The vet who did Sophie's spay surgery today: She had anesthesia so she might be a little groggy and low energy. Sophie:

There is a new baby in my house! Everyone meet Sophie. She's currently a foster but I'm already planning to keep her. #cats

Howl started chemo today. It won't fix him but we're hoping it gives him a few more good years. #cats

Post an album you've listened to 100+ times. Honestly it's their entire discography, and "listened to" doesn't begin to encompass what I've done 😅

Had an absolute BLAST at #HayFestival and seeing The Amazing Devil perform live was truly the experience of a lifetime!

#MemeMay #WriteSky I've already done this with my leads so instead have 2 major supporting characters: Naveen Andrews as Morian and Shohreh Aghdashloo as Ellereve

Elizabeth Rubio@rubiowrites· May 25

#MemeMay #WriteSky I don't know a lot about Pokemon so I'll say Vaporeon for Lir and Flareon for Faris.

He's home! I was a bit muddled this morning so to be clear: his biopsy was not for his heart. We didn't know about the arrhythmia before today and it made the biopsy risky. But he's a trooper and pulled through just fine! Thank you for your good wishes!

Elizabeth Rubio@rubiowrites· May 19

My sweet boy Howl is at the vet for a biopsy. They discovered an arrhythmia but we're going ahead with the biopsy to avoid long delays. Still very risky. Please cross your fingers and light your candles for him. I love him so much. #cats #CatSky

#MemeMay #WriteSky Lir would be a 12-layer cake: plain on the outside but layered inside. Faris would be a fruit tart: fruity, sweet, and surprisingly complex.

Congrats! That definitely tracks given the hold queue at Austin Public Library.

#MemeMay #WriteSky He is so disappointed.

#MemeMay #WriteSky This is basically Faris's philosophy. Lir would not find this very funny.

Text post that reads "if you get bitten by a shark, bite it back. You'll still probably die but the shark will be like "lol what""

Meet Fisher, the newest member of our household!

#MemeMay #WriteSky I have two main characters. Faris and Lir are basically this.

No lie, look what happened

A screenshot showing the quoted post above a message from BlueSky stating "You've reached the end of your feed!" which is just a bald faced lie because the quoted post is 1 day old and this user has been following hundreds of accounts for months. Lol.

Elizabeth Rubio@rubiowrites· Apr 23

Oof, this. Anytime I see long posts about what will happen in some movie or show or book, I can't help but think that a lot of people don't take in stories the way I do. I don't want to be a detective, I want to be the audience. I trust the story to show me what it wants me to know.

Screenshot of the article that reads, "I hate predicting what will happen in a story.

I like thinking about what will happen, sure, and I like analyzing how each piece of the story contributes to the greater whole when all is said and done, but if you ask me "Who's gonna be the new King of Westeros?" or "Who's the killer in this season of True Detective?" or even "Will Captain America say 'Avengers Assemble'?" I am simply, deeply, almost obsessively uninterested. I just want to let the story tell me what it's gonna be."

The thing is, we are living in the America that launched Artemis II. This one right here. Remember that the Space Race happened because of the Cold War. There will never be a society of only fear and hate OR of only love and joy. If you want love and joy, find and encourage it. Moon joy!

Post from Jacob Harris @jacobharr.is: Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

If you're local to Austin and interested in adopting this very sweet and cuddly boy, stop by PetSmart on Brodie this Saturday at 2 or reply here and we'll set something up! #Cats #CatRescue #AdoptDontShop

I thought I couldn't name my fave book of 2025 bc I don't use Goodreads or anything BUT I discovered that Libby keeps a list so I can confidently say that THE SECRET LIVES OF COUNTRY GENTLEMEN by @kjcharleswriter.com was my top book of the year.

My partner and I went to our city's Trail of Lights event, which we enjoy wholeheartedly and unironically. It's a massive free event with many Christmas displays and ~1000 squealing children. Pure joy.

Ooo today's prompt is "cast your wip" and I find it much easier to write if I know exactly who I'm writing so I started with casting my leads! Jacob is Lir, the stoic noble, and Ncuti is Faris, the flashy commoner.
