Taking a moment from screaming into the void about the relentless, heartbreaking chaos to say our sweet rescue pup turned 4! Happy birthday, Keno!
Happy birthday! ❤️

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the fires in LA. Heartbreaking.

Merry Christmas!
They almost sometimes kind of like each other.
My mom passed away peacefully last night. Grateful to have been able to provide hospice for her in my home in her final days.
Since the election, I’ve felt the urge to return to novels I was working on during his last chaotic administration. They’re all darker, more about surviving than thriving. A reminder that making art is a form of resistance. #writing

The heater died and we’re all hunkered down with blankets here. HVAC tech coming tonight.
Why do short weeks feel so long? My brain desperately wanted it to be Friday all day.
Would also love to be added. Thanks!

Penny wishes you all a good morning. Except the dog. She has little interest in him.
Same. Regardless of what time I go to sleep.
This is Keno. He is awkward. He’s my beloved walking buddy but he often acts like he doesn’t know where his legs go.
I’ve mostly been on Threads, but I’m happy to see so many of us over here too! Hello fellow writers, feminists, hikers, dog and cat owners, and community-builders!

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

Had our first night away from Keno since rescuing him over a year ago. It was nice to sleep without getting edged out by the dog and also nice to come home to his smiling face.
Good night!
