Swifties and horror fans haven't been this excited together since sharing a hotel at Pittsburgh StokerCon 2023

A good rule of thumb is just to read anything Alex writes

Seeing a lot more AI-generated or narrated ads on YouTube, and i just gotta say, what a great way to make sure i have the most negative possible association with your product!

You ever donate to an organization one time, and then they spend way more than the original donation on mailers trying to get you to donate again?

3 fantasy leagues: One at work where you can side text w your colleagues about your boss’s awful trade proposals, one with your high school friends with a group chat where no one ever talks about their personal lives, one 14 team dynasty league that’s so deep you end up streaming Tyler Allgeier

Trve Cvlt turns 1 today! If you asked me what my 30s would look like, I wouldn't have guessed it'd be this. Thank you @tenebrouspress.bsky.social Drums by yours truly. Guitars/vocals/production by @rynstonecowboy.bsky.social I have the coolest friends and I'm grateful for all of you 💀💜🤘

I promise you, the only way I manipulated anything in this picture was lifting my hand to get my cat to look up. She placed the string in the heart shape and she placed herself beside it. I can only assume she’s saying she loves me.

Turning Point USA is a political organization, not a religious one, and the fact that Christians can’t recognize that is why we’re in this situation to begin with.

why do you need espn, you're going to start all the wrong guys in your fantasy football lineup anyway. get weird instead

New banger just dropped! But seriously, this is the most challenging story I’ve written. TY to @mathildazeller.bsky.social for her thoughtful feedback

it can't be a good thing that so many of us have seen actual videos of people dying. not just the most recent one, but that too. before i left twitter, several accounts got boosted that were just videos of people getting killed. without warning, pasted onto my feed. how can we not get desensitized?

Still trying to adjust my expectations. When I was a kid, the promise of future tech made life look so cool, and now all I see is "Tech startup raises $14B to make a robot that cuts your hands off and pets your dog with them."

my favorite music group lately released an album last week that kinda sucks. it happens, and i still love them, but it's also a good reminder for myself. i've written some cool things in the past. i've got some good stuff ahead of me. i've been slumping lately, but i've still got it in me somewhere.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve decided to be one of those guys that says, “Livin’ the dream” when people ask how I’m doing.

I think my cat just had an idea.

You ever have one of those days where every time you look down, there’s a different cat on your lap?

i like that there are a few sports people who have come over to Bluesky. I prefer when my sports updates don't get interrupted by Nazi propaganda and engagement slop.

Soon, The Night Ship is touching down, and I need your help. As an editor, the task below the bottom of the list is always promoting my own work, even though it means so very much to me. So if you think you'd like to review this, or blurb it, or heck, catapult a copy at your enemies? Hit me up.

If not the milk I just scanned, what *was* the grocery store self-checkout expecting in the bagging area?

This mosquito that got into my house keeps teleporting when I go to swat it. Why does it know Misty Step?

normally i'm not ready for football season to start until after baseball season is over, but we've had a really cool weather week here, and it just *feels* like football season now.

It’s been five years today since this little creature was found hanging out by the dumpster at the pizza place where I used to work

One of the many damning things about AI companies is that they see a lonely child who needs help and say, “We can provide them with an artificial friend!” and see it as an actual solution. Even when that “friend” can and does do real harm.

Black cats are so pretty. Those eyes! Those whiskers!

Why does my cat look so proud of herself after giving me kisses 😅

Just finished a story for an anthology call I really want to submit to, and lemme tell ya, it is the worst story I've ever written. I think I can salvage it with some major changes, but wow. Draft zero? Pssht, more like draft negative a billion.

Happy publication day to me. Street Cats & Where to Find Them is now available wherever you buy books.

sitting downtown with a "your pet is not the cutest, change my mind" placard just so random people will show me their animals

Child would be fine not eating for weeks if only he didn't also have mild eczema

Finally journalism is meeting the moment 🙄

Yall, my sweet little Midna isn’t doing well. She’s got a ton of hip pain and it’s making her pretty miserable. We’re trying to figure out how to take care of her, but it’s breaking my heart. (Her drool here is happy drool, though.)

And even in places that don’t have public transport, people do this at parks and walking down the street and in restaurants. Everyone has their own theme song but bo one wants to watch that show.

i hate giving my cat medicine. i can get it down no problem, but she doesn't enjoy the process. it breaks my heart when she sees me coming and runs under the couch to get away from me. fortunately, she's pretty quick to forgive me

this story i'm working on is bad. very bad. but it's something. and something can be turned into something good.

When your favorite teams are this bad, you kind of have to pick backup teams to root for to stay sane

Sometimes you have to go all in on a joke that's objectively not funny. Every one of my fantasy football teams this year will be named "Shadeur Flanders" and my icon is this picture of Ned Flanders holding a football.

This cat has the prettiest eye color

Congratulations to these two, and a special one to @matthewtpritt.bsky.social. Lash Egg is disgusting and awesome and I'm so pumped it is coming to curse our shelves next year! 🥚 🦌 🔥 💚

If, in the lead up to this Split Scream’s release, you find yourself wondering, “What is a lash egg?”, consider this your content warning. Lash eggs are gross! Knowing what one is might ruin regular eggs for you!

Today is International Cat Day and to celebrate, all five of my cats got into the same picture.

I’m so thrilled to have my novelette, “Lash Egg,” appear in Tenebrous’s Split Scream series! I’ve been a fan of Tenebrous from the start, and I can’t wait to share this story with you all!

in your pocket, you carry a team of phd level experts, but they're all on mushrooms. you ask them a physics question, but the anthropology phd answers. you're too stupid to know it's lying. the interaction poisons a child and burns twelve trees. this is utopia, you are told. you believe it.

I’m just glad we moved on from “Millennials are killing (insert outdated company/industry)”

i don't know anything about science, and I don't care enough to look into why they want to do it, but "we want to build a nuclear reactor on the moon" is a comic book plot. I am living in a comic book. I am breaking the fourth wall right now. I don't even like Deadpool, but that's what I am now.

One of my cats has a hip injury, and her medication makes her juuuuuust a bit drooly…

“Cats aren’t loving” has never ever been my experience. This creature always has to tell me how much she loves me.

I'm writing something incredibly stupid this morning, and you can't stop me.

Almost got my biscuit stolen by some greedy paws

Say what you will about the tech industry, but in my lifetime, they've done incredible work in the field of "coming up with things to turn into subscription models"
