Happy Onyx Storm Eve! See you after I've finished and not a single page before. 🫡 #SpoilerFree

Not during sex with Milo, mind you. But during sex.

Everyone's talking about The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived for Monday, but I feel like the playlist is
🎯 mad woman
🎯 Cassandra
🎯 exile
I suppose in the end we'll all watch it burn together regardless of the tunes. 🙃

If I start spending my doom scroll time here, Bluesky better be the one that survives. This platform hopping nonsense is for the birds.

But I am enjoying the hell out of it either way. 🤷‍♀️

Me: The kids are back to school. The house is fiiiinally quiet enough to write.
Also Me: Definitely going to write at a coffee shop today.
