Well, that's not ominous or anything.

If my brain could stop coming up with new ideas until I get this revision done, that would be great. #WriteSky

The RFK Jr./Kid Rock health video is so weird. As much as I find the idea of drinking milk in a whirlpool bizarre and oddly digusting, my biggest question is the jeans. Why does RFK Jr. swim in jeans? Does he also shower in them? Are they always present, even under his suit pants?

If you need a hump day pick me up, the new Coke flavor, Cherry Float, is delightful.

Well, this takes me back...

Two black cats + a penchant for walking around in the dark at night = endless jump scares for a very near-sighted person like myself. ....still not gonna turn on a light or put my glasses on for bathroom and water trips, though.

This is what happens if I don't pet him often enough while I'm working. He also slowly pushes the keyboard off the desk. He's such a brat and I love him. #CatSky #WriteSky

Transgender people make up an estimated 1% of the US population. Since 2014, there have been 5,644 mass shootings. 6 had shooters who were identified as transgender. That's approx. 0.001% of mass shootings. 99.999% were cisgender.

Jesse Jackson taught us the values of perseverance, standing up for those who can not stand up for themselves, and to never give up hope no matter how dire the odds. If you ask me, that's what an American hero embodies. Rest In Power, Reverend.

Sleepy boy on a cloudy day. #CatSky

As a survivor myself, I cannot truly put into words how livid I am that Pan Bondi said today they are done releasing the Epstein files. This is why victims don't come out. In the end, especially if the abuser is a rich white man, it often gets ignored or glossed over. Speak out. Please.

Good News: New meds are already making me feel much better mentally, and I can feel my creativity coming back. Bad News: The revision I was working on is still waiting, lurking on my hard drive, yearning to be finished. #WriteSky #AWritersLife

I'd also like to wish a Happy Valentine's #caturday to Scully, Bastet, and Loki. Home is where the cats are!

Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful wife, @felineforger.bsky.social! The best part of every day is you.

Just once, I would like a medication to not screw up my sleep schedule as a side effect. And by 'sleep schedule' I mean my ability to fall asleep at a reasonable hour and stay asleep all night at least three nights a week. But hey, that's one way to knock out the daily word count before sunrise.

This gave me goosebumps. It was true then, and it's true now. Truth is funny like that; timeless, unyielding, and steadfast despite the opinions of the day. #Resist youtube.com/shorts/O7fAx...

Take a deep breath Sit a moment with yourself There's a little flame Flickering inside you Can you feel it? Believe in it Now set it free The magic begins here Inside of you Inside of me #poetry

Today's mood.

Listening to the Bondi hearings. If we cannot stand up, regardless of political party, and demand justice when there is credible evidence that hundreds of children have been raped, then this country has lost its soul.

I tried a deep fried PB&J. Hands down the best 'this shouldn't be deep fried but we deep fried it anyway' I've tried so far!

Last night's Superbowl Halftime show was such a heartfelt message of love and unity. It boggles my mind that people could find it offensive. But these are the same people who don't think Bad Bunny is every bit as American as they are. The only thing stronger than hate is love. Thank you, Benito.

I woke up this morning to one of my wife's hair ties placed lovingly beside me. Either one of the kitties was trying to be sweet and give me a present or they were trying to give an offering to the eldritch horror that is my snoring in hopes it would stop. #CatSky

Why should we move on from the Epstein files? The victims don't get to move on. Nothing can erase their scars. So the least we can do is make sure the perpetrators are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

If you're looking for a little sugary pick me up, these were amazing!

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! I'm Mica, and I write paranormal, creature feature, and human-driven horror. My favorite horror movie set inside a home is 'Poltergeist.'

If loving Mexican pastries is wrong, I don't want to be right. These beauties are courtesy of the grocery and deli about two blocks from our apartment. The tacos were amazing as well!

I've never shot a firearm. I still know you keep your finger off the trigger, the barrell pointed downwards, and never point the gun point at something you don't want to shoot (and kill.) Why do so many ICE agents clearly lack this knowledge?

It's very telling, I think, that my wife leaves for a three day business trip and I feel no need to go into "bachelor mode." I might go out to eat a bit more, but that's mostly because I prefer cooking for two. I'm a really lucky guy; I married my best friend and everything is better with her. :)

My brain did not need another WIP, but walking to the store and thinking about Groundhog Day brought a new idea. Well, I wanted to write more short stories. I guess the Muses were listening! #WriteSky

Confession: I only check to see if the groundhog saw his shadow to see if this will finally be the year that Phil has had enough. I think he'd be well within his rights. Pull me out of my nice, warm bed into the cold and I'd bite a few fingers off too. #GroundhogsDay

Even in chaos, there are moments and places of beauty and power.

This never fails to make me paranoid. Look, I love spiders, but I don't like surprise spiders. Or anything, really, that randomly drops on my head or in front of my face. No, I never found out what it was. Perhaps he'd just been in the nip. #Caturday #CatSky

Gotta love hearing some assholes drag racing at 3:30am on a residential street. In a city with exciting things to do around the clock, you chose the option that is both dangerous and excessively loud. Bravo.

Bastet knows she's the cutest thing in this picture.

If you walk into a writer's house and it's spotless, ask what cleaning service they use. If they tell you they do it themselves, back slowly out thee door, preferably after leaving offerings of caffeine, sugar, and alcohol. Their writing is not going well. #WriteSky

A little perspective when so much is happening and we know the waters are being muddied. youtu.be/o4I_hOz_MLw?...

Remembering the amazing Weird Al concert at The Veneition last June on this #TBT. If you get a chance to see him live, absolutely do it! He's an amazing showman. (Puddles Pity Party was also delightful, and considering how I feel about clowns, that says A LOT!)

Today's vibe, brought to you by Scully.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Brain Fog is like 'Yellow Ledbetter' by Pearl Jam. You can hear the words, but they're slow, muddled, and sound like Welsh. ADHD Brain is like 'The End of the World As We Know It' by REM. You can understand the words, but each thought is so rapid fire it slips through your fingers.

I would rather watch Yoko Ono's 'Self Portrait' on repeat until it was matched the length of the extended cuts of the entire 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy with my eyes held open like Alex DeLarge in 'A Clockwork Orange' than sit through a single sitting of 'Melania.'

Eight fucking years of "Obama's going to take your guns, Obama's going to take your guns," and when Trump makes an anti-2nd Amendment comment, it's crickets. Expected but still enraging.

Bad News: Revising this manuscript while titrating off antidepressants feels like the mental version of Sisyphus rolling that boulder up the hill. Good News: I've been creating new and exciting forms of profanity. #WriteSky

It's really bizarre to me how many people are obsessed with immigration, not just illegal immigration but also lawful immigration too. If you are not 100% Native American, your ancestors put their asses on a boat or crossed a border at some point. Examine why it really matters to you.

If you love unconventional storytelling, like I do, 'Daisy Jones & The Six' ny Taylor Jenkins Reid is a must-read. Its greatest strength is the purity of the character voices. Without that, the concept would've failed no matter how interesting the storyline. #BookSky

While the intense feelings of dread, anxiety, brain fog, and occasional heart palpitations and lightheadeness royally suck, at least it's kind of on a schedule now? "Oh look, it's almost 2pm. Time for my body to revolt until the next dose is taken and kicks in." Cannot wait to switch meds.

When I make a mistake, I take time to dig in and learn from it so I don't make the same mistake again. I prefer to make new, exciting mistakes.
