It's that time once again! Marigold's Favorite Song Day 🍁🍂🔔

Stocking up on essentials to ride out the heat wave...

Me: Ah, a cool drizzle. What a lovely... Rain:

Sunset was gorgeous and fiery tonight, but evening really brought the drama!

I sold a guitar yesterday that I never play, and today I took the guitar money and bought myself a couple pairs of new Skechers, and I feel like this has the vibe of a really dumb O. Henry story. "I sold my guitar to buy you new shoes!" 🤗 "Oh, I...I sold my feet to buy you music lessons." 🥲

This humidity has me like:

The only solution to this problem is MORE DATA CENTERS.

You're pen pals with Roy Kent. Every letter is just "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...." #badfanficideas

I lucid dreamed unintentionally for the first time this morning. Running around a parking garage looking for a thing. I thought, "All I do is run around til I wake up. I want to find the thing this time!" Found it around the next corner (a tiny spaceship) then got woken up by a loud tow truck. 🙃

I have a couple WIPs, and, um... nothing? But I'm a pantser. One protagonist just inherited a house that was HQ for a swanky 1970s cult. Another protagonist is talking her way into scrubbing dishes and sweeping floors at school for dark magic, so she can rescue someone. #horrorwriterschat Q2

I'm Marigold. I write mostly weird horror with medium to low gore. Space in general freaks me out, but I also love it. A meteor shower to me is creepier than an eclipse. Where have those meteors been, what did they encounter, and what are they bringing back to us? #horrorwriterschat Q1

A player of a game designed by a solo dev found out upcoming information about the game by asking Google AI to "speculate." The information was only stored in the game dev's private Google Docs. www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c...

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Anybody else notice lately that when you buy food packaged in resealable bags, some of the bags just don't seal? I've had this happen in the past couple weeks with Bob's hot cereal, Temptations cat treats and TJ's dried fruit. Companies really out there just not giving one single shit anymore.

Somebody across the street has been spinning 80s pop hits for going on three hours now, and I am LIVING FOR IT! 📻

Everybody's always singing the praises of a dry wit, while my clammy, moist wit gets no love at all.

Meanwhile, I can't even get the courtesy of a form rejection from agents who requested fulls and partials from me more than a year ago...

I started a #snailmailclub (posthouse.se/glowinthedark) I also made this little animation. It's two seconds long. It took me FIVE HOURS. I'd forgotten why I don't do animation very often... 💀 (Audio is from The Giant Claw. And also me eating chips.)

I do not want another Carrie remake. I want Mike Flanagan to make a proper miniseries for my very favorite Stephen King story -- The Langoliers. Samantha Sloyan should play Laurel Stevenson. And Kate Siegal was incredible in House of Usher, so she should be a gender-bent Craig Toomey.

The unladylike goose honk that I uttered when I saw this image...

You never know who you might bump into...

My cat sounds like a door slowly opening into a haunted house.

#QueryTracker needs a checkbox on the query submission form where you can let the agent know you're fine with them responding with just, "No thanks."

Posting this for no reason.

Final Destination, but the protagonist already knows they have precognition. They also have telekinesis. So, it would be like Tina fighting Jason in Ft13th: Part VII, but they'd intuit all of Death's Rube Goldbergian schemes. Also the movie takes place on a gigantic cruise ship. In this essay I will

I'm at the market, and this lady in front of me is buying like 10 bags of chocolate chips. She tells me unprompted that she eats them all day every day as sugar-free snacks. They're sweetened with xylitol AND monkfruit. My digestive tract could never. It would be like Raging Waters in there. 🌊💀🌊

I wonder what he's dreaming about... #caturday #catsofbluesky

🐯Mountain Lion Watch 2026🐯 Mountain lion sighted about a mile and a half from my apt. I can hear and see helicopters circling. My cat just escaped the litter box, sling-shotted a poo off his butt, and ran under the bed.

It could've been anyone.

I'm pretty sure Kermit the Frog is actually some type of salamander.
