84 Charing Cross Road is the best book translated to movie that I’ve ever seen. I love it so much. And it’s free to watch on Youtube if you use a VPN and tell them you’re in the US. 👀

So many secrets in my garden here at @casabentbill.bsky.social This little sweetie was trying to take a nap under a leaf near the house. I took its photo and then let it rest. I think this is a Pygmy Fruit-eating Bat (Dermanura phaeotis) #bats #mammals #costarica #nature #wildlife

Today is the release day for Queen Demon! I’ll be here at Politics and Prose in Washington DC tonight!

Since I'm spending a lot of time doing everything except what I need to be doing, here's one thing I've been meaning to do: This is the link for my upcoming book tour for Queen Demon, the sequel to Witch King, 2nd book in the Rising World. Tour starts Oct 6. us.macmillan.com/tours/martha...

Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972), “Three Worlds” (1955), lithograph on wove van Gelder paper, 24.5 x 36 cm.

why is this little pic so perfectly poised and composed, RUDE (that jacket's fit, the soft gleam against his throat, the angle of his wrist 😭)

I have never related to anyone more

This is the last day for the Murderbot + Witch King and my other fantasy Humble Book Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/martha... We've raised $89,000 in donations for World Central Kitchen so far!

SEPTEMBER 25th!! (So technically both this and Ghost of Yõtei are Festivids-eligible...!)

spent today at the amazing Hoge Veluwe forest park that also contains a modern art museum with about 40 staggering Van Goghs on display. All privately owned but accessible to the public. Rich tech bros: THIS is what you do with your money instead of building Fallout bunkers.

This Murderbot + Witch King and more Humble Bundle from @torbooks.bsky.social has raised nearly $80,000 for @wck.org World Central Kitchen -- Can we get that up higher before time runs out? #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

All other plans canceled for today, I must draw on an ENVELOPE

Okay, I have decided to put the angry poem online. You can find it here: borchertlab.com/2019/03/13/p... Rereading it, I do remember the energy I felt reading it aloud at student poetry events. After moving, I haven't really found a poetry scene for myself again. I should get on that 🤔

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Re-upping this for the afternoon:

Humblebundle to support World Central Kitchen, and get a bunch of my books from @tordotcom.bsky.social including Murderbot and Witch King! #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Anecdotes of Zhu Yilong from the Dongji Rescue production photo book: 🏴‍☠️Could hold his breath for more than 4mins underwater 🏴‍☠️Had a rather serious injury from filming & his family+team advised him against taking up DJR. 🏴‍☠️Brought his personal trainer to the set #ZhuYilong #DongjiRescue

I aired my id. And I completely understand why they could not use my original headline: “Your child does not need a comms strategy.” www.npr.org/2024/07/30/n...

I really like this particular poster design for Dongji Rescue

my precious poster! it amuses me that long-ge was clearly given the less functional pen, you can barely see his signature in the middle. but it’s there 🥰

/1 Aug 17 XHS: Zhu Yilong at the UK Premiere of Dongji Rescue #ZhuYilong #朱一龙 #朱一龍 #东极岛 #DongjiRescue cr: saleya漓

Dongji Rescue Premiere in London an utter shambles - fans tried to form a queue system and in the end nobody was allowed inside for the red carpet as had been promised, we all stood outside in 30C heat (with some shade from the building). Long-ge arrived, smiled, waved at us, and went inside.

Despite the chaos I did enjoy the Dongji Rescue European premiere! It was An Event (a badly organised one) but it was still fun to go to my first premiere. Thanks so much to @wenella.bsky.social for translating the posts from the organiser and helping us know what the heck was going on 💜

Loot! some homemade (photobook to the left that I hoped to get signed, print to the right provided by kind fellow fan, and my precious poster rolled up - I just bought a cardboard tube to protect it on the train, will try to take a good picture once it’s home.

exhausted post-Dongji Rescue premiere. Got interviewed by two or maybe three chinese media outlets. And!! won a poster signed by Long-ge, Ni Ni, and Wu Lei, that made the long hot wait to see Long-ge glide by the crowd feel worth it.

holing up in my blessed, beloved airconditioned hotel room to prepare for the Dongji Rescue premiere. it’s going to be so hot outside and my hip already hurts, I’ll leave the hours long queue for the hardier fans. BUT we will all get to see long-ge 😭🥰😳

‼️⚠️ New changes to Dongji Rescue UK Premiere arrangements (as of Aug 14) ⚠️‼️ - Wristband collection is cancelled - Tic collection starts at 5:30PM - Head to the red carpet once you collect your tic - Additional signed poster giveaway Read more👇🏻 #ZhuYilong #DongjiRescue

🇬🇧 For those attending the UK premiere of Dongji Rescue on Aug 15, take note: Due to safety regulations, the red carpet is held indoors. There is quota for only 30 fans to view the RC. To be eligible, you’ll need to queue at the cinema (early) & collect a wristband. #ZhuYilong

This is my schedule for @seattlein2025.org next week!

oh wow, I didn't expect this! <3

I can't get over Zhu Yilong acting with little Fei Liu from Nirvana in Fire 🥺 (and he's just as much of a gremlin irl apparently)

pan-european rights so MAYBE we'll actually get to see this in the Netherlands? 👀 "Dongji Rescue is slated for release in the UK and Ireland on August 22, 2025, with other European territories to follow from August 29." #zhuyilong

love that the z1l fandom can agree on so many things including 1) yes smoking is so bad for you, and but simultaneously also 2) dear god long-ge's french inhale is a thing of transcendent hotness #朱一龙

If you missed it, there's a new Murderbot short story at: reactormag.com/rapport-mart...
