Finally figuring out how that Wacom drawing tablet I bought over a year ago works. Watch out, y'all, this bad artist is going to be making more bad art, just in a different way

Kevin Martin is the GOAT. Also thought (former?) US curler Jamie Sinclair was really great this morning on the Women's match broadcast

Book cover that features a monstrous Dogman and a guy with an eye patch and gun in front of it. Lots of chocolate splatters on the cover.

Me, 2022-January 2026: man, Bruce Mouat is impressive. Absolute lad, makes every shot, should win it all at the Olympics
Me, February 2026: Bruce Mouat needs to cut this shit out

SPLIT SCREAM Vol. 8: CURSED PLACES - Two Novelettes (print + eBook) *p This a preorder. This book is expected to ship on or before April 21st, 2026. β€œEvocative and evil, a powerful one-two punch of horror” Tamika Thompson, THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS This is not a place ...

Years ago, I visited a mansion/museum in D.C. filled with eccentric rooms. I left thinking the place itself wasn't haunted, but the mirrors were. It inspired me to write "Passing Glance," which you can read in SPLIT SCREAM VOL. 8: CURSED PLACES, out 4/21 from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social! Preorder:

It's cold stratification time for some of my collected native wildflower seeds, to get them ready to germinate in the spring. Starting to get antsy for warmer weather.

Did better than I expected, had tons of fun, and didn't get hurt! Also a welcome reprieve from everything, even if briefly. A great community event with such good vibes and support, which, pretty important these days.
