Many years ago--I was at my day job when I saw it, and I am Old, so that was not recently--I saw a webcomic where the punchline was "The sun is a spider. One day she will eat us." This delighted me. I just went looking for it so I could show…

If I woke up tomorrow with JKR-level money, or hell, Stephen King-level money, I wouldn't announce it, but there would be signs*. (*The signs would be me paying the Buy It Now for every G1 My Little Pony on eBay.)

Having grown up with no money, I truly love money. Money makes the world easier. Money feeds my cats, and their welfare matters more than my own. But these people pursue money to the "could never spend it" degree, and Liana's right: that's an addiction.…

For every autistic person who never writes a poem, there will be one who writes six hundred sonnets just because they can, and also an allistic person who never writes a poem. I love poetry. It does not define a person's worth. [contains quote post or…

Another day, another book. THE PROPER THING is my second short story collection, released by @subpress.bsky.social in 2024. @carlaspeedmcneil.bsky.social did the cover and the interior illustrations, which makes me positively giddy with joy.

Yesterday was D&D! We were participating in a challenge called "the Mythic Melee", which was basically an excuse for our GM to break out the biggest minis they could find. The ones where "mini" becomes a little inaccurate.

I grew up involuntarily semi-nomadic (Dad's side of the family runs carnivals, Mom was real good at getting evicted, so we just went from apartment to apartment constantly), and that tends to go one of two days when you hit adulthood.

Realized last night that I am older than Stephen King was when he appeared in "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verril." (Also only discovered that the name was a play on a Johnny Cash song about racism. Last night was a big night for learning things.)
