Looking for a new Arthurian read?

The last piece in my collection, the timeloop novella "All the Ways We Drown" is perfect for anyone who's ever been annoyed by Lancelot

AKA "Elaine of Astolat and Elaine of Corbenic take matters into their own hands"

Parker as pop star in The Studio Job is extra fantastic in an episode full of fantastic moments
Two Live Crew Job, which has always been a favorite, is extra delightful on this watch!
Also, last time I watched Leverage, I still hadn't seen any Star Trek... Riker directs! And briefly appears as a hospital patient!

Words writers love?

I’ll start: husk. Writers can’t get enough of describing someone/something as a husk. #booksky

My husband is working with a group delivering groceries to families from an overwhelmingly Hispanic school in Mpls. He will be buying groceries this Friday. $350 will finish covering their food needs for the week; if he raises more he will buy TP/laundry detergent. Venmo: Edward-Burke-MSP.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

authors, please annoy me with book posts! I want them! I need things for my brain to chew on that aren't just The Horrors, please!
nnnh.

Usually I don't market my own books here even though this is where I have the most contact with people. I kind of do a couple of posts on tiktok and even fewer on instagram

but it is time to leave tiktok

instagram isn't really any better

do I start annoying you all with book posts?

Good morning, I’ve put the dragon fainting couch up on Maker World! It’s a bit of an experiment because the print profile is kinda wonky due to the needs of fuzzy texture printing, so feel free to ask if you have questions or problems ☺️ #3Dprinting
