When people advocate for switching entirely to traditional farming methods I like to ask them why they support genocide

Today my daughter asked in all sincerity, "What is hot?" And like ... that's getting into some existential shit right there (Before you try it I was all over 'naming something hot' as a response, she was having none of it)

This is a hugely entertaining book and a genuinely great audiobook performance. If you do audiobooks highly recommend picking up this for not much money.

Hmm, odd request: poetry or verse suitable for pre-schoolers that's NOT horribly twee. She has "Twas The Night Before Christmas" by heart and 'reads' it constantly. I have Shel Silverstein, but it's too old and wordplay based for her. Everything else is like traditional nursery rhymes.

THIS STORY IS SO FUCKING FUN YALL. I just saw @peterclines.com describe it as "Pirates of the Caribbean meets 40k" and honestly, it tracks.

IN HAPPIER NEWS Check out The Thirteenth God from @djangowexler.bsky.social He's let me read a little ahead of the chapter releases and it's a gloriously fun story about a low level con artist who finds himself tangled up in a plot to kill god. Sort of Pirates of the Caribbean meets Warhammer 40K.

Pre pub, trunked 2, plus 3 fanfic. 2 early pub novels that nobody really saw. Post pub, no full novels trunked; I've got 3 maybe in partial states of completion that I hope to sell someday.

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

The thing that gets me is that these statements are accurate, that is a correct description of US policy. And as @bretdevereaux.bsky.social likes to note it should be followed by "And then the US became the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world"!

Hello BlueSky! Today I would like to talk about Trupanion, why I just canceled my coverage, and why you may not get what you expect from them! At issue: dental coverage for cats.

Slaughterborne! With a name like that, he must be a nice guy #thethirteenthgod www.royalroad.com/fiction/1472...

Z declares that her favorite animals are "tigers, dogs, skeletons, and lions."

Thesis: the music video for Take On Me is a complete hero's journey in four minutes. She briefly refuses the call, enters the underworld and adventures with strange powers, returns to real life changed but ultimately claiming her prize. youtu.be/djV11Xbc914?...
