Everyone post your hometown slop!
My high school hometown doesn't really have one (and yes, zero culture), but in PVD if you're in a chemically altered state, you need hot wieners and you specifically need three all the way and a coffee milk.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
I listened to this album on repeat for a good solid year. It is still to my mind the perfect mix of industrial, rock, and electronica and while KMFDM continues to rock a million fades I dunno if anything will live in my heart like this does.

Woke up like this. Happy Wednesday, and may you do something today that a fascist would absolutely dread.

Belated Tuesday cat cleanse: having this litter-mate grooming session start in the vicinity of my legs was both adorable and a little terrifying. Fortunately it never turned into a grooming fight.

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want
(It starts gentle, but don't worry the feelings are lurking not too far down the page.)
(Also quote-sharing this off of Ladz is proof to me of what an amazingly wide variety of authors I am privileged to know.)

Today’s cat cleanse is Bruce reacting to me coming in the door last night. I feel like I caught him doing something.

Wednesday selfie a day late, so you get a little peek at my basement office (and just the basement) — you’re doing amazing!

Home study is done, which means it's now just a Wednesday, which means...self-promo and video game memes!
You can pick up my novel, THE IMAGINARY CORPSE, or my short fiction over at tyler-hayes.com/publications, and support a midlist author trying to get things back on track. Maru would love it.

Tonight’s queer board game night fit, because masking in public is for winners. Coincidentally, my last selfie at my current age.
Good job getting halfway to Friday, and I’ll see you at the finish line!

I can think of no selfie that better encompasses the ideal Friday than this. Right down to Jen moving a little before I could snap it. Have a restful one, Interfriends; I’ll see ya Monday.

Belated selfie. I’m having a bad brain day but I am handling it. These things happen and they pass; may it be quick for us all.
