Too freaking hot to cook, but in about three minutes, I threw together one of the yummiest salmon bowls I've ever made. 😋

Thank you, Mimzi Haut, for customizing the crow to bring this arrangement together. I am in love! If anyone wants to read more about this artist, check out "The Art Gallery" column in the Summer Solstice issue of Eternal Haunted Summer eternalhauntedsummer.com/issues/summe...

Thank you so much to whoever nominated them! Congratulations to the incredible poets already & soon to be on the list!

K-Cups don't have to be horrible. Here are some small roasters that I have found that make incredible K cups. And some of my favorite of their offerings. If you are also incredibly picky about your coffee, but wed to the convenience of the Keurig, where are you getting your coffee? #coffee #keurig

First publication of the year and it took me this long to realize that it was out. Yeah it's been that kind of January. Very very happy to see my poems "The Tiger Fungus Roams" and "The Goddess of Creation Has a Nightmare" included in this issue. sfpoetry.org/wp/starline/... #poetry

Dear Peacock, I tuned in for the ice dance and men's final. I've already watched the women. Why are you redoing them? I hope you get your act together before Milan. #FigureSkating #PrevagenUSNationals #USFigureSkating

Stoked to be part of this!

Incredible! Saturday morning's sunrise -- ahead of the rain forecast this afternoon -- was a stunner. CWG's Kevin Ambrose caught this pair of fantastic shots. The adage seems prescient: Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. See more photos at cwg.live

So pleased to have my poem "Your Blood Holds So Many Smells" in this anthology. Available in print or Ebook. Universal link: books2read.com/u/4jd2jl #poetry #vampires #anthology

This one is important if you are taking Cyclobenzaprine (trade names: Flexeril, Amrix, Fexmid). Unichem mislabled certain lots of Meloxicam (an NSAID like ibuprofen) as cyclobenzaprine (a muscle relaxer). Read the FDA recall notice and/or call your pharmacy to be sure. #drugrecall #cyclobenzaprine

Strange New Worlds S3 Ep7 "What is Starfleet" is now on my list of best Trek eps ever. So. Frickin. Good. #startrek #strangenewworlds #extraordinarytelevision

I guess my fawn daycare, Leen's Noms & Naps, is open for business. These two's mom grabbed some dinner then went out for drinks with the girls. Fawns are confused--first day at daycare is always challenging. One is sleeping just outside fence, always gotta be a rebel. #deer #summerinvirginia #fawns

If you see this,post a vampire!

If you like limericks, then you need this book. It's coming out on the 22nd, but you can pre-order the print copy now & the Ebook will be available later. Here is the Amazon link, but you can also get it at B&N. a.co/d/137HMu0 Pleased to have quite a few pieces in this! #limericks #poetry #poets

@realtoddstashwick.bsky.social You've seen this, right?

What a read this is! It covers so many things while being heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching. I loved this book. If you like horror, read it! #horror #book

Just finished this and loved it so much! Do yourself a favor, especially if you like horror combined with ancient legends/fables (and/or snakes), and read this book! #books #fiction #horror #queerhorror

It's out! Because of course you would release an anthology about black cats on Friday the 13th! I'm super stoked to have my poem "Does That Familiar Come in Black?" included. geni.us/blackcattale... #catanthology #blackcat #blackcats #speculativefiction #speculativepoetry

The beds and patios were looking a little overgrown so I called on reinforcements to the regular lawn guys. Really like them and it's a female-owned company. #Deer #BackyardDeer #SpringInVirginia #SummerInVirginia #VirginiaDeer

Thrilled to have a poem in this!
