Today is World Wombat Day so I must again say that my favourite ever blessing is an Indigenous Australian one and it goes "may the wombat of happiness snuffle through your underbrush"

This is a banger. Where is the duck ghost story?
rosemarymosco.com Rosemary Mosco @rosemarymosco.com · Oct 21
Spooky bird stories.
A four-panel comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In each panel, it's a dark night and a bird holding a flashlight is telling a story to other birds who are listening. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, a screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Little sketch of Merg from "Duck Quest" that I drew today.
A pen sketch of a handsome common merganser duck dressed in shirt and trousers holding a sword and shield.

Hello! I'm Travis. I've recently published a fantasy novel (Reliquaries of the Flame Wolf) as part of the Inkfort Press Publishing Derby 2024. Here to meet other writers, readers, and talk about my quest to become a fantasy author.

A lot of new folks on bluesky I guess, and lots of folks posting the 'rules' but folks, there is actually only one rule, a law actually, and that is you have to buy my book. It's not even a state or local law, it's a federal thing, nothing I can do about it. www.amazon.com/Warden-Danie...

My husband and I are moving so we can save money while I’m looking for work, but of course moving isn’t cheap either, so if anyone wants to send a cup of coffee or two, that would truly help ♥️

The people of the Bull don't think it's fair that the packs of Bala rely on the 12 Elemental Wolves for magic. They want to take it from the source, even though raw magic destroys whoever uses it.

Wouldn't it be great to have magic. I'd like the powers of the Space Wolf and be able to open portals to other places. It would make travel so quick and cheap! What magic power would you like to have and how would you use it?

Hi all,

From tomorrow, we're going to put up notices for our events on Bluesky. We're a volunteer-run club, and absolutely rely on word of mouth for people to find out about us - every repost and like is very valuable to us.

We have a really good line up for 12 November - stay tuned!

Thank you!

I know October is a popular month for book releases, but I've had very few authors (in comparison) sign up for the November new release feature

Is November really that unpopular a month to launch a book?

Anyway, if you have a book coming out in November or later, let me know. Details in quote post
