76th read of 25: The Shadow Dancers of Brixton Hill by @nicolewillson.bsky.social A trio are able to make their shadows dance independent of their bodies -and they’re cooking up a plan to leave the mistreatment they’re facing. Bleak and great read www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

74th read of 25: The Keeper of the Key by @nicolewillson.bsky.social is a great Bluebeardian YA gothic that made me wish stories like this had been around when I was younger. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

Today’s project.

Wingus and Dingus do not want to share the new blanket. #caturday

Just saw the first juncos of autumn. It's a good morning.

My book drive for Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) continues today! For every book or anthology sold, I'll donate $1 to AFAC. You can find all my books here: sonorawrites.com/books/

This is one of my favorite subplots of a very good night.

I am so fucking proud of both my birth state (NY) and my current state (VA) right now.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Me in November ‘24: THAT’S IT, I’LL VOTE BUT I’M NEVER CARING ABOUT AN ELECTION EVER AGAIN. FUCK EVERYTHING. Me tonight:

I voted a couple of weeks ago. Virginians, if you haven't voted yet, please get out and do it today.

I could really use some help this month. If you enjoy what I do, signing up for my Patreon is a great way to support me as an artist and a human being. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

I almost forgot #caturday - please accept this shot of my two sweet sleepers holding paws as an apology. 💜

Thanks so much, Gabino (and happy Hallowe'en!). I'd love a share of this post about my queer horror comedy (smalltown influencer horror with spooky woods, cryptids, and a fuckton of queerness!). bsky.app/profile/stev...

I snuck in these @tkingfisher.com & @nicolewillson.bsky.social books for the last few days of spooky season. #booksky

Today’s field trip.

In a house full of blankets and beds, every cat wants to be on the same throw. 🙄 #caturday

Leo is doing his best impression of a jack o’ lantern for Halloween. #caturday

#caturday morning. No, you cannot sort out the dirty laundry now. The bed was empty when I started to dump the hamper. 😹

I’m going live tonight at 10pm central via twitch.tv/djjakerudh with a special ‘80s ‘Sophisti-pop’ theme.🍸 Sade, Prefab Sprout, The Style Council, Level 42, Everything but the Girl, The Blue Nile, Double, Talk Talk, ABC, China Crisis, etc

I saw this Yard Nosferatu on the way back from Shenandoah and have been jealous ever since.

When things feel irredeemably awful, a picnic in the mountains is a great escape.

PREORDERS ARE UPPPPPPOPP!!!! Already haunted with anticipation 👻

Early voting locations in the VA governor race expanded today. I voted a straight blue ticket. (I don’t give two shits about Jones’s texts.) Nice steady clip of people going in and out of the precinct. www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba...

I watched this today and have this goddamn theme song lodged in my head. Now it's your turn. Watch if you dare. youtu.be/XzHDvzGmmw0?...

Extremely rare photo of all three of our beasties at once. They don’t usually all get this close without a kerfuffle breaking out. #caturday

If you see this post a random picture from your device without explaining it

Six years ago, a truck full of rescue cats pulled up by the Baltimore wine bar where Bill and I were hanging out, which is dirty pool. We ended up taking the orange tabby in the lower left compartment home. #caturday

Something about woolly bear caterpillars still makes me squeal like a little kid after all this time.

A little bit of perspective today.

Our neighborhood Halloween cat paid a seasonal visit this morning. #caturday

Observed at Home Depot: The kids looking at these are kind of meh while the adults are having a ball pushing all the Try Me buttons and laughing.

My husband and I were married 26 years ago today in Baltimore, where we are now.

We made it! The final Promptember prompt is "squander." Hope you had some fun with this--I know I did!

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers: NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints. and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

The penultimate Promptember prompt is "locked door." Have fun!

We're down to the last few days. Today's Promptember prompt: My favorite dirtbag.

Leo was mad at me because of Reasons, but had to come downstairs and sit near me with his back to me so I’d know he was mad. #caturday

Heading into the final Promptember weekend. Today's prompt is "Five dream jobs you didn't know existed (because they don't)".
