You have bitten your inner bottom lip while eating an orange. There is blood. You have two days to wait for the inevitable painful sore to erupt. You know it’s going to suck. You are filled with a special kind of woeful irritation

✨BIG ANNOUNCEMENT✨ I’m thrilled to announce I’ve signed contracts for 2 adult-audience novels to be published in 2027 by Richard Shifman! One is a surreal, mirror-world fantasy. The other is a sci-fi—equal parts fun, mind bending, and emotional. Novels #5 & #6 w/ @btwnthelinespub.bsky.social

I absolutely LOVED the new Netflix series, SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN! Surreal, creepy, darkly funny and horrific in turn. Perfect ending imo. The first episode was like if AFTER HOURS was a horror series. #somethingverybadisgoingtohappen

Good God, this first image is perfect. Do you know someone like Ani? WE WERE THE CUCKOO BEES #antifascist #novel #ya #dystopian

My greatest victory today I made my daughter laugh

you didn’t win the lottery today but also you didn’t get struck and killed by a meteorite so you’re doing okay

This. And my older eyes are thankful

SINNERS is an epic, modern horror opera. Should win. #Oscars

Questions Persist While Quakertown Students Remain in Police Custody| “Upper Bucks United & our broader community are in a state of shock.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

There are earthquakes and there are slow tectonic shifts that alter the landscape of our lives. This book, TILT, blends them with such force that your world as a reader is sure to be upended. Read this novel. It will be the most powerful story you’ve read in a while, I promise. Highly recommend.

Finally saw Predator: Badlands. I like the tie-in to the Alien franchise/ Alien: Earth & cheering for Predator. However, PREY remains my favorite Predator movie. Love the historic setting, Naru’s bold character arc, her brother’s heroism, & how it pits cunning and agility vs. technology and force.

A former boss of mine used to joke around saying, ‘the beatings will continue until morale improves.’ This is that. ‘Stop calling me a murderer or I’ll have to murder you some more…’

THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by Stephen Graham Jones is a masterpiece! Superb! My 5-⭐️ review is here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
