Heard from the Shapleigh library today. They're turning 10/21 into a spooky event. Stay tuned for details!

Un-hinged-pit! Un-hinged-pit!

"It has been said that for evil men to accomplish their purpose it is only necessary that good men should do nothing." - Reverend Charles Frederic Aked, 1916

UNHINGED PIT!!!!!

Scam alert: a scammer is soliciting authors in the name of the Crime Writers Association, offering "trend analysis" and other bogus services. I suspect this is another of the Nigerian PR scams that are so prevalent right now thecwa.co.uk/news/beware-...

I am positively SHOCKED... ...mostly that they decided to fund a study when AI critics have been saying this the whole time.

Okay Monday, I'm here... -artist Fredrik Raddum

Clover has an activity mat to spare the other pets her attention. It makes Clover tired and tired Clover makes my house safer for everyone and everything. #catsofbluesky

Why does "intelligent life" on other planets mean "like humans"? Why not Balaenopteridae or Elephantidae-like and perfectly content to live their lives without exploring or colonizing? This is why it's probably best I don't write Sci-fi, but my one dabble features Cephalopods.

If you're looking for a horror novel that subverts some standard tropes, the haunted house is brand new and Mel makes rational and relatable choices. Snuggle up with Straw Girl this spooky season. Just make sure your doors are all closed. #horror #spookyseason #booksky books2read.com/u/3JB1zK

Name a comedy that never fails to make you laugh! 😆🤣😂

Having a rough day/week. If you don't mind, can you please share something good and/or pet pics?

Mr. Lowe is correct. After pouring over my MS for days, I found a missing period in my paperbacks. I was afraid to look further.

As a public service, I am putting myself in time out until I'm ready to stop being cranky.

Easiest thing on earth to #boycottDisney Bye bye Disney+

Some of these places are such an unbelievable hassle to update they can keep the unsecure email. If you aren't the government, you don't need a copy of my ID and do a video call to verify my identity. Roku is giving me a harder time than my flipping bank. Everyone just needs to calm down.

Is it even an 80's movie if there's no sax on the score?

For anyone interested, lots of events being added for October 18. 🚫🤴

If you see this, quote with a gif of the last show/movie you watched. 🎥 #filmsky

I worked on my WIP today. Please clap.

I have a strong dislike of "no answer means no", and I'm getting a lot of it when looking around to do events.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the only one stopping you from having cookies for breakfast is you.

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that all beds are Clover's bed, especially if it's folded in half on top of something to get it out of the Roomba's way. That makes it better. #catsofBlueSky (no filter, just a lot of gray and white 🤣)

I'm so old that jokes that used to circulate via email are now being shared as social media posts.

Share with your mental state.

Blech. That is all.

if you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Saaaame.

My electric fence is working. The goats aren't cooperating with it, but the fence is working. Might need to run a hot line inside the electric fence as an additional deterrent.

Darned right I got my nine cents back.

We had temps in the mid-nineties starting in June and the weather service had a hazardous weather outlook predicting frost/freeze at the end of this week. *checks calendar* In September.

We went on a 90-minute hike with the dogs. How do they not grasp that we will not be doing our usual walk as well?

Someone reached out to tell me they're reading Straw Girl. No pressure!

I fully endorse this requirement. It might take some time but people might start being nicer to each other.

I'm being attacked. ATTACKED.

Happy #caturday

Trash panda update: it was lurking around last night so I left an egg out. The egg was still there this morning so I assume the fence works. Electric fence update: I need more ground rods.

Fans of science fiction fantasy and straight up sci-fi with twisted societies, reluctant alliances, and flawed characters, may I entice you with my weird writing? Sequels in both series coming soon! www.rebeccareyeswriting.com/work/book-series #SFF #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Books #BookSky💙📚

(Sorry, last post was a mess and no edit button yet. Still.) I booked my first reading today! I'll be at the Shapleigh Community Library at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, October 21. I'll do a short reading, answer some questions, and have books available for sale. Very excited!!! books2read.com/u/3JB1zK

Feeling your vibe from across the room.

Sorry, everyone. My cranky pants are on extra tight today.

They used AI to process my dispute, which led to it being closed immediately. No customer service in their chat, 40 minutes on hold with dead air. When I called, they said "you've been a valuable customer for 15 years!" Then I guess maybe don't blow it up over $0.09?

PayPal is clearly using AI to handle disputes.

On hold without hold music is just awkward and weird.
