Q5: What can we, the Weeknight Writers community, do in the next week to make your life a little more pleasant? #WeeknightWriters

What I’ve learned from the trolley problem is that people getting hit by trolleys must have been a pretty big problem back in the day.

It has been way too long since I’ve been to Galaxy Hut.

Two of our other beasties. Lotus is the gray and white cat sitting on the chair behind Abby, our adorable little calico newcomer. Lotus is already her favorite brother. #caturday

I think a fairy ring is growing right by our house. This makes me happy.

"Okay, your first mistake here is not letting the fire die out before putting the meat on the grill, but I honestly think your main issue is that you put a bear in charge of making the food."

“Hey, Lotus, that cute new girl is stealing all our attention. Do something funny!” #caturday

My late mom's house sold this week. It's weird that something that's such a relief can also feel incredibly sad.

Me!

It's moving up the charts! Thank you! If you haven't snapped up the ebook of FIEND yet for $1.99, what are you waiting for? www.amazon.com/Fiend-Alma-K...

I’m seeing a lot of debut horror novelists cross my timeline. I love it! If this is your first novel ever, remember to submit it to the Stoker Awards for consideration for First Novel. www.thebramstokerawards.com/submissions/

My carer is sick and delirious, and unable to take care of me until she recovers. This has left me in serious difficulty trying to look after her and take care of myself alone. It’s humiliating to rattle the tin again but please could a kind soul help ease the burden? 🏳️‍⚧️♿️🏳️‍🌈 paypal.me/StuffOfMemes

I’ve been sans carer for three days in a row and I just want to die, the heat and the poverty and the disability, all I can be in that is lonely and stuck

I got to read this book for a blurb several months ago and just got my copy from Sourcebooks today. Congrats on the wonderful debut, @slhawthorn.bsky.social!

uh... crap, so my car needs repairs (i.e. the backend is about to fall off) 😬 😭 so I guess now is a good time to buy my books??? 📚 (they are cat-approved & very queer) (Crouton is offering emotional support, and his eyes are about as big as mine at the estimates 😨) ko-fi.com/mercwolfmoor...

The beauty of sports is you can just decide at any point “I give a shit about this now. Against all reason.” Ten minutes later you hate one of the teams more than life and it’s all downhill from there.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a massive help. Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

#caturday Actually this is misleading. Simon is way more scared of Abby than she is of him.

Hmm. The summer camp novel I'm working on is set partly in 1993. This will be fun and also research!
