I've noticed an uptick in Tribute Bands doing the rounds in Brisbane lately, and I think its pretty cool to be honest. Most folks these days can't afford to go and see the big concerts - and being able to share a love for music and nostalgia with others in a pub or club is a unifying experience 1/2
I was recently asked if I could meet one person who has inspired me, who would it be? I think the only true answer to this question for me is M. Night Shyamalan. A cerebral writer & a deliberate, thoughtful visual artist; he seems like a wonderful human as well. Lady In The Water is my favourite 😍
I am so so excited to have more time and energy available to me over the coming months to do the things I love. Writing and art have taken a serious backseat during my 'newt phase' this past 12 months (IYKYK). I have so much I want to do. Stay tuned 😉 #writing #booksky #music #art #time

Went to a social event after knock off time, got myself a nice frosty soda water with a slice of lime. Went to hang with the folks who invited me... after 10 minutes realised nobody was talking to me, so asked the bar chick for an alternative exit and now I'm at home in my pj's 😂 #bliss #life

Grateful for the public holiday today, some extra time for quiet, rest and time with my cats. Hopefully some rain later and a few hours reading. I hope you're all having a great day 🥰

I see the clips of men attempting #pilates and understand they may be posted as comedy... but heck, that sh*t is HARD. So frikkin kudos to ANYONE who dedicates any amount of time to trying #physical activity their body is not accustomed to, at all levels of #health and #performance 👏 #GoodJob

I went to a 'seminar' tonight in Brisbane, (think recruitment meeting) and all I will say is that if your 'group' or 'philosophy' is that you are one with everyone and everything, then you cannot be or have a 'chosen one' leader. That is all 🥰 #ThanksForComingToMyTEDTalk

Well thats just great, my air con has broken down. Just in time for summer. I've contacted the property manager but we'll see if I hear anything back...
Friendly reminder: your cat has never looked at you and thought you should be prettier, thinner, richer, more successful, or more productive. they just love you exactly as you are.
I've been left to my own devices again and allowed my brain to go for a walk on this sunny afternoon! New blog up now 🩷 #blog #random #people #booksky #reading #ramble www.shanlscott.com/post/who-are...

Where do your thoughts take you when you're left to your own devices? This was an interesting rabbit hole to burrow down, reflective and hopeful. Purely my brain taking a walk down the garden path.

My recommended read for anyone looking for a good book this weekend, is "THUD" by Sir Terry Pratchett. Entertaining and fun, and yet eerily relevant, as his writing always is. For those that pick this book up, enjoy! For everyone else, put it on your TBR! #TerryPratchett #Discworld #Thud #booksky

I've probably put in 100 library requests over the past year, and they're almost always approved. It's an easy way to help authors (and also an easy way to support your library)
Kass G.@anarkass.bsky.social · 3w agoAlso worth noting that like, three people requesting something at a library will get a library to buy it. And it doesn't take many holds to make it "we should buy more copies."
I have a decent collection of physical #media, #books, #dvd's and #CD's. I think that now, more than ever, as the #artistic works of the world are gobbled up and destroyed, its important to keep these things safe in whatever way we can. And its something to do when the net goes down... #booksky

Remember, if you wrote a book, nobody will care about it more than you. You did good, though. Celebrate that shit. Many want to write, few do. Fuck A.I.

I used to have a comfort film/films that I would watch when I was having a rough time. It was the LOTR Trilogy and I can't even count how many times I've seen them (extended eds of course). Do you have a comfort movie or TV show? #movies #TV #LOTR #comfort #safespace #taters #precious

It is with the greatest apologies that I am moving the release of Constant State back to October 30th because time waits for no man, even one writing about time travel & trying to sort your life out! To make up for this I am selling pre-orders a greatly reduced rate, so snap yours up while you can!⏳
Good Morning, Everybody ! Be Kind. I hope your day is Wonder-filled !
