Learning over the last 3 years: 1. Publishers don't have your back if someone steals your work, as long as that someone has deep enough pockets. Turns out copyright stuff was bluffing all along. 2. Writers' organisations are susceptible to AI bullshit and bad faith actors. 3. Governments. Pfah!

This is maybe the perfect example of @gregpak.net bit that replacing every instance of “AI” with “cocaine” gets to the deeper truth of the attitude.

There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.

If you want to hear two Matts talk about just about everything other than the book they're supposed to be talking about before doing their best to decipher said book, this is the podcast episode for you.

I seem to have landed at 1200 words and the end of the book, which is a great compromise. :D So I've finished not only my 64th book overall, but somehow, my 4th book this *calendar year*... o.O

CE (Catie) Murphy@cemurphy.bsky.social · 9h ago

All right, I'm in no particular hurry here but I need somewhere between 1300 and 'finish the book' today so I should get started on that to see where I land on that scale, huh.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

All of this. If you want to teach kids to critique literature, that works just as well with something that's fun to read. Probably better. (This is one of my hot button topics but apparently it's one for all my friends too, so *gestures*)

Kingfisher & Wombat@tkingfisher.com · 23h ago

I swear to God, part of the problem of literacy is that we make kids read SO MANY books like this. Of course they’re going to associate reading with misery! We put them in a Skinner box and shock them when they read, what did people THINK would happen?

What better way to celebrate Amelia Shadows Volume 2 and a belated National Coloring Book Day than with the official Amelia Shadows Coloring Book from @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social! Color in your favorite mystical characters and locations from Amelia Shadows here: https://bit.ly/49dAwsN

At the bookstore, I waved over a guy with an astronaut tattoo and a pride necklace. "I'm not your demographic," he said. "My book is about a female biker gang in space rescuing a gay prince," I said. "The sequel is about a sex-positive sexbot." "In space?" "In space." "I AM your demographic!"

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

I'd actually never seen larimar before. It looks like the patterns of sunlight broken up by small waves that are cast across the bottom of a swimming pool. Gorgeous stuff.

Almost 85%! Keep spreading the word, friends! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/uncannymagazine/uncanny-magazine-year-13-the-space-unicorn-believes-in-you

Small personal win: Some of my @obamafoundation.bsky.social photos were featured in Architectural Record. It means a lot that the architects felt my images helped tell the story of this project. A few photos are in the digital feature, and I’m looking forward to seeing the August print edition

A young Black woman with an American accent but who was Irish born (just like my son!) overheard us talking about Marvel Rivals on the train & we ended up chatting, eventually about what you'd do if thrown back a couple hundred years in time, as is perfectly natural for any chat with strangers.

Go get you some shark loving!

I am sure you will agree that Ben Baldwin has given us another magnificent cover for Dan Mackmain’s latest adventure. Dan and Fin are off to Ireland – a trip I know many readers have been keen to see. The Green Man’s Debt will be published by Wizard’s Tower Press on 10th September 2026. #BookSky

Catie's books are super fun. While this is a shifter romance, it's a bit more action packed that the general trend there (I've read bits because I'm on her patreon) And honestly, don't you need to own a book with a cover this fabulous?

She is sitting here to protest my being at the desk and not in the comfy chair, but a weakness in the strategy is that it makes it way too easy for me to lean in for head kisses. #catsofbluesky
