Jeffrey Ricker (he/him)

I usually beg anyone even thinking of begging the question to consider raising the question instead—although just being quiet would likely be infinitely preferable.

I’m visiting my parents and just did this on my dad’s computer. Thanks for the tip! Now if only I can explain 2FA to him….

In honor of Hallowe’en month, I’ll share a horror story that someone in practically any profession would understand:

“Per my last email….”

We saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe.

My first morning home visiting my parents was, naturally, devoted to tech support.

I would say this explains why my hands are especially achy this morning, but that’s, like you say, the rain. I love being a walking barometer.

Have you gotten @alexwhite.bsky.social’s A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe yet? While it’s on ridiculous sale? No? Go on, then. I’ll wait.

No no, I don’t mind. I’ll wait.

This is a case where you can absolutely judge a book by its cover. @nathanburgoine.bsky.social’s Little Village series is as charming and fun as @inkspiraldesign.bsky.social’s covers.

It’s #NationalComingOutDay, and I hate that the world is going to shit and making it harder. But above all, whether you can come out today or tomorrow or a year from now, remember who you are. You matter. We’re ready when you’re ready.

We all know Your Grace’s love is infinite. Plenty to go around.

Whenever I back out of someplace in my car, I imagine I’m stealing the Enterprise. Whenever I pull out, I imagine my car is the Protostar.

We saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe.

Don’t you dare apologize. Also, I want the Boimler-esque part. (Note to self: more purple for hair.)

“You know, we as gay people, we get to choose our family.”

But it’s certainly a fun thing (although not, perhaps, for the blockee).

Starting with the fact that he thinks he *has* no “peers”….

I heard that Q keeps campaigning to get it, but, you know, Q.

Well, I think that’s my vacation reading sorted.

I half expected his name to be Alonzo.

A little short story gift for us from this talented person

Tornadoes, blizzards, hurricanes. Sometimes all in the same week. If only he could just, you know, make a little rain and get crops to grow better. #WeeknightWriters

I feel like we’ve really done some good work tonight. 😂

This sounds awesome, like Beatrice and Benedick with blades.

If I write someone non-sweary without a single sarcastic bone in their body, they can’t possibly sound like me. Success! #WeeknightWriters

OMG sign me up! And a meal service! (It would also be great if these things were extremely low cost because modern life ugh.)

Since I mainly write YA, I try to keep the f-bombs in check, but…. #WeeknightWriters

Perry’s a high school junior, his parents Demi and Harry are divorced, and he wishes he had control over his power to affect the weather. And he’d really like to get closer to transfer student Logan without causing a tornado. (Again.) #WeeknightWriters

The worst version of this worry is when I worry they all sound like *me*…. #WeeknightWriters
