Bay leaf a little too tame for you?
Try Michael Bay Leaf!

I visited the website for this beer one time last year to make sure I spelled it right in a short story and I’ve been getting emails from them ever since.

Very proud that my reputation as a Constant Reader proceeds me at work.
In your defense, sleeping in is awesome.

All I’ll say is that this book has some amazing discriptions of the land and wildlife of Wyoming, as well as some deeply creepy descriptions of reanimated taxidermy.
A very cool read so far.
Holy crap!
I was catching up on writing podcasts and realized that my 100-word story, "Olin Harrow's Very Bad Halloween", was one for the runners up for @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social's 2025 drabble contest.
Listen to my story and many other great drabbles at open.spotify.com/episode/5Cfl...
Looking for a quick horror read to cram in between now and Halloween?
I got you.
Hellbound Bastards is a short, gory, cosmic horror novella set in the Old West.
Grab a copy and enjoy! a.co/d/gNi6ofL
2025 USA vibes…

After losing two people close to me this year, it was really heartening to see so many community members coming together to celebrate the lives of family and friends who are no longer with us.
Yeah. Just a downright, fun, insane movie that reminded me why I love horror so damn much.
First time in a long while I felt like the jump scares in a move were both earned and welcome!!!
Also…Aunt Gladys is an instantly classic horror icon.
Man, I thought you was prepared for that movie after watching “Talk to Me”, but “Bring Her Back” was on a whole other level.
I felt wrung out after that movie was over.
Check out Baskin (if you don’t mind subtitles), The Void, Black Mountain Side, and Caveat.

I haven't posted much about it, but I'm still writing. It's slow going, but still coming along bit by bit.
Luckily, I have a lot of cool stuff coming out later this year and in early 2026, so y'all will have some fun, weird stuff to read while a plug away at this novella.
I just finished reading that a little while ago. Hell of a book.

A very worn down guitar pick.
Do I use one of my nice, new, untouched guitar picks, or do I stick with ol’ stumpy here.

Found this on my weekend hike.
Some good with dude with a comically thick Maine accent told me not to bury anyhting here for some reason…
I’ve seen a lot of amazing things since I started hiking a few months ago, but the views along the Estero Bluffs Trial this weekend literally left me speechless.
20.10.2025 00:31 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0A friend who saw I’ve been getting into hiking told me to watch “A Walk in the Woods”.
This movie features a legendary combo of Robert Redford and Nick Nolte, and a Murderers Row of kick-ass actors including Nick Offerman, Emma Thompson, Mary Steenburgen, and Kristen Schaal.
This move rules.
I got to do a beautiful early-morning, costal hike then join hundreds of my neighbors and fellow community members at a protest all in one day.
Damn I love being a Californian.
IDK why I bother writing when I could be putting all my creative energy toward making a chess set out of cheese.
