Really cool they mentioned @kojiadae.bsky.social 's review, too! reactormag.com/cant-miss-in... @tenebrouspress.bsky.social Jack in. Bliss out.

Purchased this book from my local indie book store, in partnership with the author.

Had a great time at @fokusphoto.bsky.social at their studio getting some photos of some of my paintings done. Look for prints of these and other pieces at my table at Sparta Metal Fest on 8-22 and One Of US Midwest Horror Book Fair on 9-5, and of course @voidcon.bsky.social in November.

Firmly into the companion teela era of #doctorwho and the writers really are leaning into making the doctor gaslight and speak dismissively towards her. At least in the newer audio productions her character gets to wear clothes of her choice, and be treated as a whole person

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

ARC REVIEW: Caleb Bethea's FEVER CLOWNS

the looming buffoonery of Bethea's book promises a barrel of laughs. Laughter masks terror and excruciating pain.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.
