me when I promise myself I will avoid the news
Tiny Chef, a small, round, pale green character, sits in his cosy bed in his tree stump apartment, clad in yellow pajamas with an adorable matching sleep bonnet. The wall behind the bed is decorated with buttons of various sizes and colours. Scatttered on the floor are empty pizza boxes, a wooden paddle ball, and a discarded rainbow striped apron. His pet snail is finishing off a bit of leftover pizza, and his kiwi bird Mr. Crispin sits atop a stack of empty pizza boxes. Tiny Chef is holding a pink phone, and the caption above reads: back to scrolling!

Closing time, open all the doors
And let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on
Over every boy and every girl

Share a ‘90’s movie you think deserves more love.

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

The three spirits:
Three of the fiercest queens from RuPaul's Drag Race UK, photographed looking directly to camera: A’Whora, with a platinum blonde updo and icy blue eye makeup to match her incredible frock Tayce, in cascading black hair, wearing a white gown festooned with feathers and beads Joe Black, clad in black leather with a matching chapeau, with epic red lips

Wilma Flintstone, a cartoon character with red hair, wearing a white dress with a white choker necklace, holds her horn-shaped telephone to her ear. She looks peeved. Helena Bonham Carter as Marla Singer in Fight Club. She has a spiral phone cord wrapped around her neck like a choker necklace, and holds the receiver of a landline telephone to her ear. She looks intrigued.

I'm pretty much just blocking anyone I see do the ol' "people who pirate books/movies can't afford to buy them" tango, but for the love of all that is good, I must reiterate that that situation is what THE LIBRARY is for!

I've got another episode of The Order of Things, where teams compete to rank trivia lists in the right order. This one has questions about Hated Thanksgiving Sides, Carmen Sandiego, and more!

This Wednesday, I'll be releasing my episode on A Christmas Carol 1984 with George C. Scott, one of the most iconc versons of the story.

Also this week, I'll be releasing a Patreon-exclusive episode about the Family Ties episode A Keaton Family Christmas.

Ugh, I didn't know about this one. Of course it has all my books. Not only is that money I could use, but every sale helps those of us hanging on in the midlist keep publishing at all. Love to see hundreds of downloads on series that people complain haven't continued with more books. Yeah guess why.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

You think LLM-based chatbots can help students learn? Think again.

Take a few minutes to listen to Dr. @drtanksley.bsky.social clear explanation why this is very bad, harmful idea, especially for Black students.

Looking through the photos I took on my recent Mediterranean adventure, and this one taken in Valetta, Malta feels especially poignant

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're on the bridge of the USS Enterprise D (USS Ed) Data is sitting at his console station down left in that laid back chair. He looks animated with bright excited eyes and a slight smile and he's gesturing with his (androidey) hands. Closed caption reads, "Take my Worf, please."
