For believing what you do, we confer upon you a rare gift, these days—a martyr's death.

I can see how this happened, people assumed it meant performance instead of perform. “Gender is performative” doesn’t mean “gender is a show” it means “gender is continuously asserted.”

Poetry borrows astonishing contrasts that occur by chance. It disorientates; it accidentally establishes a new order. - Jean Cocteau on the accidental new orderings created by poetry (in "The Secrets of Beauty")

Take 2 minutes of your time and watch "The Hyrule Fantasy", a lovely Zelda fan film by french animator Ousmane Cissé. www.catsuka.com/news/2026-02...

I needed a banner so I figured I might as well draw all of my favorite things ☁️🏠✨

WALLGOOSE!

Every year @kymdeyn.bsky.social and I celebrate Cheese Day, to make our shared birthday. It's normally a few days to a week after our birthday, and involves spending hours eating an enormous cheese board while watching a movie. Have a blesséd Cheese Day to all who celebrate.

When people are discussing craft of writing/teaching it makes me realise how lucky I was to be taken on by a writing mentoring scheme at 18 that probably did more to make me into a well-adjusted human being than my own family (lol) AND is still working with me 10+ years later.

It's a scam It's always a scam It'll always be a scam The next one will be a scam too

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

YOU CAN NOW PRE-ORDER MY BOOK 💚🪱 also, look at my babygirl worm on the cover 😭

Thrilled to share the stunning cover for FOLKISH by @kymdeyn.bsky.social and make it available to pre-order now. Artwork by Letty Wilson. 'Bold, inventive, sardonic. Ripe with scavenger gods, local saints and legends.' Playful, spirited and absolutely furious. ninearchespress.com/publications...

Great pre-loved Tarot reading. Really looking forward to the rest of 1993

There were a flurry of "spontaneous" replies last month to various posts i made. All written the same way. All trying to link to the random substack about how innocent he is. My first thought (after blocking) was: "Oh i see someone's publisher has hired a bot farm."

remember back when we all doodled the current thing for warmups? we could bring that back, maybe, that was fun

ICYMI, Gai*man is slinking out of the shadows and posting again, trying to scuttle his way back into the public's good graces. Please take care of yourselves, believe women, believe survivors, and fuck that guy.

The Stonefolk are an odd lot, some nasty, others ambivalent, but the old ones know things lost to us, best not to meddle in their ancient business.

bonus dog with the fp ink i mixed this morning :3

Want to read a sci-fi adventure about an amoral bounty hunter with a shadowy past who is also, incidentally, a worm? www.patreon.com/posts/149662... My new patreon-exclusive story just started, new segments will be going up every week! The first one is totally free though, you should take a look!

I'm wearing my Brigid's cross b/c its imbolc and Custard the Rat grabbed hold of it in his little paws, and when I leant down to see what he was so interested in, he used it to pull himself up and kiss me on the nose 😭💕

Tonight I told my friend about @andrewblair.co.uk’s upcoming pamphlet and he snorted his burger out of his nose. Not boogers. Like the actual burger that he was eating. Like an actual burger.

All set up! It is so cold in here!!

Rare and shocking round of applause for my printer which printed 70 chapbook's worth of paper and somehow didn't throw up a single error the entire time.

Gorgeous weird books for gorgeous weird people 💚

The Goldmasks are said to be fearless, they relish the chance to bring down man, beast & demon alike. But the prize they seek more than any other on the battlefield is the wizard. Bring low the manipulators, who's abuse of power started this war, and cleave justice into the world once more

custard the rat is snoozing in my hand waaaaa

Just to show the other end of the spectrum for budding writers, as someone who has penned a couple unpublished novels while working full time, squeezing an hour of writing in the evening where you get 500 words down can give you a novel draft in like 6 months, without having to run any 10ks

Wait, WHAT?!? Seize his golf course. Just do it. Stick windmills all over it. Incorporate them into the course like mini-golf and hand the whole thing over to the locals.

Sorry ... what the actual fuck?!

This thread is incredible

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

It was Andrew Wakefield that lead my mother down a conspiracy rabbit hole that convinced her she could (and had) cured me of ""severe autism"" (I'm AuDHD) through a mix of diet restrictions and dubious supplements. His harms are many and wide ranging. (My shit is small potatoes next to measles tho.)

My enormous son

I'm intolerant to gluten, so don't try me guys. Maybe bonedust bread is better than what I've currently got. In all seriousness, the subs guidelines are pretty simple and I'd love to read your work!

Fucking Mood.
