Lets make sure that story's in shape. ⚔️🧙‍♂️

I've had to speak about some medication SO much in the last 3 days, but I still didn't know what its called, I just remember that it sounds like Don Perinon, and that stuck because James Bond drunk that at one point. I just had to ask for it. I went with just saying Don Perinon. It worked.

Rewatching Angel. It still holds up - some problematic words/moments aside. Doyle is still the best.

What horror movie image haunts you?

@trnapper.bsky.social has quickly become an autobuy author for me. THE modern cyberpunk guy. My copy arrives tomorrow.

My brain has become coded to see @chucktingle.bsky.social titles everywhere. I see signs for odd inanimate objects and my will automatically add, "consensually pounds my butt"

I'm insanely "time poor" atm and novel reading is tough, it would be a good time to sing to me about your best short stories, or other people's work that you love. Tastes tend towards weird or pulpy. Unless it's AMAZING, vague and ambiguous stories leave me a little cold.

Looks like snapping ankles is back on the menu, boys. FIFA are embarrassing. After breaking their own rules to allow Ronaldo to play in the first few games, we shouldn't be surprised they do the same to help their favourite hosts. Balogun shouldn't get shit though, not his choice or fault.

everyone on sm everytime a celeb trends

Why yes, I am reading old 5 and 1 star reviews of books I read ages ago. Nope, I don't know why I do it so often either.

I find it wild that some people had such visceral reactions to Tender is the Flesh. Makes me think they've never ever slightly questioned their meat eating.

Scrolling my camera roll looking for an old photo and I'm reminded that for secret santa I once drew a colleague lying like Rose in the Titantic, fully hanging dong - imagined, not still-life, and WILDLY complimentary The picture was then pressed into a gold frame with rose petals My finest work.

Sigourney Weaver didn't sink a half-court basketball shot over her shoulder in Alien Resurrection so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Sending my story back after edits...

Good morning

Im such a child, im finishing FFVII Remake and *spoiler free* a flashback/flashforward gave me goosebumps 😂 Im supposed to be a thirty-six year old man for god sake.

Me and the homies mourning the death of cute animal videos* *or at least enjoying them without needed to find 14 verified sources

We actually did it! BRINE won Best Shooter at TMG!! Incredibly grateful to TooManyGames for hosting us, and a huge thank you to all the US fans for the amazing reception and for playing the demo. If you haven't checked it out yet, we're still here until the 28th! #tmg #boomershooter #fps

So nice to find a book that reminds you that you love reading. I've had plenty of DNFs on well regarded books this year, and its easy to think, "Oh, maybe I just don't enjoy this as much anymore."

It's still wild to me that Rooney is pretty much the same age as Messi and Ronaldo. I wonder if there's an alternate dimension where takeaways, pints, and elderly prostitutes dont exist, and he's sat behind Kane spraying passes.

WE DO NOT WANT SHITIFICATION! 🦝

When most corps are zigging towards, "this contains AI!" why aren't more zagging and actively saying, "hey, this word processor/email host/toaster just does what it's supposed to, its cheaper, less evil, and better for the environment."? Or am I just in a bubble, and people want the shitification?

Every editor I've had to deal with recently has been kind, passionate, and competent. Either it just takes a special breed of person to take that sort of thing on, or I'm due some total bastards.

People who have watched Midsommar twice (or more) should be put on a watch list.

I remember when you unlocked extra characters, weapons, and outfits, you didn't buy them.

Ban all 'news' reports that discuss the heat waves while showing clips of smiling people playing on the beach.

I don't wanna be dramatic, but a sharp bit of food cut the roof of my mouth and now there's an ulcer there, and I don't think any other human has ever suffered like this, ever.

Just an FYI, if there was a magazine called "Fantasy Grot" they'd get a first look at every short I write.

Even knowing what I know I would still pet the doggo from The Thing

If you like weird fiction or horror, I'll bet you'll like our always-free non-paywalled flash fiction web anthology. It's always growing, always dangerous, and always. delightful. whisperhousepress.com/whisper-hous... #reading #shortstories #horrorsky #horror #shortfiction #freereading #read

"Arrogance is ever accompanied by folly."* * I tried to eat pizza in a white t-shirt

What I mean when I say I want to go somewhere with 'atmosphere'

A 4 year old may have seen 4 different Prime Ministers already, 5 by the end of summer. I was 20 when my 4th PM came in, 26 by the 5th.

I shall mostly be ignoring politics chat, not because I dont care, but because I open these apps to escape it. Shitposts and bookchat shall endure.

Watched I Saw the TV Glow this weekend. It's the sort of film I'd like to discuss with people more interesting than me, after eight or so beers.

Im letting the FFVII Remakes pull up game ruin my life.

You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away -- turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

Getting quite late in the FFVII Remake and I'm a little confused by the Schrödinger's Biggs and Wedge. Genuinely couldn't tell you who is or isnt alive.

Can’t sleep? Simple methods that work: • study hurricane forecast • who hates me • what did i forget • relive supreme humiliation • win 12-yr-old argument • buried alive? could happen • what i did vs should have done • dead people i miss • what if i’m bad • why do i say stuff • what’s my fuckin deal

Reposting for meeee. Its the only way I'll remember to come back and check these stories out. ✌️

Love seeing all the clips of American bar owners surprised that the Scottish fans have drunk them dry. Even despite the wildly different populations, I reckon the UK & Ireland could drink the US under the table.

"What I Go to School For" by Busted really is right up there in terms of happy pop songs with troubling lyrics.

Life has been life-ing, so I've been reading super slowly, but The Salt Oracle is still so fucking good. It's somehow a bit of every genre, and it nails them all. The last scene I read was just... 🤌👨‍🍳😘 I won't spoil anything, but horror pixelisation is a vibe. 👾😱

@ianthegreen.bsky.social bloody hell, the French cover for Extremophile goes hard, doesn't it?

I'm not sure if I know how to articulate this properly, but I feel like other people know how to spell, and I just memorise the orders of letters in words.

Seems to me this is a problem we can fix

Rooney spending all of half time praising Ronaldo is... a choice. He's been awful. Maybe I shouldn't expect tactical insight from a guy that's consistently failed as a manager 🫠😬

I went for elf in the end, ordered a couple. The salesman cut them off a skinny blonde lad with a bow. I tried to chat to the him after but I don't think he was too bright, he introduced himself by saying "Hi, I'm Legless" I think that could have gone without saying.
