- Scheduling my #foodpit posts! It's my husband's birthday tomorrow so I'm going to not be as active on here but will try and hop on some to support others!
- For over a year now I have posted every day on the ⏰ app but I finally deleted it off my phone and tbh it’s really freeing. The new ToS made my gut churn among many other things. It's no longer the same. 😥 My account is still there but I couldn’t have it on my phone any longer.

- My YA sapphic awakening book DOES LOVE ALWAYS WIN? is featured this week on @jaeauthor.bsky.social's sapphic book bingo for the category "set in a school or academia." Thank you Jae! My book and the other books set in a school or academia setting can be found below.
- My sapphic book doesn’t sell too well at in person events but the one time someone came into the bookstore and immediately came up to my table and said “OMG this looks sapphic.” And I’m like it is!! And they yelled at the top of their lungs “Yes!! I’m sapphic!!!” And then I remembered why I write. 💕
- Had so much fun during #bluepit yesterday! Thank you for everyone's support!
