My deepest and sincerest apologies to everyone whose work I critiqued, saying that your villain was over-the-top or cartoonish. I’m so sorry. Now I understand that there's no such thing as a too-ridiculous villain. In fact, there is no ceiling to ridiculousness. I’ll do better.

New story day! "The Matador and the Labyrinth" is up at Diabolical Plots. Borges meets Hemingway. www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... The image is from a kylix drinking cup, c. 515 BC. The inscription around the edge reads "The boy is beautiful."

Just picked up this sweet lady from @ccfinlay.bsky.social and @raecarson.bsky.social so she can enjoy her fur-ever home with @authorjlhenry.bsky.social. She's a little unsure about the cat carrier but seems eager to live her future princess lifestyle!

Due to extreme cold, we experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly of a water pipe and now have several inches of standing water in our basement and no running water at all while we wait for the plumber. But here's a picture of Agatha, an absolute knockout of a cat who is visiting us temporarily.
An absolutely gorgeous female cat with light brown stripes and a face that is vaguely like an Abyssinian. She is standing on a bed with a white quilt and white fabric headboard, placed against a peach colored wall. Her face is turned toward the camera, and the window behind, and panes of bright sunlight drape across her body. Her golden eyes gaze into the distance, her expression regal and mysterious. You know, normal cat stuff.

While on the Other Site I learned how important it is to develop a signature style and fashion. Mine is called “Just Got Out of Bed Chic.”

For those of us with seasonal depression, putting up holiday lights is a stand against despair, a determination to find joy in the darkness. So please don’t judge when we put up our lights waaaay too early and keep them up waaaay too late! 🤩🤩🤩

The honest truth is that when I’m on a tight deadline, I live like a barbarian. Wrappers and take out containers everywhere, the cat boxes stinking, dishes in piles, used tea bags. . . I’d take a picture, but I’m too embarrassed.

Rae and I have watched so much women's college basketball the past four years that if we talk about the Buckeyes or Hawkeyes or Huskies or the Cardinal, it's a women's team. By default. To prevent confusion when we talk about the men's teams we add a word, the Gentlemen Buckeyes, Hawkeyes, etc.

Whiskey and Odin look through the catio window to check in on Cleo (she's doing fine but would like Rae to come outside and play with her).
Two orange cats, one Big Ginger Boi and one Little Ginger Boi, sit atop a cat tree and look out the window.

We were thrilled when this absolute stunner of a bluebird showed up at our Bird Buddy. It's been months since we've had a new species show up.

Having ChatGPT write something for you is liking having a robot exercise for you: the task might get finished but you won't accrue any benefit from it. Creativity, like athletic performance, is something that only happens as a result of doing the work yourself.

Been tracking the prices of a few items, hoping they'd go on sale for Black Friday. And they did! Every single one is on sale! For the exact same price as before. Black Friday is such a scam.

Sheree Renée Thomas has been a transformative editor at F&SF, publishing essential writers and stories. She doesn't deserve the problem she currently has to deal with there. But it doesn't surprise me that she has been forced to deal with it without publisher support. A thread. 1/x
