Hey Bob Iger, the people don’t want AI. They want a special edition blu-ray of the restored edition of Muppet Christmas Carol that is buried on Disney+.

Started my yearly rewatch of Over the Garden Wall. Gotta start getting those fall vibes in.

This autumn rat likes to dream while watching leaves drift along the lake 🍂

#art #cuteart #artyear #mammals #rattober #peachtober #blueskyartshow #relax
A digital drawing of a red sitting on a wooden bridge at the short of a lake. The rat is wearing a green jacket with yellow and green gingham sleeves and mushrooms stitched onto the pocket, a yellow scarf and brown pants with patches on them. Its feet are bare and one of them is barely dipping into the lake. next to the rat there are a cup filled with a dark brown liquid and a sketchbook with a pencil. yellow oak leaves swirling around the rat and resting in the lake - two of them boats for a barely discernable tiny brown bug and a similarly tiny red bug, floating towards each other.

It's September so, of course, I'm only now getting to that "Beach Read" prompt on my Summer Bucket List. I picked up One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware, and it's delivering on its doomed reality TV show premise so far.

Not too shabby of a reading week.
The covers for four books (Delicious in Dungeon Vol. 2, The Age of Magical Overthinking, Catalog of Unabashed Delights, and Lucky Day) sit against a dark background with the text "What I Read This Week" about them and illustrated book spines beneath.

My baking challenge this year is all about donuts, and May's is peanut butter donuts with chocolate icing.

Are you ready to follow Nancy Whitman back through her pomegranate-gate, into the Halls of the Dead?

Hope so.

Crossed another one off my Spring Bucket List by trying out a new walk with Henry. He definitely approved of the adventure.

Companion made me want to rewatch I'm Your Man. It's a WILDLY different take on the same topic, but I definitely loved it more (not just because of Dan Stevens).

Went to see Companion this morning, and Harvey Guillen and Lukas Gage absolutely stole the show.

Working through Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge is about the only way I can get myself to pick up a book at the moment. I'm rereading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM for the prompt "Reread a Childhood Favorite." I was *a little* obsessed with mice books as a kid. #booksky
A paperback copy of Mrs. Frisby stands on a white shelf. There is a bright pink pompom in front.

Folks.

I am still telling jokes on the internet like a doofus. I want to explain why I am telling jokes like a doofus when people, especially marginalized people but also everyone else, are being slowly pulled apart by the most ghastly people imaginable.

The answer is, for my mental health.

Oh, hi there! It's cover reveal day for Brigands & Breadknives, with art yet again by the amazing @emberwickart.bsky.social-
I love it so ❤️
Coming Nov 11 '25 from @torbooks.bsky.social-
Cover for Brigands & Breadknives, depicting a campfire scene with an elven adventurer, a rattkin writing letters in the back of a wagon, surprised by a goblin in a patchwork coat brandishing a breadknife, with a demon chicken on their head. Okay, so it's hard to describe.
