Just finished "Tegan and Sara Junior High" which I LOVED! It was like what I wished "Sweet Valley Twins" would have been like. :)

Immigrant Rights are HUMAN rights. If you or someone you know is stopped by ICE, please remember you have the RIGHT to remain silent! That includes NOT giving your name if asked.

The challenges of being an artist/creator of any kind; it's so easy to fall into the "something is better than nothing" and "at least my work is out there" mentality. Maybe we should present this as a panel or formal discussion @kazwindness.bsky.social?

I am! I recently got the edits back and hoping the book comes out in 2026! How are you and what are you up to these days?

Loved it! So much fun and as I said, so relatable (and not just as a knitter!). Thanks for writing it!

Instead of diving into edits for the next book, I picked up @jodimeadows.bsky.social's BYE FOREVER, I GUESS. It's been a while since I've read a book in one sitting which is a sign of how much I loved it! Very relatable and great writing. If only more people in real life were as sweet as "Traveler".

Cooking means listening to audiobooks and today's flavor comes from "Death was the Other Woman" by @lindalrichards.bsky.social and read by Joyce Bean which I'm enjoying. Good writing and good narration. :)
