And, since I am into this sort of thing, Pocket Soup Part II!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHICMQ1YDm4

I just remembered if I replace the water in my ice cube tray with coffee, I can cool my iced coffee with more coffee...

Has Red Baron Pizza gotten saltier? Yikes! The salt! It burns! It burns!

Reading some of Alan Turing's writing for an essay I'm working on and was thinking how amazingly well words convey not just thoughts, but voice--it can really feel like the writer is just chatting with you.

Had such a great walk around the neighborhood today. 💖 I know that Hollywood has its day-to-day problems, but sometimes it catches the light just right, there’s music in the air, and it’s the most beautiful city in the world. And even if it’s not, it certainly acting the part.

I’ve got really cool readers. It’s kind of amazing. That’s all I wanted to say. That and thank you thank you thank you! ✨💖✨

Hi Folks! If you're in Rancho Cucamonga on May 2, please drop by! I'm signing books and chatting about the upcoming graphic novel. 🤩 I was added late, so no promo material but I'm there from 11 am-2 pm! Here's @gailsimone.bsky.social! I'll be sitting somewhere around her, so just look around. <3 https://www.instagram.com/p/DXaCrzPklMd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

i’m gonna try to take a bit of a rest and then tonight go back to the novel novel 😊 they’re both coming along well.

Migraine's died down a bit, so I was able to finish and send the latest draft of the graphic novel. Yay!

Migraines are stupid. Whoever invented migraines should say they are sorry and go away.

Gosh!!!! Thank you so much @rickriordan.bsky.social for reading and recommending my book!!! ✨🍩✨ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I was thinking of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and how “Presidents of the Caribbean” would be a far better ride. Replacing the pirate animatronics with presidents, but having them do all the same things...shooting, looting, pillaging, behind bars, ending up in flames...that would be awesome.

A good writing day today. Not an easy writing day, but a good writing day. I think I put in some of my best stuff. :D

Oh, I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee. I don’t know how a banjo would get stuck upon my knee. Oh, Susannah! Please come and set me free! It’s really quite annoying with a banjo on my knee.

I mean...go outside and look at the Moon and think Wooooowwwww!!!! Human beings have flown BEHIND that. And now we are doing so again. We're a pesky and tenacious little species, aren't we?

Artemis II 🤩 Yay!!! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasas-artemis-ii-crew-experience-total-solar-eclipse-from-space/

Marriagetoxin. Someone on reddit described it as "an assassin specialising in poison teams up with a cross-dressing marriage swindler to find a wife in order to prevent his lesbian sister from being forced into an arranged marriage." I am good with this.

@gailsimone.bsky.social and @amerrill2.bsky.social are amazing and magical and I am super grateful to have met them. 💖 That is all.

It figures. I hang out with @mollylewis.wtf on a boat for a week and this happens. Seriously, this minichord is SO MUCH FUN! (Molly, thank you for introducing it to me!) ps--everyone should follow @mollylewis.wtf because they are amazing.

"omeoneon" Ever look at a rough draft then see an uncorrected typo and wonder what the heck you were trying to write?

Enough “Thunderbolt” Ross. I want to see BOB Ross become the titanium white, sap green, and pthalo blue Hulk. And he’d never get angry—he’d just call you a happy accident as he beat the devil out of you and punched you into the happy little clouds.

Yay! I remember taking this photo!!!! Thank you to ‪@cortjstr.bsky.social and to @onemorepagebooks.bsky.social!!! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Few things are more relaxing than Bob Ross getting crazy.

I just realized that when I learn a piece of music, it's just like reading a novel. Yes, it takes more time (at least for me), but it gives the same thrill and enjoyment and discovery. And when I play a piece I already know, it's like rereading a favorite novel, like reconnecting with an old friend.

I am feeling very cozy and loved after the JoCo cruise and that is weird and alien feeling to me...it's a little like codeine, but without the nausea and itchiness. I think I'll go with it. 😍 Thank you so much, @jococruise.bsky.social ! <3 ryka

28 Mar 2026 14:30 +0000

i’m leaving the JoCo cruise super excited to try knitting in Continental style— something that might be easier to do with chronic pain, and that I learned about thanks to the incredible @gailsimone.bsky.social.💖, which is really cool, because I have all of this beautiful Icelandic yarn!
