Reminder that I'm hosting a new podcast at @issuesinst.bsky.social where I basically invited a bunch of my friends who work in really interesting areas and we talk about what they do with a lens of disaster studies and speculative fiction. The conversations have been amazing!

Well, now I've seen Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome as well. Not as impressive as Mad Max 2, but still not a terrible way to spend Sunday night.

Thanks to @speculativeinsight.bsky.social for letting me go long on books set in other versions of London, with nods to the work of Alan Moore, Helen Oyeyemi, Iain Sinclair, and @steveaylett.bsky.social.

How I found out there's a new Alan Moore book! ❤️ #booksky

My first novella CINDER HOUSE is nearly here! She's been quietly racking up accolades, including an amazing THREE starred reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️

So… Mad Max 2 is not a sequel to Mad Max.

We've been publishing some cool extras every now and then, like this listicle from @tansyrr.bsky.social about Discworld dads... you can see them at all www.speculativeinsight.com/extras. You'll also find a brilliant time travel (ish) short story, and Celia Lake and Freya Marske in conversation.

I'm too scared to google "Eddie Furlong 1992" but it would probably pop up with one of the posters on my wall. Uh, also Jonathan Brandis.
