Had a great time at the Punk Rock Flea Market this weekend!

Just two months until the weirdest book you'll ever read comes out... MY NAME ISN'T PAUL releases 11/18/25

Got to create this amazing illustration for author @tayloradamsbooks.bsky.social !

It's the most wonderful time of the year. 🎃

if you're interested in pop culture that actually pushes back against the erosion of freedoms, you'll get more of it from one issue of an SFF zine than you will in a year of every streaming service combined

I'll always write 400 pages instead of 200 when it's elaborate descriptions, flashbacks, character monologues, and body horror 🫡

Just had to pay 200 out of pocket for my C0vid booster and flu shot 😭😭😭

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

Update: Ended up getting my car towed to Seattle and riding along in the tow truck. I tried to sell my car to scrap yards in Portland, but bc I don't have the title on me (it's at home in Seattle), nobody would take it.

Update on my car situation: It's the transmission, it'll cost $10,000 to fix, and I'm still stuck in Portland.

Like, Seattle has its rough areas and moments, but it is nowhere NEAR as much of a shithole as the Portland/Vancouver area. I'm about to lose my mind.

Portland/Vancouver area is a fucking nightmare. I hate being stuck here. I've already had mfs try to jump me on the Blue Line.

Car broke down in Portland, had to get it towed to a repair shop, and it's looking like a transmission issue. I'm stuck in the Portland/Vancouver area until Monday, probably Tuesday

Look if yall want the illusion of giving up control this is a long solved problem, it's just gonna involve a lot more leather than you are used to

"True freedom comes when you give yourself over to the Magic 8Ball." Every one of these is more evidence that wayyyyy too many ppl want a God-mommy-wife to do it all for them AND never question them.

Slowly putting something together now because it’s come to me that using generative AI naively (especially as a tool) is directly harmful to Maslow’s self-actualization — I think that is a closely related point. Today’s AI is the opposite of self-actualization. It increases dependence, for profit.

My Subaru Outback just broke down when I arrived in Portland 😭😭😭 (sidenote: is Portland/Vancouver cursed?🧐)

The dark academia fetishisation of English public schools - especially boarding schools - has always creeped me out. There's something inherently horrific there: in the crumbling Gothic buildings, the hierarchies, the cloistering, the reverence for dead Old Boys/Girls... So, I wrote a story...

Poetic prose. Gripping stories of the dark and weird. Stunning cover art. This is M. Regan’s STORIES IN THE MINOR KEY. Available at www.SobeloBooks(dot)com and wherever you buy your books.

I may not have health insurance, but I just got paid to draw a rat smoking a cigarette 🎉🐀

Just hit 208 ratings on Goodreads for my upcoming cosmic horror novella, MY NAME ISN'T PAUL!🎉 Thank you all so much, and I can't wait to see the response when MNIP officially releases on November 18, 2025! #horrorbooks #upcomingbooks #horrorjunkie

Painted another bbygirl with too many teef!🦷 #illustration #horrorart #uncannyvalley #horror

We miss EPs and singles So, while we work on the novels we've got coming for you next year (... looking at you, @brennanlafaro.bsky.social & @drewhuff.bsky.social...) - we thought we'd send a few quick reads and extended plays your way The Bat Singles: Coming Soon (Album with us 2026)

I had an amazing time designing and illustrating this cover!

Writing my author's note for MY NAME ISN'T PAUL! (It's a metaphor for being neurodivergent!)

Authors should get a tattooed tear for every book they write.

Worked on this lil painting last night! 🦷🦷🦷

Excited to offer this!

Here's my monthly reminder that indie horror presses need you now more than ever, readers/bloggers/reviewers. Before you make that social graphic reccing all the same books that the big 5 are advertising, consider tossing in something from a small or self pub. Seriously. We need you! 📚💙

So excited to offer these!

This is the Way, yes 💖

So... Processing payments for guns is fine, but digital tits is a step too far? It's also funny because it seems LGBTQ+ content has been shadowbanned too. duckprintspress has 13 titles shadowbanned while most of these aren't even nsfw/adult-tagged. Yikes.

13 of our titles have been shadowbanned despite containing no nsfw content and not being tagged as such. They ARE tagged LGBT content. Don't pretend this is only about nsfw works. Why are you censoring queer works?

As a gamedev this is a dangerous sign of how facism is weazeling its way into everything in our lifes. Support Sex Workers AND Indies. Fuck puritanism.
