in mesopotamia there were no 'cover letters' or 'curriculum vitaes'. there were just, pots.

Okay, I've written the "shapeshifter lover" fantasy/kink thing, but if I take it seriously for half a minute I feel like this is how it would play out. XD

How I know I've been thinking about food too much lately: Dreamt last night I was reading a romance novel. (Oddity: dreaming about a clear fiction rather than a dream-reality) I barely remember the plot, maybe a couple lawyers in Atlanta and something about an inheritance? There's supposed to be lots of will-they-won't-they tension. He has her over for dinner, cooks amazing asparagus that has nothing to do with anything, she sleeps with him, eats leftover asparagus the next morning. Next night: same thing. Will-they-won't-they ends up with her sleeping with him at his house. Still more leftover asparagus for breakfast. Me: okay, all the will-they-won't-they tension of this book is hollow and meaningless, obviously she's not gonna leave all that asparagus behind.

Reporting for the sake of normalizing: I had my first colonoscopy today.

Day-before prep is pretty unpleasant, but not the most miserable thing I've ever dealt with. Procedure itself was pretty simple.

Hitting the Burgermaster drive-thru on the way home was goddamn amazing.

Anyway, if your doc recommends it, I can confirm it's not as big a deal as it sounds. It's just the pre-procedure day of not eating solid foods and pounding a giant jug of drink mix that isn't fun, but as medical stuff goes, it's definitely not the worst. And way better than dealing with actual cancer treatment stuff.

Hi! It's me! Except I don't really put it on the side.

Sometimes fade-to-black works. Sometimes you want a good book that also includes lots of full-frontal choreography (and comedy and explosions and polyamory and pillow talk and sexy speeches about sex and yes this is a shameless plug, sorry not sorry).

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven’t had your “third” death. You decide to find out why.

Okay I know there's a whole debate over whether it's okay to use negative reviews to hype your book, because power dynamics and letting readers have their space and all that. I see a lot of good points there. But like... from the audiobook of Good Intentions:

Woke terrorist.

I don't know what that means, but I'm a believer in content warnings. My content warnings are probably my strongest marketing tool apart from my covers. I kinda feel like everyone should know.

But my favorite part is how this dude still had to concede three stars Tess Irondale's narration 'cause she's that good.

I'm in a Star Wars ttrpg where the npcs have included Chacho Neese and Bemon Lars.

You cannot tell me those don't work as Star Wars names.

april fools day is actually the most sensible day of the year because it's the only day on which people will read something on the internet and stop for a second to consider whether or not it's actually true
