The "em dash evangelist" label on my website is more amusing these days, as The Internet is now convinced that people using em dashes in their writing are all using AI. SOME OF US JUST WRITE LIKE THE #ADHD IS WINNING -- BECAUSE IT IS -- Y'ALL. #NotAI #IJustHaveALotOfThoughtsInsideMyThoughts

Welp. @johnnyvengeance.bsky.social and I both completely forgot today was our 12th wedding anniversary until my mom wished us a happy one. So I think we're killing it in the marriage department. #ADHDMuch? #ImportantDatesAreHardToRemember

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

“Eugenics isn’t just about eradicating the lesser people like myself, like people with disabilities, it’s about attaching disability to marginalized communities in order to slate them for eradication.” Fantastic crash course in eugenics, ableism & anti-blackness from @imanibarbarin.bsky.social

Today's excerpt from my current WIP, a sentence we can all agree is a true example of literary excellence: "I stood standing." Catch my future bestseller soon.

Figuratively, the MC in my current WIP has to embrace his differences, and let go of his desire to fit in. Literally, he has to let go of his mom. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Sabrina and I write kid lit -- I have a bunch of PB manuscripts but most recent WIPs are middle grade horror. I write horror now because I kept trying to write soft and magical picture books but CB/MG horror kept coming out instead. It wasn't really up to me. #HorrorWritersChat

“When will someone think of the male writers?” I’m always saying. “If only I could find works of literary fiction by men.” I’ve shouted into the ether. Thank the gods for such a trailblazer.

A desperate plea for my local bookstores. Can anyone, for the love of any god, stock more adult horror than Stephen King? And, for the love of the same or another god, can the kid-lit section include more than award winners/nominees & required reading from 1995? MAYBE EVEN SOME HORROR?

I wanted to write something about RFK’s eugenics-minded absolute garbage speech on autism but all that came out was a tirade of profanities. Friendly reminder: you don’t have to produce something for the capitalist war machine to be a worthy member of society. You are enough. #ActuallyAutistic

Camp Cretaceous has me stressed out. Who, in their right mind, sends a teenager to sleep-away camp on a remote island with genetically-modified prehistoric dinosaurs? That’s objectively bad parenting.

If there's one thing I can do, it's survive. When my brother died. When my parents left. When the earthquake hit. Maybe I should be afraid that the sky went dark, & the animals are dying, & all the adults are gone. But I'm not. If anyone is going to make it out alive, it's me. #KidLitSundayScaries

"It's a cliche, but she lights up the whole room." He once said to me when I asked why they stayed friends. He was lost in a memory of her while he held my hand. All the blood drained from my face. And that was it. That was the day I knew I had to kill her. #KidLitSundayScaries #YA #VSS

“This is THE dumbest idea you’ve ever had.” I told my sister. “For old time’s sake? Before you leave for school?” Her eyes begged me to give in. And I did. We closed our eyes & said the chant three times. When I opened my eyes, she was gone. I never saw her again. #KidLitSundayScaries

This month’s story-inspired treat for my horror & suspense book club. My first attempt at making decorated cookies. I learned that brown is hard to make with primary colors. And that it takes a lot of red to make red. #booksky #bakingsky #horrorsky

Decorated sugar cookies in the shape of hunting knives. The handle is tan, the blade is gray, and there are pinkish red blood splatter decorations on the blades.
