several have been mentioned (Hotel del Luna! Sell Your Haunted House!) but I def want to rec 'Hello, My Twenties,' which is about Five College Girls with Only One Bathroom and how they go from mutual loathing to ride-or-die over problems like 'gangsters,' 'evilest boyfriend,' & 'who stole my jam'

not entirely sure how they managed this configuration
two black cats, the large one flopped on his side on the rug, the little one sitting on one of his feet with his other foot draped over her butt and her tail draped over his belly

my signature is a completely illegible scribble, which always feels like a bit of a cheat in re: signing books - so last month I bid on a block print from the amazing glitch.monster in a charity auction, and got these two incredible stamp options to jazz up signed copies of Lady Eve's Last Con
a copy of the title page of Lady Eve's Last Con, stamped in the lower right with a block print of a seated silhouette of the heroine, and in the upper right with a silhouette of her head with a rocket behind it

my publisher has put the Lady Eve's Last Con e-book on sale for 99 cents along with their other award-nominated books, presumably to make it easier to read them and decide if you think they're worth awarding! a good time to form an opinion if you're interested

trying to keep this account relatively free of doomposting but a colleague I trust asked me to pass this along
Hey! Sorry to be messaging you about this, but I'm trying to spread the word. So sorry if this is not professional but: If you know anyone who's Hispanic/latine, tell them they need to have a picture of their American passport with them asap (a picture or a copy - not the real thing because ICE can take it with them.) And memorize their social security number. Just heard someone almost got taken by ICE because they couldn't prove their status. I'm trying to spread the word

my friend has just pointed out that this literally happened to a guy in I, Robot, and you know what, yeah, i too am heaving uselessly at the insubstantial eons of time that exist all around me
The white thread that might have been Powell heaved uselessly at the insubstantial eons of time that existed all about him - and collapsed upon itself as the piercing shriek of a hundred million ghosts of a hundred million soprano voices rose to a crescendo of melody: "I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you. "I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal, you. "I'll be glad -" It rose up a spiral stairway of violent sound into the keening supersonics that passed hearing, and then beyond-

lately @epbirdsall.bsky.social has started comparing them to the Large Body Double and Small Body Double versions they used to make the hobbits seem hobbit-sized in LOTR

the new cats have deigned to become intermittently perceivable so please meet Semicolon [a three-legged murder infant] and M. Dash Interrobang [as far as we can mostly tell, a pair of glowing eyes]
