You know, I might even eat one or more of these, since it does not appear to be fried chicken flavor...

This may be peak ABQ.

Landed in ABQ and the lack of humidity is GLORIOUS

Will post my pen haul from Crazy Alan's in Chapel Hill NC when I get home and can unpack and ink everything. Can't wait to get the Anderillium Beta Fish ink into a pen

You know you travel a lot (too much?) when the airport staff at a hub starts to recognize you

I feel seen

Live music night! First up: MZ NEON

The sheer lack of pride in the art form and the weirdly divorced understanding that using AI to make a movie isn’t acting. It’s soulless garbage. AI can’t make art, because it has never had a FEELING. Hyping it up in any way is just ridiculous.

They wrote down exactly why this needed to be a part of their plan. They also wrote that they needed a POTUS to create the SCOTUS that would do this. So I reject the "No one can tell what's in their hearts!🤡" framing. I don't need to know what's in their hearts. I can just believe what they say.

They literally say: We are white nationalists. We are doing this to turn the US into a white ethnostate. We believe in ethnic cleansing. Here are policies for how we can bring about the ethnic cleansing of the United States. We shall call our movement "The alt-right." We need SCOTUS and a POTUS.

Like I said: the civil rights era never ended. You are still in it. The most important form of free speech, is the right to vote. Racists don't want Black people to vote. So they wrote down a plan to stack the Supreme Court with people that would make it harder for Black people to vote. It worked

If you knew that the alt-right was founded by nazis for the sole purpose of ethnic cleansing and joined it anyway? That is bad. But if you didn't know that the alt-right was founded by nazis, to bring about US ethnic cleansing, and joined it anyway? That's even worse. You're an oblivious nazi.

Nazis: We are nazis! We are doing this because we are nazis! We like being nazis! Black people: When people say that they are nazis, I believe them. White people: No one can tell if the racism is intentional or just a sequence of unfortunate coincidences! We can never tell what's in their hearts!🤡

My shameful confession: I have not played Baldur’s Gate 3, so I’m learning about Astarion via this. And uh I’m 95 years old, not dead www.polygon.com/23835927/bal...

Y’all are going to LOVE this one. “T. Kingfisher's upcoming tale of Astarion's early years is part of a new collaboration with Random House Worlds” www.polygon.com/bg3-baldurs-...

Contgrats to all the fine Hugo Nominees, but in particular to my dear friends @kbspangler.com and @alepresser.com on their first ever nomination, and to my wife @tkingfisher.com who I am always proud of. :)

Home for the next several weeks. Thankfully.

This has been my experience for sure.

I can already tell by the way they're demanding access to a baby that these people will suck as parents because they've built a fantasy of what parenting is and the child is just the final accessory People like that get angry when reality doesn't match the fantasy.

"OMG TRUMP LIED AGAIN" He never stops lying. Especially on camera. This newest lie isn't special. Seriously, think of the last time he told the truth on camera. Give me an example. It's not exaggeration. He lies constantly. He does it publicly and recorded. No, I don't care about his new lie.

"The Trump administration has reportedly canceled an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, which offers shelter and care to migrant children" Well let's see how this plays out. Never thought I'd be rooting for the catholics www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-...

Another day, another flight to ATL. Headed to DC for MAGFest meetings. Woo!

I bring a kind of "FREE PALESTINE" to the Bible Study other Christians don't know what to do with.

The more I see of the news, I more I keep hearing the refrain to Poppy's BLOODMONEY in my head: Your soul can't be saved from the sins you've ignored And the devil is well aware he is adored Never forget the excess of a man Because the grabbing hands always grab what they can

First up tonight : Vowwws I think @steveburnett.bsky.social and @deadcoil.bsky.social would like these guys

sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door

Stop lying to yourselves and saying things like, "They didn't know that Trump would do this!🤡" Or "They don't know what's happening!🤡" Or "They're only normies! They are like newborn babes, without knowledge of what is happening in their names!🤡" None of that is true. They know. They approve.

Headed home after a good weekend in RDU. And as promised, here is progress on the piece I've been working on all this time.

Oh ATL, you spent how much on the Terminal D remodel, and the electrical outlets are all crap...

To relax I read Canadian news where the current outrage is one guy in Quebec who cut his maple syrup with sugar. It’s charming. US News: War Criminals and Pedophiles Run the Government and No One Is Stopping Them Canadian news: TABARNAK, THIS BASTARD IN QUEBEC WITH HIS FAKE MAPLE SYRUP MUST PAY

Oh, and since my last trip, I got my Fossil Big Tik Dragon working again.

Off to RDU! It is tattoo weekend, so maybe some new pics tomorrow. We'll see how messy it is. :)

First up tonight : Velvet Chains

Hey @tkingfisher.com look what came in! The Advance of Daggerbound and it is PRETTY.

I FINALLY get people to talk to about this one! Try to guess which scene freaked me out a little!

This never gets old. #NewMexico #dawn #EastMountains

So we were looking for a movie for tonight… ME: What’s SISU? I sorta recognize the name…oh, is it Finnish? KEVIN: *rising maniacal laughter*

Home, finally

If I am going through ATL with a 6 hour delay to get here, I feel I EARNED this.

Hey @maryrobinettekowal.com! One of my Dorsai friends was completely freaked out by your reading of House with Good Bones. Be proud.

Finally got the three piercings on my ear done I'd been considering for a while. So now there is one ring per decade.

Behold, the shiny cover for the shiny new UK edition of Raven & Reindeer!

And there is now an appearances schedule page at redwombatstudio.com/appearances

This is the rock that old Earth First! foundered on.

So....the 2025 remake of The Toxic Avenger is better than the original, while keeping the absolute spirit of the original. And with significantly less gratuitous nudity. How the hell they managed to afford Peter Dinklage, Elija Wood, and Kevin Bacon is a mystery, though.

Don't make excuses for Neil Gaiman's bullshit in my vicinity unless you like bleeding ears.

TFW you pull out a T-shirt with a favorite movie character on it, and the actor is a TERF. BTW and ICYMI, Doug Bradley aka Pinhead is a TERF.

I saw someone say the whole Epstein release was timed to deflect from something else, and here we are.

It was a good visit!
