren't going to tolerate this kind of hate speech on bluesky

I've taken the week off from writing after finishing my revisions to focus on the new day job and how is it possible that I feel so guilty and like such a lazy POS over it??

Imagine being in medieval times, about to go into battle, when you realize you forgot your headphones
