I want every person who has previously struggled with a restrictive eating disorder to stand up right now, go to the kitchen, and eat a piece of cheese. Or a cookie. Or something else that brings you joy. There are some tough images out there right now, if you’re in recovery like I am. I see you. 🫶🏻
“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
People say to me all the time, “well you’re so fortunate your job is so flexible and you can wfh!” As if that means i should be able to parent and write at the same time with no issues. Even when i take an adderall I STILL fall asleep on the couch to Ms Rachel Hop Little Bunnies haunts my dreams 😭
Folks when you finally read How To Disappear Completely, I hope it is NOT apparent that I was drowning the whole time hahahaha
The perfect storm is brewing here rn. I’m in the midst of the most hardcore edit I’ve ever done, 2 months after deciding to pull my kid out of daycare due to health issues/being hospitalized over Christmas. Sooo now 3x a week I am parenting all day and writing all night (jk I fall asleep by 7pm) 🫠
Yes, I remember when I had my first child and had to build 30 data centers to feed them.
I’m proud of my new stuff. But playing the “game” is a losing battle. There was nothing to win or lose when I discovered this joy as a little kid. I just knew I loved it. Coming back to that means everything. Life is short and hard. What you love about being alive should not hurt.
Thinking a lot about Alysa Liu and her joy today. About why we pursue such difficult things because that passion reminds us why we’re alive. After a year that completely turned my life upside down, I’ve reconnected with the JOY of writing. I don’t have it in me to FIGHT for it anymore. It just is. 🖤
@chucktingle.bsky.social just reminded me i have a bluesky account and thankfully it came at the perfect time because i have a LOT TO SAY THESE DAYS *cracks knuckles*
nothing like stanning a swamp witch with friends on a friday afternoon
If you can’t find anything to be thankful for this holiday season, be thankful ur moms not a vampire
omg that looks AMAZING
10000% when a publisher wants your Film/TV rights it is a huuuuuge red flag. Dodged that bullet early on myself and learned some hard lessons.
This shirt is quite literally a synopsis of my next book and no I will not (cannot) elaborate at this time

Meanwhile they're still bumbling around wondering why nobody wants to have children anymore
Here's the most insidious thing about Tylenol-gate: It's the only pain reliever pregnant people are allowed to take. You take that away, they have no relief, they can't function, can't go to work... and then the men get to say "WELP there it is boys that's why they only make $.70 on the dollar!"
Whatever late capitalism is, it seems to be careening into this embrace of growth by negation. Through that prism, it's hard not to see the advances in something like artificial intelligence less driven by technological breakthroughs as by a society that has, over years, over decades, become normalized to a greater and greater magnitude of both loneliness and theft, such that a sputtering algorithm badly trained on the stolen work of real human beings might be celebrated with a straight face as something approximating humanness. Under this ordering, it is not some corporation's increasing capacity for better that drives the extractive world, but everyone else's increasing tolerance for worse.
Reading through One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This a second time with a pencil in hand and I really gotta say it’s standing out to me even more this round that this book is saying some piercingly real shit about much more than Gaza and genocide
Congratulations!!!!
<dead orphan children climbing from well>
<me, a person who loves both children and creepy shit>
Who wants dino nuggets????
😕🫂
Sending you love. I’m having the same experience with my own parent. 🤍 The guilt of living far away bc I’m raising my own kid is so intense. I’m thankful she’s receiving amazing care, but every visit gets harder and harder.
Coming to NY this fall for 1 reason and 1 reason ONLY. Cant wait to see @natcassidy.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @ceejthemoment.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @emilyhughes.bsky.social @talkscaredpod.bsky.social (ran outta characters lol)

Anna is a force in this scene and I am honored I got to be among the first guests on her pod 🖤
Weapons was everything I wanted it to be and more. I only wish I’d still been a child actor when they were casting this movie 😭
Happy Friday everything’s still garbage but here’s a perfect angel baby corndog
Aw you’re so kind thanks for spreading the love
I do still have my Patreon but i feel kinda bad about it because I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to post subscriber only content and it’s just become even more work. 😕 I guess I could still just use it for newsletters and updates and keep it all free…
so ig really spooked me by sharing my location w/o my consent, SO I’m going to be posting there a little less often and trying to grow my community over here 💙 Also thinking I should commit to a free newsletter/email list as new projects approach. What service do y’all use for those if you have em?
