Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t let anyone ever disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Are you an indie author looking for a colourful, pulpy, hand-drawn book cover made by a human bean such as I? Like these below? Hit me up, I have slots for March! I work fast and am reasonably priced. Traditional mediums like watercolour, acrylic, ink, or digital gemmaamorauthor.com/illustration...

support libraries. support local bookstores. read all the books (especially the ones they tell you not to).

What was your earliest intro to horror? The Monster Squad was almost certainly mine. I would have first seen this in the 80's, before I'd stumbled across Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and long before Goosebumps even existed. Anyone else?

It's a slushy mess outside (in more ways than one) so we're gonna huddle inside and introduce the kids to The Fellowship of the Ring (extended edition). This is the way.

I don't understand why people are still using X. If you are worried about losing an established network audience, some real numbers: I had 30K+ followers there and I have 13K here--the engagement is the same, if not better, here. Re-build. You don't *need* anything Muskrat's empire offers.

Giving you full permission to judge my book by its cover (it's just as good inside).

Happy Friday! Watch a good movie. Read a good book. Eat something you enjoy. You did it. Congratulate yourself for getting to the weekend.

Buoygeist's been gettin' a lot of love lately, but I just rediscovered this wonderful review of Odious Ghouls from the amazing @brennanlafaro.bsky.social and realized I'd never shared it. Sums up this nightmare pretty well, I'd say 👇 a.co/d/bFVRsc8
