Okay, HAPPY PRIDE, and y'all need to dl Very Local and watch Queens of Birmingham! We adore these entertainers, both for the wonderful people and exceptional performers they are. Birmingham, AL has a very vibrant LGBTQ community, and I'm also glad people are getting to see that!

Pro tip re: seafood boils at a restaurant: only invite your trust circle, cause stuff gets wild. Also, if we had had table neighbors, I would have been in a lot of trouble due to an errant shrimp tail. This was just the two of us 😳

At what point in the #amquerying journey do I just have a breakdown and yell something like "IT'S PRIDE MONTH, AND I HAVE AN #OWNVOICES QUEERNORMATIVE BOOK" into the internet ether? ...sort of like I just did, but more official like 🏳️‍🌈🤣💅

My gf's reaction as I tell her I have started a new WIP. Super excited about this spooky, heat-scorched, hazy, LGBTQ romp through Nola's underbelly! MC only THOUGHT she knew what it meant to have a woman ghost her.

My fav pic of my partner and me. We were captains of a Mardi Gras ball in January. This is us dancing on the runway during set up, long before anyone got there 💜. Little did we know that our krewe would raise $20k for a local LGBTQ youth center.

Did anyone else ever write a love letter in high school? I wrote one (snail mail, thank god), and I sort of cringe to think about it now but am ultimately glad I went all in for the full teenage angst experience... I guess

Not sure what stage of life I’m in exactly, but I will say it’s the stage where you have a nightmare that you live in a giant house slowly filling up with cats. Anyone? Anyone? And I do love cats, but this was...something else lol

Y'all, I had to hat tip the universe yesterday. I'm very allergic to bees, wasps, etc. Yesterday, I got stung, went to urgent care (I'm fine), scrolled social while I waited, and this ad came up. Touché.

First day of my first ever Camp NaNoWriMo! Need 50,000 more words for my spooky, sapphic urban fantasy set in Nola…. sooo….

Alright, right as I was getting my Twitter legs under me, I bit the bullet and finally started an Insta. Welcome to ten+ years ago. I'm rosemynks on there and would love to see your lovely faces!

The Kitten is giving me serial killer vibes. He keeps scaring the ish out of my by leaving Mardi Gras doll parts everywhere (that he took apart). Like, at this point, is this a threat? 😅

fellow #campnano(-ers? -nians?), how are you doing? My process is taking on a strong 👇vibe.

In today's episode of "Everything is Weird in Alabama All the Time": insider.com/lana-del-rey-w…

I honestly cannot believe that I did, BUT I DID IT! #CampNaNoWinner2023 Tomorrow will start the one-eye-open approach to looking at what I did 😅. But I am proud that I stuck it out and very, very excited about this new WIP... spooky + sapphic + Nola dive bars + stabby feminism.

Long story short, got laid off in a RIF from my day job 😫 so have been quiet and figuring out that mess. BUT, hey, extra time for writing (new stabby feminist southern gothic WIP) AND reading this amazing new haul from Thank You Books!! So excited!

What better way to procrastinate than Canva? At 38, Estella's been ghosted by women before, sure, but nothing like the time she spent a steamy weekend in Nola with her high school ex-gf and discovered the next morning that the ex died 15 years ago. I mean, rude, and wtf? #newWIP

I was very excited to see $2 drafts for happy hour… and… well… sunglasses and purse for proportion🤣. I do, however, strongly agree that this is $2 worth of 🍻

In San Antonio to see P!nk and Brandi Carlile, and the food here is unreal! Had the best brunch earlier at Ocho at Hotel Havana and have 1000% become Ocho and Chef Kirk fan girls!

Spotify has big plans for my morning…I’m not even sure I know what this means 😂

Today is a very sad day for me. I have run out of glue and cannot further bedazzle anything for our Mardi Gras ball until more comes on Friday. Yes, I know there is plenty of E6000 in the world, but my heart lies with B7000.
