If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.

It amuses me that I have thirteen copies of DRACULA DAILY for sale at the bookstore this year.

Can't wait until Saturday. Planning to do the email read along as well as listening to RE: DRACULA again.

A man walking with his girlfriend in the "distracted boyfriend" meme style; the girl is in a white Greek toga, the man is turned around looking at Medusa in a red dress. The man is turned to stone.

What if we had the story of Medusa all wrong? What if she were a beauty harassed incessantly by gods and mortals alike, who pleaded with Athena for help? So Athena gave her snakes for hair to bite groping hands, and a gaze that will turn predators to stone. The free garden statuary is a bonus.

i get messages sayin 'i want to be the next chuck tingle' and yes this is flattering but buckaroo it is not the question. the question is: 'how can you be the next YOU?' the truth is there is nobody better at proving love in YOUR UNIQUE WAY than YOU can. you hold such incredible power. use it

Jadzia Dax and Kor hugging: "Curzon, my beloved old friend." "I'm Jadzia now." "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

It's also the day for my favorite meme!

Adorable! Look at that wee face!

The AIDS activists in the 80s danced their hearts out on the weekends. The dancing was the reason for the activism, coming together as a community and celebrating queer joy in the face of darkness.

We need trans joy now more than ever.

If the revolution doesn’t have dancing, I’m not coming.

If you're hitting #Boskone this year, make sure you visit the dealers' room and spend some money.

I stopped doing the show in part because it was a poor ROI -- all expense and no profit -- so don't neglect the indie creatives, make it worth their while to be there.

Dear bluesky friends,
From the Yukon, I am sending joy, hope and positivity.

PSA:

1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly

2. If you are silly, you must stay silly

2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

Find joy where you can, show support for people on the margins where you can, and let’s help each other through, that is what I am saying.

Absolutely this.

Crime fiction writer and warrior for abused children Andrew Vachss said something that has stuck with me since I first read it. (I'm paraphrasing). You can sympathize with how someone becomes a monster, without sympathizing with the monster.

Agreed. I'm looking into Storygraph.

Took two naps yesterday and had dinner at 10pm. That's exactly how I wanted to celebrate.

Finally feeling vaguely human after two weeks of head and throat congestion. Gonna watch the animated Alistair Sims A CHRISTMAS CAROL over lunch.

I feel this in the depths of my soul.
