August is historically one of my worst months for sales and it is even worse this year. I just put my Fern Fox planters up for preorder. My big Mossback planters are often imitated but you can get the real thing from me in full detail. Sales, shares and tips appreciated. 💜

Certainly MORTAL KOMBAT, which taught me that a handful of people on a leaky boat could save the world.
What movie has had the most impact on your actual literal life? Not necessarily your favorite, but the one that’s most influenced or shaped something in your trajectory?

Thank you very much to everyone who’s been DMing and commenting about loving my story in The End of the World As We Know It. If you want more Caribbean mayhem, scenes by the ocean, and horror with an emotional punch, I have a longer story available! Hah.

Next year's WorldCon is in Los Angeles, and the theme appears to be Westward Expansion or possibly Manifest Destiny. The guests are referred to as Pioneers and the venue as The Frontier. This year the awards were swept by Indigenous writers. The choice is stunning in its ugliness.
