@hellomiakoda ours just forgets she has food and yells loudly about it until we encourage her to look. then she's like "ooh food" and chows down.

@hellomiakoda Uhhh 🤔 I’m a big fan of my gut bacteria.

(she says while actively killing them off with heavy-duty antibiotics)

@hellomiakoda I don't believe ANY of the HOA stories on YouTube anymore. I think they're just manufactured outrage to get YT $$

I don't even believe the ones claiming to be from reddit. I've tried searching for a bunch of those and none ever came up.

I think it's just all AI slop at this point.

When i put those protein drinks in my Amazon cart they said that based on what was in my cart, and what other people bought i should get some adult diapers.

I’m not sure what to do with this information.

I find it concerning.

… find acceptance, and love in an imperfect and uncaring world.

We need more examples of making space for that.

We need more poly stories, more sapphic stories, more demisexual MCs, more love in complicated, non-heroic times.

I’m not planning to pursue traditional publishing because in my first 4 books there are poly relationships, demisexual MCs, a selective mute, a mute, burn victims, limb differences, autism, ASL, Poly parents - one’s ace - with a young child, a genderfluid love interest, a masc nonbinary love interest, interracial relationships, pet play, an intersex MC, a trans MC, a little person MC, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, religious persecution, child abuse, sex trafficking, a bombing…

I know it doesn’t sound like it but these really are quiet books about sapphic, mostly-poly love, and found family.

Romance books ARE escapism, and i respect the feedback from some beta readers that they don’t want to read romances set in a world that sometimes cuts too close to the unkindness of the real world.

I love happy joyful romances where no-one looks askance at you for being queer, or different. But i also want to read romances that feel real, and model the idea that we can…

This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered. You simply *must * read it. It keeps getting better with every question.

Need to get up and take drugs but this beauty queen keeps purring on me

This is Banshee, and Banshee’s “teefers”

Banshee is a Hyena that lives at the Texas Wildlife Park which means I’ll never see him (because fascism).

@hellomiakoda what… what is that?

like i know what the game is, but wtf is this?

#Deaf folks: I'm writing a character who's dealing with sudden hearing loss, and I'm discovering fuck-all for what to do once that happens to you. Looking at all the US based hearing loss groups & state resources, and there's social support & medical, but literally nothing about learning ASL nevermind anything resembling "here's what you need to know re your new life challenges & how to cope"

a) wtf?!
b) What does learning #ASL as a deaf adult look like?

This is your friendly reminder that if you're a #mastodon user who regularly has something more to say than you can fit in 500 characters, I have a tool for that.

Even better, NONE of the data flows through my server. Once you've loaded the page everything happens on your computer.

You know what would be cool? Being friends with a trans woman my own age.

I think there are only 2 trans women I'm actually close with, and one of them's >10yrs older than me and the other's > 10 years younger than me.

I'm not sure I've even *seen* any trans women my age (early 50s) here on fedi. I hope there are some. 🤞

I just feel kind-of isolated. You know?

Anyway. If there are any 50ish yr old trans women out there looking for a friend… 👋

One of our driveway trees fell over in the windstorm the other day. We are in the middle of trying to stand it back up. Dachary is heading off to Home Depot to get rope.

(Home Depot - ICE supporting fucks - is the only hardware store within an hour of here)

Hopefully it won’t try falling over in the opposite direction.

It is staying up. We’ll see how long.

@hellomiakoda yeah. I had to stop playing it because it was just stressing me out.
