I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/

Went to a tea tasting at Senpais Anime Cafe last weekend. It was so nice learning about different kinds of Japanese tea!

Wow... almost a thousand dollars in just the first few hours. Honestly I feel like a character in a corny holiday movie who lost her Christmas spirit so the town comes together to help her get it back. Except the "town" is bluesky. Thank you so much everyone. 🥹
I love Christmas and normally I'd be getting so excited right about now, but this year I'm a little down because it's our first holiday since we lost Fergus. I'm hoping I can spread some cheer and regain a little spirit myself by raising some funds for our local shelter! givebutter.com/n5l31M

If you live in the Bay Area: this 5 month old male cat was a TNR (trap, neuter,release), but he's very friendly, not like a feral cat. He's cute too!!!! Please consider this sweet boy, or ask your neighbors if they'd like to adopt him.
Please repost. Thanks, friends!! 🥰😍😺❤️💐🌼

I know this is a waste of time, but of anyone in the Bay Area can take on a cat, this ~5 month boy I trapped for TNR turned out to be way friendlier than I thought and also has a limp that does not pain him but can't be easily fixed.

I wasn’t sure how this plant would do as it gets so hot here in summer, but it’s in the right spot for sure! I like how the sun catches the yellow flower petals.
