It's National Wine and Cheese Day & hey, I have a perfectly cheesy book to go with your beverage of choice! CHEDDAR LUCK NEXT TIME is a cozy mystery with an autistic lead & a megachonk orange cat. Book 2, BRIE MY VALENTINE, is out in February! www.bethcato.com/cheese-myste...

I hear it's Caturday.

In a previous day job, I worked to combat lead poisoning in my community. I did it for 2 years and burned out. I cannot imagine doing it for 30 years against oil executives. Man deserves some posthumous medals.

Look who showed up in my email as a Special Guest for Origins! @gryphonrose.bsky.social

Just picked up this sweet lady from @ccfinlay.bsky.social and @raecarson.bsky.social so she can enjoy her fur-ever home with @authorjlhenry.bsky.social. She's a little unsure about the cat carrier but seems eager to live her future princess lifestyle!

Read the whole thread. Cried only a little.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Why is "had had" a thing? In English, it's accurate to write, "He had had a bagel before." But please don't. Please revise it somehow. "He had eaten a bagel before." She had had enough of this nonsense. #grammar #WhyEnglishWhy #editing

My late husband, an oncology nurse and paramedic, advised to, "air out your junk," on a regular basis. So go forth and air out your junk... In the privacy of your own home.

Best piece of advice I got as an intern: never trust a naked baby What are your medical words of wisdom?

Wear sunscreen. Floss. Learn what compound interest on an IRA over 40 years actually means and start investing ASAP. Everything is made up and no one knows what they're doing.

people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

I love Wonder Woman because of her feminist/kink history, not in spite of it. Great article on Rucka's thoughts to writing Wonder Woman right. screenrant.com/wonder-woman...

My 2 year old pibble is smashed up against me snoring and I need to go write more but I don't want to disturb her. Dog in question pictured.

UPGRADE x HANNIBAL Neural experiment. Secret island. Billionaire Ashlynn wanted empathy, not murder. Now her brain’s hijacked. Only Dr. Fields—the man she’s falling for—can help. But is he savior or villain? Love/terror clash as every thought turns deadly. #2025Pit #T #S #A v v whole vibe

"I am poor and a voracious reader, how do I get more books without pirating?" A thread.

ConFusion people say I moderate panels well. @authorjlhenry.bsky.social says I should do an Author Interview style podcast. I say this is a bunch of work/time I could be writing. What say you? Make podcast? No make podcast? Eat tacos?

At ConFusion in Michigan, 50th "Monumental" anniversary of the con, and these writers make me sign up for BlueSky. First post? May be last. Not a social media person. Be my friend and help me?
