Yeah, you'd know all about being horny, wouldn't you Matt?

Matt Ufford@mattufford.bsky.social · 13h ago

the discourse is wild, man. bluesky is like the least horny place on the entire internet, then one director was like "I cut nude scenes out of my sex movie" and INSTANTLY everyone demanded nudity. and frankly I'm here for it. let's see it all hanging out, baby. for art. respectfully of course.

For the Mahar, the appearance of a soft-limbed, clawless human disturbs their concept of star patterns. For Maya Chang, it is life-changing. www.amazon.com/Star-Pattern...

There's a story where the Burry Man is protagonist in my collection. Because look at him! *Throws more bait...* Also strongly featuring Mari Lwd and a cast of folkloric characters. And it's set at Eastercon. www.newconpress.co.uk/info/book.as...

I finally got around to seeing the Burry Man, who parades through South Queensferry each August!

We're no' #Haverin - here's proof(s) that our anniversary anthology is on its way! Edited by Brian M. Milton, Heather Valentine and Peter Morrison, Haverin is stuffed with tales celebrating 40 years of the GSFWC. We can't wait to share our stories with you! #GSFWC40 #Haverin

Patrick and I have been up since 5:30 with Pebbles at the emergency vet for a glucose crash. Thank goodness she’s now stabilized. But good lord, the fees even with pet insurance - ! If you’ve been curious about any of my books, today would be a great day to snap one up! stephanieburgis.com

I won’t use the popular acronym for these people because they are not “feminist”. They’re nasty little crypto-fascists and I’m holding fire and being generous there. They can fuck right off and then fuck back off again.

Is it too meta?

I blurbed this gorgeous novella, so I was lucky enough to read an early version of "These Hollow Bodies." Guys, @pegasusunder.bsky.social has created something so beautiful and visceral and tactile and full of art, there’s nothing like it, I swear to gods. I'm still haunted by it 🩵

As part of the launch of our novella crowdfund, hype to share the cover for THESE HOLLOW BODIES by Z.K. Abraham (@pegasusunder.bsky.social)! The cover was illustrated by Anan Sonn Kaaren @acloudboiii.bsky.social 🖌️

Yess! One of the reasons I asked for a Scottish voice actor (Cathleen McCarron) for Cast Long Shadows. Not because the book is Scottish (it's fantasy) but because we shouldn't have all books in RP. That's just dull. www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Cast...

Hey, I just realised - this must make me a VECTOR. For CONTAGION. Via my WRITING. And my IDEAS. Through the medium of STAR TREK.

Una McCormack@unamccormack.bsky.social · 2d ago

This social contagion idea though (ugh, check your metaphors). H*l*n J*yce thinks fan fiction is transing your daughters. They’re bonkers. Perhaps if they’d read more fan fiction they’d be more accepting people. Anyway I’ve been smothered in the stuff since 1979 and I’m a model human being.

This was incredible. I thought I was getting a dark cottagecore domestic thriller and it ended up being a feminist cottagecore Library at Mount Char???? I haven't had one hit me this hard with that visceral "oh shit, it me" gut punch in a very long time. Just wow. Don't sleep on this one #booksky

"Why are columnists bullying the vulnerable? A disproportionate number of professional opinion-havers pick on people harming no one at all, rather than call out people murdering, oppressing, and destroying the very planet. How do they have the nerve to moan about social contagion in *others*?"

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"

Huge congratulations to my pal @ianthegreen.bsky.social for the release of The Deep and the Drowned yesterday! Get on this, folks!

Ian Green@ianthegreen.bsky.social · 4d ago

Hello pals. My new book is out TOMORROW- hardback, audiobook, and ebook! The Deep and the Drowned is an epic fantasy on the high seas. "Outstandingly swashbuckling, outrageously gripping and out-of-this-world brilliant". Tell a friend ⚔️ www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1804545899
