Playoff baseball would be so much better without people. We missed half the game thanks to people going up and down, in and out, back and forth.

Sit your ass down and wait for a break in play. Seriously.

Inconsiderate people blocking the view of a baseball game

A pale-skinned woman in slingback heels wearing a short, ruched black dress stands with one foot lifted high. There is a billowing red scarf in the background. These stories are longer and have a bit more plot.

A pale-skinned woman in bare feet wearing a black mesh leotard stands with one foot slightly lifted. There is a billowing blue scarf in the caramel-colored background. She has black straps around her thighs for aesthetic purposes. These stories are shorter and hotter.

Wishing a very happy birthday to Clive Barker, the man who taught me that words have magic and that our passions are no less valid for their darkness.

27C and full sun on an October afternoon. Dome open and Gausman on the mound. Playoff excitement, drama, tension, and more excitement.

It all adds up to a 10-1 Blue Jays victory and an epic date night with Goddess! 😎

Gig of the Damned by @splatterzaddy.bsky.social

Phrique understood the assignment. This book is not just a slasher with drag queens. Gig of the Damned is a genuine Drag Queen Slasher. The cover art captures the vibe perfectly.
