Been watching the previous seasons of Stranger Things before Season 5 debuts. It may be hard to believe, but Joyce Byers' car makes me nostalgic for my red '79 Pinto. (It was used.) Despite being made after the explosion issues were fixed, I called it Cherrybomb. What? I was a kid.

Still raising funds to save us before work kicks in next year. Still a lot on our plate. But we are fighting for it. Tess will likely never take commissions again, so my job is to make sure we get the back log out and everyone has access to digital versions of her work.
Guess who has two thumbs and has to raise 1k by the 28th And 3k by the 10th? Work will not begin again for me until next year so I have to try to save us while also handling shipping and re-lettering. We need help. Storage is at risk first. New sales incoming.

Share a '90s movie you think deserves more love.
Double checked the date. 1991! I am convinced their big mistake was marketing it to the DIE HARD audience instead of the MOONLIGHTING audience.
It's a romp, not a full-blown actioner.
No one will ever convince me this isn't a delight.

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.
When the sales drop, please remember that!

Hey, I'm getting the hell out of Phoenix soon, back to my beloved Pacific Northwest. Selling off as much as possible before the move.
I've got a bunch of CHEW stuff for sale on ebay. I rarely do (American) shows anymore, so here's a chance for signed stuff.

Writers — the ones you know and love, the ones you think of as successful — have sources of income outside that book you read. Most of us are a half-step ahead of the landlord at best, and struggling to maintain health insurance. We figure out other ways to make a buck.
I wrote 12 novels.
Hit #2 on the NYT bestseller list.
Optioned three works for film and TV.
Have close to 20 short fiction works in anthos.
I have 35,000 BSky followers.
Have you seen my jewelry shop that keeps my lights on.

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI”
when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Feeling extremely validated & relieved. After finally getting stimulant meds for ADHD, I'm reacting to it like I have ADHD (ie, I'm not bouncing off the walls and completely frenetic, as a neurotypical might be). After a long journey, feel like I've finally got a shot at getting my shit together.

Hey, there! It's your weekly(ish) reminder that I have an online bookshop where you can pick up some of the stuff I've written! I'll admit, as the year winds down, a little extra in the bank would be very helpful.

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
