Margaret Trauth is mostly on Mastodon now. BLM.

Yay, three solid hours of work today AND some shopping. It's like I'm productive or something.

Dang, Vandermeer’s “Authority” sure does not apologize for being the middle book in a trilogy. It comes to a moderately satisfying end but it also answers exactly zero questions raised by “Annihilation”.

I also recognize that I am in a pretty enviable position: I pay my (frugal) bills by drawing what I like, because my collective fandom has enough spare cash for my Patreon page and the odd commission to cover most expenses.

Anyway if any of my followers knows an editor with a hole in their YA GN line shaped like a furry space opera that’s also Baby’s First Rashomon then point them my way, wouldja? Thanks.

I don’t wallow in the envy and I know there’s a lot of hard work and luck behind those awards but geez, I sure do envy being able to make shit that people wanna celebrate, and making shit someone wants to pay someone else to promote!

Seeing something rt’d around about how you should never envy your peers &, you know, this is a nice sentiment but here I am with about 5 peers sitting on Hugos & Emmies & best sellers & whatnot & me with <2k followers here and utter obscurity &…Comparing myself never feels good.

A woman in my dreams this morning told me she really, really wanted to eat my ass. I demurred and said, well, we’ll see how we get along as housemates first, ok? Her name was Kate, she said.
