Cassandra

I hate losing a whole day to a headache. It took until about 7 tonight to finally feel like a human again

We've had teens with no costumes and just a backpack come to our door. They get candy. I bought the candy to give out. I'm going to give out the candy. I'm an adult. I can go buy my own candy if I want.

I sort of oopsied into working at BioWare years ago. It probably changed the directory of my life for good or bad. It’s very bittersweet to see what came of it but I will always be grateful for the people I met there.

We're excited to share the line-up for our upcoming Jurassic Ghosts anthology, edited & curated by Halli Reid. It's truly a dino-mite bunch! *bows* William Adcock @paintingmoreorcs.bsky.social - "Ol' Stubby" Hannah Baxter - "River of Giants"

When certain people ultimately point fingers at Elections Alberta for the delay and missteps tonight, don't forget who underfunded and hampered EA's requests for help to make sure this would run more smoothly.

Went to cast my ballots in the referendum. Minus the wind, it was very easy, in and out, and I got bubble tea to celebrate

I make my own slop thank you very much. No ai needed.

My poem "shift" appears in the latest Belladonna's Garden alongside many other beautiful pieces. You can read it here! www.belladonnasgardenlit.com/issues/fall-...

This is very good. #NoToTheNine

a reminder 🪄 #illustration

I think the most “adult who was in a gifted and talented program as a kid” thing I could have done to myself was become an author. Just giving myself endless homework and a need for people to be proud of me forever.

Just sent my latest novel to some beta readers so now it's time to panic (work on the next thing). #amwriting

Forget spring cleaning, it’s time for fall cleaning. Gotta get the habitat ready for hibernation.

Daily bunny no.3446 is not left-handed

An extended family member of my partner passed away today. He rapidly deteriorated after being diagnosed with cancer, so this is your reminder to do your recommended age related screenings.

Current WIP novel is a hot mess, but I am just enjoying it so much that I don't even care. Future me can figure out if this actually works as a story, for now, I'm just seeing where it goes

I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean

So proud of my friend Meg Pennerson! She had her book launch for her first novel, Dragons, Heists, and Other Retirement Plans last night! Super excited to start reading it.

In a recent gaming session, I had the burly badass villain growl, "Well, isn't that just ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife?" in response to a plot development, and in retrospect that was not a great way to get the players to take said villain seriously.

Tried to go outside for the peak of the eclipse but the moon was missing and there was distant lightning. The lightning is less distant now

Hexxus terrified me as a child, but Tim Curry was always amazing. What a true loss.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

How truly sad

Started working on a new novel this week and I am so looking forward to getting to know these characters. They seem like they'll be fun! It will be sad to kill one of them off!

It’s really not fair to be allergic to bandaids that I need to cover a wound

Read to the end.

Sitting in my hotel room. There's a big thunderstorm outside. Kiss - I was Made For Loving You is wafting up from...somewhere.

Heading to When Words Collide this weekend! I‘m not particularly prepared for it but looking forward to it all the same

buddy i have never used it. i don't know how to use it. i don't know if it's an app or what. i will never use it. if it disappeared today i'd go out and celebrate because it being gone would be instantly great for the planet and humanity

Went to the zoo today and it was a very good day for seeing the red panda

Excited beyond words to have a story in DC’s Hawk-Girl Summer! Let’s hit the beach! Writer: Me Art: @nikolacizmesija.bsky.social Colors: @francescosegala.bsky.social Letters: @droog811.bsky.social Thanks to editor Katie Kubert for making it happen.

We're so excited to finally announce: The Eventide! A single-player supernatural mystery adventure game set in a neon-noir Canadian cityscape, you investigate with a team of detectives who each see the truth a little differently... 🇨🇦👻 Follow us for more and wishlist now!

Signs I must be getting close to finishing this draft of the WIP: I'm starting to think about a different project #amwriting

Cancer: With long work hours, romantic relationships, and getting 8 hours of sleep, it’s hard to find time to take a moment to remember that life is meaningless.

I’m getting close to the end of this draft of the WIP and it might actually be good? Needs more work but I’m actually enjoying this part of the story and what’s to come.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Writing is such a weird thing but I just got a personalized rejection and I’m stoked.

Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP? "Corinne sat alone at a wrought iron table, tucked into the corner on the patio of her favourite café."

I am not a very good gardener but I love to try. Spent the afternoon wedding and trying to replace a few seeds that didn’t sprout and reorganizing the planters. It was nice to be outside and soon I will ever have some tomatoes!

Highly recommend getting a critique by @trickweekes.bsky.social! They’re wonderful and helpful and if I had disposable income I would be seriously debating it!

Heads up. Alberta's Privacy Commissioner has shared new guidance for anyone getting a new provincial ID/health care card. Diane McLeod says the cards will create new risks for Albertans and their private information. oipc.ab.ca/guidance-pub...

There are so many mosquitoes that I’m afraid to leave my house

Got a fancy cake today!

I awkwardly mumble it but also do my best to downplay it. I don't currently have a day job to deflect with.

I made pavlovas earlier this week, which meant I had leftover egg yolks. Found a recipe for key lime pie, which is now in my oven. #bakerproblems
