US friends! FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL DIRECTOR (by me, as Hazel Graves) is 99c in ebook all month!

It's Freaky Friday x Six Feet Under x Legally Blonde and probably the funniest thing I've written :)

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

@PFracassi.bsky.social returns to The Doylestown Bookshop to discuss his new book, #TheAutumnSpringsRetirementHomeMassacre, w/ @ChuckWendig.bsky.social.

We are loving this book, and when talking about it, one of our booksellers said, "It's like The Thursday Murder Club checked into Bates Motel."

“What’s today?” cried Scrooge, calling downward to a boy in Sunday clothes.

“Today?” replied the boy. “Why, it’s Paperback Book Release Day sir!”

Jam by Margaret Mahy

A delightful tale by Margaret Mahy about an industrious stay-at-home dad who is on a mission to ensure his family gets the most out of their plum harvest!

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

I have been watching the devastating videos from friends and colleagues. Some folks are still missing in cold waters. The few news and info sources for locals are also the same ones being cut by federal funding. People should know this is happening

The U.S. Coast Guard commander for Western Alaska compared the devastation in Southwest Alaska villages over the weekend to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
