I have a friend's birthday celebration, so I only got tickets to the "go to bed early" act.

@tco-anthology.bsky.social Your kitchen overflows with New Year's prep. Do you: a) Open a pocket dimension to handle the overflow, b) Throw it all out and just bring lunar moonshine to the cookout, or c) Make a deal with Hoppin' John

I thought I was dating goat milk this whole time... Then the platic horns fell off.

@pcverrone.com @tco-anthology.bsky.social The ball is in your courts.

You overate at the cookout. Do you a) Beg Granny Witch for her indigestion potion? b) Swap your overstuffed stomach for your empty backup stomach? c) Grab a fresh plate for thirds? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Tokyo Godfathers

I have a whole blog post on it: emmaliah.wixsite.com/emmaliawrite...

Festive time is almost here! Is your kitchen the avatar of Chaos, or do you have house fairies or nanobots helping you? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

@tco-anthology.bsky.social, should we sneak these spices into the cookout? Think the aunties will take it well if we alter the flavors of their secret recipes? www.atlasobscura.com/articles/try...

This is what happened when an unsupporting jerkface tried to control a headstrong storyteller. emmaliah.wixsite.com/emmaliawrite...

“I am Nicholas Scratch, Confiturier Extraordinaire. Visiting your fine fair at this meeting of local giants. I bring with me an unearthly collection of excellent jams, of which you have surely never seen their like. I also have my fiddle for some music, a challenge and a biscuit, if you're game...”

I want to stay consistent. Nothing will get done if I only write in fits and starts.

Your cookout is on a crossroads. The devil shows up, offering a deal for anyone who defeats him in a jam session. What happens? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

One person's byproduct can be your delicious ingredient. It can be as humble as bacon grease, celestial as Milky Way buttermilk, filling as lembas croutons, or.... Whatever it is Yog Shoggoth makes. What will be in your cookout? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

"A tea specialist-turned-assassin" You already have my attention.

Anyone up for making seasonal soda for their year-end cookout? @tco-anthology.bsky.social youtu.be/zF95IperemI?...

Sunshine! For those who don't know, it's a vampire novel by Robin McKinley that thrives on subverting vampire tropes without becoming an outright parody. Also contains graphic depictions of dessert and baked goods.

Colin, you're encouraging IP theft.

It's the holiday season and if you have a fantasy reader reader in your life you can't go wrong with the Royal Heretic series! The entire trilogy is available at mvmediaatl.com at a special, publisher only price!

Feeling a chill in the air? Warm up with a mystery brew. Will you sneak a cup from Auntie Witch's cauldron, gather ingredients from the Mad Scientist Garden, or drink essence from the eldritch thing at the back of you fridge? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

I once belonged to an SFFH writing group with rigid ideas of what makes a story. They gave be grief for writing character driven stories, slice of life, PoC centric, etc. I still say f*ck you, I'm a write what I want, not follow other's arbitrary "rules."

@tco-anthology.bsky.social, what kind of cookout do you imagine for this gingerbread house? youtube.com/shorts/qOmTP...

FIGHT THE POWER!

An experimental recipe for the cookout. Can you guess what it is? A fairy ring cake? An edible cosmos? The one thing capable of containing Cthulhu citrus? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

I'm all for removing filler and awkward phrasing. I refuse to make my leads a cishet romantic couple to suit others' "marketable" ideals.

@tco-anthology.bsky.social This fusion barbecue sounds cookout worthy. Thoughts? youtu.be/MWyAzBh6IwM?...

I just called my reps with @5calls.org. Call your reps, remind them who they work for: 5calls.org

Without saying Lord of the Rings, name a fantasy film. Fire and Ice aka early clue I'm queer af.

I'd be much choosier about what jobs I apply to. Rather than play application roulette, I'd only seek companies that are spoonie and neurodivergent friendly.

Will your cookout focus on the fantasy fare of one fine heritage? Or will it contain all the cuisine of your multiethnic cosmos? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, my wallet's ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. Corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chase tax breaks are unworthy of our money. Join me! #WeAintBuyingIt 🚫 app.sosha.ai/s/Smr2zCKf

I like creating and telling stories. I can't remember not wanting to be a fiction writer. Dysgraphia is certainly a curveball, but it also influences how I write.

Walk on Grey Ruins made a bestseller list! emmaliah.wixsite.com/emmaliawrite...

Big cooking holidays are upon us. While some people can whip up a feast for dozens the day of the cookout, some need to start well in advance. What's your @tco-anthology.bsky.social prep like? A Fridge of Holding to keep all your ingredients fresh? A time accelerator to roast meat in minutes?

Ningen Isu dropped a new music video about an hour ago! SQUEEE! youtu.be/-t8zBpTmIxo?...

The asexual community: Hold our cake.

Sometimes you want to try something new from Avant-Garde Android's Cookbook. Other times you curl into Cozy Fantasy Corner for your favorite safe food. What do you like bringing to the cookout? Something you never made before, or That One Dish everyone knows you for? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Me, my brother, and several maternal cousins are neurodivergent. My mom is amazed how neurodivergence came out of nowhere. I don't think she's ready for me pointing out she and 2 of her siblings ping my neurodar. Instead, I pointed out my dad, who she was married to for 22 years, is neurodivergent.

A study in orange, brought to you by #caturday

What fantastical ingredients will be in your cookout story? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

I tried making beef stew, but the meat to vegetable ratio is 1:3 and counting. What do you think is the cause, @tco-anthology.bsky.social ? A replicator that prefers printing veg? A meat stealing sprite?

@gibbsmoryss.bsky.social Thought you'd get a kick out of this Malvolio: youtu.be/zobQymZgbrA?...

The callaloo and chicken were yummy, but I really should have gotten a larger plate, or better yet, a bowl. What's the plate situation at your cookout? Do they magically expand to hold all the food? Are they equipped with anti-gravity to support all 10,000 sides? @tco-anthology.bsky.social

Feeling a chill in your area? These Jamaican rice and peas, seasoned with African bird pepper, will warm you right up. Will you put fiery flavoring in your @tco-anthology.bsky.social contribution? Perhaps habaneros with actual hellfire? Or ghost peppers from a haunted mansion?

@effies.bsky.social I thought you'd get a kick out of this. youtu.be/PuPwiE_kCSQ?...

@tco-anthology.bsky.social, what's the scarier cookout dish, gelatinous cube or mid-20th century jello mold? youtube.com/shorts/hhKua...
