I, like many other queerdos, found community, acceptance and expression through Rocky Horror. I hope another weird queer sees this and feels Tim Curry's love and authenticity 👑❤️ #timcurry #228labels #RHPS #rockyhorrorpictureshow #franknfurter

I should post more of the odd things I come across in story research, so here's one: London Evening News 1926 clipping - Harry Price keeping Eleonora Zugun ('Poltergeist Girl') 'under close observation' for three days and witnessing a stiletto hurl itself at the wall. Well suss!
AWC really outdid themselves with this #furiousfiction submission receipt. (That thing I did an hour ago wasn't what it looked like, I swear! I just got the thing...stuck...in the thing. Perfectly normal, could happen to anyone.) Good luck to all the entries!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I made the #furiousfiction longlist for the first time, so chuffed! The shortlist stories are well worth a read, all very different and wonderful: www.writerscentre.com.au/blog/furious...
Dusting off my flash fiction mittens and writing something (probably silly) for #furiousfiction this month. I used to do it religiously a few years ago, and it's really such a fun little exercise. For the uninitiated: www.writerscentre.com.au/furious-fict... #writing #writesky #writingcommunity

My copy of Ghosted by @alicevernon10.bsky.social arrived!! V bloody excited to delve into this over the weekend. (I've seen people post book hauls on, like, pretty flower wreaths and rustic tables etc but I didn't have any of that so I just put it on a cat.) #ghosts #ghoststories #BookSky
Obvious AI-generated art used to pretty up writing blogs? No thank you. On a more general note, the hypocrisy of anyone who talks about the importance of keeping AI out of writing but finds AI art perfectly acceptable is staggering. #writingcommunity #AImoan
Enjoyed this article (which might be counter to the point). V much guilty of, sometimes, treating reading as virtuous. Also guilty of smugging it up, telling others I read for pleasure. But only some of what I read is pleasurable, and those reads have the smallest impact. Fair cop to call it out.
This is an interesting read about ‘enjoying reading’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Spending a lot of time trawling through newspaper archives for writing research, but I'm always getting distracted by bizarre little stories and characters, like this drunk Dorset vicar! Entirely irrelevant, but fascinating. Wonder what became of him... #writesky #writingcommunity #writerresearch
A Ghosts film. Well well well. We'll get to see Fanny on the big screen.
Glorious view from the spooky-charming lamproom of Belle Tout Lighthouse (I want to be on holidays again now please and thank you) #lighthouse #sevensisters #southdowns
