New Crow Time [1/5] This, too, is yaoi...

I made a cute headphone with @jaceandjudy.bsky.social! If you keep accidentally sitting on my headphones like me and need corvid decoration, check these out! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 jaceandjudy.com/collections/... 💜💜💜💜💜

Hahaha, I am so done with Adobe. My monthly plan goes to $70 starting next month. I have until mid-July to decide if my alternatives are viable. I have Adobe through my day job now, so moving my personal stuff shouldn’t be too big. The only reason I kept it so long was I was using it for work.

More than 4,000 turned out to the No Kings protest in Lancaster, event organizers announced during the rally. These are some of the photos from @savvyliterate.com and more are on PennLive.com

I will be covering the Lancaster and Harrisburg rallies. I will be joined by @joshuapvaughn.bsky.social in covering the Harrisburg rally. We will be going live from the PennLive account on YouTube from both rallies.

Working on a cute banner for the Tapas version of the comic, i'm not sure if the tombstone text should be "Welp" or "Oh no!"

My favourite Brian Wilson story was when Bono kneeled at his feet backstage & waxed lyrical about his influence, the power of music, transcendent, etc. After several minutes of this he interrupted Bono by saying “Say, could you go get me a Coke?” (In fairness, he apparently did)

The Beach Boys were considered a joke when I was growing up. Now I respect the hell out of Brian Wilson thanks to @andrewhickey.500songs.com's "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs." I am very glad he is at peace. Thank you, Brian, for everything.

It’s hot in the Western WA area, here is my gift to you: www.seriouseats.com/bukkake-udon...

White Center Pride in Seattle has become my favorite pride festival over the last couple of years. Defy does a pride show and Ravenous Randy held the Pride title this year! I managed to get him this copy for his prize. If you’d like a copy here’s your link: www.etsy.com/listing/1807...

Happy World Ocean Day 🐠🦈🐟 #worldoceansday #shark

Guess who wound up shooting a press conference with a manual focus astrophotography lens because she's a dingdong? This chick!

Sorry, therapist. It's day 1 of Pride, and the performative Facebook posts are sending me. I'll do better in July when it's Wrath month.

Making some stuff!

Just to be clear: I reclaimed my rights back when Unbound missed the first payment, over a year ago. Unbound owe me a lot of money, but I am finalizing my direct contract with my US publisher, and current royalties WILL be paid to me. I didn't ask anyone to stop buying my books. Don't spread this.

I'm a journalist and even I'm livid at the blatant spoilers for the Doctor Who finale being right there in headlines where people can't avoid it. Come on, give people at least 24 hours to watch. This is just off-putting.

I had a great MCAF except for one thing: someone put a tracker on my car on the final day of the festival to mark it for future theft. I was texting with my husband after the con when I got an alert from Apple that an unregistered device was found moving with me. I pulled it up and spotted this. 🧵

Yup, 1000% accurate. Our table was in front of a shop that sold fresh brownies along with the hot chocolate. There was also a crane game/arcade place I ducked into. The folks inside had carts piled high with prizes they won and feral looks in their eyes if you glanced their way. I fled quickly.
