Hello Dears, it's Creature day.

I wasn't able to get this email out before I went live, but to those who made it anyway, thank you. I swear I'll get myself setup to be able to chat properly one day soon.

I was only 30 minutes late tonight (this is a record for lateness that I am learning to accept). I didn't charge my phone and it was dead. You just can't take me anywhere.

Here is the email you missed, bookmark it for next week. Tattoo it across your skull then when you look in the mirror, smile, because I've saved us both so much time and trouble:

Tonight 8 pm ET-ish, if all goes well and I can connect all my cords properly, I'll be live on Twitch.

Please see the Creature den Radio Discord for more information. Check your previous email for the link. They are of value.

Tonight's Preview:

1. 8-9 pm: live painting & people chat on Twitch/Discord. We'll be battling tough topics such as: Why do I not have a name on Instagram? Where did it go? When did it go? A glitch? Or, as I presume, Mark Zuckerberg personally stole my name on Instagram. Please keep an eye out for my name if you happen to stumble across it. I'll check back in later.
2. 9-? pm: Zoom open by invite-only. Bring something you're working on, or just come hang out. (Recorded for posterity and no creeps) My friend Richard will be on, hopefully, unless he's stuck writing his book (which is great, btw, you should preorder it if you like great books), and we will discuss things like his book writing process, books, bookstores, his love of books, my love of smelling books, my downright refusal to read right now, and likely many other things.

Song recos? Submit here for next week. You never know. I might play them. I may not.

xo,
Mel

What are we even doing here? Stay tuned. I wrote something but I'm rewriting it now and if I don't get this email out by EOD TODAY, ON CREATURE DAY, GERALD IS GOING TO BLOW A GASKET.

PSS.t. Thanks for opening my emails. It helps new people get my updates instead of them going to spam. My emails are essentially Spam Checker fodder with all these darn links, so it means a lot.

PSSS.t. I joined Bluesky (I know, I know, I've been warned), and I am learning a fascinating amount very quickly about what the hell people are talking about and what is happening. The hardest part is navigating "Is this real? All of it? Er..... What of it?" <- Bizzare-o. Find me here, or frankly, I wouldn't bother. This list is VIP AF, and next week I have plans.

Final words:

Which 1890s basketball player would YOU love to see on a t-shirt? jk, let's talk about things that matter right now, like the ICE shooting near the Bronx today. What the fuck is happening in the United States? Please let me know.

More conversations this weekend. Byeeeee. Fuck you, Gerald. 5 mins to spare.
