I read a lot. Sometimes I make things from yarn or thread, ink and graphite, or paint. Sometimes I teach. Sometimes I write. A lot of the time, I sleep.

Any unsolicited email that includes something like "I’m part of a private readers community about 2000+ active readers and social media reviewers. We’re not some forced review for hire thing. We just spotlight books that actually deserve to be seen, and yours hit that nerve." is a scam. I'm sorry.

Today's mood in a nutshell.
Wake up to news that "the asshole is dead" and spent 5 minutes trying to find out which specific asshole they're talking about, then get upset because it's not the specific asshole I wanted dead.

I started crocheting a blanket for my father yesterday. He wanted ridiculously cheap acrylic. Like $4/ball cheap.
Which is like... I have paid more for a single skein of yarn than I did for an entire blanket's worth of scratchy acrylic for this man. But he picked it out! That's what he wanted! 😭

Hey folks. Been reading Mi'Sel Joe's memoir the last few days.
This one's must-read for Newfoundlanders especially, because it's a memoir that was taken orally of the longtime Mi'kmaq chief of Miawpukek First Nation (Conne River).
It's very down-to-earth & brings it all home for me.

My 200th book was Truth Telling by Michelle Good. Highly recommend, especially for Canadians who take their Indigenous anti-racism seriously. Be prepared to feel uncomfortable, and to sit with some seriously ugly truth.

I'm gonna stay in my room reading and avoid the loud relatives coming to visit.
Lemme tell you, perimenopause, PMDD, AND ADHD your GP refuses to assess you for... Hellish combination.
Unless you've got four legs, fur, and a tail, leave me alone. It's not that hard, I promise.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Tormented Nexus as a cautionary tale
Social Media CTO: "Don't Create The Torment Nexus" is actually a metaphor for how mean people are to me for wanting to implement the Torment Nexus

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

During tonight’s Trick-or-Treating, our 3-year-old got more and more excited.
“More houses! More candy!”
Until he suddenly looked to the sky and shouted (verbatim):
“Can I eat the moon!?”
Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, little one. Be the cosmic horror you want to see in the world.

I was just laid off for the second time this year. It's going to be a hard fall and winter. My safety net, as is the case for too many of us especially these days, is the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers. Anything helps.

The creature is being temporarily moved to a new enclosure for both environmental enrichment and canine companionship, and is greatly enjoying the novelty of being transported.
...I gotta go dogsit for a bit & Dad's driving, which is nice 'cause the hour+ drive to their place is a bitch by myself.

It's Halloween, and the entire first Episode of Scarlet Hollow is free for you to explore on Steam.
Its branching narrative web is so intricate that you'll see less than 15% of the game in a single playthrough.
So get lost for a bit, and see where the road takes you.

Okay, look, I tried the whole "treat yourself like a creature in a zoo" thing tonight, and not only did it work but it made me smile.
Probably 'cause I was walking around the house saying things like, "the creature's nest is getting cluttered, should probably clean it off so they can sleep better."

I have not been taking care of myself the last few days.
Like had to force myself out of bed kind of thing. But I did. Even had food! And water!
But hey, I finished 3 books? Or was it 4.... Anyway, depression is a bitch!
Tomorrow I'm due for some serious fur therapy. (Aka cuddling with Lucy.)

Update: finished Scaredy Cat.
Not as bloody as expected, still a good time. Review forthcoming.
Also expect reviews for Fall For Us (Halloween dark romance RH) and Call the Shots (NA college hockey romantica).
I'm at 199/200 books for the year. Go me.

How the FUCK did I forget AJ Merlin has a new book out? It's in the damned upcoming releases tab in my reading tracker spreadsheet. 🤦🏻♀️
Anyway, if anyone needs me, I'll be cleansing my palate with some actual *quality* horror erotica.
Sorry Tourist Season, you have to wait until Scaredy Cat is done.

But also why the fuck do these girls keep waking up in canoes in the lake?
"Looks like she's the only one left alive," say the cops.
Meanwhile she's having a breakdown over the hallucination? of someone popping out the lake and drowning her.
