Ah, that explains some things

A gritty reboot of the 1987 hit movie “Mannequin”

This is goddamn genius

There’s no rule that says a Golden Retriever can’t play basketball…but what if there was? Thus begins the opening lines for my screenplay “Air Bud: Class Action Attorney” and yes the dog does drink himself to death. It’s not a happy story it’s the story about how these systems crush us.

Learned how to mute words Muted "trump" Well this should be the ignorance that promises bliss. Will report back

Where was the rapture when I was waiting on Emperor of Gladness? (Though now I'm pleased it waited til I finished, not that I had to worry)

I'm incredibly excited to say that my debut novel, and the first in the Elderwick Mysteries series, is in the finals of the Book Bloggers Novel of the Year Award 2025! 🎉😀 #cozymysteryseries #cosymysteries #autumnvibes 💙📚⚡ @bbnya.bsky.social

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

*steps on scale* I wonder if I'm too fat for the rapture

Always fun to come back to the feed after a couple hours and see if I can figure out what new completely fucked thing has just happened

There's a whole generation of people who won't know why so many businesses are named A-American or AAA-1

Seeing this again after 30-ish years: it's quite good, if not my favorite cup of tea. But I cannot BELIEVE I saw it first in HS Economics. Aside from the fact that it's about GRIFTERS, it's sexually inappropriate w/one of the most mindfuck endings I've ever seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-w7...

Hell yes. Don't do the skeleton the way they did the car spire in North Riverside. savethe.westtownskeleton.org

There's a gay couple across the street walking an entire herd of small dogs, some of them puppies. They're tumbling over each other and one of the fellas called their names to get them to behave. Pretty sure one's name is "Meigs" LOL

My bio lists a suspense novel titled Edge of Sundown. Folks have called it "noir"! "Thoughtful"! A "beautifully written slow burn" with "vivid prose"! However, in traffic today I learned it was written by a "honky jagoff". Own it now for only $9.99. Support your local jags tinyurl.com/4fe3rx59

Dear Microsoft Teams, You do not need my location when I am using my camera. These things aren’t related *at all*. Fuck off.

Didn't even have my coffee yet and nearly wrote "entitty" in an email to my boss, so happy Wednesday all

It's been awhile since I shared breathtaking quotes from books. So here we go: "It was lighting-up time, and through the curtained windows he had glimpses of families gathered round their lamps;

oh hi, we're opening for submissions tomorrow, Friday 9/5! 200 cap & we'll stay open until filled. mark ur calendars 👇

Here's an owlet showing off his flexibility last week.🪶

Every year I look forward to this series and Friday is IT, people.

Sure do miss having Word ask where I left off. I can't remember my name, how would I remember what scene was last?

Well I have a title for the novel now, after 5+ years. Didn't really start writing it until 2022 though, so it should be done around 2029.

When did they stop making believable commercials?

Travel plans sorted

I discovered that I have very few books that will fit in my purse. The conundrums stalk me at every turn

There's an awfully short list of fugitive movies out there. Any recommendations? Besides the obvious. I use the term "fugitive" loosely, too. The law doesn't have to be involved. Movies in which the hero is hunted by another person/people. (No fantasy/sci-fi creatures/monsters.)

The paperback version of Out of the Drowning Deep is officially out today! Terrible angels, an obsolete automaton, a dead pope. What more could you want? www.barnesandnoble.com/w/out-of-the...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Recently discovered Lit Mag News and had to give a shoutout to founder @beckyltuch.bsky.social for doing the needed work of calling out the scammy underbelly of the lit mag world. 👏 It's hard enough being a writer without the writing world itself coming for you, too. #writingcommunity #writersky

Submission fees are getting OUT OF CONTROL. If a journal charges over $5, I will no longer interview the editors at Lit Mag News.

Ominous chalk near work

Mom returned a little box with two of my baby teeth inside. Which means she either lied about the existence of a tooth fairy or, more likely, she slew the fairy and held on to my bones for safekeeping. So: do I put them under my pillow again to reap a 2nd round of rewards? Thoughtful answers only

I used to post more short stories I thought were badass. I need to do that more often. Enjoy "Swerve" by Brenda Miller. brevitymag.com/nonfiction/s...
