Removing a blowjob from my book and I am very sad about it.

Um. Things are getting worse really really quickly.

Taking a writing break like coming up for air as you swim.

I HAVE FINISHED MY OUTLINE FOR MY REVISION.

Frankenstein gave me life, killed me, and brought me back again only to leave the theater with my heart ripped to bloody pieces. I loved every second.

"I was right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo, and somebody was giving booze to these goddamn things. Won't be long now before they tear us to shreds."

A narcissist asserts dominance by taking whatever we hold dear and making it their conquest. The violation isn't just part of the process; it is the process---the proof that they can, and they will, lay waste to anything we love.

Revision coming along. Wish I had all the time in the world to write.

)fficially in the thicc of revising Galveston Gothic. I have never been more in love with this story. The culmination of the 125th anniversary of the hurricane my book is about + Frankenstein about to come out + spooky season is just IT for my creativity. I am FEELING this.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

I should have seen the downfall of civilization coming once HBO started airing "about the episode" cliff notes at the end of every show. "Too unable to think critically and understand what you're watching? Can't spot subtleties, foreshadowing, and character motives? We've got you covered!"

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

This morning, I drove by a group of high school girls holding signs by the side of the road before their school day started. Kindness is key! ☮️ You are enough! 🌈 Don't give up! 🌼 This generation of young women are still trying to hang on to hope. God, they deserve better than this.

sometimes the history parallels are a little too on the nose en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

I truly didn't believe there were THIS many weak-ass submissive men willing to lick boots and become obedient Nazi sheep, but here we fucking are.

I don't know why it took Colbert being fired to break me. But I am crying in my car. What a silly thing to mourn. He'll be fine. But it's just... Everything is getting worse so so fast.

Holy fucking shit this is real.

Grok is a great example of how conservative logic is just trolling. You can't separate the two. You can't be a reasonable racist. You're just racist.

Did you enjoy Mexican Gothic but wanted more steam? Do you love dark romance but crave more literary prose? I wrote a book you might like!

Annnnnd they did it.

Didn't make he cut. Ah well. I'll find a home for it.

Just realized most agents who told me they didn't know how to position my manuscript were honestly baffled and not just trying to be nice. "Southern Gothic historical romance telenovela inspired feminist horror written in Spanglish about bodily autonomy" is a weird genre blend!

Not everyone writes and reads like you do and that's okay.

When people in home decor groups ask "what do I do with this weird alcove?" I'm always so confused until I remember not everyone reads.

Other Latinx: Are y'all okay? I am not okay.

They're actively taking away legal status in order to deport brown and black people. Detaining US citizens. Treating fellow human beings like animals. Don't look away. Acknowledge that this is wrong so others can do the same. Most people don't pay attention. They don't know how bad this is.

There came a day when I finally let myself believe I could maybe write THAT book, the one I'd been wanting to write, the story I wanted to tell. It almost didn't happen at all. But it did. It is the second best thing I've ever done for my mental health, behind an ssri.

Mexican-American gothic infused with magical realism and romance. That's my niche.

My flash fiction piece made the shortlist for an anthology about butterflies! Woohoo!

An estimated crowd of 3,000 - 4,000 in Littleton CO. @indivisible.org #NoKings

I'm working on my Spanish working retail and I am so proud of myself. "Entiendo mucho pero no hablo bien," indeed.

I feel like the youths would love Cake these days. They're so vibey. (I've been on a Cake kick.)

Too much emotion is horror to me. So yes I write gothic romance.

When I'm writing, I always seem to enter through some hidden side door of emotion and never the structural front gate.

In-fuckin-sane. They are either in cahoots or their bubble is so toxic, I can't imagine what their reality even looks like.

I don't give a shit about Biden's decline. We elected a very old man. For fuck sake, it was between a kindly grandpa who forgot names sometimes or *GESTURES WIDELY.* What is wrong with people? This is beyond ridiculous discourse.

This aged beautifully. Seriously. Good job, universe.

I must know this. Signed, someone who dated a hockey player.

These people are insane. Just not fucking well.

Strains bounds of propriety? Strains…bounds…of…proprietary? Am I having a stroke? What is happening?

Just one area highlighting the need for liberal investment in media: Try to google any news issue and the bullshit right wing piece spinning it is free and near the top of the rankings, meanwhile the truth is paywalled and often not even on the first page of results
