Hello-

I am running this 5K tomorrow and I’m soooo close to my goal of raising $5K for @hofoco.org.

Even if you can’t donate a repost would be 😍. We rescue millions of pounds of good food about to be wasted each year and get it to those who need it. Help the environment and help fight hunger 🤝

Aranea Highwind from my modded playthrough of FFXV goes fishing. She's standing on the dock and holding a fishing pole. Across the water, the restaurant and palm trees await.

Instead of working on the chapter or shouting at pols who can't hear me, I made sure to put my FFXV & Elder Scrolls screenshots on the digital photo frame.

Muñeca A vivid, surreal Gothic about a queer, Latine, working …

So I have a book coming out in less than 3 months! I pitched it as "Bound meets Mexican Gothic, but with witchcraft." I wrote it because I wanted more Gothic but with Chicanas. And class politics.

You can pre-order it, and, even better, you can request that your library carry it.

‘Come on, you can ask me anything. I’m sure I’ll have the answer.’

‘Anything? Why, you’re certainly feeling #magnanimous today.’

‘I’m like this everyday. I love providing simple explanations to common folk.’

‘Ok then, where does a mansplainer get his water?’

‘From a well, actually.’

A giant sandworm looms over a desert landscape. It bears the face of Elton John with glowing blue eyes. It is surrounded by an army of undulating Duncan Idahos. In the commanding voice of a god it begins to sing.

“Be-be-be-bene and the Gesserits!”

The Duncans dance.
The spice flows.

Honorable Mentions: Cartridges ...plus a mystery ink In which I take a detour to post about fountain pen inks, because that should live over here too. When it comes to fountain pen purchases, I firmly believe two things. The first is that every fountain pen that takes a converter should damn well come with one. Especially if it's proprietary. *stares at Sailor in judgement* Now obviously there are no guarantees when buying second hand and this doesn't apply to Piston fillers, Vac fillers, or Eyedroppers.
