I don't want ai, I want a cat that lives as long as I do, no more new start ups unless it's to work on this

Oh boy oh boy oh boy I just started Scavengers Reign and I am VERY happy about it

I miss this birthday girl every day. I honor her by doing my best to keep my arms open for anyone in need, but also by remembering to take care of my one precious self. I think she’d still be here if she’d done that. Please help me honor her by being kind to yourself, my dears ❤️

I’m so happy that Emma Stone has joined the ranks of faves like Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe—acclaimed blockbuster actors who just wanna do weird lil projects!!

Hi pals! Does anyone have a spare NYCC ticket for Saturday? I'll be moderating a panel, and Mama McCarthy wants to be my #1 fan. Will pay!

🚨🚨🚨 I just pet two Very Good Dogs in a row and they were both named Brandy and they became pals 🚨🚨🚨

A very blessed Crying Along to the New Sufjan Stevens Album Day to all who celebrate 🙏

Death Rattle Dazzle on Broadway WHEN?!?!?

I am thrilled to announce that the spouse and I have chosen our Halloween costumes. I couldn’t be happier.

Okay but today I’m literally staring out the window wondering when my husband will return from the sea* *the flooded streets of Manhattan

Shirley Jackson is BAE

I might be crying a little. Author copies of THE NIGHTHOUSE KEEPER just arrived and they're gorgeous. Thank you, thank you to @thejumbles.bsky.social and @redolaf.bsky.social and Karyn Lee and all the other brilliant people who turned my story into a book. 🖤

I grow increasingly convinced that my hands are haunted by ghosts because, try as I might, they can never get warm. My one consolation is that at least I’m providing a safe haven for two teeny spirits!

I have zero idea what this would look like, but I’d give anything for a YA mystery with Columbo/Poirot vibes—clever humor and an underestimated protagonist are just so much fun!

Watching The Mars Volta perform was a lifelong dream of mine and it exceeded every expectation—I will never be the same again. I am also pleased to announce that I am in love with drummer Linda-Philomene Tsoungui and would go to hell and back for her.

The only problem with seeing The Postal Service is that I’ve reverted to my most awkward teenage self and everyone around me is way cooler than I’ll ever be and I’m the biggest try-hard dork on the planet no matter how many thrift store shirts I own or how badly I cut my own hair

I just called my members of Congress to ask them to support bipartisan permitting reform, which is 100% necessary to meet our climate goals. It was surprisingly easy, even for an introvert like me! Join @citizensclimate and make your calls today: citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-tak... #climate

Tell Congress We Still Need Clean Energy Permitting Reformcitizensclimatelobby.org The permitting reforms in the debt ceiling bill are not enough. We need dedicated attention to this issue in a new, standalone package.

I found out today that - over a year after initial publication - the hardcover of Clackity is going into its third printing this fall. I'm a bit beside myself. Thanks to everyone who has joined Evie on her strange journey. 🖤 Art credit: @redolaf.bsky.social

Oh hey bubs I guess we're here now!!
