@AllyMalinenko I love how you have to pay extra for haunting.

Those not haunted dolls are lying 👀

@AllyMalinenko Baked mac and cheese?

Best dinner

@EdB1947 @softtosslefty @CoolAuntClaire @ernursemem @jkm563 Sounds like a plan. 🙂

@softtosslefty @CoolAuntClaire @ernursemem @jkm563 @mpendleton So, Adam, at midnight on Saturday, please join Claire and me in our annual joint birthday toast. Michelle?

@AllyMalinenko Sending hugs

It's been a very long bad week in a very bad year and today my belt buckle broke and I burst into tears on the sidewalk Like Bukowski said - it's not the large things that send a man to the madhouse no, it's the continuing series of small tragedies that send a man to the madhouse

@AllyMalinenko You are so welcome!

Thank you @mpendleton for this lovely gift to help me get through my edits. My followers are the best people

@AllyMalinenko I’m so sorry to hear that, Ally. Will definitely hug all my people today.

I'm going to a memorial service for my friend's 18 year old kid on Sunday so this is just my reminder to all of you, hug your people

@mattlanza @MethodistHosp Round 1 implies there will be further rounds… May the pain meds do their job, and wishing you a quick and complete recovery

My kidney surgery in July was not in the cards for 2024. But oral surgery had been planned for orthodontia and sleep apnea. Round 1 is done. Uncomfortable. But not too bad. I want to thank Dr. Gateno and the staff at @MethodistHosp for taking good care of me!! Great team.

@mattlanza Cannot wait for Wednesday

But! If there is good news, the temperatures look delightful after tomorrow. FINALLY!

It's been a busy few weeks for me, and I've got an oral surgery coming up this week, so i took most of the weekend off to not look at anything weather.

@mattlanza @keribla I was wondering how she got the moth story assignment as well

@keribla For a second I thought you were on the almond moth sex beat. Which, hey I mean that’s cool and all. But now I see. 🤪

If you forgot to send me hate mail about this story when it ran online, now it’s in print! Don’t miss your chance. latimes.com/california/sto…

@AllyMalinenko Ally…

Broken Dolls coming September 2025

@mattlanza Sorry Matt, but that made me snort

I hate everything.

@AllyMalinenko Hey Ally—just sent a message from your author site. Not sure how often you check it or get emails from there.

lol okay I might have fixed this book 🤪

@AllyMalinenko It’s definitely been a tough year for you

Three people in my age group that I was friends with died this year. It’s been a lot

@OneNerdyOpinion Debbie Ridpath Ohi is one of my favorite author/illustrators, and she has some great posts on this, particularly if you are trying to get into traditional publishing. debbieohi.com/resources/for-…

So I have a concept for a children’s book about Dandy. Does anyone know what steps I would need to take to move that closer to reality? Things I know: the story Things I know that I don’t know: how to draw, how long it should be, if there is interest, how the whole process after the story is written works. Things I don’t know that I don’t know: lots probably.

@AllyMalinenko Dang it, Ally

Guys this episode is terrifying and I need everyone to wash their hands ALL THE TIME

@Chris_Davenport So glad she’s OK

Thanks to all who helped us get my mom out of the house during the fire. She’s fine & the house is fine.Thanks to all the who helped to keep the fire at bay with garden hoses. Last thank you firemen. Could of been way worse.

@JamesPonti @MrsCHeidrich I just preordered the audio of City Spies 6!

@MrsCHeidrich Sherlock Society 2 and City Spies 6.

@mattlanza Don’t get the pitchbot started…

@AllyMalinenko Ouch! Hope you are ok. When I was doing a pre-op procedure last year, I blew out four IV tried before they finally got it to work, and my hands did not look like this.

The phlebotomist did me dirty

@garrt Everyone wants to see her take on the wings of death
