Cousin Sh: I just want to see someone like once a week.
Cousin S: More power to you. I'm dying alone.
Me, already laughing a bit: Oh, that reminds me,
Cousin T, also ADHD: This is going to be unhinged.

Another typical family Thanksgiving: During a discussion about online dating in your 50s, I remembered that Dad wanted me to ask S, another single cousin, if they wanted one of the available plots on the family cemetery.

I have made pie and not!pie, and later I will make stuffing and mashed potatoes. Thanksgiving is going well thus far.

I always assume they're bigots, so I type a reply, erase it, and then delete the comment and block them.

I always love it when people comment or email to let me know about "all the spelling mistakes" in Queen's Hope, but is *especially* great when they do it ON A PRIDE POST.

This is Kalanthe (name from @ekjohnston.bsky.social's The Afterward). She is a 7 year old Australian Cattle Dog (a red heeler like Bingo and Chilli in Bluey). She's 15kg/30lbs over her ideal weight, has arthritis and needs lots of training. @distaff.bsky.social and I are getting there!

And then here I am at a Barnes and Noble in Orlando, on the actual release day. This Vader was a champ. He stood behind us for the ENTIRE SIGNING, which took several hours.

I do not have a lot of pictures from the AHSOKA tour, but I am reasonably sure this is me, sitting on the floor of the Javits, holding them for the first time.

Me, who has written approximately 500 fanfics in her time: How is it STILL so hard to come up with titles?

Eyes Like Stars, by NYT bestselling author @ashleyposton.bsky.social, is the first novel in our “genre fiction initiative.” Here, we take the building blocks of #StarWars and put them front and center. These are unapologetic genre stories set in AGFFA. Expect more titles to be announced soon!

@zlikeinzorro.bsky.social has done a lot of work building a foundation, but I am extremely pumped to see it on the freaking cover of the book!
