Middle daughter, opening a small package: Oh good, the severed fingers I ordered from Latvia have arrived. Me: ... (There is context, but it's much more fun if I don't give any.)

New leg day workout today, which sees the introduction of Bulgarian split squats. If that sounds like some kind of torture technique, that's because it is. If anyone wants me, I'll be hobbling around the house going, "Ow. Ow. Ow."

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a massive help. Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long this sale will last. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

It's Saturday morning here in (rabies-free) Australia, so of course I've spent some time researching rabies.

How come ChatGPT is nice to everyone except me? To help with calorie tracking, I asked it to calculate the cooked weight of a recipe, and it's all like, "Are you sure you want to eat that, fatty?"

Fielding all the hard questions from an 8-year-old today. Where does air come from? Where do you go if you fall off the Earth? What happens if a bat gets tangled in your hair? Why are ducks' feet creepy?

At our school we have chickens which the students help to care for. If running with scissors is the number one perilous activity in a primary school, coming a close second must be running with eggs.

Things I learned from a 9-year-old today: 1. Oreos have the sign of the devil imprinted on them. 2. An infinitygon is a shape with an infinite number of sides. It looks just like a perfect circle.

Just took progress photos of my near-naked self at the insistence of my gym coach. It might be the most demoralizing thing I have ever done in my life. On the plus side, whenever the kids at school hurl "big back" as an insult, I now know exactly what they mean.

When I am in the kitchen, everyone else has to pretend to be a vampire. You CAN NOT come into the kitchen unless I invite you.

Someone posted in our Facebook community page about a parcel being delivered to the wrong house with a photo of the evidence of delivery. Meanwhile, I'm obsessed by the shadow cast by the delivery driver taking said photo. Does this look just like a hunchback in a top hat, or is it just me?

New fitness app congratulated me today on lifting the weight of a hypothetical rhino in today's workout. That's a misleading stat, though. Yes, I lifted a rhino, but only if said rhino had been precut into 100 manageable chunks, and I just had to move them from the bench to the floor and back again.

Received a gift voucher for a full body massage, which I redeemed today. "Tell me if you have any tender spots," the masseuse said. Turns out, I have all of them. All the tender spots.

The Algorithm has found out we're planning an overseas trip this year. Constant ads for "travel clothes" (which are different from regular clothes because...?), neck pillows and compression socks. I will eventually cave on the socks.

I think I found the winner of the Internet today. Someone posted on the local community page on Facebook with a picture of two goats wandering in the street. "Not sure who to call," she said. And an anonymous member replied - GoatsBusters.

This morning's run. Approaching a mum and small boy, about 2 or 3 years old. The boy raises a hand to point at me. The mum explains, "He is impressed by your running. He says you are going so fast." As an overweight 58-year-old with the running speed of an arthritic tortoise, that made my day.
