If you are wondering, for some reason, why it is I am so fucking excited to see 5 strapping singers from Cornwall come over here to little ol' Wisconsin, it's not just because they can sing. And BOY CAN THEY SING: www.thecountrymen.co.uk/music/cornis...

SILVER AND LEAD, the nineteenth full-length October Daye adventure, releases in paperback tomorrow. This was my first Toby book with Tor; I was very fortunate both to find a new home for such a long-running series, and to be able to retain my cover artist.

I'm going to talk about some NSFW ideas and I'm going to break a couple of dreams here: You don't want "a threesome." That's like saying "I want to play a vivaldi concerto once." You only get there with practice. You want at minimum three threesomes so you can be better at them. Aim higher.

TONIGHT, Madison, WI: Jack o'the Dust at Bierock from 8-10pm! Bierock is in the same strip mall as the Willy Street Co-op's North location, across from Warner Park. The food is incredible, the taps are extensive and not only limited to beer, and the desserts are perfect.

I read a draft of a man's book once in which his protagonist said, "I know there's nothing I can say about [a woman's] appearance that will be comforting when someone is actively using it against her." Anyway we've been dating for like a year and a half now.

Bite Sized Archie 293, linked from www.facebook.com/ArchieComics... - in which Jughead tells it like it fucking is.
[image description, Bite Sized Archie #293 - Sacred vs Slop - script: Ron Cacace - Art: Vincent Lovallo
Panel one: Jughead, wearing a blue sweater overtop a white collared shirt with black trousers and blue converse-looking sneakers, sits on a red armchair next to a bigass green book marked HISTORY, and his speech bubble reads, "Once, there was THE COMPUTER."
Panel two:  Jughead gestures to a desktop computer with "putt-putt goes to the moon" on the screen, and his speech bubble reads, "The computer was sacred."
Panel 3: Jughead holds up a smartphone, brows furrowed, mouth open and downturned.  The smartphone has a weird screen of a man eating spaghetti.  Jughead's speech bubble reads, "This is not the computer."
Panel 4: a closer-up look at the smartphone, with Jughead pointing at it.  The screen shows the spaghetti picture looking even weirder somehow with a red spiky bubble in the corner that reads, "100% Certified AI Slop*!!"
Jughead's speech bubble reads, "This is the enemy!"
at the bottom of the panel is a little yellow box that reads, "*This comic is 100% human drawn an always will be!" 

the very bottom reads www.ArchieComics.com (c)2026 Archie Comics Publications, Inc]

A reminder: not currently identifying as Christian, not currently interested in the history or translations of the two principles about which I'm speaking - I'm interested in what our actions look like as supposedly caring people.

Amy McNally @infamousfiddler.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
Here's another core Bible principle I'd love to bring to the people interested in espousing other ones: Don't muzzle the oxen who work your fields. If you own an ice cream shop = give your staff free ice cream. Don't micromanage your employees. Share joy with them. Share profit with them.

A femme-appearing human lady with blue hair and glasses, also using a rubbery looking dinosaur hand puppet of vaguely t-rexian fierceness, stands outside a door making a big growly chompy face to match the dinsoaur hand puppet's teeth.  The lady is wearing a leather elizabethan riding hat with a whole bunch of blue and black and white and peacock feathers, and seems unburdened by dignity, if I may say so myself
