Omg hi Yim!! Hope you enjoy your time here in whimsical tumblr and I just wanted to say that your writing is awesome, I’m loving CB so much. Jules is probably one of my top three favorite MCs.

Also kinda off topic but, as a queer latina and an immigrant, thank you so much for all the diversity and the representation in your books. The world feels pretty messy nowadays, but it’s always lovely to find spaces and pieces of media that feel as safe and cozy as your books do. Never expected to find a medical drama cozy tbh lol.

Thank you for your service, my liege 🫡 I hope you have a nice week

Thank youuuuu! I'm so glad you're enjoying Jules' shenanigans :D And you're so welcome. I'm very grateful that I get the opportunity to include such a variety of characters in my story. Honestly, I have to say that is one of my favorite aspects of the story - everybody can end up in an ER for all kinds of reasons, so there's lots of room for interesting cases and characters to pop up from every part of society, especially in a city like Seattle. It's kind of funny that you mention the immigrant rep because that wasn't something I consciously set out to do with this story but it ended up being a kind of central theme. When I started really thinking about people I interacted with in the city and medical professionals especially, it started to click just how many first or second generation immigrants I interacted with. And, uh... things might get a little less cozy for the season finale, I'm sorry 😭 Thank you for the kind wishes, I hope your week is off to a good start!

Georgia Diner in Elmhurst, Queens on Queens Blvd at 55th Avenue

Oh hello there! Is this thing on? *tap tap* 

Project Neon has been very quiet lately, here, have this lovely peach by way of an apology. It’s a peach of a peach, isn’t it? It’s a slightly animated sign (the purple circles switch from one side to the other) with an odd color combo — purple would not have been my first choice to go with a peach — but the details of the peach are lovely. The painted texture and pit, the slices, the concentric lines on the leaves. Just perfect! And the lettering is a little more formal and less modern than what I’d expect for a diner, but I love it, too. It all works.

This photo is from way back in 2012. I haven’t taken many photos, neon or otherwise, lately, and I haven’t been working on any projects much except the day job and Project Health. New diagnosis that I hope will help (POTS, for those keeping score), new specialists, new drugs, etc. have been taking most of my time and energy. I have a few days off from work, though, so I’ll try to get a couple of posts together to help point you in the direction of other good neon goings on and update the Project Neon website.

One thing I did want to let you all know about is that the Project Neon app is no longer available in the app store, because it was going to cost too much to keep updating it for each new operating system release from Apple. That was an expense I didn’t count on, and didn’t realize would be so relentless. So I’m looking into other ways to share a curated map of NYC neon signs. Google Maps are now much more sharable than they were when I started the project, so I may just go with that, but if you’d rather see a different kind of map let me know. A printed map is an option as well, though of course it wouldn’t be as updatable. Anyway, let me know below if you have any thoughts.

In the meantime, don’t forget the Project Neon Facebook page for quick links and updates, and keep following the glow!

All I can say about Cults and their track Go Outside is that it's one of the best pieces of advice I have ever received..... Such a smooth jam.

Neither of them have seen Serenity and they're all just talking about how wonderful Wash is and I'm just trying not to cry.
