I am struggling to understand what it means to be 62 year old dude. I feel like the quality and texture of hope and expectation needs to change in significant way. Like: yeah, you're not going to get things that you thought you might get. I want to adjust my attitude about this, seriously.

Do I want to go see "The Social Reckoning?"

Looking for a good example of a party/funeral/wedding scene that introduces a lot of characters from omniscient POV. Suggestions?

What do i love this so much??

Look, you guys! I found a leaf skeleton!

Getting ready to talk with Kyle Winkler about his amazing new book THE SHIP OF DEATH! 2nite at Loganberry Books in Cleveland! @bleakhousing.bsky.social

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

If you were a bot would you tell me that you were a bot?

I feel like it's important to have daily contact with non-humans. Dogs, yes, cats, yes, but also plants--especially catci--urns or whatever, the glass on windows. Be aware of the furniture you're sitting in. Make a note of the things you touch, and how it feels to touch them.

As a resident of Cleveland, I'd like to apologize

Idea!

There are a lot of ways to be online, but I am convinced that this is the way we should cultivate and cherish. Being earnest and open to positivity is an active practice that enriches all of our lives.

Hate to admit it, but crafting an online persona that errs on the sides of positivity, hope, and (self) compassion has really moved the needle on shifting my real mindsets towards positivity, hope, and (self) compassion.

Hard to believe, but THE SHIP OF DEATH comes out in one week. Please pre-order or pick it up when it comes out! If any long-time readers of mine need a reason to buy, Tess from THE NOTHING THAT IS and TONE-BONE has a large part to play in the book...

How much longer?

I started watching DTF ST LOUIS (b/c Emmy-curious) and I'm feeling that the tone is slightly gamey and off for me.

🎉🥳🎉

Thanks for reminder, Nicole!

Is officially that time: flu and covid vaccine day. If you're able, go get 'em both. Protect yourself, protect those around you who can't get vaxxes for health reasons... & protect the fools who refuse to get them. #vaxmeup

👻In this four-week reading group with author @danchaon.bsky.social, students will read and discuss classic and contemporary ghost stories. This online class is meant for both readers and writers looking for a hauntingly fun time! For details & reading list visit: bit.ly/472i701

Name your favorite comedic/light-hearted scene in a Christopher Nolan film:

If you're going to be in Cleveland on September 30, why not join me and Kyle Winkler for the launch of his delightful, hilarious and terrifying new novel?

Also, book launch info for THE SHIP OF DEATH if you're in the NE Ohio or Cleveland area. Me and @danchaon.bsky.social are going to jaw about writing/horror/whatnot. C'mon out to Loganberry Books.

I would like to know who calls a tail light a "taillamp" and spells it as all one word? WHO???!?!?!

Just a reminder that I'm teaching a Ghost Story class in October. Let us raise our candlesticks and creep down the stairs to investigate! one-story.com/product/thir...

Just saw Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and really loved it. There’s a breezy joyfulness like a pleasant shroom trip—and Gillian Anderson photographs welll

This is great, @jpinckney.bsky.social! So many fantastic booksellers weighing in here.

Josh Cook@joshthelibromancer.bsky.social · last mo.

Must read from @jpinckney.bsky.social It's focus is bookselling in the face of the "end of reading" but I think it points towards many different pathways out of our current omnicrisis
