Kinzie bit her lip, and God help me, I couldn’t look away. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but have you always struggled with confidence?.”

This #airportwineselfie feels extra sweet…Since Sunday, I’ve gone from Fl to Chicago to Denver into the mountains and to Dallas but finally going home for three whole nights

I’m exhausted but can’t wait to sleep in my own bed and snuggle with my wife and dogs❤️

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers! 🍷

NEW Book Review

Too Forward by Krystina Rivers asks what happens when falling in love means loving parts of ourselves that we do not believe are worthy.

Heard 2 men opining whether it was worse to be on a plane with a cat or a democrat. Thoughts:

1.You came from Chicago
2.Did the dems tank the market?
3.Are the dems pissing on the constitution? Defying the Supreme Court? Giving the 🖕 to due process?
4.Screaming child + crying cat > you two douches

Krystina Rivers | Saphic Romance Author @kriverswrites.bsky.social · Apr 15

All of these things. And also, she just has that Chicago attitude. It’s been a rough couple years here but I’m excited!

Ha ha, I get that. Drunk gardening is always fun. Though for the record, homegrown kale is much, much better than anything you can get in the store…

Krystina Rivers | Saphic Romance Author @kriverswrites.bsky.social · Apr 12

The 2025 drunk gardening season has officially commenced!

Cheers to green growth and good times. And kale. Lot and lots of kale.

I’m not normally a UCONN fan but I have a lot of respect for Paige and the way she used her visibility to shine light on Black women athletes, and I wouldn’t be sad if she got the championship she’s been chasing. Even if I didn’t pick them in my bracket 😂

Do you need another hint?

Krystina Rivers | Saphic Romance Author @kriverswrites.bsky.social · Mar 25

😂 love it! It’s a book by one of my closest friends, and it is one of a five book series that she recently finished (the series that is - this book is a few years old).

This feels accurate to me. Same brand, same flour, same thickness with no sauce…probably the same.

Ha ha, it is, but it’s not mine… do you want me to give it away or do you want to guess?

On a flight home from an amazing weekend with my wife where we were both on work trips in the same state to revisit the city where we met…

Loving watching this UCLA - Richmond game with cheap red wine in a bamboo cup.

Oh, and if you love sapphics & basketball, check out my newest, Too Forward

No. Because they hold the sauce differently… now, if you cut an unsauced 1mm x 1mm piece of the same thickness? They *might* but I’m not committing.
