If you see this, post a skeleton 💀

A woman holds two skeletons in her hand. One of them is praying. One skeleton wears a pink bonnet with white lace while the other wears a blue hood with a lime green string.

My villain is three years old today. A bratty toddler, to be sure, still running around the forest and raising hell.

I got my copy of Songs from the Blimp Ruins by @pdforan.bsky.social / Silverbacked Punk press and was ecstatic to find my favorite story on page 33. I remember when it was published in WhiskeyPaper. I remember everything. Buy books to remember! ❤️

I still don’t know what they were talking about.

Okay so I need your best good and powerful thoughts for the next hour or so.

Not the best shot but you would blur too if you ate all that suet.

I wasn’t expecting another Friday the 13th so soon after the last. Here’s a black cat I may have posted before, which I suppose is bad luck.
