Not an unfounded worry. Bodies are weird and the stress of living in “interesting times” can team up with aging/various health maladies to form Random Ouch Voltron to remind us of that. But also: stay healthy and vigilant, John. We need you around a long, long time.

My last day at work is next Wednesday and I just discovered I have Monday off. I feel like a teenager counting down to summer and summer is giving me an extra sneak peak.

1) hope you’re okay and it is something worth keeping an eye on and/or seeking medical advice for and 2) my body just injures itself sometimes now because I have lived beyond my medieval peasant life expectancy and a PRICE MUST BE PAID. Used to alarm me much more.

You know, having an abnormally keen sense of smell is a real liability when the most pungent lotion and perfume cohort comes into the office. I respect most personal grooming choices, but I am considerably less tolerant of the overwhelming smell of radioactive headache peaches.

I specifically told Joe I was waiting for this list last time I saw him and he doesn’t disappoint. I am always excited to see unexpected gems every day in October!

It’s October! Time for 31 days of horror recommendations. In the past I’ve just done movies, but this year I’m branching out. Movies, books, video games, any kind of horror media. Not everything on this list will be good, but I’m confident that everything will be interesting.

Courtney was the first of our @viableparadise.bsky.social class (not already represented) to sign with an agent, sell her book and see it released almost exactly 3 years later. She is our vanguard and we march at her back, cheering and inspired. God willing and the creek don’t rise, see you soon.🪼🤘
