a tweet from @/ThefirstJonk on 2/19/25 that reads: "Oh so no death cab for ugly? Ugly has to walk?"

got a much needed long laugh from this

This reminds me of my plan to market "Swiss Mister," which was manly hot cocoa mix sold in a container that looked like a can of motor oil

ME: the opposite of antibiotic is unclebiotic

PHARMACIST: the opposite of probiotic is amateurbiotic

Ways to tell that scam email isn't really from an editor at Penguin Random House:

1) It's a long, glowing, AI-regurgitated synopsis of your book followed by gibberish-level corporate speak

2) Actual editors PROBABLY won't email you from "penguinrandomhouse@firstname.lastname.co.site"?

Actually pretty reasonable aspirations for the guy who created the cybertruck, the only passenger vehicle in history LESS COOL THAN A MINIVAN

Awww, thanks, man! I also love the way they turned out, and now I'm glad I put off doing the T-shirt art until the last possible minute (thanks ADHD!)

My favorite tea shop was broken into very early this AM, and suffered property damage and theft.

If you wanna support them in their recovery, one of my faves from them is this super dessert tea. They also do custom blends, have a book club and much more!

Ugh! Same!

Somebody brought me a copy of the Arabella Grimsbro hardcover to sign, and also had me sign this t-shirt, I tried to channel Arabella the best I could

ECCC day 2! Find me at the Broken Eye Books table, #25009, tucked away near this random penguin house

Emerald City Comic Con this week, find me at the Broken Eye Books table, 25009 on level 3 of the Summit building. I've got 15 copies of the new Spellmonkeys hardcover and exactly two of the paperback, so if you want one come early.

Just a heads up, Tavern Rats is currently two bucks off in the Kindle store, $2.99, grab it while it's hot amzn.to/4rI8Ing

a banner which reads Trans Rights Are Human Rights surrounded by stars and yellow roses

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!

We have the chance this year to not only take back the House (or if we're dreaming, even the Senate), but to primary the hell of a lot of D losers and shift the party significantly to the left. We have the chance to lean on ALL of our reps to actually do something.

Launching a big ad push for Spellmonkeys, but the AMZ sales page is crying out for reviews. How well this goes will literally decide whether I continue the series (which I want to REAL BAD). So if you want more of Frinzil and her friends, please go drop a quick review on Amazon! bit.ly/4qkvMqG

Real Talk! So are we going to overthrow the fucking government or what? Also there is an 80's-era picture of the comedian Sinbad

OrcaCon Games are for Everyone!

Hey party people: Come find me at Orcacon at the SeaTac Doubletree by the airport this weekend! It's a super chill, mega inclusive tabletop gaming con, and it will be THE MOST FUN so hopefully I'll see you all there (I'm at C07, in pretty much geometric center of the merchant hall) www.orcacon.org

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

Xmas-celebrating Bluesky: How are y'all getting rid of your trees? Because I'm hacking off every single branch with a bread knife so they'll fit in my apartment building's compost bin and that's insane, right? Like, not my normal ADHD/anxiety neurodivergent stuff but old-school Arkham Asylum shit?

An email starting with “for your consideration: Nuremberg”

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

Did you know that you can creme brulee a pumpkin pie BECAUSE YOU FUCKING CAN

A bunch of little pins I'm making with a button maker, some of them feature whimsical anti-capitalist propaganda

Made the mistake of saying "let's get down to business" when I started making buttons to give away at Orycon this weekend and now I have the entire fucking Mulan soundtrack stuck in my head so that's how my day is going

A chibi grim reaper in star trek cosplay doing the "live long and prosper" salute. His name is Morty, and he's the unofficial mascot for the very last Orycon in Portland, WA (October 17-19)

I made this lil guy for Orycon, DO NOT FEAR HIM. And come party with us in Portland October 17-19 - it's the last Orycon ever, so we have to make it count! orycontemp.tezhme.net

hi, cis folks!

if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now.

the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE.

we need you to call senators: reps.fyi

Had maybe the most fun I've ever had on a panel yesterday at #Worldcon2025 - How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse for Teens. The kids were super engaged and we had a blast. Plus my kid sat in on a panel for the first time ever! Highlight of the con so far, but it's only Saturday so BRING IT WORLDCON
