Fuck it, Halloween starts right now and runs through February 15th. You're welcome.

These cat wrestling scrapping videos are hilarious "his name is John Cena" 😂😂😂😂😺
I'm so glad the James Talarico campaign is releasing new pics of him with 5 o'clock shadow. Makes it so he doesn't look like a 12 year old... Ken Paxton, on the other hand, looks like he been aged for 12 years in an oak barrel.
QRP with your most popular piece on bsky 💕 Honestly, I still don’t understand why this drawing of Ruby got so much attention 👁️ It's not that I'm against it, just interesting XD

Woo!!! Swords and Sorcery Magazine just published the omnibus review I wrote for the four @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social novellas (and one novelette!) that @obrackenbury.bsky.social is releasing this year. Head on over, and have a look! (spoiler: I loved them all)

Nope. Can't. Feeding the two wolves inside of me. (they like nachos)
Giving Up The Ghost. Just finished this short story by @swankmotron.com about the formation of the Ghost Dogs, a former Kell Hounds Company. Really enjoyable and great look into the logistical nightmare of a new merc company. Discovered thanks to @bigred40tech.bsky.social and their YouTube review.
were you aware of the amount of valuable copper and gold contained in a flock camera?
chat can anyone verify that every single Flock camera has about 2-3 Ibs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold
...seriously.. dafuq? Two totally different species of "cat" in totally different biomes. Top is a jaguarundi (longer neck, darker fur, no swoop to the spine), bottom is indeed a puma, though where? I hate this kind of shit, and then people in the comments calling both maneaters... ignorant AF.
the cranky xennnial nerd demographic is over-represented on bluesky lol
Somehow have curated a timeline where when a mutual posts “MTG,” it’s equally probable that they’re referring to Marjorie Taylor Greene or Magic: The Gathering.
Defence Department testing sharks as pilots for experimental aircraft (F1EA, 'flea'). Sharks go rogue, attack airliners and Goodyear blimps over New York. Maverick called out of retirement as only pilot good enough to fight them. TOP GUN III: Sharks Vs Jets
let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
The big changes over the weekend: I’m off of pain meds; the dizziness is almost entirely gone; and I’m sleeping through nights again. I’m also drawing once more -
Very well. I think we turned a corner last weekend…and I didn’t fall down while doing so!
What's that now? A postcard from Cross Plains, TX, birthplace of good ole Robert E. Howard hisself??? Thank you @geoliminal.bsky.social for your lovely card from Howard Days (and a great choice of story)!
Give a man two wolves and he'll reskeet format jokes, teach a man about two wolves and he'll probably skeet something about buttholes and cilantro
Exfiltration I love this piece and decided to do a bit of touch up on it while recharging my brain cells for the playing card project. Two members of the Endless Legion in Dragoon Warframes getting extracted after a mission. #artup #art #digitalart #procreate #scifi #scifiart #spaceship
'I have come to the conclusion that, while not just anything can be Sword & Sorcery, Sword & Sorcery can be anything. There could be no more varied a collection of stories—varied in tone, in setting, in protagonist, in subject—yet all easily fit within the brawny, welcoming arms of the sacred genre'
