Being sick is actually such bullshit. I sit around till I feel better, then I get up to do some stuff and I get dizzy and have to sit down again. Wtf.

My short horror story "We've Got A Thing About Fruit" is out today in Ogerog Annual's first issue! www.amazon.com/dp/B0HBRCLSHP

being old and chronically ill just means being completely fucking exhausted for roughly 78% of your life

Were driving behind a car covered in Star Wars and Pride flag stickers today, one of them said: "keep the immigrants, deport the racists", and my wife and I exploded at the same time: Don't deport anybody! Should we just deport the "bad ones"? It's the verb that matters, not the noun! Sigh.

Have you sent in your smut yet? 👀 NYGEL is open until ✨️July 10✨️ for explicit, speculative, monster erotica that you think is too weird to get published—we want it unique and we want it HOT! 🐙🌈💦👽 www.nygelmag.com

Yesterday, my co-author @thepaintedlion.bsky.social received cash from a book seller in exchange for books. We've sold over 1000 copies, but this physical interaction -- we give you the book we wrote, you give us dollar bills-- was a first. Felt different.

✨️Clean sheets. Full fridge. Good books to read.✨️
