The Pens won their season opener and looked actually competent while doing it. Oh no. Is this that "Hope" thing I've been told about? Anyway, here's a throwback to my Twitter days when I posted gifs after each @pittsburghpenguins.bsky.social win.

Last season I needed "Anne Shirley" because my brain needed to escape to a simpler, kinder world. This season, I very much need "May I ask for One Final Thing?" because my soul needs to watch this woman beat the shit out of rich assholes and oligarchs for no better reason than "She wanna."

New Post! In which I review the many anime my spouse I watch during the summer season. www.infinitesquirrels.com/2025/10/05/s...

This made me incredibly happy because this song blows doors off everything and everyone singing along fucking ruled.

Those who don't learn from history...

There are more new authors than ever before! Can't wait to share the full list with you in just a week. #cozyfantasy

Please PLEASE if you love a book, leave a review or just a nice star rating. If you hated a book, pass gently on by and resist the urge to crush the poor bloody soul who poured their best, their hopes, their dreams and themselves into it for months, if not years . Thank you. #bookreviews #books

Okay, last post for the evening. I went wide about a month ago and sales haven't exactly been what I would call... uh, brisk. In my brief time as a self-published writer, my worst month was 3 pages read for a whopping .02¢ from KDP. That's looking good right about now.

New Post! In which I talk frankly (and probably overshare) about my bad headspace, how it's been impacting my writing, and what I'm gonna do about it. www.infinitesquirrels.com/2025/10/01/w... #Writersky #booksky #indieauthor #mentalhealth

If you see this, QRP a gif of your first ever anime. My best friend brought over a tape of stuff he recorded from the '94 Sci-fi Channel's animation festival. It was "Dominion: Tank Police." Been an Otaku ever since.

A solo diceless, GMless RPG is just writing a novel.

LATE. STAGE. CAPITALISM. It's in the game!

It's World Bollywood Day! I'm far from an expert on the medium, but I've seen like a dozen films and liked most of them. But this one was, by far, my fave. Even bought the soundtrack. youtu.be/X-DDknSzELI?...

A.I. replaces B.S. Gotta love it.

Share your fave B&W movie.

An interesting podcast ep about the invasion of AI into lofi beats music. (I'm gearing up for something here, this will be semi-relevant) 🧵

Is there a gender neutral term for parent, similar to "mom" or "dad"?

Hooray, I'm visible for part of today, in a pattern that is not *all* of the time but frankly, is no one's business AND does not invalidate my visibility when it is there (grey-ace bis are still bi, and ace. I enjoy blocking phobes 🩷💜💙 🖤🩶🤍💜)

Happy Bisexuality Visibility Day.

Okay... So, there's usually between 8-15 people at my bus stop every morning. Today. Just me. Uh... Thanks, rapture?

After watching this week's Last Week Tonight, all I want is a black shirt with rainbow text that has just four words on it: "Fuck you, make me."

We need like a "Reverse Rapture", not where supposedly righteous people ascend to heaven, but where shitty ones just get sucked into the ground and go away forever. Like those cartoons where a baffled farmer watches a wily gopher steal all his crops from below. Like that.

I will always be my spouse's biggest fan & cheerleader, but this book goes beyond that for me. This is a beautiful story that deserves to be read about beautiful characters (in all their beautiful flawedness) whose stories deserve to be told. This is an experience worth experiencing. #booksky

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves. Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

Today marks the 19-year anniversary of my and @feelingsandmagic.bsky.social 's first "date", an informal invitation for coffee in which I drank no coffee, but rather Italian flavor water and where I learned our city has a ninja academy (on Talk Like A Pirate Day, no less.) It's been a great ride.

Here's the thing with fascists. They prefer to rule through fear. To make their "enemies" too scared to oppose them. They weild their power like a blunt weapon designed to inflict pain. 1/?

Bruh

Post a female character you love. My first Trek crush as an adolescent. Should've realized then I had a "type" and by that I mean, "Hates both fascists and bullshit."

Happy Bisexual Awareness Week! I've been out in the open for 6 years now, but I feel it's still important to reiterate and make myself visible to others as what I am, and to let anyone else in my community know that I'm here and I got your back in these incredibly shitty times.

Momo/Okurun & Marin/Gojo are the best couples in anime right now because all four Characters are unapologetic dorks.

Good morning. Here are a ton of songs about coffee. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJn...

The answer's obviously "Horses Kissing."

I'm about halfway through this book, and it's delightful - and this trivia thread is similarly fun. (I love Euli. Don't ask me to pick between her and Priye from the last book)

It's utterly stupifying that in the year 2025, we don't have free streaming of the over the air networks, which are broadcast, for free, on airwaves that we pay for with taxes.

Me, out loud: Okay, so the bubbleface nurses' weakness is to shoot them in the knee and then smash them in the face with a pipe when they drop to one leg. My brain: I'm pretty sure that's EVERYONE'S weakness

So, when you boot up the Silent Hill 2 remake, it recommends playing with headphones for an "Enhanced Experience". They ain't wrong. Hearing every creak, groan, and *schlorp* is certainly enhancing the fucked-up-ness of the whole situation.

My awesomely amazing spouse just left for a 4 day trip with her sister. I can't recall the last time we've slept in different buildings, let alone different states in the last 15+ years. It feels weird. At least the cats are here.

Please. Beyond outside validation for the creator, reviews boost a work's digital footprint and makes it easier for others to find.

Like, for real though, am I the only one who feels like I shouldn't have to learn this much weird LORE just to understand the friggin' news?

New single from the Gothard Sisters. Like a large portion of their music, it could be part of a de facto soundtrack for "Tales of a Stranger Sister" but this one seems especially apt as it is called "Storyteller." #booksky #writesky #indiefantasy youtu.be/m8nB5e9Fqa4?...

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Sorry, no. I absolutely do not have to spare one iota of empathy for these bigoted asshats when something bad finally graces their charmed lives. They tell us empathy is a sin and that feelings are for the weak. Fine. Then you will get none. You can pay someone to give a rat's ass about you.

...some of y'all are following these folks on Bsky. Please be careful, OK?

Way to fucking go CHICAGO!

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

I just read someone unironically referring to the Nintendo Wii as a Retro Console and I can feel myself turning to dust.
