That's one sexy pantry! Do you have enough chili powder?
Bold of them to admit that out loud, in public.
Here's the message I sent in You ABSOLUTELY are welcome to copy/paste or use it as a jumping off point Let them know we don't need this kind of "help"! 3/🧵
#Romancelandia, these policies bleed into our words, so yeah, we've got to push back against any kind if censorship, this is an excellent explainer why.
Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.
They absolutely do!!!
One day, one hour, ten gotdanged minutes at a time!
You're doing the best you can with what you've got and no one can ask for anything more! ...and if they do, you send them to me, I'll deal with them for you. *cracks knuckles*
Sometimes touching grass means watering your plants and admiring your blooms and sometimes it means getting medieval on a bunch of invasive weeds and feeling a lot better after putting them in their place (the yard waste bin).

I'm not gonna give him the clicks but she's a gosh-darned delight online, so pouring one out for her!
I miss my Gram! Oh, the trips to the bank to get those darned things so we could take a Big Trip! Her trying to convince people in Italy they were Real Money! Oh, the times we had!!! Those were good times, I tell you!
It really is. I think I met her once in person, years ago? Just just a loss.
Oh, two things can be true-- I knew this was coming, the last update was not great and also... This is breaking my heart all over again.
For everyone who knows Isobel Carr and may not have heard, per a blog entry by author Carolyn Jewel, Isobel has been battling cancer and her doctors have told her she has very limited time, perhaps a week. Please read the blog post, linked in the quoted post.
I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.
As someone with a mild gluten intolerance, I am extremly happy for you--and your pocketbook!
Sounds like solid computing to me! Ha!
The comforter-- IT HUNGERS.
Do I know who this lady is? No. Do I know who Bruce is? Also No! I sure hope ol' Bruce is doing okay! And I hope whoever got that text did not also have a heart attack! Because WTF, man!?!?!?
So yesterday we went to see a local play and when they said, "TURN OFF YOUR PHONES" the lady next to us opened up her texts to 120% font, texted, "BRUCE HAD A HEART ATTACK, AT PLAY 🤗" and *then shut her phone off* hand to God, I thought I was having an out-of-body experience, Premee!
GOLD STAR for cupcakes, GOLD STAR for prepping and GOLD STAR for winning freezer tetris!
I love this for you!
I think this is appropriate?* *legit not sure!
Finishing a novella and seeing @hornedlarkpress.com is closed until next year? The days are long but the years are short!!!
D. All of the Above?
Just wrote a line that gave me chills. Ah, that's the good stuff. Let's see some soulless AI do that, eh?
GOLD STAR for following the process and another GOLD STAR for a new story! *muppet flail of excitement!*
I think Steve is probably flipping off MR PRESIDENT with his central bean right here, don't you? BEAN THIS!
It's so hard. It's so danged hard. But you're doing a great job and I'm so proud of you! GOLD STAR!
HEHEHEHE. I leave short stories hanging! Horror remains unfinished! This is no Tingler!
It all counts!
I WON YARN CHICKEN!!! It's the little things, people. WHOOHOOOO!!!
That's the start of a horror story. "Frost me" from an unknown number. "Wha?" and then I noticed the strange glow from the kitchen. "FROST ME" the phone demanded. Then I heard a clunk.
Gold Star!
ABOUT WHAT?!?!?! This was, excepting international travel (they didn't leave the country) my in-laws. "We just got back from Florida! And your father is recovering well from surgery!" HUH???
Before I moved my mom up to be, essentially, my neighbor, this was my every day. Now, with me in charge of elder care, every day, and on-call 24/7? I legit do not know which is better and which is worse!
Sticking with Alanis! And her messy 90s dating drama FTW!
I'm trying not to hold my breath, but... I THINK y'all just about saved my family?? We are SO CLOSE to the goal now, and for the first time in 2 months I feel a little hope? ❤️🩹🙏🥹 THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT!! Please keep sharing if you can? It truly means the world to us.
At least (she said, trying to cope with everything old being new again) they haven't started perming the mullets yet. Yet.
GOLD STAR to Jack Jack for catching & noshing upon a chipmunk (or ground squirrel, depending on where you're from) in a redemption of his shoddy hunting instincts! And GOLD STAR to me for not tossing my cookies as I removed...parts of said critter from the bloodied jaws of a very pleased beagle!
I got one! YAH!
And, she would want me to tell you, ON CONSTITUTION DAY, NO LESS!r the former MO state history teacher of the year is DONE WITH THIS SHIT.
Okay! That's enough current events for me today. I'm logging back out so I can go finish a story where mothers and daughters and one very angry forest team up to deal w/a bad man who has done them, the land and people great harm and really, there's only one way to a happy ending here, isn't there?
We are saying lots and lots of things in her living room but very little online let me tell you. This is just the tip of the Big Mad Old Lady iceberg!
She's so mad. She'd switched to ABC news after NBC pushed Lester Holt out and now she's got to find someone new to watch? OH SHE IS BIG MAD do you know how mad an 83 yr old has to be to switch news anchors???
We moved my mom's ancient things (at least? 25 years old?) up with her almost 7 years ago because they didn't add resale value to the house and they just keep trucking! I think my FIL finally replaced the 40+ yr old washer he had to turn on with vice grips, tho.
Her money manager had recommended selling it a year or so ago, but she held on, because "Disney is gold!" just a solid stock, her safe hold, right? HA HA NOT ANYMORE!
Hey guys? Remember I said my mom was going to be FURIOUS about then Kimmel thing? She sold all her Disney stock. So. That's how it's going.
And there it is! Sadder! Weirder!! It'll get funnier again, but as promised!!!
OTTER knows QUALITY is better than quantity! OTTER values EXPERIENCES over THINGS! OTTER probably has TRAVEL BLOG, may be FAMOUS.
The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515
Living that Salonpas life today! #IFKYK
Bodies! The worst!!!
In these interesting times? No wonder!!!!
Yes, this is it entirely. The shit they say and get away with! Gotta protect that! But still. Broken clocks, etc. Just the WEIRDEST timeline?
Xp Lee, a Democrat, has won today's special election for a state House seat in Minnesota. He will replace Melissa Hortman, the lawmaker and former Speaker who was assassinated in June. The Star Tribune reports on Lee's victory:
The irony! THE IRONY!
My mother (83) is going to be FURIOUS.
BWHAHAHAAHAHA! Because they did!
Same, girl, same. *clinks electrolytes* CHEERS.
I'm so sorry, darling. Take what time you can now, k?
Yeah, that's a scream-in-the-car moment, for sure.
a *lot* of anti trans shit coming from the house toward the FY26 bill & i can’t tell you how much it matters for a lot of people to tell dem senators—amidst the week’s jenga tower of moral panics—not to compromise & that trans people are worth fighting for. info & script in the QT ⬇️⬇️ please call!
NOOOO
SCAM ALERT: If by chance you get contacted by a group advertising themselves as the “Crazy Old Bats Book Club” who would like to charge you for reading your book in their book club, and who claim I am one of the Satisfied Authors, and furthermore give you an email address for me—it’s not me.
THE BATTLE OF THE CHOWDAH!

HAPPY RELEASE DAY CESAR!!! Woke up late but had to do a little photo shoot to celebrate release day! The Golden Boy’s Guide to Bipolar is finally out in the world and I couldn’t be more proud 🥰
Yeah, if you're gonna put "no hookers" in your bio I'm just gonna block you. In this house, we respect sex workers, they are always, always the canaries in the coal mine.
The terrible, terrible things that kitten would do for your aged ham, no doubt!
BwahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Right?
OH MY GOSH every time I see that commercial I'm like, GET SOME FRIENDS YOU LOSER! Talk to a human! ANY HUMAN!
For the first time ever, I got a request! Super excited!! You're doing amazing! GOLD STAR!!!
True to form, the Mr. is indeed a 50+ man! Maybe that's got something to do with it? Ha!!
Even my Mr. is enjoying it and he normally only listens to The Economist, so you know it's good!
I'm listening to Trouble Wore Red and it's a sci-fi noir delight!
"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.
Well I am not making what anyone would consider "money" but also I detest marketing and the such so I can help with short form writing and you can let me know what you find out about selling it? Deal?
Or make it weird! Or be super traditional! Like rules, smooles! Might help to read some short fic, though. A fun little brain break! Low commitment!
I'm in the middle of finishing a novella, like as we speak (please please let this novella finish! before it accidentally becomes a novel!!) It's a fun challenge to write short, a really nice brain break because you can often do it in a day! and play with form! And to hell with backstory!
Hey, you know that you know someone who writes short stories and occasionally gets them published, right? *preens* I can be your accountability partner! we can work on this as crit buddies! I support your life choices!!
I approve!
Only online to look at sunflowers and pet pics!
👀
Ok, this was an attack I did not anticipate today?
Sound on 🐈⬛

This comic is CUTE and AWESOME!
And I didn't even get him into the Musee d'Orsee! Alas! Anyway, my point was it's a lot of fun to admire art like, lookit their faces! but it's also a lot of fun* to be like, the historical context of this says WHAT? *for me, I cannot literally get it to stop, apologies!
"OH MY GOD THAT'S HERE!" "OH MY LORD, we are coming BACK HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT!" (while panting, lol, girlfriend does not run, this was like, dork-walking speed) and my kid got an education, lemme tell you!
Sorry, sorry. I CANNOT HELP MYSELF! I love art! And I love the history in which the art was created!!! When we went to the Louvre, we went early, RAN to the Mona Lisa at top speed so we wouldn't have to wait in line (we were like 15th there?) but as we were going by, I kept shouting...
When we took The Kid to France a few years ago, we did the Centre Pompideu, which is not my cuppa, because I don't love modern art, but! The kid loves history! So we went around explaining how you can see in THIS work the reaction to THIS war, etc etc etc.
Oh hey look! You are LITERALLY right on schedule for surrealism! Which grew out of the shambles after the wholesale destruction of WW1 (aka "the war to end all wars! HAHAHAsobs) and people's inability to enjoy/process art the same way it had been before! History may not repeat, but it rhymes!
Demonstrating the *proper* way to look down your nose at someone, even while sitting!
"Look at her," they whisper, then stare. "Can't even wear a proper napkin on her head! What a silly fool she is!"
Feels right. Snakes everywhere approve this message!
You really are going through it today!
