Playing Midnight Suns and it reminded me Morbius's first name is Michael. Dreaded vampire.... ..Michael Morbius... Little Mikey Morb... That is all; carry on.

You can perceive me and my books at Booked for the Night (part of Pretty Little Things Market). The Grove at Waterside in Fort Worth May 30th, 5pm-9pm I'm doing a lot of the market thing this summer and fall (and onward!) pixelsandpins.com/schedule/

Need help from the readers of #booksky. Two characters are talking telepathically. What's the clearest to you? Option 1: different leading tag indicator of some sort Option 2: different fonts Option 3: bracket styles They all have different pros and cons re: ebook reflow and screen readers etc.

Used complete sentences in Marvel Rivals match chat between rounds to call out Daredevil "haunting the backline." Teammate response: "that sounds like ChatGPT" So THAT'S certainly an angle of the LLM issue.

Two raccoons and a possum sharing a pair of overalls.

This game is ridiculous.

My pet peeves are too specific, and it's sort of a problem. pixelsandpins.com/2026/05/13/t...

Caught up with all the released solicits and information about the Midnight Imprint launch titles. Eldritch body horror Fantastic Four with Benjamin Percy and Kev Walker. Excuse me? EXCUSE ME? #comics

If animals could speak, what stories would they tell? In this week's SFF Bestiary, Judith Tarr opens the floor to talking animals, from folklore to Princess Donut. What are your favorite examples? #Booksky

Turns out "is 'from' capitalized in a title" is a wildly more complex question that it would seem on the surface.

Don't miss out on this great interview I did with @comicbookyeti.com!

I'm giving y'all NO context for this one; I just need it to be in at least one other person's head besides mine. youtu.be/j21aPIbmIts?...

Set up at Dallas is Lit! #booksky 💙📚🪐

Galaxy: As the World Falls Down from @planetx.bsky.social, @ryehickman.bsky.social, & @longtalljodie.com came in today as part of my #NCBD pickings! Have to wait for a time to really savor it. #comics #booksky

Over on threads, an author made a wombo combo of a post that insulted a full genre using a slur. They were called out (obviously). The crash-out that followed -- available only in screenshots, at the moment -- is utterly spectacular.

Every year, a new batch of people discover The Met Gala, and they never have anything actually interesting to say about it. They just recycle the same three bullet points.

This Saturday, starting at 12:30, I'll be at the Dallas is Lit! Author and Book Fair. Down in the lower area of Arts Mission Oak Cliff. I'll have copies of my sapphic fantasy trilogy, urban fantasy short story collection, and (maybe?) some of my alien romance with me. #writsky #DFW

Also, shout out to @briandenham.bsky.social, the cover artist for my LCS's retailer exclusive variant of Dungeon Crawler Carl #1.

Grabbed this Spidey and His Amazing Friends comic for Free Comic Day, and look at this on the inside cover! It's a little "how to read comics" guide. How CUTE is that?!

Just sketchin' out some lil' guys. Just some dudes. A boi or two.

Wherein I wax poetic about the book/comic->movie pipeline. #comics #books #movies #blog pixelsandpins.com/2026/04/29/u...

Managed to avoid basically all major (and even minor) spoilers for Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 for two years. Finished tonight and HOT DAMN. (Look it came out within two weeks of BG3. My priorities were of a different sort.)

You know that thing where someone special is coming over so in a fit of pique you tackle several major cleaning tasks you've been putting off to reduce your overall gremlin energy to normal-looking levels? Can we like...bottle that?

For a long time, DC used me (with my consent, I always found it flattering) when they had a side character they felt had lost its shine. The idea is that I was good at rehabbing them and giving them a bit more clear purpose and style. I always found it super fun and challenging in a good way. 1/

What is the worst number of potstickers to get in a box and why is it eleven?

Step 1: nail your egg drop soup base Step 2: add firm tofu, frozen peas and carrot mix Step 3:

Here's what you're gonna do: -Go to your local Ren Faire. -Go to the local soap people. -Spend $45 on soap. Is that a lot of money for soap? Maybe. Will it last you a year because it's five lbs of high-quality soap? You betcha.

Had jury duty for the first time today, and I gotta tell y'all...the lawyers start setting up the narrative right from the jury exclusion questions. I didn't get picked, but I came away with a strong impression of the case based on no actual evidence. If it's not a bug, it's a shitty feature.

A new carniceria/panaderia opened next to my comic shop. So for #NCBD I picked up Venom, Inglorious X-Force, a concha, a pound of al pastor, and some bulk duritos. So, you know, highlight of the week. #comics #food

We have just *two weeks* until the release of JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERGALACTIC SPECIAL and only *three weeks* until the release of GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN!!!!

My favorite garb build for Renn Faire is my chain sunglasses. When I saw this heart-shaped pair late last year, I knew they'd be my next pair when I was ready for a change. #crafts #costuming

Cleaned up our #boardgame shelves this weekend. Tried to reorganize by "complexity," and, I gotta say, that's more of a head-scratcher than you realize, at first. Settled on "How difficult would this be to explain to someone who doesn't play games?"

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Watching movie: self-proclaimed luddite gets technical implant after accident. "Alright. Cool, I guess. Pretty standard bio-sci-horror fair." Implant starts talking to main character. "YEAH, BABY LET'S GO!"

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Y'all are gonna either love this or hate this. That's what makes the take so HOT and JUICY. #comics #spider-man #venom pixelsandpins.com/2026/04/08/i...

One solution to the tablet generation is bringing back physical media, but people aren't ready for that conversation.

Reading year so far: Fang Fiction (fant rom) Animorphs (SF) Someone You Can Build a Nest In (sapphic fant horror) The Word for Worlds is Forest (classic SF) Galaxy: The Prettiest Star (sapphic romantic SF) 90's-00s Deadpool Spider-Man: The Other Spider-Man and the X-Men #booksky 💙📚🪐 t.ly/-yKDY

In case you hadn't seen the AO3 April Fools gag, yet.

Gentle reminder on this day: saying things like "we are all immigrants (except natives)" actually erases important amounts of American history. There are a lot of people who are not native whose ancestors never immigrated to the US.

I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.

What a fab group to be a part of. Fun fact: My story "Pareidolia" is, technically, a perfomance piece turned text. It was crafted by transcribing myself improvising to an outline. You'll understand when you read it. #booksky 💙📚🪐

Arrival

Reddit is algo-serving me the Project Hail Mary subreddit. And while everyone should feel comfortable critiquing art, I'm getting the strong sense that a lot of these readers either don't understand how movies work or have never (knowlingly) seen a screen adaptation before.

#NCBD being Wednesday is a blessing and a curse. Great midweek pick-me-up, but I typically can't sit and read right away. Good way to finish the day, though. This week: Fantastic Four Knull Amazing Spider-Man Superman/Spider-Man Wiccan: Witches Road #comics
