Someone’s bio was “Here to meet normal people - normal people only.” And I just want to be clear, I will take all the abnormals you don’t want. Send them my way please. Send me your tired, your hungry, your weird and perverted, your dorks, your geeks, your freaks and nerds.

Pink Zombie Rose at the top of the list - the reviewer liked it but recommends the print version for optimal experience.

Not for everyone haha. 😇 On the bright side, there’s usually a next day message from a listener who has bought the book, added it to their TBR or requested it from their library.

Was late to tonight’s live with an escape artist dog. Ruckus allowed a fly to come inside and join the live. That 1st chapter has ship shaped right on up. One listener blocked after, def not the fly’s fault. 🤣 Maybe one for every live reading blocks afterwards. 📖

I must admit to not being up on my Venezuelan politics. My Dad used to love the country and disappear there for months at a time and take all my sibs but I was in college and never got to go. Then when I was able, the fun was done.

It’s officially Caturday: An unflattering, poorly composed old skool pre selfie throwback to blue violet hair & rhinestone cat mask, purchased on clearance from my friendly neighborhood porn store. 😆 Except that I used to wear this around to see bands and shit. Also my photographer’s finger.

It’s a brilliant way to combat the narrative that the left is violent and dangerous. Also, to some degree, it’s protective because it’s not a good look - cops beating a giant unicorn. 🦄
