me, age 20: Oh, Mrs. Bennett, your 'nerves'. Sooo annoying. 🙄 me, age 48, in perimenopause: This woman has 5 DAUGHTERS and NO MONEY and a husband WHO WON'T WORK and spends all his time SMIRKING IN A LAY-Z BOY, staring at PIG BALLS and at any moment the whole family will be HOMELESS.

I knew Etsy had gotten bad, but I am just... beyond disgusted? I'm looking for a handmade gold ring, and it is 100% AI, 100% foreign companies pretending to be in the US. Not a single actual human being. How do people not recognize that none of it is real? I feel like I'm going insane.

One of my favorite things: The way we meet people online or at events and carry on a relationship by sending each other jokes, memes, photos, posts. It feels so special when a far away friend sees something and thinks specifically of me and reaches out. I was a lonely kid, and this gives me life.

This popped up on my Insta and I MUST know where it's from! Has anyone seen it? I'm guessing a foreign edition of Malevolent Souls?

Okay, this a longshot, but: Does anyone recall an artist from Dragon Con's Art Exhibition in the Hyatt who had really beautiful embroidered patches? The art was very MTG/goth girl, eerie and beautiful Fantasy-type stuff. Like, a luna moth or a rabbit with a moon would fit in.

The very definition of adding insult to injury: In order to enter my claims in the Anthropic settlement where they STOLE MY LIFE'S WORK AGAINST MY WILL TO TRAIN THE PLANET-EATING PLAGIARISM MACHINE, I am forced to use the sort of captcha that is... training AI.

A note on the Monstera preorder giveaway: It's still going on! The first round of swag went out. There are 3 people still waiting. I ran out of bookplates and ordered more, but they are too small, so I ordered YET MORE, which are in production. I'll start shipping again once the bookplates are here!

I just had my third round of IPL, and I want to tell you about it because I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of my sun spots and this is the first thing that has worked. Chemical peels and dermabrasion failed, a variety of products failed. Now I go get lasers shot at my face once a month. 1/

Here's a deep cut: My last big mural, painted on-site at a local arts center for Children's Book Month. Sometimes I think I should write a book involving a muralist and then offer to do a small mural at the bookstores I visit on tour. This was 2004, maybe?

BLOOM is on sale today for $1.99 across all e-book platforms. Do you like: * Hannibal * farmer's market cupcakes * a literary MC * a first sapphic love story * an object lesson in rose-colored glasses * lush prose and lusher charcuterie www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736002...

Bloom is pictured against a magenta background with plants. The words SAPPHIC HORROMANCE, FEMALE RAGE, and COTTAGECORE GORE are underneath it. Now I'm imagining Tipper Gore naming her daughter Cottagecore and giggling.

Got an unusual ask here, if folks would be kind enough to help spread the word. If you're a bookseller/bookstore who would be interested, pls comment with your bookstore's name & location. US only, as internatl mail is insane. (But maybe my UK publisher can be talked into something similar?)

Big thanks to @keithrosson.bsky.social for this marvelous Monstera blurb! Since @stephenking.bsky.social is a fan of Keith's work, I guess that makes me King-adjacent now? Other than the fact that Pet Sematary was possibly the most seminal book of my life. Monstera is out 10/13.

The Nightward by @rsagarcia.bsky.social had the horrible luck of dropping right after the 2024 US election. Bad timing means it wasn't on all the award lists it should have been. The end of Bloom by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social has lived rent free in my head for *years*

This is an image of the book Monstera against a chartreuse background with flowers. Monstera has a bloodied hand holding a gardening tool, also bloodied, amidst a handful of greenery. I really can't stress enough how much blood, hands, and plants are involved. Like, A LOT.

I think there are many moments-- during any era-- that could've turned Iskat's life around. A warm relationship with a caring mentor, a good friend, knowing someone else from her own species. The system failed her on multiple fronts and with no malice; the peacekeepers were not prepared for war.

I was walking through downtown Portland, thinking about Portlandia, wondering if I was going to see a Very Portlandia Person, and then a cool old dude in a vest slowly by on a motorcycle and he had a silky white mustache that went down to his SHOULDERS, and I was like, hell yeah, there it is.

When I went to get my nose pierced at SDCC, the piercer kindly informed me that I do not have the right anatomy for a septum piercing. I never noticed my deviated septum until they pointed it out, and now I CAN'T STOP SEEING IT. WHY IS IT SO DEVIATED.

Also there's a cat, but it's not the cat in the book, because he is a 20 pound orange marmalade behemoth with exactly half a brain cell and this cat honestly looks like it is wanted for tax fraud.
