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.

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

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

When the remake transcends the original, I think it's OK to bring it up. 🙄

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · Jul 27

You've seen a doctor for that, right?

I watched it and I enjoyed it, and laughed a lot, but I had to tell myself it wasn't really Murderbot because the books are so much better. So this is my other friend Murderbot lol. As long as I don't try to make them be the same thing, I can have two of them in my life. 😉

Although to be fair, I don't see a lot of the west/southwest/PNW represented here. Either this is a weirdly red tour or they haven't added dates for the western states other than Idaho.

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · Jul 6

No and I don't get it. 🤔 Here is the schedule from their site. Maybe they will add dates (and you can request a city on this page). styxworld.com/pages/tour

Light it up, let’s get this show on the road! Come on in and see what’s happening with a magical band of musical craftsmen on a holy Mission to make sweet, sweet sounds in the air night after night.

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

I echoed all your comments. Yes, those count! The problem with moving the goalpost is you never have to succeed or fail. And if you are inclined to self-flagellation rather than celebration, it enables that headspace. Is there no joy in writing for Eric? 😣 Joy is crucial--especially right now.

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · Jun 27

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

Gerri Leen @gerrileen.bsky.social · Jun 15

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

Sometimes taking a writing hiatus is the healthiest thing you can do for your writing, not just for yourself. Refill your creative reservoirs in other ways & deal with the things you need to deal with. I have always found that writing will be waiting like a faithful friend at the end of the break.

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

Update: Vampires Save the (Day) Night
