Geek, mom, queer romance writer. Also got called a smut wizard once. Find me at on Amazon or other retailers as Wendy Qualls, and on AO3 as wendymarlowe. she/her
(If you’re not familiar with Huntsville landmarks, that first one is a reference to this mosaic mural everyone calls “eggbeater Jesus.”)
Went to Lowe Mill and came home with two new shirts - huntsvillustrated.com is fantastic :-D
Meanwhile I’m at Campus 805’s free concert, eating a baked potato literally larger than my head. There’s spinach on it though!
(The cow is my old hometown - Eggbeater Jesus is for Huntsville!) Every hometown’s got the ominous megastructure. What’s yours?
Found this on Reddit today. Me: so this was basically me as a kid. My wife: That was also you in *college.*
I have started making jewelry again, after stopping for a decade or so, and I am VERY EXCITED for Dragoncon #DragonconSwagnSeek - making a ton of earrings and keychains to give away!
This is a cat checkpoint: show the most recent cat photo on your phone. Enjoy Cappuccino finally coming to terms with how her window perch is supposed to work (kinda)
We fostered her over Thanksgiving because all the other volunteers already had several cats, then we realized she’s basically hypoallergenic so I told J if he wanted an emotional support cat, this is the one :-D
She’s a precious little baby who really, really wants to murder a bird
Welp, Oreo found himself a new friend today. Not sure how long he had it in his crate, but it seems much happier in the bucket. Will have my kids release it when they get home from school :-)
me: so what did you do in school today? 13yo: I put Pokemon on my calculator!
Made fried rice tonight for the first time in YEARS and I think it came out pretty well :-)
Humans do this too - the board book “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See” was banned in a Texas school district in 2010 for being communist because a different Bill Martin wrote a book called “Ethical Marxism.”
Hanging out with Bluesky royalty today (and I got to pet a shark!) - thanks for the great experience, @whysharksmatter.bsky.social!
Going through this month’s Amazon statement and I did a double-take. (If you know my spouse, you know she would 100% order a missile from Amazon just because she could!)
Bonus: spiky damp puppy trying to wipe off all the water on his dog bed
Commissioned Lar to draw my next D&D character. I’d say he hit “antisocial gnomish beekeeper” square on the head!
Y’all deserve something cute today. Here is Cappuccino chillin’ in the bathroom sink.
I freaking love the theater tech teacher at my kid’s school :-D They do paint sets and learn soundboards, but they also learn sewing and conflict resolution.
