Ahhh I'm a Shirley Jackson Award Nominee!

We set the hot bar high but that’s a good thing! More hot=healthier scene. Be hot🖤☠️

All the hot editors allow simsubs. The really hot hotties don't think you should need permission at all. The absolute hottest bombshell kings? Here for the art, not for the power of enforcing obscure accounting on the daily lives of artists. Rest of y'all, you could be hotter. Just saying

This book cooks🖤☠️

Not every time you pick up an instrument is a concert, not every meal you cook is a formal dinner, not every story you write is supposed to be a performance, either. Most of the flavor is in the practice. Make a mess today

It's hard to explain why I'm so tied to music and sound, but part of it is my auditory-tactile synesthesia. It's apparently relatively uncommon! While some synesthesia is difficult to deal with, this one is (with exceptions) just a bonus feature. AMA if you have any questions about it, always!

Do you ever desperately want music, except none of the songs you're putting on are it? Like your brain is looking for one specific song but it wants you to *guess* which. I hate hate hate that itch. Give me album recs. Any genre, weird and dark and possibly angry

I may have had different musical focuses, but if my elbows don't stick to the table I feel like something is missing.

I got to read an early copy of this novella by @hazelzorn.bsky.social . Strange, weird. Disturbing but familiar. An oceanic nightmare. Definitely worth picking up/ pre-ordering from the inimitable Tenebrous Press!

Let's be honest here, for many of us, this is the first time the words "coral horror" enter the chat, and it's love at first sight

Preorder @hazelzorn.bsky.social's REEF MIND now!🪸🐚💀 One day, humanity's actions will lead to the seas taking over the land. ...What if that's by design? A haunting novella from "a new voice in Weird Horror worth keeping a close eye on” - @michaelwehunt.bsky.social store.tenebrouspress.com

There are people who (consciously or not) are driven to like what everyone else likes, and there are people who are driven to never like what everyone else likes, and never shall the twain understand each other

[deleting several "i" from the "hi" in this email so I sound a little less unhinged, still leaves at least three "i"] there. that's better

If you were waiting for my birthday to preorder, today’s the day! I am 41 and The Barre Incidents is soon to be born. Also you will get a very neat lil 4 panel comic with your preorder about the main character and her love interest which I’m very excited about.

It's officially hot enough to finish a run looking like a very shiny, very angry otter. This is how far out of the village I get. Hoping by the end of the year to be able to comfortably run to the next village over. I figure that's a practical goal in case of emergency!

Today I'm reminded for no reason of the time my mother was in Germany and wanted peanut butter. She texted me "how do you say peanut butter in German" and it's "erdnussbutter" but I... Forgot? And accidentally told her to ask for "einus butter". Anyway she said they didn't have any
