I do appreciate an obvious bot.

its so nice when its good news coming from my home state!

since February is impossibly longer than January, I am glad I froze some Chirstmas cookies from @toreajade.bsky.social to warm up for a cozy night. Lots of things suck but friends, cookies, and writing at night rules. #cookies #writinghacks #writer

tomorrow! online! early enough that you can still go read at the bar afterwards or whatever you do on your wild friday night.

starting a new thread of artists who are raising mutual aid for minnesotans affected by the occupation — there are so many who are doing great things to help, and some that have posted mostly on instagram.
