To the tune of Eleanor Rigby:

Massive iguana
Makinge a fuss on the beach
At great scale
But then caughte --
Who woulde have thoughte?

‘He’s a big boy:’ Massive iguana arrested in Daytona Beach, video shows

A large iguana was thrown in the back of a patrol car in a strange encounter with Daytona Beach officers, according to the police department.

If you horror readers and writers would prefer a more conversational explanation about how the Stokers work, @sadiehartmann.bsky.social's 2022 interview with @mothman13.bsky.social still largely applies. Check current rules before recommending or submitting, of course. litreactor.com/interviews/e...

is my debut selling well? I’m told it’s steady. obvious joke aside, I’m thrilled to see the ratings and review numbers this far on Goodreads. “..stands out as the most original ghost story I’ve ever enjoyed…” -GRR / WTDCD is the spooky season book you didn’t know you needed. Thx @gabino.bsky.social

🇺🇸 🗽 ☕️ Starbucks closed just over 2% of USA locations; 8.5% were in New York.
More than 1/2 were in the 5 boroughs.
Landlords fumed.
Unionized workers claimed retaliation.

‘Who Died?’ ‘It’s the Starbucks.’

As locations close across the city, an outpouring of grief from tweens, crossword types, and other Frappuccino diehards.
