Too freaking hot to cook, but in about three minutes, I threw together one of the yummiest salmon bowls I've ever made. 😋

K-Cups don't have to be horrible. Here are some small roasters that I have found that make incredible K cups. And some of my favorite of their offerings. If you are also incredibly picky about your coffee, but wed to the convenience of the Keurig, where are you getting your coffee? #coffee #keurig

Awesome! (Is there a trick to their search window because it's not bringing anything back for me In fact, the results don't look like it's even searching on what I entered into the search screen.)

First publication of the year and it took me this long to realize that it was out. Yeah it's been that kind of January. Very very happy to see my poems "The Tiger Fungus Roams" and "The Goddess of Creation Has a Nightmare" included in this issue. sfpoetry.org/wp/starline/... #poetry

Dear Peacock, I tuned in for the ice dance and men's final. I've already watched the women. Why are you redoing them? I hope you get your act together before Milan. #FigureSkating #PrevagenUSNationals #USFigureSkating

I don't understand the argument about not having two on the Enterprise. There's like 150 years between Strange New Worlds and Picard/Legacy. Relatively sure the fans can keep them straight. They aren't even the same Enterprise.

Incredible! Saturday morning's sunrise -- ahead of the rain forecast this afternoon -- was a stunner. CWG's Kevin Ambrose caught this pair of fantastic shots. The adage seems prescient: Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. See more photos at cwg.live

I guess my fawn daycare, Leen's Noms & Naps, is open for business. These two's mom grabbed some dinner then went out for drinks with the girls. Fawns are confused--first day at daycare is always challenging. One is sleeping just outside fence, always gotta be a rebel. #deer #summerinvirginia #fawns

When the remake transcends the original, I think it's OK to bring it up. 🙄

I watched it and I enjoyed it, and laughed a lot, but I had to tell myself it wasn't really Murderbot because the books are so much better. So this is my other friend Murderbot lol. As long as I don't try to make them be the same thing, I can have two of them in my life. 😉

If you like limericks, then you need this book. It's coming out on the 22nd, but you can pre-order the print copy now & the Ebook will be available later. Here is the Amazon link, but you can also get it at B&N. a.co/d/137HMu0 Pleased to have quite a few pieces in this! #limericks #poetry #poets

Although to be fair, I don't see a lot of the west/southwest/PNW represented here. Either this is a weirdly red tour or they haven't added dates for the western states other than Idaho.

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

I echoed all your comments. Yes, those count! The problem with moving the goalpost is you never have to succeed or fail. And if you are inclined to self-flagellation rather than celebration, it enables that headspace. Is there no joy in writing for Eric? 😣 Joy is crucial--especially right now.

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

What a read this is! It covers so many things while being heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching. I loved this book. If you like horror, read it! #horror #book

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

Just finished this and loved it so much! Do yourself a favor, especially if you like horror combined with ancient legends/fables (and/or snakes), and read this book! #books #fiction #horror #queerhorror

Sometimes taking a writing hiatus is the healthiest thing you can do for your writing, not just for yourself. Refill your creative reservoirs in other ways & deal with the things you need to deal with. I have always found that writing will be waiting like a faithful friend at the end of the break.

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

It's out! Because of course you would release an anthology about black cats on Friday the 13th! I'm super stoked to have my poem "Does That Familiar Come in Black?" included. geni.us/blackcattale... #catanthology #blackcat #blackcats #speculativefiction #speculativepoetry
