Anastasia and Juliet

My white golden retriever, Juliet, in the corner of my sectional couch surrounded by different squishmallows. Dare I say, she seems to want to be one for Halloween. Maybe I'll be a squishmallow, too.

This whole year has been spooky season, so this Halloween, I have decided nothing scary shall enter my home. No horror movies, no politics. Halloween 2025 is the day for vibes in my household. Who else is in?

A stack of A PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES

Hello, heist fans! On Nov. 9, Im teaching a virtual heist workshop!

I’ve done a terrible job promoting it because of book tour brain - so! If you are interested in writing heists, give it a look! Help me spread the word! (The art was 100% done on the run, btw!)

There's a Right To Record ICE Raids--and There's No Blanket Immunity for Raiders Notwithstanding pronouncements from leading officials of the Trump administration, the consensus of federal courts is that the Constitution protects the right to record immigration raids, and federal ...

If ICE agents believe they have blanket immunity or that citizens have no right to record them, it’s up to the rest of us to disabuse them of that error.

A free society depends on public oversight of government force, and on courts that uphold that freedom. @walterolson.bsky.social

It's been a harder week, and through it I am reminded that it's okay to slow down, that I can take whatever I want to off my plate, and I can speed back up when I feel rested.

If we can get enough support, I'm about to *officially* be a published author. Awfully Hilarious's third book, Pillow Talk is working towards it's launch. I #backeditbecause it normalizes what it means to be human. If you can give anything at all, I (a random stranger) would appreciate you forever.

If you woke up in a grumpy mood, just remember that's okay. Your one job is to exist, and you're doing it perfectly. Everything else is extra, and sometimes we just need to be grumpy. #mentalhealth

For anyone who needs to hear it, you're doing a great job today. You'll get through it.

Do you do anthology series? You should check out Awfully Hilarious! They've won a lot of awards in Canada for their first two in the series

I went into hermit cave mode for the last few weeks and came out realizing I had work to do! Please help if you can. It is my dream to see my name in print.

This is so real.

That's a good life right there

I love the mountains usually, but I really wish I was on a beach right now

My white golden retriever, Juliet, sitting in the grass with a rainbow toy in front of her, staring at me with a stone cold, judgmental look.

Back in the office and wishing for one more day of vacation. If you had 24 hours to relax, anywhere in the world, where would you go?

My golden retriever, Juliet, walking down a sidewalk with a happy smile on her face and ears backwards.

Two days with no responsibilities feels like a dream. A dream I am going to take full advantage of. I hope you find a pocket for peace

Let each little step build 💜 and remember, rest is productive, too

My white golden Juliet draped across my elbow as I lay on the ground with her.

At a trauma conference at the moment, learning about new ways to help traumatized people...in a week where there has been so much grief, loss, and trauma. What a week to be a trauma specialist. You're not alone, and you are loved.

Such sass

Care for every life lost that we could have prevented.

As a therapist, can confirm

My white golden retriever, Juliet, lying on my hand in bed next to a birthday lamp chop dog toy.

I thought about going out, and then decided to relax in bed instead. It was the right choice tonight.

I'd love to, but I'm proud of my content, so I have to make more content and reply to others' content so people will get curious and look at the original content I was proud of. What a world.

When I grow up, I want to be my inner child.

The first draft's job is to exist, so congratulations! It's perfect.

My white golden retriever, Juliet, standing in her yard, mouth ready to bark while Puff, a pomeranian, sits in the foreground looking in the other direction.

Sometimes, I worry I have too many dreams, and then I remember that I'm moving in a direction that works for me, and it just happens to have several projects involved. What are you currently working towards?

Love your shading!

My white golden retriever, Juliet, lying on her white fluffy bed, her eye obscured by a reindeer stuffie while her cousin, a brown pomeranian named Dr. Puff sits on the other side of the bed. Both staring at me intently.

Yes. Many of my posts will include a cute picture of my (or a friend's) dog, because animals help our mental health, and mine is lifted up by almost exclusively by canines.
