New followers! If you like videos, I make a lot of them about my books and other creative ventures!

I like short and long-form content for different reasons, so I make both! A follow/subscribe would mean a lot to me as a completely independent, self-published author 💕
if you like books with queer casts in their late 20s and up trying to navigate their love lives amidst trauma then boy did I write the duology for you

I've not been doing a very good job of hyping my own work, but I promise it's good and worth it. Read it. Love the lesbians and gay men and gendermonster queers who are all trying to figure out how to be immortal, love blood, and maybe each other:

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

"m/f is only good when it's t4t" "I like this ship but only when it's bi4bi" "she has to be pegging him" gently holds your hand. you do not need to qualify the things you like to justify liking them

Btw guys I missed when it happened but one of the highlights of my existence in this site is when the Whimsicott Mention account finds my posts 😌
I debuted my Pokemon beverage charms in August this year and I have to say… I did not realize this many people loved Whimsicott

y’all are right. I’m just surprised at how many of y’all there have been.

if i've learned anything from in person events like fanfest, magiccon, and even fan run events, it's that most negativity you see in nerd communities online is more often than not just an obnoxious and loud minority

Overseas fans first played #FinalFantasy III 19 years ago (2006) with the DS remake!🍃 The job-change system started here and the OST is underrated nowadays. It has since been ported to PC, mobile, and Ouya! (Remember Ouya?)– plus the Pixel Remaster.

I’m home and in bed, so now I can say: thank you for the fun times, Twin Cities Con!

I did not renew my table. This con is very expensive for me to come to, compared to the others I sell at, and I cannot keep taking financial Ls of this size. But, I may apply later if things change.

Hey, you!

Did you read either Basodin book and ended up with a desire to know just how tall everyone was?

I present to you: this handy graphic!

I think more video game people should read books. I think they would like books.

Come to table K14 for an ass kicking* if you’re at Twin Cities Con

*there will be no actual ass kicking. Table K14 is a peaceful place. No guarantees about any ass kicking of emotions after you’ve read any of my books, though.

I'm pretty clear eyed in the ways the US suck not least because they invaded my parents' country and had a big hand in destabilizing it which is why I live in the US in the first place.

But it is exhausting talking to Canadians, Australians and Europeans whose only use for the US is as a foil
