Some bastard emptied the food dish, and Cashel would like me to reimburse him.

We both know the food is all stashed in the usual corner, but I'm gonna refill the dish anyway. #rats #petRats

Mezzo might be elderly and missing an eye, but he still fulfills his daily duties of finger inspection and accepting ear rubs. #rats #petRats

My new personal tag line has just presented itself.
Panel of an old comic, captioned "Satan is sprawled at ease in his macabre den." Satan says, "I have rested well. My evil powers are refreshed and strong!"

Cashel says it's a great day to curl up in a ball and nap, but always keep an ear out for trouble and do try to find a hammock that's about the same color as your fur so they can't see you. #petRats #rats

apparently I've been saving DC power supplies for many years. Decades. Surely I already own the one I need!

I need a 9v 1a DC power adapter for my label printer.

Have I achieved Nerdvana? Do I already have such a power supply?

2026 #Writing Plan: connect keyboard to bluetooth shock collar.

Any time I drop below 25 words a minute (1500 wph), issue a shock.

Four hours until I can shut up about the Wee Beasties Storybundle. Fourteen books about, you guessed it, wee beasties.

Tiny critters. Big struggles.

In four hours, my book disappears forever. No, I won't release it elsewhere. This is it.

Hey! I got a fan song!

If you want to know what they're a fan of, today is the last day to get the Wee Beasties bundle. My "Beastly Virtues" is only in this bundle, and disappears forever with the bundle.

Part of the proceeds benefit World Central Kitchen.

The universe is huge, and we're all tiny.

The Wee Beasties Bundle vanishes in three days. My book in here vanishes with it. FOREVER.

Lots of great reading here, full of drama and hope and struggle.

Coming to my shop tomorrow, with luck: two Christmas stories. Mostly a gift for my Patronizers, but I have zero shame and'll take anyone's money.

Cashel, trying to decide which of his solutions to Hilbert's scissor congruence of polyhedra of equal volumes is most elegant.

He won't bother to publish. It's enough that he knows. #petRats #rats

The Wee Beasties Bundle! A heap of books about wee beasties not only at a discount, but supporting World Central Kitchen.

Better grab it before some wee beastie runs up your pant leg.
