On the first night of winter, St. Nautilus flies through the air, pelting good children with candy and dousing the naughty ones in ink.

Definitely don't wanna watch but I await the live commentary.

you’ve definitely heard of elf on the shelf but are you ready

Because sometimes we all need to dive into a wardrobe and escape the world 🦁 Yeah, that's right, it's a Narnia-themed Realms Unknown this week... youtu.be/AhTjORWE9-A?... w/ @alicefraser.bsky.social and @eleanormorton.bsky.social

It's times like these we need to hold onto glimpses of joy, such as when Macaulay Culkin legally changed his middle name to Macaulay Culkin, so he's now officially Maculay Macaulay Culkin Culkin.

Be careful out there. "If you bought bread at any Biloxi Walmart locations, check for any sharp objects. If you find something, let Biloxi Police know at 228-392-0641."

There is a universe where this is the plot of an afterschool special about peer pressure.

I got a pair of pokin' boots with a +2 for charm so I'm feeling pretty good about this.

Ok so didn't happen on my birthday but that's ok I'm not mad or even disappointed I'm just stating facts. There's still plenty of other birthdays to go this year.

My birth time is in 12 mins so if y’all wanna manifest it for my birthday that would be the perfect moment.

It's my birthday tomorrow and if the thing happens well that'll put a something on it for sure

"People giving you shit? Pop 'em one of these for your ol' pal Luigi."

Is this email a HIPAA violation? Yes NO

I know none of these and All The Songs You Need to Know could be the name of an actual band for all I know.

Okay, here's the plan: We make a TV show called "Girl Scout Cookies." So when ever people wanna find out when girl scout cookies season starts, they'll get results for the show! This will anger everyone so you know it's a good idea.

@realmsunknown.bsky.social subgenre deep dive this week will be “fictional non-fiction”. Think reference books for fictional science, manuals for technology that doesn’t exist, bestiaries for dragons, Dinotopia, A Passion For Passion. Tell me your favourite fictional non-fiction!

"Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate." (trans.) "Abandon all hope ye who enter here." Written on the gate to hell in Dante's Inferno. I minored in Italian and the head of the department had it on a sign of his office door.

What do you all like better: Mergers or acquisitions? Me, I just can’t choose!!!

Ernie Hudson looks like he’d smile kindly as you ramble on about something please don’t ruin this dream for me

Instead of relying on wealthy donors, congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social is using a Twitch stream to raise money – and fight a federal indictment aftermath.site/kat-abughaza...

this really isn’t an exaggeration

I'm sure my followers know this, but I'll say it just in case it breaks containment. When the topic is disability; listen to disabled people. Trans rights? Listen to trans people. Racism/ xenophobia? Listen to BIPOC. Women's issue? Listen to women. Marginalised people KNOW what's best for US.

What do you think about a podcast where I play John Cage's 4'33" on various instruments? I would make a paid version with video so you can know it's legit.

Hey gang just a reminder to keep your mic muted unless you're presenting. Thanks!

You awake to find yourself in a dark room. Do you... A) look for a shopkeeper selling quests B) seek a mysterious stranger giving away maps C) Listen to Realms Unknown! Yeah, that's right, this week's episode features @joznorris.bsky.social and choose your own adventures! tinyurl.com/JozRealm

Feeling cute, might slide into some random posts and incorrectly correct you’re with your later.

RCFP is currently representing me in my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police to release body cam footage from their raid on the US Institute of Peace earlier this year. Please support them so they can further their vital work of maintaining journalists' First Amendment rights!

I just saw it's near bedtime but I gotta look up how moss grows for a podcast interview that takes place a few centuries before my main plot and probably will only be in the appendices at best.

HUUUUGE Black bear caught on our garden cam in our backyard in Jersey the other night.

Imagine what they're doing we don't know about. Gophers, moles, burrowing owls, who knows what they get up to under there.

What makes it even funnier is the jacket still looked big on him.

I’m so sick of these decisions being made by people Teddy Roosevelt would’ve beat the absolute shit out of.

Cool so I’m just not gonna sleep at all before working all day then flying then driving cool.

One of my writers groups has people who don't do genre work so don't have a lot of feedback for my space western on Mars. So now I'm writing ballads from the world that are centuries old by now but I need you to know what song a character is referencing in a throwaway line.

I'm just trying to get through another holiday season and outa nowhere the scoundrel Burl Ives reminds me why you really can't trust nobody to do the right thing.
