Had to change the post because in addition to not being able to buy a gallon of milk, I also found out the phone bill is going to try to come out before payday, and that will decline and we'll get shut off. So I have to ask for $120 now. 😑 Paypal.me/brokenqueene CA/V: brokenqueene

I worry into the silence, old fears dancing the tango with the new, perfectly choreographed to echo like heartbreak, like longing, like wonder and want, the dishevelment of confusion rings hollow, uncertainty sitting like a stone in this unmade moment, here I am— but where are you? #TinyPoem

Gabrielle Steele ⚔️ Echoes of Chaos out now! @eldris.thellian.com · 02/10/2026

The start of a new epic fantasy set in my world of Thellian. You don't need to have read my other book. Huzzah! Perfect for fans of Robin Hobb, Echoes of Chaos has: - prophecies - gem-based elemental magic - a dog-sized-cat companion - empathic bonds - a romance subplot - LGBTQ+ characters 💙📚🪐

A graphic with a white marble background, text, and the cover of Echoes of Chaos by Gabrielle Steele on a tablet and a paperback over upside down bare branches with a pale green area in the top right corner. Header text, below the book image: "Guided by light. Hunted by shadow." Body text: "Desperate to destroy the twisted beast that was once the woman she loved, an outcast makes a costly deal with an imprisoned immortal, but when she gets caught up in an ancient conflict, she must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to end her beloved’s suffering." Below this text is a web address: thellian.com/echoes-of-chaos . Cover description: The background is dark blue with a cracked texture. The title is silver with a metallic almost 3D effect. Behind the title is a circular emblem of abstract dragons circling each other, one dark the other light. Beneath the title is a flame-coloured eagle in a watercolour style. Layered over the bottom of that is a marble-effect silhouette of a woman riding a horse with a cat beside it, surrounded by vine-like roots. The horse is rearing and the cat is up on its back legs reaching a forepaw towards the nearest root.

It is bizarre to watch people use the words "restorative justice" to center the need of someone who assaulted someone else. You simply cannot talk about restorative justice in this context without centering his victim.

Restorative justice doesn't mean "nothing bad ever happens to you." It means, "in determining what happens from here on out, we center the needs of your victim to repair what happened to them over your own needs."

So if you actually care about restorative justice, the thing I beg you to start doing in these cases is CENTERING THE FUCKING VICTIMS. And not demanding that people immediately jump to how they can best not ruin the man's life.

I think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."

Meet my newest fabric art creation: Ronanan Raucous the Witch Homunculus. I designed and hand-sewed him, as well as his tiny witch hat. Ronanan knows a number of tiny spells that only work on tiny things. For example, he can turn an acorn into a slightly smaller acorn. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art witch homunculus Ronanan. He's a weird little gray humanoid with an oblong sort of head with wobbly black eyes with wobbly gray pupils. He has a black nose, an open black grinning mouth with two sharp gray teeth. He's wearing a hand-sewn black witch hat I made for him. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's another lovely photo of Ronanan where he's resting on my palm with his hat beside him.

From the Vampire and the Vintage. Jehani is struggling with grief on a difficult anniversary. #WritingCommunity #WIPSnips #WriteSky #Romance #Vampires

When Jehani finally started speaking again, his voice was quiet, softer than they’d ever heard. “Once upon a time, I made a vampire. Of those of us who know how, some make many, a very few make none. I’d fully intended to be one of the latter, but then I met Anzo and he changed my mind.”

The vampire didn’t go on. Kathian prompted, “How did you meet?”

He waved the question away. “It was a long time ago.”

“Who was he to you?”

His eyes grew distant. “A friend. A confidant.” He hesitated, and swallowed hard. “A lover.”

“And you’re thinking about him today.”
Coming back to the present, he nodded, still looking away. “He’s gone now, you see.”

“He left?”

“Destroyed. By mortals.” Jehani paused, before finally meeting their eyes, unguarded again. “And this is the anniversary of that night.”

Your 3rd dose today of Anthropic settlement madness (at least from me). Authors, CHECK YOUR CLAIMS! Your situation may have changed, per this email from the settlement administrator that some authors are receiving (subject heading: Anthropic Copyright Settlement: Allocation Updates)

We made updates that may affect your claim.
What Changed?
Wed, Sep 30,
2026 at 5:35 AM
Based on feedback from claimants, we updated how certain works are categorized.
In particular, where multiple claimants submitted default claims for the same
ownership interest in a work, we changed those works from agreement to
disagreement.
In addition, the portal is updated to reflect that some claimants changed their sole
ownership claims to default claims, and some claimants withdrew their claims.
What This Means for You
As a result of these updates, some works on your claim may now be categorized
differently. We encourage you to review the current allocations for your works.
How to Review and Update Your Allocations
Please use your claim number and PIN above to log into the portal below.
Claim Summary and Allocation Portal
For help making updates, please visit the allocation portal instructions.
If You Already Submitted Updates
If you already updated the allocation for a work, then you do not need to
submit those updates again. Any changes you submitted previously
through the online portal are recorded, but the portal is not being
updated in real time. If you submit multiple updates for the same
copyright number, your most recent submission will replace any earlier
submissions

What’s Next?
We will continue to work with claimants to help resolve disputes.
For works where all rightsholders are in agreement and where all necessary
payment information is provided, we expect to send a first round of payments in
November 2026.
If You Have Questions
Please contact us at 1-877-206-2314 or info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com.
