Ever wanted to see an elderly bisexual woman disembowel an imperialist soldier?

The Dreaming Dead is out now. It’s a queer, dark fantasy novel that follows a notorious bandit as a young adult and much older woman.

Wow almost forgot that Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 established that Godzilla had a second brain in his ass. Absolute art.

Well I barely slept last night and I’m still sick but I also look cute and get to hang out with my wife all day so really what else could I ask for

Remember buying a CD and it’d be wrapped in that plastic that was sort of a pain to open but then once it was off there was also a sticker sealing the case shut that you had to, like, peel off at a real specific angle to get it all in one go or it’d be a pain to remove?

Anyway I’m turning to dust.

Counterpoint: life is too short *not* to fight with your family.

If they don’t wanna fight they shoulda been cool.

Make a scene as an example to the whole extended family.

I genuinely cannot express how much better the editors on The Dreaming Dead made that book.

Maple Intersectionality Consulting did the sensitivity edit

Isabella Betita did the copy

Hilary Doda did the proofreading

Aaaaall of it was invaluable.

Shout out to editors.
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

I've been on an X-men bullshit run lately, and we really aught to have a modern X-men fighting game.

If this was most of the roster, who would you give the last 3 spots to?

Winners get drawn in!

Friday someone showed up to work sounding real raspy and today I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. This really didn’t need to happen.

I don’t want us relying more on AI for human connection because empathy and socialization is already at a cry for help. So many ppl don’t know how to talk to others in grief, depression, hardship, crisis as it is. Society as a whole is getting more awkward and afraid of human interaction

Every night I ask my wife if she wants me to cook dinner or help her cook and she never takes me up in either UNTIL tonight when she asked me to make dinner.

The time of my victory is now. My ancestors will smile upon me. No obstacle is too great to prevent my triumph.

Somebody told me that Cursed Body songs make them want to get drunk and throw cans at the TV and I am still laughing about that.

Found out this weekend that my dad needs open heart surgery for a life-threatening condition and insurance is only paying for 50%.
I'm trying to raise what I can to help him afford it. If you want to help donations are appreciated.

Reading Bonnie Quinn’s “How to Survive Camping” and it’s good so far. The last horror book I read was shockingly sterile and fully not scary so it’s kind of a relief this one is actually pretty creepy.

I say small but I would LOVE to see a cow or goat. A bear maybe. A vulture possibly. What a dream.
On one hand the unending horrors

On the other sometimes you see a small animal
