thank god PEGGY released the song orpheus, which is obviously about orpheus and eurydice, but is also perfect for the book I'm currently editing. I will now be listening to it on repeat approx 3000 times.

I think I'm going to need to buck the trend and say I loved The Vampire Lestat
does anyone have recommendations for their favourite artists for sapphic art?

'oh no korra is evil after all' my friend have you ever engaged with a narrative before. have you considered we may be being misled. perhaps there is a secret we must uncover as the story progresses.
Friday 24 July at Forbidden Planet with THEEE @tashasuri.bsky.social and Amy Coombe talking dark obsessions and doom to cozy ever after. I will of course be on the side of dark obsessions and doom. #booksky
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
getting to the point where an eldritch being would absolutely get my soul if they just offered me one portable air conditioner
I love when the agony and doubt of editing gives way and you suddenly realise what the hell the novel IS, underneath all the words you've already written.
Only took fourteen years of dreaming & heeeeerrreee it is! Friends, I'm thrilled to share the cover of my debut novel with you all. The most desi haunted haveli ever! Haunted places. Haunted people. And some very haunting stories Preorder link in the thread
British drama school training is the envy of the world and, as more film + TV jobs are moving to the UK, our drama schools are the backbone of a global industry. These cuts are artistic vandalism and economic stupidity.
Arts Professional@artsprofessional.co.uk · 4w agoPerforming and creative arts university courses will no longer receive funding from a government teaching grant as part of “difficult decisions” about spending priorities, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said.
so, without giving details, I saw some art of my own characters today and I literally got teary. it's unbelievable that I wrote a thing and someone loved it so much that they made art! their own art! and in the process of loving it made it bigger than I ever could have by writing it alone
[mild spoilers for vox machina season four] this is a pike fan account, all my cool friends cry about how much they love pike
Hey THE FEYWILD JOB is out in less than a week but if you haven't preordered this is a great time to do it no matter where you like to shop for books. I hear B&N is having a sale, I think that's cool, and it's hardcover so a discount could be nice there is also an audiobook release too! VICO ORTIZ!
there is for sure an essay somewhere in the venn diagram between romantasy, the ambiguously brown male romance novel love interest, wuthering heights and sheikh romances - but writing it would be like handling a lit fuse
A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.
My little announcement - I have a new book in 2027, and this is the cover!

I caught up with all the available Vox Machina episodes and - mild SPOILERS I suppose? - WHAT WAS THAT.
There is no gentle or kind way to say this: I cannot respect your writing if you use AI. It's shameful. The hard graft is the price you pay for creating art.
I really enjoyed He-Man but I did not enjoy his mother standing there saying maybe two words the entire film. Silent mothers are dull, and furthermore entirely unrealistic.
Last year in London I did a Knightly Event with @tashasuri.bsky.social @toribovalino.bsky.social & @hollyrace.bsky.social in which we talked honour & love & chivalry & disgrace! #booksky Should I… do it again with more chaos?
I think every politician who proposes to ban anything on the internet for teens should be required to propose, as an alternate, a free and accessible and all weather space for teens to hang out in their own hometown
Anthony Head dying is genuinely devastating. He was a brilliant actor, and so very kind to his fans.
currently have a friend convincing me to play god of war 2018, and I have to admit I'm very easily convinced
Fraudsters are AI-mincing books and republishing them onto Amazon. This was done to The Isle in the Silver Sea - I assume in the hope people would accidentally click on it. It's been removed, but this is a warning of something to look out for, to my fellow authors.
