Happy Thanksgiving! Who wants apple pie?
A somewhat rustic apple pie in a glass dish cooling on a wire rack on a counter, with a cook book and toaster visible in the background. The pie crust is a golden brown with a fork crimped edge.

Dinner tonight! Maybe I'm kind of decent at this whole cooking thing.
A plate with creamy orzo, a medium steak, and asparagus with parmesan flakes.

Got really humbled a few weeks ago by realizing all my headshots were from like five years ago so! New headshots dropped!

Didn't realize this until I was fiddling around in the Submission Grinder this AM, but I've officially crossed 100 lifetime short fiction rejections! Choosing to celebrate this as a milestone of how far I've come since my first tentative submissions (and almost instant rejections) way back in 2022.
Lifetime Stats - Pieces: 24 - Submissions: 117 - Rejections: 100 - Acceptances: 5

remembering how I went to NYC last year, arrived in times square, IMMEDIATELY saw the times square krispy kreme (with the hot sign on) and audibly squealed and beelined for it

It is truly *such* a treat to get to see the world from that vantage point, I was totally ensorcelled by the clouds during my flights to and from the PNW earlier this month

Accidentally knocked most of the Halloween Oreos to the floor and yelped "NO" so loudly and gayly that @beryl.rubacky.dev assumed I had seriously injured myself :(

No no these look excellent, I also took mainly food pics (and also am so sad we did not run into each other 😭)
