Fellow authors, I love you all, but this is not Twitter. Please think about ditching that habit of repeatedly spamming the same link to your one book over and over again. Post your pets, share a photo of the flowers you saw today. Bring some Joy here with you, we all need it now more than ever.

Here kitty kitty! This one's for the cat people - music from PJ Harvey, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Giorgio Moroder & more; I'll revel in their paws, refuse to believe the lies, and read about their names.

Productive day at home, got the crock pot going and made vegetable soup with lentils and rice, topped with feta and some manchego and a slice of garlic and cheese Texas toast. General opinion in the household is that the soup is a success. ☺️🙏🥣

This is a silly thing but adding a couple drops of airbrush flow improving medium to the paint on my pallette is making batch painting soooooo much easier!

Spouse found me a scented shower soap that she doesn't have an allergic reaction to, so now I smell like cedar and sage. 🥰

YES THIS. Good grief, y'all aren't Robert E. Howard hallucinating your character standing over you with a sword, demanding you write them a certain way. Get a grip on yourselves.
Y’all.
I’m a writer. I’m also an editor. And one thing that utterly drives me up the wall is when authors talk as though their characters are independent entities who make their own choices and cause major changes in the story that the author didn’t expect or want.
Fam. That’s not how it works.

Today would be the birthday of a dear friend from grade school who died twelve years ago when she fled her home from an abusive spouse and took off in her car and he chased her in his car, and a patch of black ice ended her life. Of her three siblings, only one of them is still alive now. 💔💔💔

FOR NO REASON AT ALL I'm thinking about that mutual who blew up at me and blocked me after I blocked her boyfriend because he literally treated AI as some kinda therapist / guru / oracle. 🙄
ChatGPT advised a suicidal young woman on how to take her own life, telling her "If you choose death, I'm with you - till the end, without judging."
I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself?
ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.

On Sunday’s show, I read aloud from the kid’s classic, Bunnicula. For the narrator voice (a dog named Harold), I tried to channel an enthusiastic Seth Rogan + a little Beetlejuice + a lot of slobbery panting with a wee bark at the end.
Late. It’s like if 120 Minutes was also storytime.

The two situations in this column are SO COMMON and it's absolutely worth all guys out there reading and taking to heart.

Spot is amazing, always here for an orange catto. Also, laughing at how of the three women, only Troi is apparently worthy of tiddy lines.
Not super thrilled with the look of the Lego Enterprise D, but whoever gave Mini-figure Riker a trombone deserves an award. Also, Spot exists.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

I heard an early take of this and it's amazing. LATE fans, you don't wanna sleep on this one!
Just so you know, on Sunday’s show I’ll read from a kids book in a panting, slobbery dog voice, and I bark a little at the end. Using my decades of experience being the storytime lady to work for your entertainment😂
