Around the orchard.

We’re going to an apple orchard today so expect at least one picture from that. Also, I brought disposable cameras for everyone to use. When we’re done, going to get them all developed at the same time to make a giant photo album. They’re a little expired so we’ll see how they turn out.

Watching Lilo & Stitch with a gaggle of kids.

Visiting family so of course I had to say hello to the gecko.

Only person in my row on this flight. Truly blessed.

I feel like there should be an unspoken rule where you don’t talk in the airport if it’s super early/late. There’s absolutely no need to be yappin’ so loud.

Sculptober Day 1 - Noble 👑 #sculptober

I bought more...

There's a SR novella, Abdication, I'm working on featuring Hargraves and of course the SR coffee table book, which is basically all of Hargraves' files and diaries in a visual narrative, spanning 150 years of events.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to any of these, but everyone else should absolutely go!

Today is not a good day. I’m tired and my head hurts and I’m ready to be home with my dog. Only positive is that I figured out what increments of time the buttons on the microwave align with.

I have to upload my ID if I want to view my messages on here now...

Great day hiking through the Hood Meadows ski bowl with @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

I think I worked myself too hard doing yard work and now I’m slowly sliding into the abyss.

I finally bought some storage boxes to put my chapbooks in.

Always open to trading for other weird or rare JVM books.

Nothing against him as an author, but I hate when a bookstores horror section is 95% Stephen King.

I call her Lightning cause she’s McQueen.

Finished Shriek: An Afterword & now starting Finch when I saw this on Reddit. Had to hunt it down on here to share as it was perfect timing.

So like… does anyone need an assistant or something? I’m really good at getting coffee orders correct and sending out emails.

Saved a lunar moth from the storm drain. That’s my good deed for the day.

Lost in the grocery store. Send help.

There’s so many Wawa’s opening near us and I’m very excited.

Are Toads from Mario unionized?

I wish I was one of those frogs that buries themselves in the mud when the rivers dry up while they wait for the rain to come.

I need a new job in a new industry, but that means starting over from the bottom.

Today I learned about a contest that Genius (yes, the music lyric site) did for annotating an excerpt from Acceptance by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social and the winner got an Area X SR Trilogy chapbook. Very cool!

Absolution, @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social's surprise fourth entry in his Southern Reach series continues to progress at the printer. If you’d like your copy to be sent out in the initial shipping wave, please get your order in. subterraneanpress.com/newsabsoluti...

Yesterday’s trip to the park where we accidentally joined a 5K.

Another set of beautiful covers. (Please don’t judge, but I just realized today that the mushrooms count 1-2-3 for each number in the trilogy)

New plush alert from @bimstown.bsky.social

I need to stop buying books. I have no more room.

Do the copyright, acknowledgments, meet the author, etc. pages count towards the over page count in a book?

Man, I Love Frogs.

your moment of calm

In honor of @scalzi.com's visit to our warehouse today, our fabulous production editor did a little photo shoot with two of her pet mice, Ivy and Nettle. We feel it's only right to give away a signed copy of WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE. Follow and reshares to enter! Int'l, ends 9-14 at noon ET!

Book labeled as “very good condition” showed up looking like it was dragged across the warehouse floor with an inspection slip inside. The person who inspected it, I think we have might have different definitions of “very good”.
