Writer. Reader. Walker. Thinker. I don’t limit myself to one genre in reading or in writing, but spec fiction features most prominently in both. Also, a vet 🐶

@BothersomeWords @RWAus Interesting choice of workshop name. Um... was it intentional??

Current inner monologue:
me: Bleeeergh
also me: 🎵 ba-by shark do do do do do do *involuntary head bob*
me: fuck this shit
also me: 🎵 daaaa-ddy shark do do do do do do

It is apparently (somehow) possible to feel mentally like shit and have baby shark stuck in your head.

[Michelle Birkette @m_birkette]

Love this.

Let’s make this a thing. I’m putting ‘sexual debut’ into my vocabulary right now and using it at every conceivable opportunity.

[bug @thought_bug_]

“losing/taking virginity”

- turns sex into an object
- places pressure on the decision
- you don’t actually lose or take anything ?

“sexual debut”

- exciting
- all focus is on u
- suggests a musical number is involved

@BothersomeWords Hahaha I should have—it would have been a lot warmer. I’m freezing! 🥶

Ha! Best description ever:

“He had the lingering stare of a fellow who saw breasts as an obvious yet fascinating impediment to intelligence.”

Oh hey so here’s our cover for issue 76, coming very very soon! Get ready for giant statues, bureaucratic magic, and the dangers of the steppes. Oh and blowing up a moon. Ancient poetry. Feelings. Stuff like that. Nanobots getting into your hair. I mean, I could go on.

writing is cool because the more you write the more you learn, but the more you learn the higher your standards raise, so despite making progress it feels like you’ve gone nowhere haha that’s neat

[Jacqueline Carey @JCareyAuthor]

I quite love this. (Also, sheesh girl, you need to get some better friends.)

[Michelle Birkette @m_birkette]

@BothersomeWords Oh no oh no oh no! Is he okay? All the love!

[Michelle Birkette @m_birkette]

Just arrived in Dublin for Worldcon #Dublin2019

Can’t tell if I’m miraculously unjetlagged or too deleriously tired to even know that I’m tired.

Regardless, I’m feeling good 😊 When is is Guinness time?
