I recently discovered that Amazon now lets authors distribute ebooks to libraries and still keep the title in KDP, and now all my m/m books are available in Overdrive and Hoopla (and also various print retailers).

It's not summer if I don't do some chalk drawings. Here's an American goldfinch eating sunflower seeds.

I just learned that it is possible to keep an ebook in Kindle Unlimited but still distribute it to libraries. HMMMM. A project with my m/m books over the next few weeks, perhaps... newshelves.com/kindle-unlim...

After seeing about 50 people link this book I finally clicked through and discovered it's not just knights, it's ARTHURIAN knights, specially Gaheris/Medraut. You can't bury the lede like this!

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

Fun with frozen soap bubbles: if it's zero F (-17.8 C) or below, soap bubbles freeze in the air. They shatter like plastic when they land, or roll around like little balls (If you search "frozen soap bubbles" on YouTube, you'll come up with way better videos, but this is mine from this morning :-)

Happy Newbery Day! (2026 Newbery dropped today.) Hard to pick just one formative Newbery, but I adored The Headless Cupid and it sent me down a Zilpha Keatley Snyder rabbit hole - the first time I remembering really pursuing books on account of their author.

Love this. I wish there was a translation of the Klingon because there's a non-zero chance "let it go" has become "CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES."

My mind was totally blown when Kit and Nat got together. But they argued all the time!, tiny me cried. This came out of nowhere!, I insisted. Tiny me did NOT know the mid 20th century romance cues.
