Oh hey y’all guess what I have a new book coming out in March 2025 & you can pre-order it if you want! You can do so from anywhere, I recommend your local indie, but meanwhile here’s Macmillan’s link us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

It’s sad to see that people can’t even engage news about Gaza — thousands of civilians fleeing for their lives from bombs we paid for TODAY — without loudly replying “WELL, I’M STILL VOTING FOR BIDEN.” Ok? I didn’t ask you; the ask if anything was for your humanity. Y’all post like campaign bots.

We! Never! Stopped! Getting! COVID!!!! What the actual SHIT is this headline?????? There has never been a time, in the last 4.5 godforsaken years, when we didn't have people getting COVID!!!
A seasonal wave of #Covid is sweeping across the U.S., driven by the FLiRT variants, a trio of the latest #SARSCoV2 mutants making the rounds. So no, it's not your imagination. People are getting Covid again www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
Yep, people are getting COVID againwww.seattletimes.com A seasonal COVID-19 wave appears to be underway with cases growing or likely growing in 39 states.

Just had a big "Ah-ha!" moment with the TTRPG I've been tinkering with for years. One of those moments where the rubber meets the road, when the mechanics find a way to really meld with the dice system. Very excited to see what this will do to the game!

@mcflycahill90.bsky.social says The Siege of Burning Grass "deserves to be on every Best Of list that will sprout up towards the end of the year." But what else does this science fiction rumination on war, nationalism, and revolution offer? Check out the review here! reactormag.com/book-review-...

Aw, yeah it's nice to have a friend until that friend remembers they're in a Fromsoft game & either decide you need to die o spiral into sadness/madness/both. My exploration revealed to me a boss I can't beat yet, so time for, you guessed it, more exploring! Hashtag Save Me Scadutree Fragments!

Haha oh yes, it is WILDLY inappropriate

Ha, I too got caught in that moment; oh Fromsoft, never change. Ghostflames are so cool!! My journey is going well! In exploration mode for now, but having a blast. Hilarious moments like bludgeoned to death by blue worm friends, then bittersweetness of bringing comfort to the undead & forgotten.
