So, the pub date for Death’s Door is set for August 11th. I’ll have preorders up soon. This is the last book in the first arc of the series—the last Magdalene/Omar book. You wanna see the cover??!? (Art by my husband, design by Ashley Redbird, no AI used ever ever)
How dead inside must you be to look at this face and be like, no. That cannot be in my vicinity
I’m realizing all the photos are in branch convos so
Kid sent me a care package of makeup from the states. The cosmetics here (sorry) suck fucking ass. I wish I knew how to do makeup but I like the colors
Daughter sent me a care package to BiH which included a Luigi Mangione crop top. Very appropriate, much appropriateness, thank you

When you’ve progressed to saying things like, “This is Jolene, but we call her Hamster Pants” you have to admit you’re edging dangerously close to a foster fail
There’s I think lots of songs about cuckoos too but I know the kookaburra song. Very different vibe of bird 😂
It is a big, old linden planted at the crossroads, covered in death notices and guarded by blackberry brambles so I have to get my husband to help me pick more (he is slightly taller and infinitely more industrious, being Bosnian)
I was jogging yesterday and I smelled an amazing smell and I heard Many Bees and I traced it to a tree. And I’m like, is that a linden tree? Like the cuckoo bird, something I’d heard about but never encountered irl Friends, it is a linden tree. A bitch is making sachets I am going back for more
Please stop what you’re doing. This is important
I feel like this is probably illegal because I am not actually part of the UN but my landlord left this here (I gave it back. Under duress)
This is all I should have to show a doctor here in order to get my adhd diagnosis reconfirmed I am ACTUALLY DRINKING ALL OF THEM
Sound up on this. I was UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I’m like “this bird is so famous in my country but he doesn’t tour there”
My phone updated and that means the camera (among other things) fucking sucks but the flowers were good
We tried to drive into the hills to a waterfall today, and to no one’s surprise the racoonmobile overheated. So we parked and walked the last 5km, which was quite pleasant on the rural lane. Balkans rule the wildflower game, y’all
This sounds like an episode of Lucifer
Mama dog is so proud of herself for protecting us from *checks notes* a terrified hedgehog
The wind fucked up some flowers so I get a nice desk bouquet
