you're not going to find your soulmate on a dating app.

you're going to find him in a concealed magical institute where he's been incarcerated for multiple murders, with a magical shock collar around his neck and a more-than-slightly unhinged brightness to his eyes

Australian and/or UK readers who have read Splintered Sight--please consider taking a moment to review on the Amazon .au or .uk sites. Reviews come very seldom on those sites; a single review, no matter how pithy, goes a long way! 😊

And for everyone who has already reviewed: thank you!

purchased the bluray of Suicide Squad bc i loved it and wanted to make sure i had a copy at home for posterity (and in defiance of streaming services and their vagaries)

watched it again tonight after 3 or so years--and genuinely had forgotten HOW good it is

the very best thing about having an unhinged mmc is the plausible deniability, bc everyone always thinks that i identify with/ am representing myself with the sensible fmc*

*which is also true but mostly in the "chronic pain" area and not the "sensible" area, which is far less fun

only 1/3rd of the Kickstarter ordering to do (all the hardbacks) which means that i will finish by Monday! whoop! once the warehouse receives 'em, it's off into the post; hopefully everyone will get their book before the 25th of this month!

listening to Brave New World while doing 1/3rd of the ordering for my Kickstarter books is probably the best way to avoid computer-induced madness
