I’m glad to know it isn’t just me and maybe the amitryptiline add was working before this and will work again.

Hoping I level out by 8 PM and can still stream TNS as scheduled. My neurologist put me on a new preventative, and February had the fewest migraines I’ve had in AGES, so I’m just… feeling really discouraged. Can my body just work?

Awful, awful migraine week. Took PTO today without prior notice for the first time at this job because I woke up with yet another one and just couldn’t. I’m talking 7 migraines so far in March. Pretty sure the false spring threw my entire system into a tailspin. I hate it here.

Just found out that the BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW audiobook is in fact available for pre-order.

How did I find out, you ask?

A friend told me that she pre-ordered it.

Publishing is not a real industry. Publishing is several raccoons in a trenchcoat, I swear to God.

#FREELUD UPDATE:

Ludovic’s bond hearing is on Friday!

This does not change the fact that he is still expected in court for a deportation hearing in May, even if he is released.

The fight is not over, but we are hopeful that he will be free of ICE custody soon. Keep fighting!

The library where I taught a writing class for elementary schoolers a few months back just emailed me that:
- They saw my starred review in SLJ 🌟
- They already pre-ordered a copy for the library 🥹
- They want me to teach another class for summer reading… about dinosaurs.🦖

Streaming TNS tomorrow 8PM EST with the Combo Breaker crowdfund active ($222 left to raise!). May run an open lobby before or after bracket since I know I’m extremely rusty, having been preoccupied with #RE9. PULL UP!

My eyes weren’t even fully open when I saw the text that my sapphic space children are on Netgalley’s FRONT PAGE. This feels like I should be entitled to financial compensation for the speed at which my soul exited my body.

I knew I was gonna play worse being out of practice but I didn’t even make top 3 out of FIVE PEOPLE, played worse than I have in months, and feel like absolute ass.

Either I get food right now or I am fully gonna lose it.

This is the semi-competitive gamer/content creator side of my social media presence, unlike the Insta/Threads author pages, so if anybody I tagged is confused, it’s still me. 😂

This is where I swear way more often and thirst over Leon Kennedy. Balance in the Force.

Beyond thrilled to announce that BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW will also be coming to your ears via @prhaudio.bsky.social! 🎧

The dual POV structure is also being blessed with dual narrators: Gail Shalan as Kori, and @kdimerc.bsky.social as Adria. ✨🥹

🩷💜💙

How many pages does it take to get your attention? 👀📖

BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW is a sapphic YA reimagining of Hades/Persephone on a tidally locked planet (feat. a goofy robot sidekick.) 🩷💜💙 Out May 5, 2026!

I just woke up and this girl PULLED AN ALL-NIGHTER and is still raiding tombs 😭

I play on console

“Is it okay if I keep playing?” WHO ARE YOU

Finally waddled up to bed myself at 2 (magically 3? oh shit, daylight savings) AM to find her STILL PLAYING TOMB RAIDER and informing me she still thought it had just been midnight LMFAO

I didn’t know how to call my reps about concerns in an effective way a few months ago. I didn’t even know who my reps were a few months ago. I learned.

There was a time when you couldn’t do a BnB. You learned. This is no different, and it’s a lot easier than winning in FGs.

You don’t have to talk to a staffer if you don’t want to. Offices are only open during business hours on weekdays. Call late, early, or on a weekend day to leave a voicemail. Those are all still logged as concerns from constituents who could vote them out in the primaries.

Hi, my name is _____, and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I’m calling to urge [SEN NAME] to oppose the Trump administration’s attacks on both immigrant communities and legal citizens. I ask that [SEN NAME]… * demand a full investigation of ICE agents' indiscriminate use of deadly force against protesters; * demand a full investigation of the abusive and illegal conditions in so-called detention centers, as well as what has happened to the people who have disappeared; and * call for the complete abolishment of ICE, not merely an attempt to rebrand it when it is rotten at the core and a threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thank you for your time and consideration. My address is ______.

If you live in MD, Lud’s support team wrote a script you can use: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you live in elsewhere, here is the script I have personally been using in NJ. Updated since Kristi Noem is gone now; will update again to ask for a “no” vote on confirming the new guy.

Please don’t burn yourselves out on avenues that are unlikely to be effective. 5-10 minutes leaving voicemails for your two senators and your house representative is more than most people are doing. You don’t have to fight fascism single-handedly. Small actions add up.

What’s happening to Lud and others right now is extremely upsetting and can leave you feeling like unless you take dramatic action, you aren’t helping at all. That isn’t true. You don’t need to call every US senator. Calling your own still helps pressure them to act against ICE.

Calling reps that aren’t yours can actually cause indirect harm because you are wasting their time. They cannot help you, just like you cannot vote for or against them in their primaries. They could be helping their own constituents. Call your own reps.

Calling a rep that isn’t yours is like calling a plumber in New York because your friend clogged their toilet in Florida, while you live in Virginia. That rep can’t help even if they wanted to. I already tried my NJ reps and was told so very directly.

If you want to make phone calls for #FREELUD, please remember:

- If you live in MD, call *about Lud*

- If you live elsewhere, your reps cannot help Lud, but you can still demand their action against ICE *in general*

- Calling reps that aren’t your own does more harm than good

She has locked the cats out so she can eat potato chips in bed while playing Tomb Raider in her comfy sweats and I have never been more attracted to a person in my life

She thinks I’m laughing out of judgment (to which I would have no right) but I’m laughing because this is the BEST??? She found her game? Easy mode is forgiving enough to keep her engaged? She’s yelling at the TV and stumbling around and I LOVE HERRRR

I went to bed before she did on Friday because she was playing Definitive Edition on the PS5. She has her own PS4 on a much smaller TV upstairs that has gone almost entirely unused, and now she’s playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider on that while I play RE9 downstairs.

The girlfriend’s childhood dabbling in video games consisted mostly of a PS3 Tomb Raider.

She has discovered a couple of the PS4 entries, and suddenly she’s gaming… all weekend? Like she’s me?

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Call your reps, #freelud and fuck ice! If you get a sticker, all profits go to the boy and his freedom!

Just realized I accidentally typed the wrong state abbreviation at 1 AM. MARYLAND. If you live in Maryland.
