This #caturday Verne is chilly, so we dressed him up with one of our old cat's holiday picture outfits. He seems to like it and says he's ready to do human things now!
Verne, a black and gray cat, sits upright in my desk chair, wearing a green checkered shirt with a little bow tie on the front.

Hey you!

Space Wizard Press is pretty cool and they’re releasing a bunch of queer books next year :)

If you want to support small presses, please consider backing them!

(Also, I may have a story in their Lesbians in Space anthology which is just a killer title :v)

Check out the new character art done by @janjanartsss.bsky.social! My crowdfund project has met its second stretch goal, so we're getting LOTS of art!

I doubt if we'll get the audio since that needs $3k more, but let's keep going!
