Today I got yelled at at work and cried in the bathroom and no one cared. So yeah. Fun day.

I'm about 8 chapters into the audiobook of "Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne" by Chris Wraight. The full-cast-with-music-and-SFX audiodramas I listened to spoiled me a bit, but John Banks, the narrator, does such a phenomenal job giving each character a unique voice that I'm really enjoying this.

"'The Witcher' meets 'Howl's Moving Castle'" is certainly a pitch. I'm in.

Excited to say my next book for Black Library has been announced! ZARDU LAYAK: THE CRIMSON APOSTLE is about the man with the coolest name / helmet combination in the entire Horus Heresy. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

A FANTASY NOVEL? FOR £6.99?! IN THIS ECONOMY??? YES! If you'd like to pre-order my upcoming fantasy adventure novel THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS then you can do so NOW and you can do it HERE and I will love you forever (or at least be positively disposed): forbiddenplanet.com/486220-this-...

Why has no one written a Lovecraftean spy thriller called "Cloak and Dagon".

I can understand nostalgic movies/games/books set in the 80s. I don't LIKE it, but I can sort of get it. I was extremely distressed when nostalgic stuff started getting set in the 90s. There's no way I could be that old. Yesterday I ran across a nostalgic RPG set in *2004*, and just kill me now.

Currently listening to @gavthorpe.bsky.social's "Our Martyred Lady" during my daily commute, and Greyfax continues to be the Best Thing Ever. "Three hundred genetically-engineered and battle-armoured religious zealots. ... *Great*."

Oh, fuck yes.

Okay. Here we go.

Today I was backing some stuff up and on my backup drive I found a bunch of saved posts and emails from a Gothic Lolita fashion and lifestyle forum/board I used to frequent twenty years ago. It made me sad, because until it blew up in drama, that was probably the last bunch of real friends I had.

You know, I've come to terms with being an awkward dork in RL. But why do I have to be this way on social media, too?

Finally finished this (it's been a busy week). And yeah, it was good. It was a teensy bit rushed feeling at the end, and doesn't tell a complete story (it leads straight into the next book after the Climactic Dramatic Twist Changes Everything), but I loved the characters and the worldbuilding.

Okay, I am SERIOUSLY tempted to pick up this one, soley because it features a weresquirrel. It feels almost refreshing after the umpteenth "dominant and possessive (and probably really, really unconcerned with sexual boundaries) Alpha Werewolf" book.

Why am I a complete sucker for books with cheesy puns in the title?

In happier news, yesterday I finished Dan Carlin's latest installment of his podcast on Alexander the Great so I needed something else for my commute to and from work. I had forgotten I had this bundle, so now I'm listening to @gavthorpe.bsky.social's "Eye of Night" on my daily drive, and loving it.

Last night I had a nightmare that I was a little girl forced by a corporation to pretend for a day that I was the daughter of a couple whose real daughter was dead/terminally ill, because they had paid for a "'Everything Is Actually Fine' Experience" package advertised and sold by that corporation.

When chuds say that women and girls don't play video games/read comics/play TTRPGs/like sci-fi/play Warhammer, they're not making an observation, they're declaring their mission statement and expressing their intentions.

I started this yesterday, and I'm six chapters into it now, and oh, yeah, this is definitely the good stuff.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY!

Normally I avoid werewolf romances, because the whole "dominant hypermasculine alpha" thing skeeves me out, but you had me at "Bridgerton with werewolves", so I'm gonna take a chance on you.

I want to write a fanfic about a Custodian newly entering the ranks of the Eyes of the Emperor, and having to deal with both the humans (especially human men) she encounters as part of her new mission, and having to adjust to life outside the Custodes structure and her fading abilities/damaged body.

Every bit of western culture popular narrative underlined what is right and wrong and that so many just entirely missed it is so disheartening.

I'm at a giant antique mall and I found a booth with a bunch of romantasy paperbacks for fifty cents a pop (including one about Sexy Gargoyle Shifters), and I am severely tempted despite making an effort to buy only eBooks these days for space reasons.

My favorite Burgess Shale creature!

[OC] I decide to remodel her breastplate and plackart based on the new models'

Hell yeah ! Dozens of video claiming W40k retconned the femstodes down the drain. And finally some heads that will probably have the correct scale for female Space Marine too.

Get fucked, chuds!

I just found out that Lucy Worsley is on Bluesky, and I'm pretty sure the squeeing noise I made was audible to my neighbors.

I am a (very very late) Gen Xer. My generation sucks.

Hey, what did Wisconsin ever do to *you*, Writers Of The Avengers Expansion For The Marvel Multiverse RPG?

Wait, isn't the point of being a Dominant Alpha is that there's only ONE of you?

A frankly astounding Humble Bundle of about 70 books by women SFF writers, including the Iskryne series by @pennyvixen.bsky.social and me and my first two Karen Memory novels, for $25 for the whole bundle, benefitting youth mental health. www.humblebundle.com/books/fierce...

I just had the worst dirty martini I've ever had in my entire life.

Please someone help me my family is dying etc etc

"Peach Dump Cake" is going to be my burlesque stage name, and this is exactly how the promotion for my performance is going to read.

I remember when The Sims 2 came out, I made versions of my character and her adopted family played by the other people in the webforum roleplaying game (anyone else remember those? Just me? Okay...) we were all in, and posted tons of screenshots of it in the OOC subforum there.

Thanks to a Kobo sale, I bought my first @chucktingle.bsky.social book today!

a tip to save money on books✨️ instead of adding all the ebooks you want to the cart and buying say 5 books for £5 add them individually and watch as 5 £1 transactions leave your bank account as we all know 5 £1 are not the same as one £5 transaction follow for more money saving tips😌😌

It's too bad I'm such a disaster in the kitchen.

Last night I dreamed I was on a celebrity themed cruise and Javier Bardem was teaching me how to paint minis.

I'm at a work Christmas party and they have an open bar and I've drink a few too many dirty marritinis and I'm so glad I have a Uber account.

meee :3

Why do right-wing weirdos persist in following my account? Have not read the posts in my feed? What on EARTH gives you the idea that I want to interact with you in ANY way, shape, or form? It's creepy and weird. And if you're following me just because you looked at my name, that's even creepier.

As someone who's worn glasses since I was five years old, I endorse this message.

I've loved all of @aliettedebodard.com's books that I've read, but this one is my absolute favorite.

i stand by this statement every year

In Star Trek Online, I got a Moopsy hoodie for my character for the Winter Event, and it is the Cutest Thing Ever.
