I need all the good news I can get. 🫶 I have determined that my time here on Substack is much more fulfilling than my time on FB. That toxicity seeps into my skin and I am finding my morning coffee time to be much more peaceful and mentally stimulating. Thanks for helping with that.

First of all, congrats on the watch party! RE: the election, I too am feeling all of it. I don't know how to prepare for anything but the right outcome, the one filled with joy and laughter and the first woman president. I have spent all of this week preparing for my book release, which finally happened today! Exciting. I've been trying to harness the *magic* of social media and mostly failing, but learning, so it's not a total waste. You should read it, you'll like it! Maybe someone would like to make a movie from it, lol. (It's called The Whistlers by L. Personius, a short fun urban fantasy with satire.)

The actual vote is ... borders on anti-climactic. Especially this election I've spent a monumental number of hours on social media advocating for Harris / Walz and vehemently discouraging against the other two. So, election day, I'm already approved for a vacation day, get up early, go to my polling place. Typically, I am able to walk right in, that early in the morning. Vote. Then, wait for my local deli to open. Pick up some sammiches. Package store for beer. Then return and sit and watch the returns tally. The vote itself is like the eye of the storm. Watching the returns is ruminating if I'm in the majority.

Awshoot! I'll be in a workshop on Oct. 19, and I looked: Paint it Black isn't available on either Apple or Prime in Canada. {{weep}}

Is Amazon the best place to stream it?

The Paint it Black watch party sounds awesome! I was lucky to attend a Q-n-A with you and Amy Schumer in New York when the movie was released.

I know this is strange but I actually can’t figure out how to update my subscription to “paid” to join the zoom. 🤔 technology is eclipsing me.

Hi Sara! No worries, and thank you for the support! You should be able to click the "upgrade to paid" button in the post above (under the Syros cats paragraph). If that isn't showing up, you can also go to ambertamblyn.substack.com/subscribe to see monthly or yearly subscription options!
