Most people prep for a storm by buying French toast ingredients.

We prepped by installing a new TV.

Not on purpose. The old one wouldn’t power on this morning…

Are you at #boskone ? Come wake up with taekwondo in Marina 1 at 10am Saturday and Sunday! No experience required. Kick, punch, and break some boards if you’d like!

I still have to sell the rest of the collection, but I'm happy these cards are going to folks who will love them like we did thirty years ago.

A picture of a heavily played Black Lotus card (Unlimited run) from Magic the Gathering. The card has a white border and brown for an artifact, and a picture of a black lotus.

A few weeks ago, I got to talking about Magic: The Gathering with young friends who play now. I casually mentioned I had a Black Lotus (and other old cards). After bringing it to show them, I finally bit the bullet and sold that and several others (Mox, and time cards).

One hour left!!!

I've gotten two of these while running Twinned. They're definitely among the scarier spam I've seen on there in a decade of running campaigns. Kickstarter sent out an e-mail warning that it's spam and not real.

Both mine started with an initial "We've identified a problem" message. (1/2)

plenty of diverse representation, check it out!

The Twinned Trilogy: Contemporary Fantasy with a Queer Twist Danger lurks in the shadows of Pine Hills University, and it's up to the magically Talented students to face the threat...

The Kickstarter for my trilogy ends at 10:30am tomorrow (Wed Jan 28) and we are just over $500 from our second stretch goal. If you want a fun fantasy with college students and magic and shapeshifting and the world having a teeny tiny major problem that they need to fix, not to mention... (1/2)

Today I learned that if you leave your iPhone with the power cord draped over the screen, it will activate Edit Homescreen for you and wiggling it will move your icons around. Which is annoying AF.

Want a sample of the books? We have those! But be alert 🚨 for spoilers!

We are now under 24 hours to go!!

Graphic showing the author, a dark haired person with but and glasses, and the book cover, with magical symbols and a sexy knife, and the text Author Event, Bound by the Blood by Cecilia Tan, Date Changed for snow, Friday January 39th, 6:30 pm, register in advance online. Pandemonium Books, 4 Pleasant Street, Cambridge.

Please spread the word! Pandemonium Books and I have decided we really have to reschedule the book launch party that was to be this Sunday bc of the threat of serious snow. Thankfully they have an opening next week. So it'll be Friday, Jan 30th instead!

Come on down <3

I think you’re right! I swear I saw him on a still for one of the episodes. I’m not starting it tonight, but I wrote it down so I do not forget.

I just found The Great Canadian Baking Show on the Roku channel and there are 8 seasons for me to watch. 64 episodes of what I’m assuming will be as happy and fun as the original British or the American versions have been.

A snowy scene with buried lawn furniture and a lump where the fire pit used to be.

The yardstick says 16” as of this morning with on and off snow and another few inches probable throughout the day. Been a while since we had a storm like this. I am glad I can work from home today.

Lawn furniture with probably six to eight inches of snow on and under it.

I’d say 6-8” so far and supposedly the hardest yet to come over the next twelve hours. At least I get to work from home tomorrow! Stay safe out there, everyone.

A graphic entitled Get to Know Into the Split by Tris Lawrence. In the center is a book covered, Twinned Book 3, showing two people standing side by side, from the back, as they look toward three gnarled old trees in a deeply shadowed forest. Around the image, arrows point to text. The text is. 1. dimension jumping; 2. dreams (and Dreams) have power); 3. friends and found family; 4. established mlm relationship (includes an mlm pride flag); 5. seeking a place of safety; 6. happy ending!; and 7. ...college coursework + saving the multiverse.

There’s a lot I can’t say about the last book of the Twinned trilogy because shh, spoilers! But here’s a taste of what awaits the intrepid reader. Our Kickstarter is for the first-ever print edition of Into the Split. Become a backer and get the whole trilogy! www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

A graphic entitled "Get to Know Missed Fortunes by Tris Lawrence." In the center is a book cover, second in a trilogy called "Twinned," with artwork showing two people falling from an exploding, burning tower. Around the graphic, arrows point to short descriptions and a few pride flags. The descriptions read: 1. sapphic relationship, with the wlw pride flag; 2. using tarot to predict the future; 3. old friends, new awkwardness; 4. asexual main character, with the ace pride flag; 5. dreams, signs, and portents; 6. twins (one is trans!) with the trans pride flag; and 7. the Shadows are growing darker.

Missed Fortunes is the second book of the Twinned trilogy. We’re currently running a Kickstarter to fund this trilogy. If you haven’t taken a peek at it yet, there’s no time like the present! (Especially because the campaign ends in 4 days!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

A graphic entitled Get to Know Commit to the Kick by Tris Lawrence. In the center is a book cover featuring a white muscled man in a purple football jersey and helmet, flanked by a bear and a dragon, both roaring. Around this are arrows and text and two pride flags. 1. aromantic main character, accompanied by the aro pride flag; 2. queer ensemble cast; 3. college clubs and sports; 4. mlm relationship, with the mlm pride flag; 5. shapeshifting!; 6. omg they were teammates; and 7. ...an unknown threat to the whole world?!

Commit to the Kick is the first book of the Twinned trilogy. The whole trilogy is funding NOW on Kickstarter! CHECK IT OUT: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

A photograph of shadows stretched over a night-dark cobbled street. Text overlaid on the image reads: From "Into the Split" by Tris Lawrence. Humans thought that if they shut out Talents, they could shut out the Shadows as well. They're wrong. The Shadows are more likely to prey on people with Talent, but in a pinch, they'll eat anyone. On Kickstarter NOW thru Jan. 28!

Our Kickstarter has one week left! In the last book of the TWINNED trilogy by @tryslora.bsky.social , Nikolai and his boyfriend Seth are on the run from Shadows. It takes a magical mishap that threatens multiple worlds to bring them and the PHU crew into contact. www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

A graphic made over a background of a photograph of deep space showing stars and a gas cloud. Text on the graphic reads: Recruitment for authors to write stories for Duck Prints Press's next anthology "Beyond the Galactic Tide" featuring stories starring asexual characters in outer space settings is open NOW through January 31st 2026!

Are you a fanfiction author? Have you been wanting to break into publishing your original fiction? We're looking for contributors to BEYOND THE GALACTIC TIDE, our next anthology. What's it about? TL:DR... ACE IN SPACE! For the long version, visit our website: duckprintspress.com/beyond-the-g...

A graphic over a white background, featuring an ice cream sundae with a cherry and whipped cream on top and a couple brownie chunks and vanilla ice cream, as well as several hearts in striped like the wlw pride flag, and text. The text reads: An Excerpt from Missed Fortunes by Tris Lawrence. The spice of cinnamon explodes on Carolyn's tongue, enhanced by vanilla and cream. She licks the whipped cream from Serina's finger, savoring it as Serina withdraws, her cheek flushed. Carolyn's tongue tingles. "It's good." "It's the best," Serina corrects her softly, licking the last of the cream from her fingertip before she picks up her spoon and digs in.

The middle book of the Twinned trilogy (currently Kickstarting!) stars Carolyn - biromantic, asexual, with a Talent that uses Tarot cards to predict probable futures. Her Talent is changing, but sometimes what's most confusing is how her friend Serina is acting... www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

To answer that, we have to go back several decades, and look at various different influences including a high school friend, another serial online, and of course, fanfic!

Read about my journey on Tumblr (buff.ly/N1a1FaY ) or Pillowfort (buff.ly/QEV5ymw ).

I write the Welcome to PHU series as serialized novels online--we are collecting and editing the books to publish with Duck Prints Press (see the Twinned Kickstarter happening now--link in a thread!).

But why did I start out writing serialized fiction?

A graphic featuring a stylized bear roaring before a silhouette of trees and a night sky. Text reads, An Excerpt from Commit to the Kick by Tris Lawrence. Alaric hunkers down on the line of scrimmage, calls the play on the third down, and waits for the snap from the center. He loops up, sees Marks coming toward him. He won't let Marks take this away from his team. The bear within him burgeons forth. It's the bear that sends him lumbering into Marks, throwing him roughly to one side before Alaric sinks back into humanity and rushes ahead. He hears the whistle, sees the flag, and he skids to a stop. The bear. Fuck. Kickstarting until January 28th!

Our Kickstarter for the TWINNED trilogy by Tris Lawrence is off to a great start! Today, meet Alaric, the aro gay shapeshifting college freshman lead of the first book, COMMIT THE KICK.

You can learn more about the whole trilogy by visiting our campaign page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

I am going to use it as a great excuse to buy a nice mug at the farmer’s market this morning. Silver lining of getting to support a local craftsperson!
