My floofy dog had to have some lumps removed today and it's the first time I've seen her shaved to the skin. She's covered in spots!

Me: I am too old and tired to pull all-nighters for work. Also me: I should put this off until the very last minute. That makes a lot of sense.

My boss asked me to lead an icebreaker in a meeting tomorrow. Icebreakers are dumb but whatever, sure I can do that. Then she sent me what Copilot suggested I say to lead the icebreaker. I'm tired y'all.

Two people, one dressed as a horrible sheep experiment thing, standing in front of a giant 2019 DragonCon registration postcard with a Dragoncon 40th anniversary border. Purple badge ribbon that says 00:00:00, in the style of a countdown clock , and Welcome Home 2026.

PREORDER ALERT! The Devouring time is coming in ebook and paperback September 25! Can bookseller Sterling Caine and investigator Adrian Evans find out what happened during Sterling’s forgotten year? CLICK HERE: buy.bookfunnel.com/2n2porj6w5
An ebook and paperback stand against an orange gradient. The covers are the same, and feature a cracked clock face against a blue background. Two illustrated death's head hawkmoths flutter around it. To one side, there is a "bug" featuring a light blue vortex surrounded by the words Widdershins Universe. Text reads: Bestselling author of Whyborne & Griffin, Jordan L. Hawk, The Devouring Time, a Widdershins Universe Novel. Beside the books is text reading: Coming September 25, The Devouring Time. Can a handsome investigator help an amnesiac bookseller regain his memories before it's too late?

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Looking for something high heat and sapphic but still short enough to read in a single setting? According to my calculations, it's time to read News Flash by Candace Harper! Available FREE on my newsletter OR 99c through all e-tailers and with a Kobo Plus subscription! foxglovefiction.com/...
According to my calculations.. across the top with the book cover for News Flash on the left hand side. On the right hand side, there are ribbons reading rival journalists, mutual lusting, chosen proximity, high heat, higher stakes. At the bottom is a calculator whos screen says "It's time to read"

A starchy demon utterly undone by love. An underpowered oracle fighting for her community (and cheese). Sexy Satan. Villains actually getting their comeuppance. WOO(R)SD is out today, and I hope you love it as much as I do! Bookshop.org: go.oliviadade.com/WOObs AMZ: go.oliviadade.com/WOOamz
The illustrated cover of WORLD'S OKAYEST ORACLE (RELUCTANTLY) SEEKS DEMON by Olivia Dade, featuring a man and a woman standing back to back against a hot pink background, appearing poised for action. The woman is holding a curved athame, while the man has a fireball just above his open, upturned palm. There are flames and small hearts surrounding them.

Jimothy supports disability rights. ✨🦝✨ #Jimothy
A bright pink graphic features a cutout image of Jimothy positioned on the left side. He appears to be mid-step, with one front paw lifted. Large white text at the top reads, “Jimothy supports:”

To the right of Jimothy is a list in white text that says:

“Making things more accessible.”
“Building ramps.”
“Caring about disability rights.”

In the bottom left corner, the creator’s handle, “@MisaOnWheels,” appears in yellow text.
