Tried to take a selfie and just ended up looking like I’m about to be flattened by a speeding Kia Sorento

A selfie of me floating in my pool at home. My eyes are bizarrely wide and it makes me look as if I'm bearing witness to a biblically accurate angel

Man I have so much great news I'm not allowed to talk about. Multiple short story acceptances. Multiple book contracts. Unrevealed cover art. Someone's gonna have to chisel a hole in my skull to vent the pressure. I'm fucking dying over here

I can't believe Darryl Hall put up with this shit for all those years

A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates that reads as follows: "This is why AI-generated romance novena maje perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak ; what difference does it make if a machine 'writes' it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to different consumers."

These are the ugliest goddamned running kicks I've ever ordered (you know me so you know this is quite a statement), but friggin hell are they comfortable. They look like corrective shoes you'd slap on a sick kid in a space hospital, but I feel like I just slid my feet into two bags of marshmallows

As a broke teen in the 90s I'd figured out if you hold a Sprite upside down at the right angle, you'd spot a winning cap. I'd walk into a gas station with a dollar and the guy at the register thought I was a mini David Blaine as I cracked seven of them and brought them outside for my thirsty friends

My Saturday at Printers Row was a crowded/sweaty little blast! Always soul healing to chill with the forever homies and catch a glimpse of just how hungry the general public is for good books. Writing is cool. You know what else is cool? Malort

I love that a trustee took one look at the nosediving HWA approval rating and was like "I know just the thing to turn those frowns upside down; making conflicts of interest my personal Alamo"

A screencap from a post from Brian Matthews on the HWA Facebook page that reads as follows:

I’ve read posts about how elected officials of the HWA should be ineligible for Bram Stoker Award consideration and I’d like to offer my view on this. It’s simply my own opinion and doesn’t reflect the views of other Board members or the HWA as an organization. Just little old me.
I think making elected officials ineligible for BSA consideration would be a bad idea. The HWA is a social networking organization of creatives meant to support creatives. It does have a leadership structure, and as a member, I would want some of the most experienced people to fill those roles. People who know the writing business inside and out. People with experience dealing with agents, editors, and publishers. People with a vast array of experiences that can help shape their vision and judgement.
I thinks it’s reasonable to expect these people would be actively creating. They are making a career out of it. And something like the BSAs can have a positive impact on a career. Receiving one might help with sales or gain visibility. It’s seen as an accomplishment.
Now tell them that, if they want to be an elected official of the HWA and try to make a difference for the organization, they need to put their career on hold (at least as it pertains to the award season and potential career advancement) for two years? Four years? Six years?

Imprint: Death's Head Press
Author of FEEDING THE WHEEL Michael Boulerice's ETHER'S WOOD: AN ELEMENTARY PRIMER, a themed collection of sci-fi-horror connected by an interweaving narrative, illustrations, and epistolary elements centered around an ethereal plane, pitched as representative of the author's struggles with insomnia, unresolved grief, and lived trauma, to Megan Yundt at Death's Head Press, in an exclusive submission, for publication in summer 2027 (world English)."
