Skrunkle Stanley is the exact same. Lap bad. Arms good. He is now too big to baby Bjorn him, which used to be the only way I could get anything done

A picture of a grey striped cat with white muzzle and legs, sniffing the corner of a paperback book. The book in question is hunger pangs by joy demorra and is being used for scale.

Just googled myself to see where I currently stand on overhauling my online presence and learned two things: 1. My cat might be more famous than I am 2. Skrunkle Stanley and I are a package deal And you know what? Fair enough. #stetpet #freelanceeditor #fictioneditor #availablenow #linkinbio

Skrunkle Stanley, looking skrunkly but adorable. Two years old, Maine Coon with white chops, face, legs, and belly. He is laying down, alert, and looking past the camera.

This could be a portrait of my cat. (Not the sulkiest he has despaired on camera, because he caught me paying attention)

Photo of a cat on the top basket of a cat tree. He is mostly hidden by the basket walls, but two of his very fluffy, huge white paws, black tail, and his face is visible. Only the top of his head shows his grey and black tabby stripes.

"This may come as a surprise," they say, as if news hadn't already leaked in Korea ten days ago. Look. I won't pretend to know all the factors at play here, especially with some of the other industry news about licensing, but there's a lesson in optics to learn from the Tapas shutdown.
