Walking up the street with TJ, I saw an old woman setting these dolls up on this little ledge behind the elementary school. They've been there all day. No one's touched them.

@Wisteraverse You are lucky. Your emotional support celebrity is still alive. Mine was Robin Williams.

My story “Burn Patterns” appears in the newly released PATTERNS anthology from Bag of Bones Press—now available in paperback on Amazon.

It’s a dark, tightly wound story about grief, memory, and the traces we leave behind—sometimes literal, sometimes not. Proud to share the pages with some twisted, brilliant voices in themed horror fiction.

If you like your fiction strange, psychological, and a little scorched, grab a copy and let me know what lingers.

@AdameMedia Honestly, I couldn’t care less what Lindsey Graham does in his personal life—if it makes him happy, good. What bothers me is that he’s been bending over for Trump shamelessly since 2016.

The newest member of the family. TJ!

@Michell33650674 I hate Trump as much as the next critically thinking person—but that headline claiming Kamala Harris won the election due to rigged machines is pure garbage. A minor local lawsuit ≠ a bombshell. Disinfo’s getting sloppy. We’re not idiots.

@ericjing_ai A Gmail replacement that requires Gmail to function is the kind of Orwellian tech irony that should come with its own laugh track.

@dishsoapquart Let’s be honest: when you pour your guts into a piece and get a form rejection (or worse, a vague one trying to sound personal), nobody’s instinct is to say, “Thanks so much, I just love your taste!”
