Well the worst of this cold has passed. Now I have the strength to get out of bed and immediately sit somewhere else.

Guess I get to spend the next few days in bed with a cold. And a pile of books. Could be worse?

I got a friend the novel version of Bookshops & Bonedust a few months ago, but since they're more into graphic novels I've gotta send this their way at some point too.

I missed an opportunity yesterday to refer to my day at work as the Rocky Horror Pizza Shift, as I was offering a free pizza lunch to anyone who helped out in the aftermath of a midnight show. RHPS is always a messy affair to clean up, but that just means people were having a good time.

I've seen plenty lately about promises of $90 checks, $100 checks and of course, $5000 checks. Might as well just send us those scratcher things car dealerships mail out that all seem to say you've won* the GRAND PRIZE *you're entered into a drawing for a timeshare, probably.

Since I don't have anything else profound to share, here's a picture of Tipsy, who is 5 months old now.

Reminded me that this was sitting in my memes folder and it really should be updated for 2026. Especially for people like me who have no ability to draw. On the other hand, I feel really good about succeeding.

A meme for NoTober 2023, with 31 days of DRAW NOTHING prompts.

It's honestly felt nice to know I can actually keep up with people on here because I'm not overwhelmed with things that are completely irrelevant to who I followed. No suggestions or ads. It's alive on its own means.

I am so, SO thrilled to announce that Talk Story to Me--a live stream author interview series, later turned into podcast eps--is finally returning THIS FRIDAY with none other than the incredible @kacealexander.bsky.social, author of the dark, kickass, sci-fi dystopian duology SINless!

Hit my year's reading goal, 120/120. Now for three months of "Now what?" where I don't set arbitrary rules on myself to maintain a variety of selections.

Muse is proving to have one sure utility: Giving the world test cases to show just how cooked an entire segment of the population is when it comes to simple tasks like basic communication, or even privacy. It's becoming the 21st century equivalent of packing a picnic to watch trains crash.

What if I decided to make pumpkin cookies instead?

Or how about those fuzzy posters you colored in with markers, all decked out with unicorns and shit like that? Serious lack of magical whimsy these days.

Another bunny, a fishing buddy, as suffered the same fate, and is climbing out of the water having not let go of their fishing line and been pulled in. Other seagulls on the dock nearby enjoy their pilfered fishes.

I'm being informed by the purring cat in my lap that I have not given her enough attention lately, and too much attention to the kittens. Must be serious, this isn't typically a lap cat I'm dealing with.

Huh, the bus seat I sat on happened to be wet. What a fine start to the day.

5 more books in 8 days and I finish my goal 3 months early. Of course this only means I'm going to be distracted constantly.

I'll take any Sunday where I can finish a novel while watching a football game and just enjoy things for a few hours outside of all the chaos.

I tried cheese ice cream once and I actually didn't like it. Gave me a headache, and not the brain freeze kind.

dukeofbacon 📚🦦 @dukeofbacon.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I'm feeling in the mood for cheese and/or ice cream. Maybe a specific brand.

Just dealing with the minor emergency of my refrigerator kicking the bucket last night and not being able to get the new one delivered until wednesday. Could have been worse if not for having a standalone chest freezer.

Today's work! Not sure if I'll be able to make more, but will do my best!! Here's to hoping I can make a few more before the weekend ... Thanks to @jaws-stone.bsky.social for being an awesome co-working stream!!

It's like that $25 I somehow ended up with during the very brief time I was a twitch streamer. Can't cash out unless it's $50. May your dreams with that money someday be realized.

I think you should treat yourself with that money.

I'm still going to drop my ballot off in a drop-box because it's something I can easily do on my way to work, but I'd rather just have no fuckery whatsoever to worry about with voting.
