I had the opportunity to see @lilymeade.bsky.social speak at @norwescon.org this year, and immediately grabbed her book, The Shadow Sister. It’s a haunting story of love, family, trauma, and legacy, all woven together with a bit of magic. Absolutely recommend.

Mentally, I am Not Great lately. I’ve been logging in to boost my latest housing update, but my head is a little too fragile for social media at the moment so if I seem absent that is why. Hopefully some time offline will help. I’ll be back soon!

Good news for me but Less Lily for you: I am Locking In on getting my query package ready to enter the trenches again next month, so I’m going ghost until early September while I polish. Please send me all the writing strength and confidence boost! When I come back, I’ll have fun fall event news!

Genuinely so overheated that my brain feels like it’s melting out of my ears, and my stomach is boiling and my chest is so tight. I’m really hungry, but I had to throw away my premade salads because they were from poop lettuce.

Friday update on Paddy and Me: HER POOP LOOKED GROSS IN A NORMAL WAY TODAY! I’m still recovering from my shots, but I thought you’d like to hear that stinky little update. It’s very warm today, so I’m taking extra care to keep us both cool. Thank you for all the kind thoughts and support!

Update on Paddy (and me): She scared me last night with a return of the scary poop, but I did some research and it says it may take a couple days to resolve with the meds/rest.

89 degrees inside the camper right now. 72 degrees outside. Thinking I need to invest in a mesh tent, because clearly it’s safer to spend the daytime hours outside than in this RV.

Please pray for Paddy. She’s not drinking water despite the terrible heat and her poop is liquid with blood. We’re on our way to an emergency vet. We don’t really have the funds for this or what she might need treatment for, but she’s my lifeline. I need her. Please help if you can.

I bet you can’t see guess the running theme in my latest additions to our Homelessness Help Wishlist. We just got our first heatwave of the summer and it’s been so hot I’ve been unable to think. But honestly, I’m terrified most for little Paddy. She’s been breathing hard even with constant water.

It’s been a great day so far, even with the few hiccups! I got to spend most of it with my mom and big brother and then we saw my baby brother and sister in law! She took an (almost) complete family photo.

Today is my birthday! And I’ll be honest, the best thing you could do is help me with funds to survive the next few months, either through my ongoing homelessness survival fundraiser (see my pinned post) or through my Cashapp ($Lilymeade) or Venmo (@Lily-Meade-1).

This is NOT the birthday vibe. They didn’t tell me when they said the sliding scale appointment in March wouldn’t charge me because of my income that didn’t include the labs they MADE ME take. I don’t have this kind of money. This is why I’ve been avoiding the doctor since I lost my insurance. 😭

Paddy got these teething treats from the wish list and they’re so big that she takes two days to finish one. Mom said last night at bedtime she “buried” the unfinished half in the blankets to protect it until tonight. Now she’s holding it in place with both of her front paws to nibble on again. 🥹

New love of my life. I love hot sandwiches so much but they’ve been really hard to come by living in a camper. This has been such a great quality of life upgrade that I am seriously considering budgeting for a second backup in case I use this one so often it gives up on me, LOL.

SEEKING HELP: A friend at a conference told me there’s a website authors can purchase their books for a cheaper price? I don’t have access to the author portal for A ROGUE THORN, but I need to restock on my hardcover copies. Does anyone have any tips/links?

Lily Meade @lilymeade.bsky.social · 29/05/2026
We’re going to have to replace the entire mini-fridge (at least $130-150) in addition to the food. So right now we are without cold storage until then.
066
Lily Meade @lilymeade.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
Spent my last $50 on groceries yesterday and this morning I wake up to find something either went wrong with the power or the mini fridge itself and all the fresh “cold” food (brand new deli meat, cheese, yogurt, etc) has been sitting in a wet warm container overnight. I want to walk into the sea.

Extremely bad money trauma night. Legit had a panic attack about it. Trying to calm down, but it’s so hard when the only thing that can fix the “problem” I’m stressed about is the very thing I don’t have.

yeah omg the mini fridge cooling unevenly is such a thing. if I put cheese in the drawer it's molded two days later. if I put it in the back it's frozen solid. there's actually only like a VERY narrow area of genuine useability for most stuff with a mini fridge haha

This! I only have access to a mini fridge (that cools unevenly), a chest freezer, and a microwave. No stove or oven. We had a toaster/convection oven, but it shorted out during the power outages of last fall’s storms and we can’t afford to replace it.

Lily Meade @lilymeade.bsky.social · 25/05/2026
I looked at a lot of bill and debt numbers today, paired with an atrocious glance at my bank account and empty mini-fridge. If you need me, I will be… screaming.

Now that I am off double deadline, I can focus on what truly matters: my birthday is in two weeks! There’s only two things I really really want. A new ice maker for surviving summer in the camper (last one died) and a Jurassic Park panini press for warm sandwiches. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
