lore: i used this cat in the book. it's a real cat that lives in my neighborhood. my daughter took an extreme liking to him, so much so that her first word was his name: sticky. so now for the rest of her life she's narratively tethered to this cat who breaks into my crawlspace: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7a9238c0d42ef70543179f888b268e24db5373f0893c97b45131a1489ec4d1e5.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/406a4c63b43c4e39413239e8fb772ed791dcc570bb3f500054a6905defbfd63a.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/bce8cc30e564c986a5378f5c12a26a6401ecc75f34ed868e270d59b47b8ab653.file

read once that theres a greek island where they believe there is something nefarious about being born on christmas: its like attempting to usurp Christ’s birthday, or making yourself equal to him, so if a kid is born on christmas they hide them and say they were born the next day

thats my tale. i really enjoy doing the holiday gifts thing as i like facilitating people feeling appreciated via gifts, which can often feel impersonal. so the main thing this year is the kids book. we got to #1 in our section already. linked again below. thanks for perusing. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9ef7f14f05f7d6da0c6ba2edfca65b005974c81f77762f43af63ecb9a161e71e.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ae970303152cc46f7f9a9d090b65f2f6b705ad395d1f758973641dc6d780fd3f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b1e79d1655546ed2e57525eaa525c6cb8930bf3c8e6713bc217e04ff260a26d1.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/81e689eada5a4911ed4a5bac0eb9a9b9a8342acb510512d8fdde79fa9f1f260e.file

oh yeah, i also have two or three more of these packages left: my first four books (everything but the new kid’s book) signed. i’ll ship these out… tomorrow or the day after, to make sure they get there in time for christmas (in the US, cant predict outside). thats linked below: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9dda620614af52ffdc9670aed4d8a844ff550c5ca8298023289f59cb572de4b8.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b55993e89a8c3957f9cd7c2d42f1e9690cd236f4099b3848e1cd257135b3f098.file

lastly, this is kind of a deep cut, but if you personally know anyone already into my work and vibe (very cool thanks), my first book is ‘channel one’. this is a more… chaotic manifestation of my stuff. it feels like a first book - a lot less sane (not saying this as a negative) https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c73233280eb5ac5cb2adca2137159a6c06d14ac6b0326760afbcdab826d703d1.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9ca35f8c824a6e769e6769cc407fbb0b3e247dde7ebb9a1c6fdbd7765e77316e.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/03acb728542318985550705d5313ddeb364610abe86a09c41c912f691e487697.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/0440883ce719c2ee4eddb4b6aadfdf1d065aac9c75e5e6f8c77fe65e019cb137.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5e4fa8e9b04160403b2e1519034600171e9bc195caee3052ac3de9ada4b148d5.file
