Spent the morning copying my CV into yet another janky web portal for a job I probably won't get an interview for. At least this one was up front that AI is used in the screening process so when I don't get it I can be all high and mighty about AI being a bad tool for hiring.

#SpoonieAuthChat Far back as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I think I've been bragging about how good an author I was going to be since Kindergarten. Didn't think I'd publish my first novel at 19, though! (Kindergarten me was sure it would be earlier!!)

I read a lot of books. Sometimes I review books I liked a lot. These two were highlights of the first quarter of 2026. Very similar covers, but represent two parallel threads of feminism: the hard work of nurturing new systems & the fight to dismantle broken ones. medium.com/reviewsday-t...

Come on, scammers. At least edit the ai summaries when you send your "I loved your book, please pay me to promote it to my book club" emails!

Your work has deeply resonated with our members. Its [lyrical prose / emotional depth / compelling themes customize as appropriate] offers a perspective that feels both intimate and far-reaching. The way you explore [themes such as belonging, resilience, or the human spirit] beautifully reflects the kind of literature our readers are drawn to stories that connect hearts, challenge minds, and linger long after the final page.

My husband has inadvertently trained the local birds that if they knock on the kitchen window, someone will come put seeds in the birdfeeder. I work from home, and half my job now is attending to needy tits. The woodpecker is pretty though.

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa.

The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them.
These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”
