Any unsolicited email that includes something like "I’m part of a private readers community about 2000+ active readers and social media reviewers. We’re not some forced review for hire thing. We just spotlight books that actually deserve to be seen, and yours hit that nerve." is a scam. I'm sorry.

Today's mood in a nutshell.

David Flor @brainclouds.net · 1d

Wake up to news that "the asshole is dead" and spent 5 minutes trying to find out which specific asshole they're talking about, then get upset because it's not the specific asshole I wanted dead.

I started crocheting a blanket for my father yesterday. He wanted ridiculously cheap acrylic. Like $4/ball cheap.

Which is like... I have paid more for a single skein of yarn than I did for an entire blanket's worth of scratchy acrylic for this man. But he picked it out! That's what he wanted! 😭

Hey folks. Been reading Mi'Sel Joe's memoir the last few days.

This one's must-read for Newfoundlanders especially, because it's a memoir that was taken orally of the longtime Mi'kmaq chief of Miawpukek First Nation (Conne River).

It's very down-to-earth & brings it all home for me.

Imagine being wealthy and not building libraries.

Embarrassing.

Hooray.

My 200th book was Truth Telling by Michelle Good. Highly recommend, especially for Canadians who take their Indigenous anti-racism seriously. Be prepared to feel uncomfortable, and to sit with some seriously ugly truth.

This is what decision paralysis looks like when you're me.

Yes, thank you, please inform the orange I love them 💕

I'm gonna stay in my room reading and avoid the loud relatives coming to visit.

Lemme tell you, perimenopause, PMDD, AND ADHD your GP refuses to assess you for... Hellish combination.

Unless you've got four legs, fur, and a tail, leave me alone. It's not that hard, I promise.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Tormented Nexus as a cautionary tale

Social Media CTO: "Don't Create The Torment Nexus" is actually a metaphor for how mean people are to me for wanting to implement the Torment Nexus

Paul Frazee @pfrazee.com · 5d

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

During tonight’s Trick-or-Treating, our 3-year-old got more and more excited.

“More houses! More candy!”

Until he suddenly looked to the sky and shouted (verbatim):

“Can I eat the moon!?”

Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, little one. Be the cosmic horror you want to see in the world.

I was just laid off for the second time this year. It's going to be a hard fall and winter. My safety net, as is the case for too many of us especially these days, is the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers. Anything helps.

Wait, I think I need to change my gender to birch beer Crush.

GDI HAL-CON SOCIAL MEDIA PERSON, I don't need to start questioning this again! 😂😂😂

From now on I am describing myself as Coca-Cola presenting. 🤭

Gender: soft drink
Presentation: Coke Classic

You just know when you’re neck deep in panels, or cruising the vendor floor, you’re gonna get parched, so make sure to seek out our main presenter for a cool refreshing pick me up*!

*Dasani is a Coke product too, stay hydrated!

The creature is being temporarily moved to a new enclosure for both environmental enrichment and canine companionship, and is greatly enjoying the novelty of being transported.

...I gotta go dogsit for a bit & Dad's driving, which is nice 'cause the hour+ drive to their place is a bitch by myself.

Anyways also saying happy Halloween specifically to my fellow monsterfuckers

Pumpkinhead? Yes. Xenomorph? Yes. Yautja? Yes. Species mommy in her full alien form? Childhood sexual awakening.

I think folks weirded out by the thought of fucking xenos a) didn't watch the same move I did because xenos fucking characters is the medium in which the point of the movie is made and b) missed the entire not-even-subtext-but-blatently-in-your-face-(literally) design of Geiger's ENTIRE catalogue.
