Look at her enjoying Halloween decor, she's truly a member of the family! #cornsnake #snake

First thing I saw when i opened this app today was AI "art" and it had hundreds of likes... Even IG has the decency to make people pay to put their AI slop in front of my eyeballs!

Read for a while if you can. Watch something. Eat tacos. Turn that music up. Text a friend. Check in with your forever demons. Drink from the skull of your enemies. Take care of yourself. Can’t fight the good fight if you burn out.

Today for Latine Heritage Month, the little book that could! Launched barrio noir (¿Y ahora, cabrones?) and my career (and years later again in France). My first translation, first film option, etc. I’m STOKED it’s back in print! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316... bookshop.org/p/books/zero...

3/3 Made the trinkets one for a tag yourself post on my IG and the other one is a personal project (geese unrelated to the reference and I'm curious if anyone gets the reference or if it's too niche?) let me know if there's interest for the patterns!

2/3 Made these cross stitch mock ups for a tag yourself post on my IG but I also have the PDF patterns, let me know if there's interest!

It’s #FridayReads time AND Latine Heritage Month! Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Here are horror and noir mixed with Spanglish, history, anti-colonialism, magic, friendship, revenge, and monsters from the deep. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316... bookshop.org/p/books/hous...

Thanks, Gabino! My next title, MONOCHROMICON: THE COMPLETELY MONOCHROME TRILOGY, releases next Tuesday, 9/23, in all the usual places. It's a supernatural thriller, a neo-noir mystery, and cosmic horror rolled into one. Check it out: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH8XTGT9 bookshop.org/p/books/mono...

Last Saturday, a story from this collection WRECKED me and I still haven't recovered from it!

A line from Mad Days by @elfordalley.bsky.social 😂

Campus Reform tried to get me fired from being a *postdoc in physics* in 2015 because I said Thomas Jefferson was a rapist

Finished Find Us (loved it), onto the next. @elfordalley.bsky.social September is going swimmingly (you shouldn't have suggested it if you didn't want to hear about it 😂😂) 🩸📚

It's the little things that make me fall in love with a book 🩸📚

Well my friends, the time has come, send me your horrors (I have been an eldritch horror for a long time I cannot become what I already am!)

Ok for some reason that emphasis came across as very girlypop coded (especially with the luminous eyes mentioned earlier), pop off queen and *looks at notes* slay the whole town! #justgirlthings 🩸📚

3 stories in and loving this one 🩸📚

Starting September at 17.5% completion on the sampler. How's everyone cross stitching going?

16.56% done and time to move the hoop but I think I might call it a night and curl up with a book. How's everyone stitching going this weekend?

New bookmark just dropped 😅

I low-key enjoy getting used books that have been highlighted so I can sit there and wonder why they thought that part was particularly important

Seen earlier today, I hope the graffiti artist who did that has an excellent Friday 💜

Another hoop moving time! It's not in the picture but I made it to 15% completion with less than an hour to the new month which probably felt like more of an achievement than it really was.

Muffin-Moon is such an apex predator even ghosts are afraid of him.

It's, at long last, time to move the hoop! The cats are impressed by all the cross stitch action!

Sometimes the book matches the reading buddy

It’s been two years since the storm forever changed the world, but the sickness was only the beginning. . #readindie #buyindie #reviewindie #loveindie #indiehorror #supportindieauthors

New *free* cross stitch pattern available on my ko-fi for those days where you need a reminder that while cybertrucks can ruin your day at least mother nature is trying to save us from having to look at them!

It is done! Pattern is from The Witchy Stitcher's upcoming book. I did not follow the pattern exactly I changed some colors and didn't give the characters their hat because I liked them better without, in the pattern the little bat guy has some detailing and orange eyes and mouth, wasn't my vibe.

When I wrote Undead Folk, it was to highlight the flaws of the American healthcare system & to shine a light on queer families. The whole series is a tribute to those that would suffer or be left behind by the corrupt rich. If you read my book & support what just happened, kindly F off into the sun.

Halloween is a people, not a holiday and it's Halloween every day here! (Pattern is from the Witchy Stitcher's book which drops in August)

The committee for carrots enjoyment (the isopods) were looking particularly cute this morning, but the oddly white one was particularly chill

And remember kids, it does mean ALL

Another world is possible if we fight for it.

@stevewestenra.bsky.social I felt this paragraph in my bones. Was it intentionally written to be read to the tune of a Ghost Town (or any other electro-core band really) song?

Just remember: we are all seeds.

Do you want to read Never Leaving but don't want to support Amazon? Good news! You can order ebooks directly from @infestedpublishing.bsky.social and grab paperbacks from Ingram: shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...

I'm still sick to the point where I feel faint from doing the dishes for 5 minutes but Pretty Boi the betta is being a good dad and the pods are isopoding quite beautifully so it's not all bad.

If you like splatter but want something that's not goofy just unflinchingly brutal, do yourself a favor and read Mass Hysteria 🤌

Today we learn why we don't take pictures of bettas from the top. 😂 I love this goofy fish so much

This book broke me. Wow.

Another month, another delivery from @haymarketbooks.org to make sure my purse can always double as a self-defense tool 😅

Also currently reading and enjoying this one. I don't normally vibe with creepy kids stories but this one's working for me. 🩸📚

Sitting down to cross stitch for the first time this month 😅

Just a little Noodz for your Friday morning.

Don’t let this slip. A Conservative government will destroy 🇨🇦 as we know it— or maybe even 🇨🇦 as a whole. You cannot vote a fascist in then hope to respond post facto. Just look at Trump, destroying the world economy and U.S. “democracy” mere months. Vote whoever can deny the Cons a seat.

If you've been considering getting this book, now's a good time and you will not regret it!

It finally happened, a book from the piles had to be relocated (sacrificed) to the dusty shelf to maintain the structural integrity of the the piles. We are gathered here today to thank it for volunteering (I've already read it and won't be rereading soon)

Today my calories obsessed coworker is upset that the fatter coworker burned more calories than her. Everything I've ever heard about her calories has been against my will. They're counting their calories for going up a single flight of stairs, this shit is sad.
