My brother just sent me photos of some of our baby pictures he found, and he was SO ROUND. I was, naturally, flawless. 😂

There are publishing / marketing words I just don’t like. I was eventually worn down by romantasy through sheer volume, but I just can’t with STEMinist. I see what you’re doing! But still a no from me. And no shade on the books / authors / etc, just the…

Aww, look what just showed up in the mail! 😍 Thanks to Tor and @ilonaandrews.bsky.social!! I LOVED this book (and blurbed it!), so if you haven’t read it yet, you should go fix that right now. You can learn more over on Ilona’s site:…

It’s new Diablo IV expansion day! Getting in to create a character was fast, but now Mr M and I are both stuck in a mystery-length queue to actually start the game. :(

Apple’s dictionary doesn’t believe “leadingly” is a word, but Merriam-Webster has my back.

As someone who basically never looks at the discover or trending tabs, it always fascinates me when one of my posts breaks containment and random people find it. Who are all of you who eschew the chronological following feed? 😂

This week, nine years ago, I sold POLARIS RISING to Harper Voyager and started my publishing career!* Nine years!! Time is weird, as usual, because I can’t believe it’s been that long & I also can’t believe it hasn’t been longer. *(PR didn’t come out…

Cinnamon and vanilla fall into that class of ingredients—like garlic and cheese—that must be measured with your heart. 1tsp?? I think we can do better than that!

So today I got a letter saying I overpaid my underpayment penalty and I am getting a refund for that part, so mystery solved! They just mailed the letters in the wrong order. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

This is amazing, but even more amazing is the guy in second *also* broke the two-hour mark and it was his first-ever marathon. And third place still broke the previous world record. Incredible work all around! [contains quote post or other embedded…

We got a new stick vac that has a green laser to highlight dirt and dust, and no one needs that much information about the state of their floor. 😭😭😭

Carousel aside, this new Bluesky update seems a little half baked. I use the desktop site in a narrow window so it looks like an app, and now, half the time when I click the new posts button to jump to the top, the top navigation bar disappears (the one…

Look at this weird beetle that’s hanging out outside our door! It’s real creepy looking, and the first time I saw one, I was like nope nope nope, but this one was farther from the door, so I stopped for a pic. :)

Are the photo carousels only in the app? Because I’ve refreshed my browser and it’s still showing the standard photo grid (which I *much* prefer!).

Image carousels are terrible, who asked for this??? Just let me see all the pictures at once! Even in the quote post in the demo, you can BARELY tell there are more photos to see. 🫠 Please please please at least make them optional. [contains quote post…

We got a letter from the IRS saying they couldn’t direct deposit our refund which is weird, because we didn’t *get* a refund. We paid, and that payment went through fine. Not sure if I should be worried. :/

It’s cold and gray and rainy today, and while I’m happy about the rain, I just want to curl up in a cozy blanket and take a nap. I could never make it in Seattle. I would sleep half the year.

Lol, this book marketer email is really laying it on thick, calling Polaris the start of “a trilogy that redefined space opera romance.” I wish! Then we could all get a fun HBO show and I could retire to the beach. 😂
