Happy Pride & as always: Do what you can. Care for yourself and the people around you. Believe that the world can be better than it is now. Never give up.

I’m so close to finishing my first draft of my sapphic take on Lady and The Tramp folks, and I’m so excited about the themes of found family and feminism I’ve uncovered in writing it. Fingers crossed this is the one to get me an agent…

I had the honor of being a sensitivity reader for this sparkling gem! If you liked those Nickelodeon reruns of Finders Keepers, it scratches that “find the thing in the themed room” itch with a beautiful narrative of exploring what it means to love as a teen layered on top.

ICE is out of control. We need to hold ICE and all law enforcement officers accountable for their misconduct. That’s what @ayannapressley.bsky.social and I are fighting for.

I (m4000) operate a small business selling wishes to the locals, except their wishes are vain and short sighted and I don't want to grant them. My employee (F17) is angry b/c she needs to earn commissions to afford college. AITA? Get IF WISHES WERE RETAIL! tinyurl.com/35y58bu6

FREAKY FRIDAY x LABYRINTH A misunderstanding causes a chaos muppet fairy king to force a neurotic gay marketing agent from NY to rule the underworld, a looming apocalypse forces them to work together, but falling in love is their own damned fault. #DVpit #F #R #LGBT

My favorite part of writing cons is collecting new author frens: a bunch of solitary tumbleweeds getting tangled up and rolling together through the desert of publishing.

Book cover for IF WISHES WERE RETAIL by Auston Habershaw
It shows a muscular genie who barely fits into a collared shirt overseeing a teenage girl who is hunched over a desk with a cash register. She is trying to make sense of some ancient scroll. A hand-written sign taped to the front of the desk reads "CASH ONLY."

The subtitle is "The Jinn is In"

One more week of Hadestown at Company Theatre. Don't let the "Teen Edition" tag scare you. It's the full Broadway show, with just a couple of songs moved to friendlier keys. And this production is outstanding. Proud of this one. Come see us! ci.ovationtix.com/35067/produc...

Currently being emotionally obliterated by She And Her Cat by Shinkai and Nagakawa. Last time I felt this way was when I saw the trailer for Argylle. Yes, I am a sucker for cat POV stories...
