"The books in this series have been absolute orgies of comfort reading, brimming with sparkling banter and the kind of heart-rending angst you can drown in." -- @oliviawaite.com on Carrigan's Christmasland
It's always so neat to see Miriam and Noelle still showing up on lists of holiday books to read. ❤️🌈🎄

My kid just demanded he receive one of these for Christmukkah which is a sign that other artists should post about their cool shit, because Chanukah is 8 nights and I will buy his nerd ass a funny shirt for every single one of them.
Do you like things with cats on them? If so, good news! I have two new cat designs in my dashery store and it's all on sale right now in time for xmas!! 😻

Some moments in parenting make everything worth it, and seeing my extremely emo nerd 10 year old look up from the LEGO mech he was building for his skeleton donut baker to say, in the most bored world-weary voice imaginable, "oh cool gay people," before tuning back out, was one of them.
My child was interested in: the Pillsbury balloon "because it's kind of like the Staypuft marshmallow man,"
The Sesame Street float "that was better than most of the songs this year"
And the moment Jonathan Groff kissed Bowen Yang's hand "oh cool, gay people."

Facebook using a boomer song to try to convince me, an xennial, that Gen Z uses their service (and then playing the commercial every 5 minutes until every generation unites in annoyance) is... Something that certainly is happening.

I love when I discover people online who have the same name as characters I made up, and they seem like cool people. Like there's a lesbian florist named Miriam Bloom. An iconic florist name AND someone I'd invite to Carrigan's.

In case this thread made you love my grandparents a little, you should know that an even more important TDay tradition than rutabaga or oyster stuffing was the ritual Listening to Alice's Restaurant, without which dinner could not commence.
This is a sign to add Arlo Guthrie to your day.

My Gram, Ardith (z"l), could not cook but absolutely did not know that,+ it was understood by us all that WE WOULD NEVER TELL HER. Some Gram classics of thanksgivings past included raw paella, unseasoned boiled rutabaga, and the piece de resistance, an entire cauliflower head baked in mayo + cheddar

This rideshare smells like cigarettes + the driver is blasting terrible music, but I'm constitutionally incapable of dropping people's star ratings in the gig economy unless they are actively unsafe.

I just remembered that every year, they had to tell the story about visiting my dad in Tucson for Thanksgiving (they were from Detroit) and him bringing tortillas and salsa to the table to make turkey burritos. As a kid who didn't Understand the Midwest, I didn't get it. Why WOULDN'T you do that?
I miss them very much, but I do not miss the rutabaga.

I'm so tickled by this menu created at Hive Book Arts in Evanston for their book club. It's so thoughtful and fitting for Levi and Hannah. And the napkin holders are BLUE Christmas ornaments 😭

In case anyone wants an extremely 70s Midwestern Grandma stuffing recipe, I give you, Carolyn's:
I present, my husband's grandmother's stuffing recipe, beloved by all the brothers, which I have, for reasons unknown (I guess because I married the eldest??) become the keeper of.
The "dry bread cubes" should be seasoned stuffing mix. The apples are not, IMHO, optional.

Not a single person has replied to my totally hinged DM about writing a romance anthology with one story for every song on August and Everything After. Why will no one collaborate with me on this timely project for which the world is obviously clamoring?

Buy my books they love Hallmark while making fun of it, they're queer+ socialist + they take place right now (well, not my problematic middle child, but we don't talk about Levi) and if you put them together on a shelf they make the bi pride flag!

This is just a reminder that I wrote a trilogy that ends with the icy blond lawyer fiancee, who got dumped for the hot small town tree farmer in the first book, road tripping to the ex's wedding with a fake girlfriend (and there's only one bed).

Just a reminder that this cat needs to live in someone else's house! She's probably fine with boy cats or dogs, she just doesn't like other girl cats. I'll drive her as far as OK or AR! Or like for sure anywhere in the Texas triangle!
