An orange tabby kitten lays on a beige couch while lifting his back leg to clean it. A mostly white with orange patches adult cat lies upside down asleep next to him. allthesecats.org Paws in the air!
We’ve decided to keep Pepper + Pharaoh as part of our rescue crew. They obviously hate it here. 🤷♀️ Pharaoh is beyond chill (doesn’t hiss at other cats; purrs + head butts) + Pepper is a crazy, energetic teen eating everything 🫠 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Orange cats galore over here! #cats #rva

Want to reiterate that the only concern about a freeze mid-week is going to be for areas west of Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway; #RVA should stay in the upper 30s.

Ashe has been a cosplayer for almost twenty years and has always loved the bizarre and strange parts of fandom. From sci-fi to anime, their love for fandom space and pop culture knows no bounds! Especially, the cosplay and fabrication aspect. And even more so for ballgowns and fancy builds. Ever the eccentric, they’ve truly grown their repertoire to include drag performances as well!

By day, I wrangle teenagers as a Career and Technical Education teacher in a small rural high school. By night, I turn into a Crafting Necromancer, conjuring creations out of recycled fiber, paper, resin, filament, electronics, fabric, and occasionally old mail (okay, frequently bills). My newest obsessions are cosplay and sending Happy Mail—because who doesn’t love a mailbox full of joy? I’m a proud Cat Person =^.^=, currently under the benevolent reign of Gandalf (a regal Persian) and his sidekick Bookstahoodah (a tuxedo mischief-maker). For balance, I also have a Yorkie named Shostakovich who insists on being the dramatic lead in the ongoing sitcom that is my household. I believe in kindness, creativity, and the power of meeting other kind, creative people—preferably over tea, good conversation, and spirited debate… like who the best Doctor was, and why it is Tom Baker.

What a fitting end to #stunday. After a gray and rainy day, I was treated to this sunset from my deck 😍 #ECK #photography #clouds #rva
Mike Allen writes spooky things—a Publishers Weekly reviewer once called his stories “nightmare fuel.” Two of his collections of horror tales, Unseaming and Aftermath of an Industrial Accident, were nominees for the Shirley Jackson Award, named after the author of The Haunting of Hill House. To Mike’s delight, his newest novel, Appalachian horror yarn Trail of Shadows (Broken Eye Books, 2025), has been named a finalist for the 2026 Webster Award—an award that honors the memory of his dear departed friend Bud Webster. His other novels include the post-apacolyptic swarming-undead sidearms-and-sorcery adventure The Black Fire Concerto (re-released by Ruadán Books in 2025) and its forthcoming sequel The Ghoulmaker’s Aria. He’s also the author of two more unnerving story collections, The Spider Tapestries and Slow Burn, and six books of poetry, among those the Philadelphia Inquirer Editor’s Choice selection Strange Wisdoms of the Dead. His stories and poems have appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction, Apex Magazine, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Best Horror of the Year, Interzone, Nebula Awards Showcase, Strange Horizons, Weird Tales, and many other magazines and anthologies. With his wife Anita, he runs Mythic Delirium Books, home to numerous award-winnning and award-nominated sci-fi and fantasy volumes that defy categories and expectations, including the five books in the Clockwork Phoenix anthology series. As an editor and publisher, Mike has twice been a finalist for the World Fantasy Award. Follow him on Instagram @mythicdelirium and Bluesky @mythicdelirium.bsky.social.
