When your leg just sort of gives up mid-step walking down the hall and you almost collapse into a puddle catching yourself with the other, one knows leg day has been achieved.
With the amount of sensationalist headlines and misinformation, each year April Fools has felt less fun.
Some of the online pranks I've seen today feel almost malicious.

I know US English says punctuation goes inside quotes, but every time I am writing non-dialogue, I go to great lengths to not end a sentence with quotes specifically because it looks so wrong to me.
UK has it right, honestly.
A pink powerpoint slide with the cover of The Need for Dandelions beside a text box that reads: I have a book coming out in just one week! Holy cow! The Need for Dandelions is a MM Fantasy Romance about two very different men being forced to work together. They clash at first, but after one terrible fight, they start to come to understand each other. However, just as they start to grow closer, a mysterious plague starts spreading through the district they work in. They must work together to save the city and each other.
Another pink slide with a text box next to a picture of Sasha and Galen sharing a kiss. The text box reads: Want a bullet point list of some cool things in this book? You’ve got it! MM Fantasy Romance Queer Normative World Flower Symbolism Sort of Enemies to Lovers Falling in love during a crisis Forced Proximity Fighting Government Corruption Oh. *Oh.*
A picture of Galen beside a text box that reads: Galen is a devotee of The Lady of Flowers, a goddess of healing and growth. He works as a healer in Candiru Quarter, a poor district in Dragonet City. No matter what, he’ll do his best to help those in need. A picture of Sasha beside a text box that reads: Sasha Rider is a guard in Dragonet City. He’s been assigned to guard Galen as he makes his rounds around Dragonet City. The only problem is that he hates The Lady of Flowers. This job is his personal nightmare. He’s very grumpy.
A text box on a pink slide that reads: The Need for Dandelions comes out March 31st Thank you so much to my editor, Chris Zable, my cover artist, Viktor Aleksander, my beta readers, and my ARC team! Y’all are my heroes!

I didn't have a phone that was more than just a phone until my 20s.
Of course I dont trust it or myself to make major purchases. I dont even trust it with banking apps.
Summer’s Cruel Warmth, Winter’s Gentle Chill art by Nush Deco Two boys, Jack Frost & Sunny Ray, sit under a tree. On the right side of the tree, everything is all winter, purple sky with snow flakes, icicles hanging off the branches, snow on the ground, & a patch of snow-free ground with crocuses blooming. On the left, the tree is full of leaves, the sky is blue, the sun is shining. The grass is green & various flowers bloom. Jack has gray-blue skin, white hair, & ice-blue eyes. He’s wearing navy blue shirt & pants under a silver jacket with wintery embroidery. Sunny has brown skin with a deep blush in his cheeks. His hair is made of vines with purple buds on the end. He’s wearing yellow shirt & pants under a gold jacket with flower embroidery. Each has a seal at their collars. They’re both barefoot. Jack wraps one of Sunny’s vines around his finger & frost plays along that vine. He looks fondly at Sunny, who has a huge smile
Hey, all, I’m very happy to introduce you to Sunny Ray & Jack Frost, just stealing a quick moment in their park before they run off to some formal event 💛🩵
From Summer’s Cruel Warmth, Winter’s Gentle Chill 🌞❄️
Many thanks to @nushdeco.bsky.social for putting so much love into my boys!
I'm in the same boat. Its so easy to shift into "job mode" once it is out in the world.

Aww, a good cuddle is always nice!
I'm reading this one right now as well. It is indeed nicely vicious, but I get the feeling the plot was never the focus as well.
You mean it's not normal to have black holes in the periphery? Shiiiiit.
Great stuff
Ugh. I say I need to keep using Reddit because it's how I keep up on anime news, but I'm going to step back from it for awhile.
The dooming really is an addiction, I already feel like I just quit smoking again.
A shojo style art piece featuring two men first looking at each other, foreheads pressed together as they smile gently. Another panel shows them kissing. The taller man is Sasha, with pale skin and short light brown hair and scruff on his chin. He's wearing leather armor and a green tunic. The shorter man is Galen, with tan skin and long auburn hair pulled into a bun. He has a large burn scar on his face and neck. He is wearing a yellow tunic. With a tumblr post that reads: you'll die for me. awesome. will you break a habit for me? will you learn something new for me? will you fix your mistakes for me? dying for me is surprisingly easy - it's often passive and instantaneous and you only need to do it once will you do the hard thing of constantly and consistently putting in the work again and again and again?
If you want a relationship like this, where it isn't enough to die for someone, but it is best to help them clean the kitchen and learn to fix their mistakes, check out The Need for Dandelions!

We've had so many cold-warm snaps, I can guess the upcoming weather based on if I can hear the spring birds or not.
Which sounds nice, but I find it concerning.
I have a highly specific problem with my kitchen sink, and I hate that search engines are so dogshit and unhelpful now that the two most viable options are call a plumber or ask an AI.
Ah, I've typed 'Chapter 1' on something new today.
But let's not ask about all those other WIPs...

Fuck it. It's a brigadeiro kind of day.
Its crazy that I can find a non-diagram photo of the inside of an ovary no problem, but actual photos of the inside of a testicle are like Where's Waldo in Google images.
(We dont ask writers why they are looking for these things, we just accept their search history lines up with serial kilers)

Just one month to go until Event Horizon: First Light Book 1 releases!
I won't lie; I'm pretty anxious! I poured a lot of love into it, so I hope it connects with people in some way. But I'm also immensely excited to share it with the world!
You should preorder it 😉

Finally got all three headpieces for the Rootbound Hearts Trilogy done.
What'cha think?
Mostly it was me tracing over a lot of pictures and combining them together.
