T.S. Ferguson

Date night with my roommate, Ellis! (They’re so annoyed I keep calling it that. 😂)

Please book me for a freelance edit for your query, first ten pages, or manuscript so I can go take my boyfriend to see You Can See Everything. I've edited authors you know and love on books you've probably read and didn't know I worked on throughout my eleven years in publishing. bookmarkobrien.com

Sunni Gummi was a butch lesbian and I won’t be hearing counterarguments at this time (or ever).

There’s nothing like texting your landlord “hey, you put the rent increase where the preferential rent should be so it looks like the new rent is $0. Can we fix that before I sign?” to prove you’re an honest and upstanding member of society. I coulda had free rent! 😂😭

Roy: Oh shit, I almost lost my Geodude! Me: What game are you playing where you lose your Pokemon when they get knocked out? Roy: I’m playing a nuzlocke. Me: OH! Well then you better… … …nuzlocke in! 😜😜😜 Roy: 😒😒😒

Last night's livestream narrowed the video off to the left, for some reason, so this link is the same interview, but now you can see the whole screen. zurl.co/lJVhE

If you missed our event last night with @ryanlasala.bsky.social , you're in luck! We not only livestreamed it, it's on our podcast now. What a wonderful conversation about Ryan's path to publication, why he pivoted to horror writing, and some great reading recommendations.

A last-minute addition to our calendar and to his tour: we're hosting @thisone0verhere on Sunday! His book, Winterset Hollow, was just released this week and we're so excited to discuss it with him. Limited space available, so be sure to RSVP. All the info here: zurl.co/lOhaB

When you’re singing in your bedroom, your eyes closed cuz you’re really feeling it, and then you finish and open your eyes and your roommate is standing quietly in the doorway and (once you recover from jumping out of your skin) says “free concert!”

My Hocus Pocus tattoo is very happy that it is October again. 😁 (As am I)

I cannot recommend enough, if you are someone who likes to read scary stuff in October to get into the Halloween spirit, reading The Haunting of Hill House. I'd reread it every year if I had the time

I was let go from BOOM! Studios this afternoon. If you are looking for someone well-connected in the comic industry (in both media and PR), with experience in graphic design, audio and video editing, and much more. Please reach out. Email: Liammcguirejournalism@gmail.com.

You: What on earth are you doing?! Me (putting little shoes on the carrots): What? You told me to dress the salad!

My sister & niece were in a bad car accident the other day. No serious injuries but sis was still pretty banged up. She’s missing work while she recovers and SIL is missing work to take care of her, so they’re struggling a little. Sharing their GoFundMe in case anyone can help. gofund.me/4f6d71d42

Who’s gonna tell them? 😂

ISTFG

I finally started going for regular walks again and my body said “fuck you, have a head cold!” 😭 I was JUST sick! Can’t a girl get a break around here?!

Dolly! 😭

RIP, cereal bowl sized black coffee mug. For years you’ve done your part to make sure I’m awake, but now it’s your turn to rest in peace. I’m sorry I accidentally pulled you off the kitchen counter but thank you for being empty when you passed. Just one more blessing from you that I cannot repay. ❤️

Why are my Instagram reels all men I have a crush on (who told you, IG?!), Benito Skinner (who I do not have a crush on but I can see why IG thinks I would), and one eccentric lady I would totally be friends with?

LITERALLY THANK YOU JFC she's a fucking demon and will not and has never been anything but vile to trans people of any age. nothing that she said in her recent statements are in support of trans people, they're a fancy way of calling us unwell. that's it. that's the whole thing.

do not fall for this

This isn't a "surprising message of support for trans adults". This is a bigot whose arm is being twisted into doing public relations damage control by the media network that invested billions into a franchise she's been poisoning with hate for the last decade.

Does anyone else’s partner (or platonic bed-sharing roommate who you used to date or whatever) sometimes go to bed later than they usually do and completely throw off your perception of what time it is? Or is it just me?

Pop culture check: If I said "Certainly not the hand-walking queer!" to you, would you know what that was a reference to without Googling it?

Drag queen name idea: Jella C.

I saw the name Schlitter was trending and I didn’t know that was an athlete’s last name, so I accidentally misread it and thought it said “Shitler” and was about Trump bc he’s a fascist who poops his pants. OOPS!

I am so tired I can barely focus on anything. I swear to god, if I get stranded in Missouri I’m going to lose my mind!

Stuck at the PDX airport for ALMOST 24 HOURS STRAIGHT - until tomorrow at 6AM (I arrived at like 8AM today) - because @southwestair-inc.bsky.social cancelled my flight home on the CHANCE of thunderstorms in NYC and won’t even give me a one-night hotel or food voucher. I’m PISSED!

Why, PW Children's Bookshelf? Without the book announcements, more than half the email was advertisements.

Not me referencing Grindr during a writers conference panel! 😭 I shouldn’t be allowed out in public!

Drag king name idea: Open Mike

Drag queen name idea: Psychokiller Jess Kesay (que c’est)

Drag queen name idea: Honey Labubu

Drag King name idea: Pablo Matic

Drag queen name idea: Touch Graciella

I was sick for a week, thought I felt better, then did a (too strong) edible a friend gave me on Saturday. I thought I had a weed hangover or it was still affecting me but now I think I’ve still been sick this whole time. I’m still feeling woozy and sleeping a lot almost a week later. Any thoughts?

I came up with a joke about Hector, but it got dragged.

Boomer parents of Gen X and Millennial kids: We can all be shitty parents and they’ll have no idea! What are they going to do, compare notes? The internet becoming a thing in the late 90s: Ooh, I’m telllllllling!

Drag queen name idea (inspired by Sister Act 2): Phyllis with the Light of Day

Happy Birthday to Khloe Kardashian, Tobey Maguire, JJ Abrams, Bianca Del Rio, Emma D’arcy, Ed Westwick, Chandler Riggs, Sam Claflin, Drake Bell, Tobey Froud (the baby from Labyrinth) and me.

I have to raise $500 more in a week so I can pay rent and I’d rather work for it than post a GFM (though no judgment to those who need to do so). If anyone needs a query or synopsis review, help polishing their writing sample, wants a video call/facetime with an industry pro, etc, please DM me.
