My science fiction romance debut is a Read Now on Netgalley this weekend!! If you like anxious princesses, love interests who have been described as Poe Dameron X Flynn Ryder, spaceships with only one bed, fucked up family dynamics, and a dash of spice, PLEASE check out BY THE LIGHT on Netgalley!

I’m generally a pretty pro-abolition gal but I do think teaching your kids the earth is flat should be a crime

literally finishing this show up as i type this, a perfect show i rewatch it every year

this seems like a really good time to remind people that all catholics should stand vehemently against the death penalty. the state does not deserve the power to choose who lives and who dies.

The big dumb man who helps her realize she is strong enough to survive the horrors on her own

as a teacher of queer students, my heart is breaking. just a few weeks ago one of my students had the courage to tell me she's transitioning. the road she is going to walk just got so much harder. these kids are bright and funny and insightful, they are the best of us. and we're punishing them.

still laughing at the trade review that said my book was a "rollicking good time" when the sequel is full of lines like this

Spent all day at a huge book festival and took exactly one picture:

I am so overcome by how positive my first trade review is!! "A rollicking good time!" (As I'm drafting book 2, where no one rollicks or has a good time) www.publishersweekly.com/9798217189304

"i don't wanna stand up against genocide because what if the children of the people committing the genocide get their feefees hurt" BARF go rot in a bog you useless sack of wet cement

another thought on the ed sheeran thing—"i have my own thoughts on genocide but i'm not sharing them" is one of the most blatantly cowardly things i've seen someone say in a hot minute. good artists cannot and should not be apolitical therefore: ed sheeran is not a good artist.

one of the worst people i know has multiple ed sheeran tattoos, so there's that

doing the pronunciation guide for an audiobook really makes me realize how much fun I had coming up with fuck ass Space Names (it gets worse in book 2 trust)

I just realized half-way through that the scene I'm writing right now is just this scene from Arrested Development (but with less flashing)

wow this smut i'm writing was UNPLANNED but we needed a break from The Horrors in this part of the book

Today my nerdy lil kiddo asked me "Mom, what's Lord of the Rings?" The time has come. I have been waiting for this.

As a Marylander, it had to be done. Old Bay lava lamp.

It’s a surreal feeling, holding my book in my hands! (It’s a lot longer than I thought it would be.) My first ARC came and I’m absolutely stunned. It’s a real book! With words and pages and everything!

jd vance is pissing me off so bad it’s making me want to talk about theology on main

"Araceli took the news with the same unshakable decorum she always seemed to possess."

me when i force my friends to become mountain goats fans by proximity

Tim Curry was not the 80-year-old Home Alone 2 cast member we were asking for.

what a terrible day to be gay

i have made all my writing friends watch this movie and i will watch it tonight in memorium. what a legend.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

MY FAVORITE BOOK ABOUT ROBOTS WITH TRAUMA RUNNING A NOODLE RESTURANT IS GETTING A SEQUEL I'M SO HYPEEEE

I am required by my school system to pull my own measles vaccine record to keep on file in case we have an outbreak in our county this year. We had trainings on how to spot measles last year. MEASLES. This shit is disgusting. Vaccinate your fucking kids.

just got my tickets to see angie thomas in conversation with john green at my local book festival my inner precocious teenager's heart is so full right now

i needed to submit my author bio for something but i couldn't find my original document so i had to go on goodreads and copy-paste my own bio from my author page

Just saw a graphic from a groundbreaking study stating that kids who used AI on assignments tended to score better and spend less time on homework, but then do worse on the exams. Wow, if only I had like, a grain of common sense to help me understand this!!

You played the recorder in part to strengthen your fine motor skills and in part to introduce you to basic music theory concepts like rhythm, the C-major scale, and reading basic music notes. Your teachers wanted to make elementary music education available to all, not just the rich.

okay i ordered this for my classroom IMMEDIETLY but also found the ALA website is a treasure trove of classroom posters, please enjoy this one i also definitely bought because my middle schoolers will think it is incredible

“So tired of writing this book,” I think to myself as I check into my job at the writing books factory.

Unironically just rated the first Warrior Cats book 4 stars on StoryGraph after finishing it with my son, those books still go so hard twenty years later and I'm not afraid to say it!!

Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

Do not call a hot dog a “glizzy” to me. Cease and desist. You are 38
