If you’re receiving this message the void tried to reach you but got your voicemail. They will call back in another 10-20 business days.

Slowly but surely I’m getting the urge to #write again. I think I needed a break and to just dissolve from existence for a while. Creature is still there tho, waiting for her store to be even better.

Wonderful art of my #DnD5E characters by my campaign mate Jinny! First is Sabina Tessaire, a reborn in a quest of vengeance against a vampire. Second is Hika, a kobold rogue who just wants to play her guitar and collect shinies.

A mostly black and red picture of a dark haired vampire-esque woman, she appears to be walking down a dark hallway with one hand in the air and the other by her side. Her mouth is open to reveal fangs.

A chibi style (small with cute features) of a humanoid lizard person (a kobold) dressed in dark clothing with two pointy daggers. She has blue skin, green eyes, and a flower crown.

A picture of a blue kobold (lizard humanoid), sitting on a log, playing her guitar with an open mouth smile. The scene is at night, there are stars in the sky and glowing moths dancing around her. She ways a dark cloak and a flower crown.

PSA on customer service surveys. Unless you are unhappy with the service give them a 5. Anything less than a perfect score will get them in trouble. So either give them a 1, because the service was bad or give them a perfect score. #customerservice #csr

Is the void not screaming back? Don’t worry, like us it has social anxiety. Give it five to ten business days and if it remembers it will respond with a “sorry I missed your scream” reply.

Lo and behold, I still exist. I lost my beloved Oya, the Duchess of Yelling last year and I became a hermit because of it.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

This weekend I was reminded that even some very intelligent, thoughtful people are unaware of the AI/data center/energy use problem. Such a massive issue, easily missed in the deluge of other disconcerting events.

Trump taking over D.C. is terrifying and should not be ignored, but it also a distraction tactic to get us from talking about Epstein. It’s still terrifying and I hate that this is the timeline we’re living in. #AmericaHasNoKings #Politics

My niece and his friend are watching #Landman, and I happen to be in the room…. I’m trying not to laugh at the fact that they’re watching a multi-layered, multi-couple romance dressed up as a drama/action show. #romance

Took a long drive out to the country today to rehome one of our dogs. Here’s a picture from the drive:

A photo from a car, the window shield borders are visible. A octopus plushie sits on the dash.

Directly out of the window is a blue and yellow sign saying “5” and an arrow pointing left.

Outside the window is a picture of an expansive stretch of green field, behind it a line of trees heavy with green leaves, and above a stretch of pure blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

My signed hard copies of the Galactic Bonds series by @jenniferestep.bsky.social arrived! I’m so happy! If you haven’t read them you definitely should! I wanna be Vesper when I grow up. #Readers #Romance #SpaceOpera

A close up image of a single shelf in a bookshelf featuring several books, prominently is the hard back versions of Only Bad Options, Only Good Enemies, Only Hard Problems, and Only Cold Depths by Jennifer Estep.

Also visible are several roleplaying game books: Vampire the Masquerade, Vampire the Requiem, Changeling the Lost, In Nomine, and sheaf of printer paper.

On the side opposite of the books the book set special edition books of Ilona Andrews’ book Iron and Magic.

Picture contains two stickers signed by Jennifer Estep with the message “To Ashley. Happy Reading! (Smiley face)”.

The bookmarks are themed from the galactic bonds books with an eyeball with several lines extruding from it surrounded by starts. One is black on white background. The other is white on a black background.

The signatures are in silver.

“Right, let’s first check the room where we heard those footsteps.” Sam tried to keep his voice steady in spite of the nerves. He glanced at the library door, before forcing his gaze towards the stairs.
