You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen

I’ve only seen half an episode so far and I know nothing else about it but I feel confident in assuming Heated Rivalry started as Crosby x Ovechkin fanfiction

Rewatching Stranger Things before the big finale and season one just hits differently now that I’m a parent. Like, yeah, if my kid went missing I’d be talking to the lights too

Re indie marketing scams: if someone is asking you if they can review your book, they want money for it if they really loved it, they'd be posting about it without your permission

No one gets me quite like my fellow murderino of a brother (cc @myfavoritemurder.bsky.social)
Text exchange between me and my brother in which I sent him a picture of a 12 foot Halloween skeleton decoration with a caption that says “🎶It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeeeeeear🎶” to which he replied “I’ll never be able to prove it, but as soon as I saw the text of your message I knew exactly what the pic was going to be of”

I’ve watched so much Dexter (OG, New Blood, Original Sin & half of Resurrection) over the past month that my 3 month old has started reacting (squealing with delight) at the sound of Michael C. Hall’s voice.

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.

Watching Dexter for the first time during the hours of being nap-trapped under a newborn and, wow, what a relic of the mid-aughts. The number of times I’ve said “Yikes, we don’t use that word anymore” is… yikes.

Wish I could sell physical box sets in this same case I designed for the Cardplay Duology digital box set, 'cause damn, I really like how it turned out 👀 Anyway, you can now grab both ebooks as a set on Amazon if you want! This is also discounted for Pride Month 🌈 amazon.com/dp/B0FC6Y3W51
A 3D mock-up case for a two-book digital box set. The spines for Bloody Spade and Bleeding Heart stick out the open end. The case itself has an illustration of the protagonists on it, both midair, surrounded by swirling ink. Iori is holding Ellen's wrist and leveling a stern expression at her while she stares up at him somewhat fearfully. Her crystal-bladed bone scythe is falling from her grasp.A promotional graphic featuring 3D mock-ups of Bloody Spade and Bleeding Heart's, surrounded by a list of tropes/themes that appear in the Cardplay Duology. Text reads: Abundant hurt/comfort, inky body horror, hot-tempered fire wielder, bird girl with plant magic, a celestial deity with a penchant for murder, a budding QPR, returned magic, slow-burn romantic subplot, asexual panic, monsters born from malice, softhearted scythe-wielding girl, snarky cat-eared thief. Bloody Spade's cover depicts a black silhouette of a short-haired cat-eared boy with a glowing purple spade in front of him. Bleeding Heart's depicts a white silhouette of a girl with deer antlers and long flowing hair with a glowing heart in front of her.

Every June I’m reminded of how weird it is to live in a city that doesn’t celebrate Pride until August. I guess it means we get twice the Pride but it’s strange to not see rainbows everywhere when the rest of the world is celebrating! 🏳️‍🌈
