They told me not to write about Cthulhu. They told me bad things would happen if I did. But what do they know, anyhow?

Opened THE TRIGGERING TOWN by Richard Hugo to a random page and my own underlining reminded me to stop worrying and get back to writing.

I find that I like going back to read the earliest examples of a genre just to see how it was done before the tropes got cemented in place. Anyone else do this? #booksky

A painting by Leon Huber 1858-1928. He was born in Montmartre, a bohemian neighborhood in Paris, France. He often helped the poor by offering food and other services.🙂

Two-panel comic of a fluffy black cat with large round eyes peeking over a ledge against a textured blue background. In the first panel only the cat’s eyes and ears are visible and the text says, “Excuse me.” In the second panel the cat pops up with its paws on the edge and the text reads, “Just popping in to make sure you remember to love yourself.”

It can be super hard sometimes to be as positive and upbeat as I want to be here, because of everything going on in the world. Some things are too big for one person alone to tackle, but the thing I really want to get across is that no one, NO ONE is alone. You are loved ❤️

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

In 1947 the US War Department released “Don’t Be a Sucker,” now archived by the National Archives. It shows how fascism grows through fear lies and scapegoating. This should not be history. It is a reminder our government once wanted remembered.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 24/11/2025
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable.
Green: Would you still love me if I never got better?

Blue hesitates a moment before answering.
Blue: What a silly thing to ask.

Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore.
Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.

Tropes are not bad. There's a difference between a cliché and a trope. The Lord of the Rings has tropes in it that Tolkien did not invent, Éowyn's backstory coming to mind. Let people write what they find fun. You are not the authority on joy. #WritingCommunity

Did anyone else have these books growing up? I don’t know why but I never read the Goosebumps books in school, but I did have these and they freaked me out 💀 I can’t recall any of the stories now though 🎃
Came across a video about the Goosebumps books and it reminded me of the Scary Stories books I had in elementary school
