“Poorly” painted medieval animals is a great addition to your home.

Today is #WorldBookDay which was created to celebrate the magic of books and the joy of reading. That means today is a GREAT day to check out a book from your local library or buy a new book from your local indie bookstore. 1/

Yeah i have stability

Hello fellow lovers of games! I have a short & anonymous survey for some data gathering towards a video game in pre-production that I would love as many people as are willing to fill out. Shares would also be greatly appreciated! forms.gle/WkuF1nK9Y6yE...

The fabulous Molly Harper is launching her first mystery series!

Ignorance happens. Sometimes stuff is confusing and you don’t know what’s true or not. But listen, if you side with the people attacking LIBRARIES, you’re an asshole. You’re not ignorant. You’re not confused. You’re an asshole.

1) Kaffeklatsch at Third Place Commons is THIS Sunday, March 23 2) I am constantly exhausted, but working anyhow 3) I love you nuts

I made a mistake in yesterday's post. Corrected: Kaffeeklatsch on behalf of Cascade Writers is Sunday March 23 from Noon to 2 at the Third Place Commons in Lake Forest Park. All readers and writers welcome.

Insomnia sucks.

Hello all. @cheriepriest.com (Cherie M. Priest) and I will be hosting a casual kaffeeklatsch for Cascade Writers this Sunday from Noon to 2p at Third Place Commons in Lake Forest Park, WA. Open to all writers and readers.

Wheee!: no power since this morning. Power line the backyard was downed by falling limbs, now lying in a small pond of standing water. House is on Gen, but it doesn't cover the stove, laundry, garage, RV pad (where my home/trailer is hooked up) or my office. Brrrrr... Dining table is a lousy desk.

Kinda late, but it's still good news.

Hey, Storm Waters is on the KRL list of favorite books of 2024! kingsriverlife.com/01/25/krl-st...

Eating pistachios in the shell is less 'having a snack' and more 'starting a new hobby'.

I am dependent on Amazon, too, but DAMN I hate their marketplace practices and have tried to avoid giving them my business for 20 years.

the fabulous Cherie Priest has a new book out later this year!

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

We are halfway through the month of January, which means there are only two weeks left before the @specawards.bsky.social start! The nominations and reader volunteer forms close on January 31. Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far. 🙏We can’t wait to officially begin! ✨🏆📚🏆✨ #SSBA

Nancy Leftenant-Colon, who became the first Black nurse in the U.S. Army Air Corps after President Harry S. Truman desegregated it in 1948, has died at age 104.

Formatting is so wildly important. Please follow submission guidelines about formatting to the letter. Reading 400+ stories is hard enough without scanning through tiny fonts, terrible line spacing, weird justification etc. Help my old eyes read you more easily.

I'm doing another pseudo-historic project at the moment (ANTIOCH) and am daily reminded that here's the thing: cherry-picking what does and doesn't work narratively is FINE. If some nerd notices what you did "wrong," then they can just feel smart about it, I don't care, it's all good 👍

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

“Pulpy” is an understatement—yes. When I asked Lilith to write pulp I knew she would set that as the bar and then leap way the heck over it. And she did. Great review for a great book that you should preorder to make your future self happy.

Sheila in the dollhouse, I know, I know, it's serious.

ASL is distinctly better than even the best CC. I'd ask what sort of self-involved asshole doesn't want others to have equal access to information and entertainment, but why be redundant?

Delightful to see the work in progress.

Submissions for our queer sword and sorcery anthology are open until January 15th. 8¢/word. <6000 words. Very keen on tyrant-killing, intimate stakes, unknowable magic, tiny loincloths, sweaty muscles, big thighs. Good to avoid: epic fantasy tropes. More info: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

Heads up folks! If you're keen on southern gothic haunted house stories and would like to read one of my personal favorites (that I wrote, I mean) - the Kindle edition of THE FAMILY PLOT is on sale for $2.99! www.amazon.com/dp/B01AGBYTEA

One of those days where social media definitely feels like a stock ticker for the apocalypse. Like it's a montage in one of those movies about the end of the world. Anyway! Here's a dog as a "bummer tax."

If you cant afford art, or cant draw or whatever yourself, USE PUBLIC DOMAIN IMAGES NOT AI.

New here so by way of introduction, my name’s Anthony and I make prints inspired by Britain’s ancient landscape and history. Here’s one of my wood engravings, showing the Cove at Avebury

A good place to start the reading challenge!

Walked into my backyard to find two visitors. The pair! What a blessing. I was able to stand there, talk to them and just be. 🤎 ᏗᎦᏘᏍᎩ - Red-shouldered Hawk
