Ok, that's funny. If funny is the same as abysmally annoying. Got one of those creepy AI bullshit scam letters about a book that's been out of print 15 years and was an anthology to boot, LOL.

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

my dad called and asked to borrow "your air popper thing" and internally I was like "I bet he means that he wants to borrow the device that puts air in your car tires" but that seemed insane so I greeted him at the door with my popcorn popper and he was like "um how will this inflate my tires?"

Why you should use a PHYSICAL scene separator (e.g. asterisks) in your books instead of an empty space: 1) Some ereader / app somewhere may simply not show the empty space. 2) Some people read on devices with the text REALLY BIG. Your chance of the empty space being at the end of the screen is...

I'm in an argument with my kids. It's about the Backstreet Boys song "I Want It That Way". My kids say that the Boys and their Girlfriends want different things, but I think there are no grammatical cues to indicate that and they both want it "that way". But she's not allowed to?

Dear marketers. This is the first day here it's been below 90 in the daytime in months (exaggeration but you get my drift). No, I don't want to stock up on cozy sweaters. EVER. I barely even need shirtsleeves anymore. And I certainly don't need a snuggie.

I filled up my water cup, took it back to my nest, and settled in. It is very disappointing to take a nice, long sip through my freshly washed straw and have the water be mouth temperature. BLEAH. Summer warms up the pipes, for real. Cold water isn't automatic.

This is the core philosophy that undergirds my own approach to worldbuilding. Every world (including the one we live in right now!) is built of complex, interacting systems. Worldbuilding is choosing which systems to feature, how closely to examine them, and how to weigh their products and outcomes.

When I sit very very still, I feel almost normal, but the minute I move -- have the audacity to stand up -- every injury I've ever had takes that opportunity to remind me they suck. My ankle I rolled in tap class is singing some songs, for sure.
