#axecon Feels like cognitive whiplash going from Alice Wong telling everybody "100% accessibility is bullshit" in the kickoff keynote speech to Deque's founder Preety Kumar touting advancements in automated accessibility in the very next presentation.

*screams into the void*

If you need a break from being traumatized in real life, might I suggest being traumatized by @rfkuang.bsky.social? Just finished the last Poppy War book and will need several moments to recover. Highly recommend

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I’m so sad I didn’t try perler beads until now. Kid and I impulse-bought some and have been having the best time

Someone tell me what to read next please 🙏

This book was recommended to me ages ago by a friend and I have no excuse for why it took me so long to read it. A mystery around the shady side of online dating, it has a good amount of turns and a lot of cynicism for folks tired of swiping. And the sequel just came out!

Someday I won’t cough when I move and I can resume being human-ish. Today is not that day 😷

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

i'm about to say something crazy, but you know what? use as many em dashes as you want. sounds like a problem for your editor and not you.

Second read of the year. Fast-paced with solid small-town vibes. If I ever meet that uncle, 🥊

Idk why I let this sit on my tbr for so long. Such a good (but depressing) first read of the year

I don’t know what the fuck to even post on these apps anymore 😭😂

Update: I lied. All roads lead back to Stardew Valley.

I’m fine. Totally fine. Absolutely nothing to see here. Nope, def not on the verge of screaming and breaking down at any moment. Absolutely not. 😎

So, um, it’s been a minute. Hope everyone is surviving out here 💜

#authors of Bluesky, what are you writing lately? In the midst of setting up my presence here, I'm currently drafting a cozy novel inspired by games like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon. #amwriting #writerslife

About to need a new book to read. Recommendations? Preferably something sci-fi this time around 📚 👀

Mood. #author #comics

It’s so weird how deleting tiktok from my iPad turned into me finishing a book this weekend. Surely those two things aren’t connected 😭 📚 👀

Even after ten years, my cat is still deeply concerned about my safety when I shower and I love her for it

I don’t really mind going to the dentist. It’s waiting an eternity for the novocaine to wear off that drives me batty

I’ve been so tired this last week that every time I try to finish a book that I’m genuinely enjoying, I end up passing out 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve been up since 2:30 and really have nothing to say so here’s a pic of my cat

I slept for nine hours last night and my brain is so confused 😭

#authors 📚👀

Narrator: She did not bury herself in a book. She fell asleep ten pages in and didn’t even turn her kindle off first 🤦🏻‍♀️ (like I said, rough day 😅)

Rough day but tomorrow is Friday and I’m off to bury myself in a book 📚 👀

Happy fourth

Watching my kid start to really play video games fills my heart with joy 🥹

Was planning on hitting my tbr after finishing A Deadly Education, but after that ending I gotta go straight to the second book. Starting The Last Graduate now 📚👀

New social media. Must introduce my cat. This is Boo. He's a giant baby.

First day here so please enjoy this photo of my cat
