Heated pool.

I also have this problem. Hair. So difficult.

New Years resolution: call AI slop even more often.

One of my first jobs (at the age of 15) was doing mass production art for a group that sold to places like hotels and hospitals, etc. Feeling a little professional insult from this one.

Klingon symbol or no, we all know that any red Star Trek coffin is the first one to get buried

This is not hard to imagine. Alt text for embedded pic below is red and black coffin with Klingon symbol, and gold and black coffin with Stafleet symbol.

Things I think about when I can't sleep: If the Greek Gods were Muppets who would they be? - Aphrodite: Miss Piggy - Dionysus: Animal I had a third but I forgot. What are y our thoughts?

I have over 4k followers on Amazon? When did that happen?

I'm still mopping up the last of my 2025 reads. This swoonworthy romance was one of my favorites of the year! #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Quick, I need $500,000 so I can buy a semi-local drive-in theater and keep the dream alive.

If any incoming mayor tried to ban bodega cats across the 5 boroughs New York would burn to the ground á la 1871 Chicago

Anyone else remember when the job listing for Google Doodle Artist sounded like a dream job? I almost applied just because it sounded so cool. Now they've replaced one of the most awesome art jobs with AI and it turned out as crappy as that sounds like it would.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you. Hi, I'm pulmonary embolisms.

Today is Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991). Think it says something about the series that they can put out six movies and I'm all, "Man! They didn't put out very many movies!"

We had a LotR marathon today while taking down the tree and laughed our butts off at the memory of child #1 trying to decline an invitation to be the ring bearer in a wedding because he thought he was being asked to be a ring bear.

2025 keeps reaching out with tragedy. Just learned that a friend's 25 year old son died in a freak accident back in September. She and her daughter were, unsurprisingly, not celebrating Christmas.

Well, now I've reached the age where technology is getting harder and I'm easily frustrated by it.

George Takei is in the Rose Parade on the 60th Anniversary float for Star Trek and now I'm crying.

Am I watching the Rose Parade? Heck yeah, I am.

Since Excellence is my word of the year, I would like to come up with some sheroes (and heroes) to keep as icons in front of me for inspiration. Obvs Dolly goes up immediately. Who else? They can be real or fictional. Should Elle Woods be up there?

I've decided my word for 2026 is Excellence.

New year, new me!

This article is horrifying.

I'm going to be my best self.

Couldn't find a NYE countdown we wanted to watch, so instead watching a fave WDW streamer livestream of the festivities at EPCOT. Think the DJ there started drinking a bit early, it's the only way I can explain a hip-hop Friends theme blending into a country version of Take Me Home, Country Roads.

This is the problem exactly.

Apparently the new Andor Season 2 issue of Journey Planet just dropped, for which I did the cover art. I painted this before seeing the second season. Still can't resist those John Berkey vibes. www.journeyplanet.org/journey-plan... #StarWars #Andor

Just saw a reel that said "I'd rather be cringe to a stranger than a stranger to myself," and that's the energy I'm taking into 2026. Yeah, I can be "cringe" to some people with all my enthusiasm for my interests and passions. But who gives a damn? That's their problem, not mine.

If we lived in a just media landscape, this would now be a trilogy.

INK AND ICE is an M/M romance between an elite figure skater and a former war reporter who plays hockey to deal w his PTSD. It was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award and is also about one of my favorite weird things - the isolated islands in Lake Erie www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B085...

I am going to be consuming epic levels of caffeine today because I fully intend to stay up until midnight so I can make absolutely sure that 2025 leaves & doesn't even attempt to sneak back in the door. It needs to bleed out in the gutter, alone & unloved.

All righty -- this year's writerly resolution is live, should you care to read it. The tl;dr is it's actually quite an optimistic read, so hopefully it'll give you some juice to kick open the new year and put words to stories that need to be told.

As a self-pubbing author and small business owner, I thought long & hard about how to release my new book wo supporting Amazon in its initial launch. #Romancelandia #SmallBusinessSaturday

It's time for 2025 to get in the trash. Woke up this morning to the sound of the dog puking, of course...

That was fun

We ship exclusively with the USPS unless we absolutely CANNOT because the postal service is a public service not a goddamned way for some rich white asshole to get richer.

Now (re)watching 48 Hours (1982) because I'm on a low key Eddie Murphy kick.

IMO, getting rid of plastic and nonstick crap in your kitchen is just as good a resolution as “eating better” or “working out more” b/c it’s achievable and the benefits are immediate.

True fact that sounds like something I made up: Eddie Murphy (a big fan of Star Trek) was supposed to be the crew’s main contact in the 20th century, an astrophysicist. When he decided to do The Golden Child instead, they converted his role to the marine biologist/Kirk’s love interest.

Tonight watching Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Dressed up for the premier back in '96 because after reading the plot summary I assumed it would be the last voyage of my beloved crew. Turned out to be delightful and funny as hell.
