What do you do when you're on hold with your stupid insurance copy trying to get them to fix a problem with your kid's ADHD medication so he can go back to school? I play Honeycomb Hotel! 😑 #adhd #neurodivergent

Do I know any actual rocket scientists? Particularly anyone who knows about bringing large masses down through reentry? I've got an imaginary engineering problem I need to crack.

That's one of the reasons the right pisses me off. Have you seen other cultures' snacks and desserts?? We could be eating all of that! But nooooo. We have to hate other people cause they look different and now they won't share their goodies with us (for good reason). >:|

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

#inktoberday16 is blunder. And today's advice is: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

#inktoberday15 is ragged. Our rights are important and meant for everyone. The paper they are on might be old, ragged, and faded, but what they stand for will never die out as long as we stand together to protect them. 🇺🇲

All mythological beasts, monsters, and cryptids turn out to be real. Which country/area of the world would you NOT want to live in? I think mine would weirdly be Appalachia. Those old forest covered mountains certainly inspired some horrific things that go bump in the night! 😮

Since the article itself is paywalled... my new novel is called THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS, which @losbennett.bsky.social sold to @titanbooks.bsky.social earlier this year. It's a fantasy adventure in a queer-normative world featuring fractured futures, sapphic romance, and giant wasps.

Had an actual fever dream (I'm sick) and Dream Me discovered a massive cover up I could turn into a book: An author went to a fantasy world and just wrote what they saw then pretended they made it up! :o And it wasn't a made up author, it was Terry Brooks. So Mr. Brooks, I guess the jig is up. XD

Cover for Magic Kingdom For Sale--SOLD! by Terry Brooks with the word Exposed written across it in red.
