My story, Rat King, is included in this collection! Go pick up a copy to support Scares That Care.

My poster, which features an unflattering marker rendering of Trump saying "Die for my stupid fucking war." Chaplin, a small tuxedo cat with white mittens, is stretching in a Superman-in-flight position on top of it, paws out.

Update on the fate of yesterday's #nokings sign.

Inspired by the classic "I want YOU" Uncle Sam posters. This one is an orange Trump in a blue suit and a red tie. He wears a red baseball cap that says 'dunce'. He's angrily pointing at you. The text says: "DIE FOR MY STUPID FUCKING WAR."

This was my sign today. #nokings

Oh the irony of being absolutely furious at how hard it is to skip an ad for a meditation app.

If I ever send a text meant for my sister to someone else, it will ruin my life.

WE SEE NANCY’S FACE AND SHE LOOKS VERY HAPPY NANCY WISHES YOU A HAPPY FRIDAY

NANCY WISHES YOU
A HAPPY FRIDAY

I've read it twice. It's a wonderful character study. They're all hideous, but in fascinating ways. I normally don't like media that is all about people behaving antisocially, but I *love* Wuthering Heights.

It's ✨ meeeeee! ✨

🎶 So if you care to find me, look to 🎶... 4th place. So psyched to be part of the anthology, and I had a ton of fun participating in this competition.

Positively itching to read the rest of these stories-- some of these titles have piqued my curiosity.

AAAAAND 10) Mulled Wine from 1845 & A Christmas Cooking Marathon [Tasting History with Max Miller]

6) I Emailed My Doctor 133 Times... [PhilosophyTube]
7) Rockstar Couple Andy Black and Lilith Czar... [Allison Hagendorf Show]
8) Fancy vs Fast vs Frozen Food Marathon [Good Mythical Morning]
9) Magical Tearoom ASMR Ambience [Miracle Forest] (8hrs; I'm counting it cuz I make & break the rules here)

In no particular order:
1) Disney Channel Theme: A History Mystery [Defunctland]
2) Disney's Fastpass: A Complicated History [Defunctland]
3) The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel [Jenny Nicholson]
4) Envy [Contrapoints]
5) Cringe [Contrapoints]

Hideous that I think I can actually make this list.

Important: Frankenstinesque or Frankenstinian (pronounced like 'Justinian')? 💙📚 #amwriting

The ambience in question, for anyone trying to facilitate a similar experience. I suspect that a large part of the necessary conditions is having this weird brain, but I'd love to bring you here with me!!!

So I am re-reading Wuthering Heights, and something about the ambience I have been listening to has caused me to visualize the story playing out as a cartoon in the visual style of Courage the Cowardly Dog.

It is AWESOME. I wish I had any of the skills required to make it real. 💙📚 #booksky

Yes, I have no issue with masks. I wear one at work because I am around about a thousand different kids every week and got tired of constant colds. But I also walk around with an ID on a lanyard that includes my full name and a photo. My mask isn't a form of hiding to duck accountability.

A hand-drawn sign, marker on poster board. Text says "ICE UNMASKED: BUTTHEADS!" There is a drawing of an ICE agent in a camo print police vest over a black sweatshirt. Instead of a face, he has a pair of butt cheeks. The butt is wearing a gray beanie.

Bluesky seems like a good place to share my #iceout sign from yesterday.

Charleston Chew is a fabulous name for a cat.

I know. I've been an ethical vegan for twelve years. But I also recognize that animal testing has varying degrees of wastefulness.

Some of it has been useful, if unethical. Like testing inoculation on your gardener's 8-year-old child. I think it's counterproductive not to acknowledge nuance.

In the Jingle All The Way universe, a slutty Turbo Man costume certainly exists, and it DEFINITELY has "It's Turbo Time!" written on the ass in gold. #christmas

Is this the actual picture??? THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN GOLD. I SPENT SO LONG TRYING TO SEE GOLD AND NOW IT JUST HAPPENS???

Weird that milk's favorite cookie is also vegans' go-to junk food.

It did not work! I am un-shutuppable in all fonts!

Times New Roman bums me out. #amwriting #writingcommunity

After a beta reader pointed out a "literary circlejerk," I am going to see if rewriting this prologue using the Jokerman font will help me make it less pretentious/wordy.

Stay tuned.

Stella, a brunette with chunky glasses, wears a big fat heart-shaped 'ty' Beanie Baby tag clipped to her orange and black Halloween PJs. They're shorts because she lives in California and it is 76 degrees and sunny.

I'm a super rare "PJs Writer" Beanie Baby for Halloween.

After battling laryngitis for three weeks, I have developed CRAVINGS for sugar free cough drops. What the fuck.

One of the worst things about me is my absolute certainty that I would've done well on Twitter in the early/mid 2010s.

Parallel parking should get you a MEDAL, honestly.

Well, presumably the AI cops "learned" using data from flesh-and-blood cops, so that tracks.
