Bonus Boombox photos.
An orange cat named Boombox curled up on a green couch. You mainly see his back paws and his head tilted. A closeup of Boombox’s orange cat head. He got them cute nose freckles and freckles on his bottom lip. He is doing that thing where he looks dead because he is trying to nap and I am bothering him with taking a photo instead EXTREME CLOSEUP of back toe beans and hair tufts of the wee foots of Boombox the Marmalade Terror.

Everything is Tuberculosis, by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social, is a thoughtful, quick read on TB - a curable disease that kills over 1.3 million people a year. Which…sounds like a depressing read, but it isn’t. There is hope. There are paths of action.
An orange terror of a cat named Boombox sits on a green couch with John Green’s book, Everything is Tuberculosis. The book has a yellow cover, black title and author font, and an orange illustrated representation of TB under a microscope behind the subtitle (The History and Persistence of our Deadliest Infection).

The Writer meets The Devil at a party. The Writer is dressed like Nancy Reagan. The Devil is intrigued. A friendship is formed.

Also, FABOOSH AUDIOBOOK! Definitely checkout Craft: Stories I wrote for the Devil by @anandalima.bsky.social
The cover of the book Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil by Ananda Lima. The cover is the title in huge type against a yellowish background. The image of the books is it sitting on top of a box of records.

The beast yawns.
A close up of an orange cat, a marmalade beastie of housebroken contentedness, yawning furiously. There are freckles.

This is Boombox.
Boombox, an orange cat, hides behind records. He is bathed in green light and looks like a fuckin goblin who should be soundtracked by John Carpenter. You see his ears pressed down to fit under a record shelf, one shark eye, and his sniffing snoot. He looks wild and ready to cause havoc.
