I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life. Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

I came out of my bedroom this morning to find Booker on the bathroom counter staring at me, and Quentin in the reflection. Though to be clear, Quentin has that look on his face a lot of the time.

With my recent acquisition of The Suicide Motor Club I have finally completed my collection of @buehlmeister.bsky.social books. As I was shelving them I thought what better companion to The Necromancer’s House than my hand of glory sculpture?

Hey friends who grew up in or around Nashville in the 80s and 90s: just today someone finally uploaded a copy of the Emma’s, the Supoilative Florist commercial. I’ve been idly looking for this for YEARS. youtu.be/cvDEmrdHF0Q?...

As a trans woman, I love the way my allies treat Harry Potter casting announcements as if those actors died in a plane crash.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

@michaelwehunt.bsky.social I just finished The October Film Haunt. It was great, thank you, and made more surreal by reading Sweeten Creek Road in print. Never expected to see the street I used to live on pop up. How did so much of Arden / Asheville end up in there?

It's weird how nobody ever talks about the fact that we all hear incredibly loud discordant high-tempo circus music in our heads at all times

I don’t know who you are, Pete Muller and Frank Longo, but I will find you and you will pay for this.

This Craigslist post has left me questioning reality

wait... your wellness pills have clinically studied herbs? that's so sick. what did the clinical studies reveal

Coming up on a year with my new tattoo and this is the first time the maples have changed since, and I’m so happy right now.

I don't have the energy to track what's up with (what's left of) the FDA and what they're doing with the COVID vaccine. All I know is it's September which means it's time for me. Tried to set one up online at Walgreens, got cancelled. Got through at CVS, came home with my vaccine. 💉✅

Just re-read Nevada by Imogen Binnie and it's even better the second time which probably has something to do with me being less stupid than before? I haven't figured that part out yet.

Every day I see cool artwork on here and think, I would repost that if it had alt text.

@buehlmeister.bsky.social I just finished The Necromancer's House after several nights of forcing myself to put it down so I could at least get half a good night's sleep. Fantastic stuff!

I was just reminded of this essay I wrote many years back about photographing buildings at twilight, maybe you'd like to read it. komara.exposure.co/liminal

Hey #booksky or #horrorbooks even though my to-read pile is too big, I'm still searching for more to add. What are the legit scariest books you've ever read?

All I want is for it to happen while he's giving a speech, something in public, even better if it's broadcast live. I don't want them to be able to hide it for a few days.

Booker's multi-colored beans

My origin story was revealed in a dream sequence running less than 30 seconds.

Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok

being in ICE or Border Patrol must be so crazy right now, you’re walking around as the disposable henchmen you can kill without qualms in the coming century of films and video games

I’ve been blessed with being a fairly healthy person up to this point in my life so today was a first for me. My doctor: “I’m prescribing this treatment because you need it.” United Healthcare: “no he fucking doesn’t.” Can’t wait to see how long this goes on and how stressful it gets.

@paultremblay.bsky.social @almakatsu.bsky.social got some timeline synchronicity goin on here

Were you wondering how much of Booker’s cheeks is just fluff versus fat little cat face? We have the answer for you.

@buehlmeister.bsky.social I just finished The Daughters' War and loved it (just as much as I loved The Blacktongue Thief). Please tell me there will be more entries in this series.

I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a rubber band sandwich

Shoutout to the guy in my neighborhood who wears shrimp boots while walking his dogs. If you stay ready, you ain’t got to get ready!

I have been struggling lately with how to reconcile the fact that I’m really good at my job (and am paid accordingly) with the idea that the stress of it is going to slowly kill me. Some days I like what I do and am proud of my work. Most days I want to go lie face down in the grass and give up.

I vow to become the naturalist who discovers the skenk and the skonk. (Your mom has already been identified.)

Two crucial updates: One, did you know sunlight can remove turmeric stains? I have a metal tray that has had a big yellow stain on white paint for months. Two hours in direct sunlight: completely gone. Two, I have had the phrase “Come on, Parbie, let’s go bardy” stuck in my head for hours.

Post an unusual sign if you feel like it

I just finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social and it gained a spot in my top three vampire novels. It lived up to all the hype I've seen online. While I was thinking about my top three list I thought about the fact that there are a LOT of vampire novels out there that [1/2]

Okay in the past I’ve never had a to-read pile more than a few books high but the book store gift cards and thrift stores and Little Free Libraries have smiled upon me lately. #booksky reassure me that this is normal or that your pile is way worse

So excited the library finally told me my copy of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social was available. I knocked out about a quarter of it last night before I forced myself to stop. I also got Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield on recommendation from @yumewrites.bsky.social #booksky

what do you mean 'normal tools'?

If a 33 year old socialist immigrant Muslim can win the Dem mayoral nomination in a landslide in the biggest city in the entire country Fuck it man, the game is on, get this shit moving and start fighting

This is why I stopped wearing button-down shirts. I got promoted high enough that I don’t want to go any higher.

I used to run with a pretty tough gang when I was younger.

Happy Pride to those who strongly disagree. bsky.app/profile/kenn...

good morning tuesday morning

you don't really know why but you wanna justify KISSING SOMEONE'S FOREHEAD
