Here’s some sketches exploring one of my ideas for the creature from “The Terror” by Dan Simmons, and how I imagined it could work as a supernatural element while still able to be mistaken for a polar bear at a glance or in the distance~

Do you know I actually think that these people are so inoculated from any public sentiment that they are legitimately shook by a handful of boos at commencements this week?

Oh I made a terrible mistake. I'm broken. My legs ache. I was so proud of myself Saturday for being responsible and not pushing myself too hard.

Third ride of the year. Third ride since Saturday’s slow 7.5 miles. Twenty miles. Hour and a half. Now I’ll be useless for the rest of the day.

Absolutely loved Bunny when I read it a few years ago, and now I'm reading the sequel and am equally delighted and amused by it. Mona Awad is incredible.

A little poem for #smallpoemsunday (and therefore for @tomsnarsky.bsky.social)

I suffer from GBS (Ghostbusters Syndrome) wherein if I go for a walk or bike ride I refuse to cross my own path no matter how much time it takes.

Read a novel-in-verse from @deepvellum.bsky.social this #APAHeritageMonth! Sophia Terazawa’s TETRA NOVA “tells the story of Lua Mater, an obscure Roman goddess who re-imagines herself as an assassin coming to terms with an emerging performance artist identity.” store.deepvellum.org/products/tet...

Forever one of my favorite books.

Had such an immediate and amazing idea for a cover but then I realized I read the title wrong. Devastated.

I guess no one else plays the Hey Fred Schneider game...

Hey Fred Schneider, what are you doing? I’m driving a train through the heart of a cow!

Here's a little stone made with hand painted and found papers I'm sending to friends on a postcard for #WorldCollageDay.

I have a MS of poems written in 2018. I have a MS of erasures of cowboy poetry. I have a MS of erasures of the novelization of Ang Lee's HULK. I have a MS of prose poems written after 1950-90s Polish animated shorts. Publish David.

Made a new friend! First cat interaction since Paisley passed. He really was trying to get inside…Lindsay would be less than happy with me.

What song turns you into an irresponsible driver? For he it’s “Funkytown” especially when I start air violining for no reason.

Made carnitas tacos for the first time and they are delicious. I always order them so why not learn to make them?

Mary Ruefle serving us our own🫀 on a 🍽️.

I don't need things to be easy, but maybe just a little less hard? I forget when I last got good news. Honestly, since Ophelia died in October 2024, it really feels like I've had an onslaught of bad to devastating news.

Presentation is often less important than deliciousness. This cookie is a writing metaphor.

Life is hard so I threw together some sugar cookies and will frost them with leftover frosting from the animal cracker cake.

Not committing yet, but what do we think...website or lil book?

I suddenly have a powerful urge to play Lemmings.

There’s an X-Files channel on PlutoTV. In case you need it.

I listen to pretty much the same music all the time, and I'm a little bored with it. I'm going to be in the car for over an hour today. I'm 40, it's a little chilly and overcast here today. What album should I listen to while driving?

Oof. Another rejection for the MS that features nothing but poems like these which, as always, means it's still available for any lucky press to snatch up.

We stopped at a candy store in the mall called It’s Sugar (a chain so maybe there’s one near you) and while it’s a little overpriced, they are the most beautiful gummy candies I’ve ever seen and they’re delicious.

This one hits harder and harder the older I get:

"My vision blurs. I’m chased out of the woods by a piano. My fingers turn into piano keys" "I will remake Kafka from his own wings. I will unstitch my coat; I will unmake my home" So much to love in these three poems from @mrwojorising.bsky.social

Love Edward Mullany

Aside from some ganache drip issues, not too shabby.

It's going to be an iced animal cracker inspired cake. There are 4.5 components. I have to melt white chocolate chips (not easy without seizing). I want it to be perfect.

Baking a birthday cake for my incredible wife always stresses me out. I used to bake alone all the time. When we moved in together, a lot of it became a team sport. I have less reasons to bake full cakes by myself except every year for her birthday so I always panic that I'm out practice.

2 weeks gone and I still look for her. When her sister passed, it was different because there was still a cat in the house. Now there’s an absence of cats, but I still look to all her spots expecting to see her.

Just spoke to a publishing class about design work so...if you need a visitor to talk about getting into design, designing book covers, working with authors, the pitfalls of publishing, etc., feel free to message me!

Had 3 poems from my new MS Kielbasa appear in the Bulb Region this weekend! Here's one of them. Visit their site for the others!

Blast from the past! First poem is the first poem from my book and the other two...I just forgot about? Or the editors cut them from my book? Who knows!

Starting to wonder if I should publish my HULK manuscript myself as a book OR as a website...though I'd love a press to give it a home.

@mrwojorising.bsky.social is the best, and so are these poems.

I’ve got 3 ekphrastic prose poems up at the Bulb Region! Very excited about all the amazing work Sarp’s been publishing and honored to be included.

Earlier this year I got an email from a very known design group encouraging me to send a specific book cover to their contest. Earlier today I got an email from a very known design group encouraging me to try again next year. Shit was expensive to enter but I thought it'd be good career-wise...

Often have this stuck in my head when the weather starts to get nice: youtu.be/gFeOa2vBZeI?...

Best line in Wayne's World 2? "People need to be entertained, they need the distraction. I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again. Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?"

this is tonight!! 4 marvelous poets & writers whose work you will not want to miss :) 💡 click through to the quoted 🧵 to register!

Picked this up today and donated a lot of her stuff…
