This is Fabio. He loves to wave hello to everyone on his walks. 12/10

This is Ralph. His body composition is approximately 40% ear. But that does not mean he wants to listen to your podcast. 12/10 (IG: ralph_kd0821)

I know it’s only February, but I can already tell my favorite purchase of 2025 is going to be my walking pad. So nice for those of us chained to our desks!

Publisher storm warnings (a thread) 🧵 For possible Writer Beware blog posts, I'm gathering info on several publishers following complaints shared with me, news coverage, and online reports. If you have experience w/ any of these, pls contact me (in confidence) [email protected] Okay, here goes...1/5

I’m starting a fresh attic notebook tomorrow morning! What’s an attic notebook? Check it out: medium.com/@laini.taylo...

Strength training is so fun. I feel like I’m in a video game and watching my strength bar fill up lol

When you read "anti-immigrant" I want you to hear "Going after anyone who isn't white" because THAT is what they mean, and that is who they are after.

I wrote a blog post about what happens when the creative doldrums swallow you whole and how to get out of it: sandhyamenon.com/blog I’ve had a tough couple of mental health years and am hoping this can help someone out there going through similar. 💖 #booksky

Rewatching Mismatched on Netflix. Such a cute adaptation of @sandhyamenon.bsky.social 'When Dimple met Rishi.'

I’m a bit late sharing this, but I’m so thrilled and honored to have When Dimple Met Rishi be one of Parade Magazine’s best YA of all time!! 🤯 I’m in such exceptional company and totally humbled 🥲 parade.com/books/best-r...

🤣 Gonna ask my supposedly loving yogi of a wealthy white neighbor if she’s gonna be pitching in since her whole reason for voting for him was FOOD PRICES. Pick those strawberries so your child can eat, Linda! Pick them!

When she’s right she’s right

It’s so important for ethnic minorities to find others like us, especially those of us who live in super-white cities. I found an Asian dentist and an Asian vet and even though we don’t share an ethnicity, it’s so comforting and easy. I don’t ever feel judged/looked at askance for being brown. ♥️

One day I'll write a magnum opus of a blog post on mental health and writing. It can hit out of a bright, clear sky and totally incapacitate. I was writing two books a year and then had to take three years off because literally NOTHING would come out of my brain. We need to normalize this shit.

So sad when Desis support Trump. Like, dude, do you really think this party won’t throw you under the bus at the first opportunity? Don’t you have any self-respect? 😒

Anybody have a burning writing or publishing question? I used to do #TenThings threads on Twitter where I'd spend 10 posts answering a question about writing or publishing. And I am currently procrastinating on this edit, sooooo. Caveat: I haven't queried since 2010, so my knowledge is out of date.

Anyone have any suggestions for paranormal or witchy Christmas/Yule/winter time stories? I’ve seen so many contemporary recommendations. I already read and loved The Wedding Witch! #booksky
