I don't always get UK slang, but when I see posts like this I know exactly what my Brit friends mean when they call someone a twat.

Spent an afternoon at a lake in Eastern Kansas with a few friends. Her aunt’s lake house seating vignettes were enchanting. This one captured my imagination.

Much appreciation to the people that have been subscribing and helping us spread the word. Improving staff pay isn't something that's typically a big motivator, so it means a lot to see so many people getting behind the goal.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

@itgodp.bsky.social had a busy weekend at #StokerCon

Surprised my kids with made from scratch cosmic brownies.

The hole in the shell is from a carnivorous snail that has a special tongue called a radula. The radula is covered in tiny teeth and it drills through the shell to get its meal. It’s probably more like teeth of a saw blade but I picture it differently.

I have decided I am no longer a “bowl on the floor” kind of cat.

New! @itgodp.bsky.social In this episode, Alan and Cat @catrambo.bsky.social talk to @beatriceiker.bsky.social Beatrice Winifred Iker: Religion, horror, queerness, writing neurodiverse characters, organizing complicated plots, Mothman, perfume recommendations... itgodp.libsyn.com/ill-make-a-s...

Tomorrow @itgodp.bsky.social, we welcome Beatrice Winifred Iker to the podcast. Their debut novel explores a chilling question: What happens when a graduate student's research of a local legendary beast leads to the slipping grasp of reality.🎧Set your reminders. This one will linger.

Kicking off the weekend with everyday magic from the Farmer’s Market. Homegrown asparagus and local honey, yes please.

The next event you'll find me at is @tricon-hfx.bsky.social! Can't wait to attend this inaugural event and a brand new Canadian spec fic con. (We need more of these.) Stay tuned for my panel schedule, and in the meantime, give me a shout if you'll be there!

Independent Bookstore Day! We've all stumbled into a neighborhood gem where there is a bookseller that won't stop until your book is secured. The bookseller's face when you ask for a book they love. Book recs they can't help but share. Booksellers care deeply so GO BUY A BOOK AT YOUR LOCALl! #SFF
