Taking a short nap so I can stay up late so I can get some time alone so I can remember how to be a person outside of this

the northern lights are bisexual

I once saw LeVar Burton call someone out on Twitter. That's the final boss of embarrassment. I would just die if the man who essentially taught me how to read said something negative about me.

M: My word, Bond, I thought you died! Bond: No, I didn't. THERE. IT'S DONE. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

I don’t know man if Joyce Carol Oats doubted that I read I would do the honourable thing and curl up into a ball and die.

a title change for the debut novel forthcoming with @titanbooks.bsky.social in 2026 👀‼️ 🎭🪷☁️AN EMPIRE IN THE CLOUDS ☁️🪷🎭 a Chinese-inspired science fantasy set on a drowning continent of royal siblings striving to survive in a climate of murder and corruption.

The circulatory system walking through my kitchen better offer me some coffee too or we’re going to have a problem

This one email chain I'm currently wrangling is so unwieldily I'm not entirely convinced it hasn't jumped dimensions, if not people (but maybe, also, people?)

Vajra Chandrasekera (@vajra.me)'s Rakesfall recently received the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction. In this new interview, Senior Books Editor @cxorlando.bsky.social asks him the author about genre boundaries, violence in fiction, and how Le Guin has inspired his writing:

No, that’s coccyx. Raucous is when 5-6 raccoons become inebriated after eating the fermented apples littering the grounds of abandoned orchards.

Thank you @acwise.bsky.social for reviewing our 5.2 issue!

On Wednesday morning I leave for my VERY LAST in person lab exam and y'all have helped me get *so close* to meeting the need for that ask but I'm still about $225 short. If you can help, it's deeply appreciated.

Name a villain you sympathize with

Tonight’s pick: Hellraiser (2022) A rewatch of a film I really enjoyed, if not as much as the original (ah, but that one was formative). Still, I like that Hellraiser 2022 stands on its own, with some interesting additions to the lore, and of course Jamie Clayton is a revelation as Pinhead.

Proud of herself

Sorry one more

100% this. If you can't find joy in the act of writing, and feel euphoria after editing several drafts into exactly what your thoughts had in mind (or close to it), then I really suggest you don't become a writer. The idea, the thoughts, are nothing without execution. The work is the thing.

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Also finally harvested my Brussels sprouts today! They are the body horror of vegetables, but they come out of it alright 👁️👁️

joyce carol oates is many things, one of which is "the greatest hater on social media."

ME WHEN JOYCE CAROL OATES SAYS SOME DUMB OLD LADY SHIT: Crying Snipes with gun meme ME WHEN JOYCE CAROL OATES LETS ELON MUSK HAVE IT WITH BOTH BARRELS: Legolas and Gimli meme

First snow of the season and she’s already having the time of her life

If I had eldritch powers, there are so many people that I'd eat whole. Really, the inability to unhinge my jaw by six feet is the only thing holding me back from my dreams now.

Post the TV show character who most annoys you, with alt text, please and thank you! 🙏🏼 Less annoyance than active hatred, JFC he sucks so much. BARF.

Tonight’s pick: Yup. WEAPONS (2025). omg WEAPONS 😱 No spoilers, because going in not knowing much was fun (even though I felt the movie itself was a littttttle long but just a bit don’t @ me).

Delightful time launching Year’s Best Canadian SFF today at @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social !! Many thanks to @ourmankoto.bsky.social for the work put into bringing this antho to life, and congrats to my fellow TOC members ✨ Always love an excuse to read a little slice of a tale 🪞

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

For anyone who doesn't know, this is a user-selected function. As in, "This is a more comfortable provider of this service I'm paying for." I guess it's a problem for men lacking other scenarios to force women into their car.

She smiles and says “I will always love you”

Poodles do loaf around, just extra fancy ✨

i would enjoy chores more if they unlocked some cool loot like a new hairstyle or a weapon

It is once again time to bless your skyline with pics and video of my dogs eating tiny pancakes #PancakesTime

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Lynch's work wasn't just "weird." In the way Studio Ghibli tears are shown as how crying *feels* rather than how it appears, Lynch had feeling lead in his storytelling to the point of superceding the established reality and logic of the art. Not solely dream oddity but dream-emotion elasticity.

Weekend plans sorted! My library hold on WEAPONS finally came through ✨👌🏼

In less than a week!!! 🩵💜🖤
