I don't ask for much, but Tom Brady having to say "Super Bowl MVP Sam Darnold" would heal my wounds.

Well, this short story idea won't leave me alone. I might have to write it.

Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I just finished the line edits on it and if I see it again I'll meltdown like a toddler whose ice cream fell off the cone.

“Kill the part of you that cringes.” Why are you trying to kill my shoulders???

@naga For a series with so much heart in it, it really is one of the dirt worst offenders in disability representation.

@Lucaas That is so sweet of you! Thank you both for helping him out, and for telling me. That's just lovely.

Copy editors have a very important job: to unceasingly remind me that I will never know the difference between "toward" and "towards."

Fighting especially hard with my lungs today, so I'm acutely reminded how much respiratory disability is used to code evil and monstrosity. I don't think I've ever heard a single sympathetic character in movie history make the noises the bronchitis has me making right now.

Me: Ugh, bottom feeders.
Friend: They’re just called “tops.”

"Let that sink in." No, I will not. I have too many sinks. There isn't room to let more sinks in.

It's unorthodox, but I don't think you should rely on polling data to determine whether you should put out a wildfire.

A reminder for my fellow asexual and aromantic peeps.

You don't owe anyone sex, or sexelessness, or an explanation. You just have to be. Don't let anyone take that from you.

I have no Reading comprehension. But to be fair, I need a GPS to get around a lot of Pennsylvania cities.

In the near future, a monster stalks the world's bedrooms. It has slain every other mattress and box spring it can find. Sofas are annihilated on sight. It reigns supreme.

Horny couples have no other choice. But the temptation is what gets you killed.

This Summer, there will be... ONLY ONE BED.
