Score one for the cooling blanket. Woke up so chilled I thought I was hearing the heater instead of the AC for a second.

If anyone sees this, please, help get this dragon home!

#SDCC comic con: our daughter left her 3D printed black dragon in the restroom near E/Starbucks. She printed it herself and is devastated. We checked the restroom and lost and found which means someone picked it up. If you bring it to 5552 I will give you a signed comic as reward

Excited about mercury coming out of retrograde tomorrow...

Thought it was Tuesday all day long. Appreciating the surprise of only 2 days left in the work week.

This weekend's library haul

More information in the thread!

But have just started the Fellowship soundtrack & the world asap feels better.

Update: should have tried leaving my shirt on inside-out, the insomnia was terrible.

Just put my nightshirt on inside out for the third night in a row and I'm now wondering am I subconsciously trying to protect myself from the insomnia fairy?

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

Feeling like my not smart pantry or trash can is talking to my phone. Suddenly getting ads for the pistachios I finished today.

“If there is a halo round the sun or moon, then we can all expect rain quite soon.” It's true, the old saying: ice crystals in clouds refract off the light, creating a halo that indicates a front is about to move through the area. #WyrdWednesday

Happy Nonbinary People's Day! 💛🤍💜🖤 I'm a nonbinary author of queer SFF. You can assume all my characters are some flavor of queer unless stated otherwise. But my queerest book, with a shy nonbinary elf mage as love interest, is Tea & Treachery at the Infinite Pantry: books2read.com/tea-treachery

Note from my notebook from 2016 which I find has only grown in pertinence in the intervening decade.

Here Comes the Sun came on at the dentist & wow, didn't need the threat. I'll keep the clouds & rain, thank you.

I couldn't remember how to use my wiperblades this morning

The 40% chance of rain failed to manifest & I'm heartbroken

This cracked me up.... Sorry, not sorry.

If Pelosi was clearly dead & the Democrats clearly hiding it, no force on earth could keep reporters from storming that hospital for photos of her corpse. For those of you too young to remember, please know 20th century journalists would’ve done it regardless of party & gotten Pulitzers.

They can readily admit Lindsey Graham died because South Carolina isn’t about to elect or appoint anything but a worse version of him McConnell is an ex-turtle, but there’s just enough doubt in KY And the media contentedly reports “so weird lol” but doesn’t even try to break the real story. Again.

When someone who consistently does and says terrible things dies, it's helpful. It means that they can no longer do and say terrible things. It's a form of cleansing the world. That's a positive thing.

Nice to wake up to good news for once.

It's a trap. He wants to bite & wrestle. #Caturday

Unboxing my new Fantasy novel the only way I know how: WITH A SWORD.

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot. Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up

Once you understand the moral psychology of America's immaturity, everything about America's 250th birthday makes sense.
