Day 2 of #ECCC2026 and its more @seananmcguire.bsky.social with the Luidaeg in her Kelp gown from SLEEP NO MORE ch.23.

Fun bringing Antimony Price from @seananmcguire.bsky.social 's #Incryptid novels to life at #ECCC2026 today!

What's Your Cosplay Style, Bec? Character the author will recognize and maybe a few fans², unhinged fandom crossover, and horror anthology podcast witch....

Pineapple Rum Dump Cake (with scratch cake mix), Luxardo Maraschino Cherries and syrup and Whipped Cream. I can't explain how good this is.

The artist formerly known as HRH Prince Andrew getting arrested on his own birthday is just chef's kiss. Now, can someone in America please make consequences happen for people in the files?

Bummed not to see @seananmcguire.bsky.social on the ECCC lineup. I always enjoy your panels.

A store specializing in heirloom varietals and hard to find antique strains call Maslow's Hierarcy of Seeds.

If you're a nail polish person, the MN-based small polish maker Atomic Polish is selling Ice Out, and 100% of the proceeds of it are going to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

I'm just a girl, spending time and money, to make a cosplay of a book character I am 90% sure only the author will recognize. And I don't give a fuck. Because this thing is going to slap. #CountDownToECCC #SmallJoys #BookNerd #Cosplay #ECCC2026

Probably an evergreen thought these days, but a very hearty Fuck You to ANYONE who said people were over reacting in 2016. Anyways, Alexa, play "Eve of Destruction".

Hilary is good people and makes beautiful jewelry. Help her and her very good doggone out if you can.

A+ Caregiving, holiday addition. My partner, who I jokingly call Murderbot, got me this handy little light as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. 1/

Final Takeaway from 2025: Meatsuit gonna meatsuit. #DeepThoughts #HappyNewYear #OrWhatever

Me, half awake this morning: Man, I am exhausted. Can we contact the hosts of today's holiday party and cancel? My Spouse: Babe, YOU are the host. Me: Right. Fuck. Anyways, Bright Solstice and Happy Holidays, y'all...

My brother is Cripes, we are in a crowded airport waiting area. USE YOUR GODSDAMNED HEADPHONES!!!! #RageFromTheTravelSide

ChatGPT told one of my student (I do HIED academic advising) that Subsidized loans are the ones you don't have to pay back. That isn't remotely true. Please don't used ChatGPT for your financial aid advice.

Man, I am two for two this week on authors dropping either a throw away line or something non- central to the plot that either is factually incorrect or is so incredibly historically implausible that it might as well be factually incorrect and has yanked me right out of the the narrative. 1/

Man, the boys aren't making this a feckin nail-biter or anything. #Mariners #MightAsWell

Dear @seananmcguire.bsky.social- I adore you. I also misread merlin as marlin every single time and have this experience...

We're past "Keep Calm and Carry On", folks.

What do you mean the 15th Wedding Anniversary isn't the Tattoo Anniversary? My partner and I drove 1500 miles round trip for these? (Because we are history nerds, and getting tattooed by the Razzouks, who have been doing it for 28 generations? Epic!)

Remember when a bunch of folks talked about how DOGE was gutting the NOAA/NWS and it was gonna get people killed? WELL, HERE WE ARE...

I am choosing 8. Because it is absolutely frivolous as a super power, but Hella cool linguistically. Alternatively, if you get a whole bunch of people to do it, you could have a Code Talkers situation. So, maybe not frivolous.

No one:.... My knee: You move me? You shift me one micrometer to the left? Pain! Pain for you for ever and ever! Anyways, being in your 40s is hilarious.

I have never understood the role of Cassandra from Greek mythology more than I have based on daily conversations with people over the last 36 months.

If anyone is looking for a name for their country punk band, may I offer up Dimebag of Coleslaw? #BandNames #IAmNotMusical #ButWishIWas

I had Noro less then 2.5 weeks after having my appendix out. I still don't know how I didn't end up hospitalized again. Wash your hands. Wear a mask.

Congratulations, #YaleLawSchool. You must be so proud to have produced this! (/sarcasm)

Friends, find a self care thing- a short yoga routine, doing a coloring page, screaming into a pillow, guided meditation. Whatever works. One thing. Then block some time in your day for it. Every single day for the foreseeable. This is an ultra marathon, not a sprint. Take care of yourselves.

We don't out people. Not for being trans. Not for being queer. Not for their immigration status. Not for their pregnancy status. Not to cops. Not to anyone. You do not know who might be a collaborator, even unintentionally. WE KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT AND WE MIND OUT OWN BUSINESS.

6 for breakfast, 3 for lunch with grilled cheese, 5 for dinner.

Well, fellow 90s kids, here's another artist to strip from our Playlist and ban our music systems from playing. #NoQuarterForCollaborators ew.com/jewel-perfor...

An outgoing President should not have to preemptively pardon people for doing their jobs to protect them from malicious persecution by the incoming administration. This isn't Normal. www.npr.org/2025/01/20/n...

Wishing the incoming elected head of state a very William Henry Harrison inauguration. #HistoryNerdPleasant

#LongCovidLife It's roughly 1AM PST. Here's what's keeping me up tonight: - Neuropathy/Pins and Needles presenting in my lips and across my mid-back -GI Track keeps threatening to fire all cannons like its the 1812 Overture of 💩 -Brain is all "Put your left foot in, hand jive, hey Macarena!"

Oh, good, my safe intervention med for migraine is now doing the same tight chest "is this a panic attack ot a heart attack or" feeling the last one did after a while. Time to book a new appointment with my neuro...

I am calling this art installation "For My Sins, or When Will I Learn To Wind The Nice Embroidery Floss When I Open The Skein?"

#BlackWomen who have gone through menopause/hysterectomy and wear sleep bonnets, I have a question. A friend recommended I try them, and I find my hair is benefiting. As someone who is both hysterectomy menopausa land has body temp issues from Long COVID, some nights they're too hot. Any Tips?

When you try using store-bought sugar cookie dough to make thumbprint cookies... And accidentally make ominous blood pool cookies instead. Oh well, Happy Ominous Holidays, everyone! And a Criminally Good New Year! #Opps #WhenYouTryToSaveSpoons

I am down to drinking plain water at the moment due to my recent #LuxuryBones tune up, and I swear, I am going to do a Parody photo shoot of this what the caption MOST HYDRATED WOMAN IN THE WORLD.

Nothing says fun quite like $800 dollars (after insurance) worth of dental work right before the holidays. #LuxuryBones #Owwwww

Reminder in this slow apocalyptic hell scape: keep doing the maintenance care of yourself you can. Get eye exams. Get your teeth cleaned. Get a mammogram. Have a colonoscopy. Get your annual checkup. Any preventative health care you can, while you can.

Hey friends! Have you taken a look at your fitness routine lately? Is it getting a little stale? Have you considered a martial arts class? Maybe Muy Thai? Jujitsu? Krav Maga? 1/

I just yelled, "Are you licking your non-existent balls, my good bitch?! Get back here!" And now I am concerned my new neighbors probably think I am the world's weirdest Dominatrix. #HelloIJustNeuteredMyCat

Hey friends! Thinking about camping in the next year! It's a great time to put camping supplies on your holiday lists. Some good examples includes, but is not limited to: 1) Water filtration systems (a friend recommends Sawyer Products). 2) An extensive back country first aid kit (use that FSA) 1/

A few reminders: -Public Social Media is Public. You are leaving a digital record for the days to come. -Proton Mail is a great encrypted email service. -Signal, while not perfect, is an E2EE messenger service. Stay safe out there, friends.

Well, the fire nation is attacking here in the PNW, so I will now be slowly roasting in my closed up apartment while I take hits off my inhaler. #SmokeSeason #ClimateChange #WorseEveryYear

I think my biggest frustration with the Neil Gaiman situation is not so much that I had him on a pedestal per se, as he was actively in the writing community, answering fans and new writers questions. Seeing established authors do that means something. And now I wonder how much was just grooming.

When "Read the genre you are writing in" leads to such exclamations as, "Shit, I had no idea you could kill someone that way?!" and "That is an excessive amount of arsenic to kill one human." #AmWriting #AmResearching #AmReading #TrueCrime
