I share this cartoon by Rachel Greenburg every fall. 😊 Have a good weekend! #fallvibes #friyay #art #comics

I was supposed to pay the hotel for another week yesterday, but I'm still a little shy of covering it. If anyone has anything to spare, every little bit helps. Sharing this post is also greatly appreciated. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdFund cash.app/$Settiai paypal.me/poicelle venmo.com/u/Settiai

AAAAAAAA I met Reading Rainbow Mychal #vla

Make that seven (not counting people from my current library!)

Got to #VLA this morning wondering if I would see anyone I know and I think I'm up to six people before the keynote kickoff 😂

Eyyyyy who's at VLA today? #rva #library

Thanks to a trip to urgent care on Monday, I don't have enough to cover all of my beginning-of-the-month bills including another week at the hotel. If anyone has anything to spare, every little bit helps. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdFund cash.app/$Settiai paypal.me/poicelle venmo.com/u/Settiai

Looking for some #sff short stories? Gift Horses is a collection of ones where things aren't what they first seem. #booksky #indie #writingcommunity

This morning @petercashwell.bsky.social mentioned he had Demolition Man stuck in his head and when my brain tried to dredge that one up from the depths, Telephone Man got tangled in the net as well so now MY brain is yammering "HEY LOLLY LOLLY I'M THE DEMOLITION MAN" thanks Pete

For those outside Virginia, this is like a North Carolina candidate saying, "We're talking about Duke, by the way; saw the game this past Friday. Go Heels!"

Being a real American is about being tough, self-reliant, and shitting yourself terrified of a walkable street with a bookstore and an ice cream shop.

I'm in the middle of this one and shit is FUCKED UP (complimentary)

Well, now I want an edition of The Hobbit with Tove Jansson’s illustrations. www.blackgate.com/2025/05/28/t...

Trying to watch a bunch of spooky movies in September and October, and this week's entries so far were The Final Girls and Vicious Fun, both winners.

Just finished @mkengland.bsky.social 's All Fired Up and it's so fun and hot and sweet! And this is me with the sequel baits:

WAKE THE FUCK UP BABE THEY'VE MANAGED TO SLOW THE PROGRESS OF HUNTINGTON'S BY 75%

Well @sarahgailey.bsky.social was a personable, funny delight at Fountain Books tonight. (I was the weightlifting question!)

Didn't think my schedule would work to go see @sarahgailey.bsky.social and @dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social at Fountain Bookstore tomorrow but the schedule rearranged itself and now I'm going and I'm psyched!

It ys the seasoun of decoratif gourdes, O knaves

It is an awesomely creepy book too

@petercashwell.bsky.social took me Surprise! Square Dancing and I was having SUCH a good time I didn't notice how much #exercise it was and now I am a puddle on the couch, good lord

I love this town #rva

@daryllmarie.bsky.social #birds

Went to horror trivia night with a work friend and two friends of theirs I'd never met and I was decently social I think and actually contributed and we got 3rd place?

So I guess there's going to be a turkey presented to Trump for a "pardon" sometime in November. Is anybody taking odds on whether he'll try to strangle it, fuck it, or deport it?

Who's got two thumbs and tickets to Michael Shannon singing REM

Howdy @sentimentbot.bsky.social

Just signed up to get an email when Aldi advent calendars become available and I feel hopelessly consumerist but last year we missed the cheese calendar and I was SAD.

I just… what the fuck is even happening

Hey @petercashwell.bsky.social

A perfect distillation.

Finally saw Abigail! Solid (deeply silly) extremely bloody fun. (And if you still haven't seen it, be aware that it's leaving Prime in 5 days.)

Fatboy Slim was in the HOUSEMARTINS?!?

#bakeoff I finally realized who Natalia the Ukrainian baker keeps reminding me of! Meghan Markle.

Where is the new bookmark functionality showing up?

Excuse the fuck out of me

Finally (ha) got around to seeing the first Final Destination Y'all, I always LIKED Rocky Mountain High 😭

@westoverhilsbranch.bsky.social library is having a Ren Faire September 20 and just had a flower crown class to prep for it and GOSH I'M CUTE. See you at the Ren Faire! #rva

Loving the cooler weather but one hazard of season-transitional dressing is that sometimes you realize you have accidentally done a full Fetterman 🤮

Oh my god, yes

Friends in London and nearby, this punky scrappy lil Shakespeare troupe is SO GOOD! (And free!) Go see 'em! Tell Mac I said hey!

People were mentioning their AO3 user numbers and I got curious and good gravy, I had no idea I was that early

Any due South folks heard from her?

TIME FOR BAKEOFF

Firehouse theater #RVA has a unisex bathroom now, which yay, but instead of just having 1 stall they have 1 stall and 1 TINY urinal. And it looks so odd to see one so wee and ALONE that I just felt like RUN AND CATCH UP WITH YOUR HERD, TINY URINAL, BEFORE THE LIONS COME

I don't know if there are any tickets left for the remaining performances of Great Comet at Firehouse Theater but y'all it SLAPS

Friday thoughts. ☕️

Hey buddyro

THANK you @markwarner.bsky.social
