Well, Tweeps, I’m not deleting my account, but is seems like Mastodon is a cool(er) place.
If you wanna connect, I’m @[email protected] on there. I’ll probably keep being most active on Indtagram, tho, where I’m @mhowalt 💙

[Marie Howalt @mhowalt]

Agreed!

My hot take: Although highly influential and prolific, Isaac Asimov was a jerk and I don't give a hoot about his birthday.

[Marie Howalt @mhowalt]

@creakychanges Oh, that is good! I find that usually helps very much. I hope you’ll start getting better soon.

[Marie Howalt @mhowalt]

@creakychanges I’m sorry to hear of the depression. That’s no easy beast to wrestle.

Twitter just told me I’ve been a member for 12 years …

[Marie Howalt @mhowalt]

By the way … I’m not on here often, but are we even still using Twitter?

@TanyaKMaxwell Yay! Thank you! :D

[Marie Howalt @mhowalt]

Now that I’m dropping by Twitter for once: An update!
- Colibri Investigations book 2 is with my beta readers.
- I’m lowkey working on book 3.
- And (very lowkey) book 4.
- Also, I just started writing a new and secret project.

Happy 100th episode to the Danish podcast #scifisnak and its brilliant hosts @4ND3RS & @jenspoder! It was so much fun to attend the live recording last night!

So I did a thing with my hair. 💙

Vintage fountain pens are cool.

I can tell the weather is getting cooler from the number of cats in my bed.

From PAPERCLIP published by @MeerkatPress .

"You can film how it pleases you, you can meet whoever you want, you can speak and ask questions—but no voiceover. No whitesplaining, even if it comes from a good intention. You know what they say about hell . . .”

So today, I have cake, and I reflect and recharge. I take some selfcare time and do things that make me happy, like writing.

[Marie Howalt @mhowalt]

Today is Cake Day; a thread:

That’s what I call the anniversary of the injury that caused my chronic illness and completely changed my life 7 years ago. I decided to make treating myself to cake on this date a tradition some years back in order to not only feel upset.

[Marie Howalt @mhowalt]

And that’s great, but it’s okay to be sad and upset too. It’s okay to acknowledge that it still hurts. Those feelings are not dominant now, but it’s still important to find the space for reglecting on them. Giving yourself time to heal is important. Balance is key.
