Kitten wants to fight #caturday

Looking for some summer reads? I gotcha.

Advertise your Bluesky account with a Simpsons image.

Those stupid scam book club emails are annoying enough before I start getting ones that aren't even about *my* damn books.

Welcome Abby #caturday

A new #caturday contender has appeared. Say hello to Abby! She is about a year old, very tiny, and very sweet.

Today’s field trip: Reclaim Arcade.

Got my author copies of the Spanish edition of THE KEEPER OF THE KEY. Dilatando Mentes makes stunning books, and I love the cover by José Antonio Ávila. And there are bookmarks! dilatandomenteseditorial.com/linea-pensam...

Meet my newest fabric art creation: Sunny S. Scorcher the Heliocentric Ghost Bag. I designed and hand-sewed him, and I hand-embroidered all his stars and planets. Sunny's middle initial stands for Scorch, but he doesn't like the sound of Sunny Scorch Scorcher. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

Bambi Meets Godzilla is a triumph of American cinema. I will die on this hill.

These are amazing.

Tonight I am writing a shitty camp song for the summer camp at the center of my latest WIP. It's fun, especially after some Dragon's Milk stout.

Starting at 8pm central tonight, I present “The Best of 1990” in college and modern rock. 5+ hours of music videos starts here at that time: twitch.tv/djjakerudh / 📺💻📱

I think Leo missed me when I was at StokerCon last weekend. He never sleeps by my feet like this. #caturday

I'm in this post, and I'm totally OK with that.

Me watching the live feed of the Kennedy Center waiting for Trump's name to be taken the fuck down already:

It is stinking hot in DC today, so I love it that people are still showing up to watch this in person.

Every summer, seeing my cats on especially hot days brings this classic Gary Larson Far Side cartoon to mind.

Hello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵

Not that I had much doubt about this, but YESSSSS! www.fangoria.com/widows-bay-s...

I liked Backrooms a lot. It reminded me of my recurring dreams of finding entirely new rooms and tunnels in my house. It also reminded me of the Crystal City VA underground and its network of creepy, nearly-empty walkways.

Tonight’s field trip.

The cats for most of the evening: 💤💤💤 The cats when I’m trying to watch Widow’s Bay:

Harpo Marx spoke at his final public performance in 1964. And 60 years later, the tape was found. If you've been a Marx Bros. fan your whole life, as I have, hearing Harpo speak is extraordinarily powerful. www.wshu.org/arts-culture... #FilmSky

We have tickets to see Backrooms on Wednesday night. I heard this come up so much during Stokercon, and I can't wait.

We don't usually see each other's headers, but here's mine. It's a detail from the cover of my novella "The Shadow Dancers of Brixton Hill." I love Luke Spooner's art, and if you want to call me Sensational Ringmaster from now on, I'm OK with it. Quote post with yours if you feel like it.

nothing but respect for *my* final girl

Sharing the Go Fund Me due to a few more requests to do so. All shares, donations, and encouraging words have been incredibly appreciated by myself and my family. Learning to ask for help is never easy, but needing help of this magnitude has been a deeply humbling experience. gofund.me/c1167a0f9

I own this one! It's wild.

Lotus always looks like a possessed demon cat on the night vision security cam.

We're still trucking on with this fundraiser to fix Hamlet's loose little leg. Please share if you can so we can book his surgery, and get him on the mend. gofund.me/3cbef1e95 Ham tax below!

Home from Stokercon. Loved meeting new friends and seeing old ones, even if it was just briefly. I particularly enjoyed the panels on resilience (which I really need right now) and Frankenstein, and I got to see Billy Martin, who I've long admired, read a great story in person. To next year!

So on Friday, I was sitting outside the room for my reading, sick with nerves, when I heard a “mew.” Michelle and Matthew were walking by, and a few nuzzles from Matthew made me feel so much better. Loved meeting both of you at StokerCon!

St. What-EV-ERR.

Having a post-StokerCon lunch at the Church Brew Works.

And then @stephengrahamjones.com wins Best Novel in both of them. Congratulations!

The Nebulas and the Stokers both happening tonight is making my head hurt. “Wait, how did Murderbot win a Stoker?”

I am hanging in my room tonight because I think I may be coming down with some con crud, but best of luck to everyone at the Stokers tonight! #StokerCon
