I'm a day late but yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Supernatural so here's the reference to it I snuck into my book.

Photo of a book page. Text reads: "We won't get the goats till we're settled in, but I'm getting a bonded pair of cats! I named them Sam and Dean." When I look blankly at her, Chapel launches into a long description of some show about two brothers who hunt monsters. I shake my head. I've had enough monster-hunting for now.

As a Millennial back in school, I can say with certainty that the part of my brain that cannot remember probability equation formulas is the part that still remembers every word to the Hymn of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen from Ren & Stimpy.

A lot of times I drive for ten miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but it really doesn't say a lot for the "emergency brake". It's really not an emergency brake, it's an emergency "make the car smell funny lever".

I've said this before but I'll say it again If your reading recommendations (especially if you are an industry professional of some kind) include no works by Black authors Then I urge you to *seek out and read* more work by Black authors

You discover an orange cat. Orange cat has babies, some orange. They grow up, have babies. Cycle continues. Wow, there's a lot of orange cats! Congrats, you just figured out why there's more Autistics than 50 yrs ago. Genetics, & being able to discover more orange cats- I mean diagnose Autistics.

Almost forgot to wish a happy birthday to my book baby! They grow up so fast...

A man with olive skin and dark curly hair and beard wearing a brown and cream trucker style cap and tortoiseshell glasses and a brown western shirt with brown and cream plaid shoulder patches sits in a room with white walls and curtains printed with woodland animals holding a book titled The Lumbering Giants of Windy Pines. The cover shows a Black girl with braids and glasses wearing purple overalls and a white androgynous girl with short dark hair using a pink wheelchair with a small dragon on her shoulder traveling through a dark wood.

I've been cagey about this since I look young and in this youth-obsessed industry hoped I could pass for one of the cool-kid rising stars instead of someone who'd been at it for decades before I broke through. But isn't that kind of the point of this? So... 42.

I don’t like how ppl within our own country get pissy about the word y’all. It’s you + all. It follows all the rules of a proper contraction. But let’s get to the base of it. It’s rooted in the south so you think it’s wrong bc you think southerners are stupid.

When we searched Trump's executive orders & agencies for a clear definition of "DEI," there wasn't one. But after we looked at what's being targeted by MAGA resegregationists, the definition was clear: DEI is their term for "something that doesn't help white people.."

It just clicked. "Trans women (or men putting on dresses and pretending to be trans women) and assaulting kids in bathrooms" is this generation's razorblades in apples/Satanic cults abusing kids as ritual sacrifice/every boogeyman we come to look back on and wonder how so many people believed.

And yes! Some of those people live in RED STATES but they are children or disabled or elderly or don't want to leave their homes and voted for Harris and are suffering now anyway so maybe blanket statements that "they deserve it" aren't accurate

Call this what it is. Every order by this sham government to "remove racial bias" is an order to institute bias in favor of white people.

Right, because doing this to any one group is sacrificing your humanity, but also, where does it end? If you are willing to throw one marginalized group under the bus "to protect everyone else," what happens when the fascists come back and ask you to sacrifice another group? And another?

I know it's hard to write when the fear of book bans & soft censorship looms over all BIPOC & LGBTQ writers. Especially middle grade authors who can't get into schools to promote their books anymore. Book bans are doing exactly what they want-stopping us from writing. DON'T LET THEM! KEEP WRITING!

I have to take a moment of appreciation for the amazing Millennial cast of this cult classic: Jena Malone as the teen mom, who only slept with her gay boyfriend to "save him from the sin of homosexuality," Patrick Fugit as the sk8r b0i preacher's son who loves her, Eva Amurri as a Jewish girl >>>

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

It's really hard to feel shitty about yourself and help someone else at the same time. So when you start feeling like you're a scumbag, look for a way you can help. Worst case scenario, you're a scumbag who just did some good.

Spite can be one of the most powerful motivating forces, if channelled correctly. Do it out of spite. Create out of spite. Live, in spite of it all. Just don't let it consume you.

I've always loved a good came-back-wrong story. If you scratch me you will always find a bit of early Supernatural, so think the FIRST time Sam died iykyk, and there some Beetlejuice in there, some Buffy, a dash of Frankenstein. #HorrorWritersChat

You can't mess with perfection! My favorite is Jordan Peele's Us, and imo there is no way to improve on that ending. Maybe Re-Joyce, the revived and not quite real Joyce, as something similar to the Tethered could have been fun to explore in the middle as a cameo... probably not! #HorrorWritersChat

My first instinct is to say I'd become Rory even though she's already based on me, just to know what it's like to bring dead people back. Then again, she's not very good at it! Maybe I'd be better off as Iva the shopkeeper who knows what she's doing (and what not to mess with.) #HorrorWritersChat
