@grammargirl I've definitely seen a fair share of foxes availing themselves of my comfy garden furniture. They do a leisurely stretch in the morning when they see me moving about, no concern at all to being seen, then saunter off. At least the poops seem to have stopped... 😅

Happy for the HarperCollins Union; massive win there, but you know what's really fun? US *entry level* salaries are now higher than my salary after 5+ years in the industry. We love publishing 🙃🥲

books that suddenly pick up the pace halfway through and you just know will result in an unplanned, unscheduled all-nighter: W H Y 🫠 #bookstodon

Finally getting around to reading I'm Glad my Mom Died and... 100 pages in, and babes I didn't know her but I am also glad! jfc #bookstodon

@NotWavingButGardening Definitely B. They may miss you but at least they're still surrounded by your scent and comforted by familiar places. Even if the cat sitter is a stranger, they can hide during the daily visit and then venture out once it's safe again (they will usually warm up to the sitter eventually, if they want pets badly enough lol) 🐈‍⬛

Fur baby has cystitis, again. Vets are confounded as to why, given no major stressors in her tiny world recently to provoke anxiety and trigger the cystitis. My suspicion? Anxious owner, anxious pet. Time to stock up on feliway and bladder support supplements for kitty's life 🫠 #CatsOfMastodon

Love a Hardback book as much as the next book hoarder but reading them on a packed train while standing up is a Struggle 😅
