Great #bookmail day! Really looking forward to FOUR PAST MEAT NIGHT by @laurelhightower.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social @rjacksonjoseph.bsky.social & @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, as well as revisiting old friends in THE BEST OF @briankeene.bsky.social. Lovely box of fun from PandiPress.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

today i learned there are people who put halloween decorations away? they're not just... home decor??? buncha freaks 😒

Happy Pub Day to @briankeene.bsky.social, @cgolden.bsky.social, and every author on the TOC for THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: NEW TALES OF @stephenking.bsky.social’s THE STAND. So very excited to revisit one of my favorite worlds through the lens of some of my favorite authors! Ellie is too!

Was very thrilled to find a copy of this at one of the local Barnes and Nobles yesterday. Cannot wait to get lost in it!

Forgot to post this bit of #bookmail when it came, but I devoured this @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social edition of UNHOLY by @jvgachs.bsky.social in one sitting today. Was a new author to me, and highly recommend this one!

Huge congratulations to my good pal, and Eisner Winner, Clayton Cowles! Well earned and deserved!

‘The inability of Western powers to condemn Israel’s conduct – much less bring it to an end – has made a mockery of the rules-based order that they claim to uphold.’ Adam Shatz on the world since 7 October: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

A kingdom has lost a king, and the people are mourning. Metal has lost a legend and a kind soul. Music is a gift from the universe,m that transcends time and space. It is one of the most powerful forces I can think of. My heart is heavy.

Nope, nope…no celebration day for you, USA. Go stand in the corner and think about what you’ve done.

If the Dems don't fully and enthusiastically back Zohran, then I don't want to hear anyone say "Vote blue, no matter who!" ever again.

Do what you love for a living, and you will never have a day off for the rest of your life.

New LaRocca is always an instant buy for me. Maybe it could be for you too?

Stop giving J K Rowling your money. You cannot separate the artist from the art because the "artist" is still alive and using your money to destroy trans lives. Fix your hearts.

Tomorrow may be the last Free Comic Book Day, at least in the form that we've always known it. This morning, I mentioned this to our local convenience store manager, (who watches all the comic movies). He frowned and asked, "What's Free Comic Book Day?" That sums up the entire industry right now.

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.

This week marks five years since our dog was paralyzed and needed emergency spinal surgery. Today she dragged me all the way to town hall just because. Nothing makes me happier.

Happy #RexManningDay to all who celebrate!

“wHy noT mAnufaCturE in AmeRICa?” Because capitalism gutted America’s manufacturing capability in the 80s. It’s now at hobbyist levels, at best, so neither cost effective nor time efficient let alone capable of large scale production.

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

If you haven’t read this yet, now is a great time to grab it. Highly recommended!

Two separate conversations this last week lead me to this song. So I figured I should do another piece of it… 40 MILER 5.5 x 8.5- original For details or commissions email [email protected]

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

Happy Twin Peaks Day to all who celebrate!

This is a moment I’d always hoped for, but was never sure I’d see. The tears of joy are real on this one.

Have a good week, friends. KILLING IN THE NAME 5.5 x 8.5- original For details or commissions email [email protected]

Dave was a gem of a human, and one of my favorite people to go back and forth with online. I think of him daily and treasure the memories. If you knew him, I’m sure you do, too.

Paul at @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social makes some of the most stunning signed limited edition books out there. There’s a bunch in stock right now, go see if something grabs your attention. You won’t regret it!

To those of you normalizing all the anti-constitutional behavior of law-breaking under the guise of, "But he's DOING something!" Might I remind you that Super Villains, terrorists, and that neighbor you hate, all DO THINGS, but it doesn't make them right or legal. May your vision be CLEAR.

Yesterday was @marysangiovanni.bsky.social’s birthday. That means it’s still her birthday month. You should celebrate by buying one of her books. Maybe her new one, a Lovecraftian collab with Edward Lee? Happy Birthday, Mary! a.co/d/eCbcPAw

I know he stopped doing these a couple years ago, but in David Lynch's memory:

💔💔💔

Live in such a way that a PR department never has to craft a "See, what had happened was" statement on your behalf.

Happy Birthday/Gotcha Day to my little sun devil, Ellie! Cant believe you’re 7 already. Summer will be back before you know it, baby bean. 💜

We had to say goodbye to our little old man, Murphy, today. He was 20. He had a wonderful life, and was the most loving dog I’ve ever met…. But we weren’t ready and it didn’t feel like it was time. Or that there would ever be enough. He was the best.

This is one of my favorite reads in recent years. I highly, highly recommend reading it, if you haven’t. It’s well deserving of the award, and on sale real cheap right now! a.co/d/cxAeRTY

Happy 20th (!!!) Birthday to my best little buddy in the whole wide world. It hasn’t been the easiest year for him, but this little guy is so special, and full of love, and means the world to us. 🎂

Chilly Fall weather was not stopping Ellie from her morning pawtrol around the neighborhood….. either time 🤣

I might be biased, but Ellie might be the best movie watching companion.

To reiterate: Pixar's Inside Out 2 is the highest grossing animated film of all time. Pixar also pushed artists into 7-days-a-week crunch, and right when they were getting to the finish line, laid them off. These overworked artists lost their bonus, healthcare, and income in SF.

Alert! The e-book of MONGRELS by Stephen Graham Jones is on sale for just $1.99! This was the first novel of his I read and it made me a @sgj.bsky.social reader for life!

This little old man could use all the positive energy and well wishes today. His hips have been giving him all kinds of grief the last couple days, and he’s had trouble holding himself up today. He’s got an urgent vet trip scheduled this afternoon, but we’re worried about him.

I hear people say “Wow, horror is having a moment right now!” and also “Horror is more diverse than ever right now” and I truly hope they see the correlation.

Lovely bookmail day! Just got @marysangiovanni.bsky.social’s newest, THE EVERYWHERE HOUSE, in a beautiful @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social edition. Cannot wait to start this one!

back in my day we called this spyware

The one where Ellie gets a tutu, and is not thrilled.
