In case you missed it, I had a FREE story drop on @michaelastackpole.bsky.social's Chain Story Project.
It's about the last of the Catriders on a quest to rescue the forest from a sorcerer Hawk. Think Redwall, Conan, and Elric wrapped in a ball of fun. www.chainstorycore.com/blog/free-fi...

This movie is really terrific. It’s like if Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle and Graham Greene’s Power and the Glory hung out together in a murder mystery. Rian Johnson is just a terrific filmmaker and I’m thankful he gets to ply his art. Go see it.
Let’s all go around BlueSky and each say what we’re thankful for. I’ll start: GLENN CLOSE! And #WakeUpDeadMan being in theaters. WITH GLENN CLOSE! Thanks to all who are coming out to see it. Theater finder in my pinned post!

If you would like to shop small this weekend, consider indie bookshops rather than the big chains. Consider the authors themselves, even. A ton of us have signed books available on our websites.

Someone just DMed to ask why I swear so much. I won't expose them, since they seem nice-ish, but I'll answer here:
I swear because:
1. I can.
2. I have a lot to swear about.

This should be interesting.
And IU still got a lot of medical junk in the near future including a EEG and second MRI upcoming, plus specialist visits to see if we can figure out what in the heck is going on.
Any support is appreciated, even if one can only afford to spread the word.

I often stand naked in front of a full-length mirror, studying myself to better come to terms with my imperfections. It’s not an easy thing to do though, and quite frankly I feel IKEA security could be a little more supportive.
