I just found this game Kickstarter and it's too cute to resist! Only 43 hours left to pledge, though. www.kickstarter.com/projects/coz...

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland. It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

Seattle Mystery Bookshop may be closed (sigh), but we're still active in one small way - our monthly newzine. Here is November's edition! mysteryish.wordpress.com/2025/11/01/n...

I’m excited to share my finished marionette/puppet, Gourd-fellow the pumpkin sprite. This is my first marionette and I had so much fun making him, I'm probably just gonna turn into Geppetto now. 🎃

Did you know that rape within a marriage was not a crime until relatively recently? @sarahweinman.com has written a stunning exploration of this hidden history and the landmark case that changed everything.

Boo!

Got a few of these recently and something just felt "off" so I declined. Glad I did.

Ok, I started following Hildur because she has a very cute dog, and now I'm so happy I did! Go, Hildur!

Some autumnal trees I painted with watercolor to try out a new deer foot brush. (not made from deers.)

I have a soft spot for Rackham

Afternoon

Friday, M-F friends! The weekend begins the moment you check out of work. You've got this. Do it.

It's been a busy October so far. I hope you've had a chance to steal away a moment for some cozy relaxation. If you're looking for a quick, fun read, Nursery Crimes will do the trick (or treat!). www.devonmonk.com/stand-alone-...

@maryrobinettekowal.com knocking it out of the park! (as she does.)

“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.

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.
