I write mainly queer general fiction and romance, but I also dabble in horror, science fiction, and fantasy.

@housewelf A lot of parents don't seem to get if your kid can't sit still/keep quiet for the duration of a wedding, which is objectively boring for a kid, they can't come.

It's easier to ban kids than explain they don't want one specific person to bring their kid.

@thisisnefertiti You don't have to use them, but having pockets after the decorative pocket/ pocket free phase is a win.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@TinyWriterLaura I sit things down and lose them, so purses tend to wander away. I love pockets!

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@Laura_Audrey12 @TinyWriterLaura A lot of them are too small, and there was a pretty big decorative pocket craze (no actualpocket). Enough that I check the pockets on every pair of pants years later.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@TinyWriterLaura A ton of clothes still have uselessly small pockets as well.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@STRONG_PlSS Absolutely. I seriously think they just use an out of sight out of mind philosophy.

@KinaMagica I think its weird because its not even just gender neutrality. Its like, some people are being raised by family members that aren't their mother and father. That seems entirely reasonable

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@Krissa_Kray_ I think it's something that works really well in cities with high population density. Where a subway train comes every 3-5 minutes.

You get outside that, my 10 minute drive is now an 1.5 hour bus ride with 3 transfers than don't line up. Also it only comes once an hour.

@belehakalife @heavensbvnny Yeah, I got Alexa to do reminders every 10 minutes for the things I HAVE to do. It must say what the task is. Otherwise, why is an alarm going off?

@KateCornell Last I checked, 2 years ago, you could buy it. It cost the same as 3 years, and it was device specific.

I replaced my laptop, have a desktop, and my phone. Only includes one drive and online storage with subscription. Basically the subscription was cheaper for me.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@chenteYe @SoyDaniloDiaz Not even remotely true.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@dozingdahlias @evek181818 This is what I was looking at. These are the low end of brands.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@stayjoyful_ I feel like the author might have worded that badly. I think they meant that they don't condone this kind of behavior.

If you read it dead on, like some do, it implies they don't condone what they wrote.

It's obvious what they meant, but some people jump on ambiguity.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@Corbienest @butchbatnix I feel like there is a reason the roommate moved out and it might be the "what's yours is mine" attitude

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@Official_TVC I don't think it's a matter of counting or not. I don't know how they know what's going on.

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@XBaeanneX A radio host, New Year's Day said something that stuck with me. "Every person who is doing something your aren't, is not doing something you are. The person who does 2 hours at the gym every day might not be reading or watching TV or cooking. You only see what you aren't doing"

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@IDontWannaGo_ @LaNoireDe This! When did it become a competition? Like you wanna brag tell people the percentage of your reading goal you obtained. The goal should be hitting your personal target

[Anne McSommers @AMcsommers]

@LaNoireDe I think it's weird how many people seem to feel the need to justify it. I have read 35 book so far this year. I read 3 last year.

Sometimes you're just doing different things. That's okay. It's just not a reading year for you.

This hasn't been a workout year for me.

@tk_sunrise I will say I have both bought and pirated. Purchasing to support the author, but pirating because purchased ebooks can often be taken away or changed by the places offering them. I want a copy that can't be taken away from me.
