My cat can see straight into your soul, hope that’s okay.

Every concert is an absolute revelation. People getting together to listen to other people making music they love is peak humanity.

If you watch any of the β€œTillyverse,” I have no respect for you. Which is fine, because if you watch any of the β€œTillyverse,” you have no respect for yourself either.

Just finished reading Split Scream:: Cursed Places, an upcoming release from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social πŸ–€ I enjoyed both novelettes immensely! @sonorataylor.bsky.social and @matthewtpritt.bsky.social novelettes are so eerily dreadful but also very beautiful.

@matthewtpritt.bsky.social has a novelette in this collection that put my jaw on the floor.

He writes subtle, elegant stories filled with pathos and a deep undercurrent of dread.

You want visit his cursed place.

I really like working in a bakery. I've learned a lot of stuff to make my home baking better, I genuinely like my coworkers, I enjoy making food and feeding people, and I always come home smelling very nice.

It would be cool if any of the people shaping modern society weren’t obvious sociopaths

Me: buys a new mattress for the first time in ten years

My targeted ads immediately after: you really seem like someone who loves buying mattresses! Want another one? Maybe two more? Twenty? It’s like your favorite thing! You’re pretty much the mattress guy!

β€œJust think of all the cool things AI will be able to do!”

Okay dude, let me know if anyone in charge of developing it ever starts doing a single cool thing with any of it.

I had a coworker tell me I β€œhad the vibe of someone who knows how to can food,” and I guess I’ll take that as a compliment. Also, she’s not wrong.

I love this anthology! I have a story about football and CTE in here that’s the most heartbreaking thing I’ve written, and the rest of the collection is full of fantastic stories

I'm composing sheet music for the first time in many years. It's what my college degree is in, and I've let myself get very rusty, but it's also fun to relearn it. I probably won't do it again for a while after this project, but it's still cool to brush up on that skill.
