An potent injection of greek myth and raw storytelling on a Thursday Night. Thank you @ewandownie.com @companyofwolves.org ☆

Hello fellow queers and allies! Go show your support for Trip's fabulously camp new book. I can't wait to read it on release!

Considering the frequent yearning looks and bro-on-bro touching at the gym I'm certain DL homosexuality is rife

Buying a house is way more complicated than is appropriate or appreciated. Let me move in already!

Instablock of the day: person saying transgender folks won't die if not given gender-affirming care/hormones. If I have to explain why that's a daft statement to you, you're following the wrong guy.

It’s Black History Month in the US and LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK. I’m a citizen of both, and I have a book that’s both Black and queer, like me.

More conlang, more Lureirh: Oidhe [OY-uh] (noun) - Night Loidhe [LOY-uh] (noun) - Shadow Etymology: lu (water) + oidhe (night) ☆ #conlang #Lureirh

It's bewildering how many people won't stop using the AI slop machines

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

So tiny✨ #cats #art #painting #pebbles #mini

I’m so excited that my artwork ‘Something along those lines’ has been selected as the NHS Tonic Arts Purchase Prize Winner of 2025🥳🙌🏻 . . . #queerart #abstract #scottishartists

That new trailer for "Wuthering Heights" feels like it's the romantasy-ification of film. I know nothing about the book, but the the trailer was gross. Emerald Fennel should just go into p*rn if that's what she enjoys ☆

Right now my favourite part of planning my next project is inventing useful garments for magic users to wear. Ones that will hold their weapons and arcane items. Ones that, should a fight break out, could become damaged or destroyed, and the user will be unable to replace the garment easily ☆

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

A genderfluid, gendersolid, and gendergas march at Pride ☆

My new project being Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Lord of the Rings is super exciting ☆

Creating a magic system isn't nearly as fun as the invention of interesting limitations and cons for using said system ☆

There's definitely something to be said for completing WIPs, especially when those WIPs are long projects, and not starting a new one until the last is done. But I am starting from scratch on (hopefully) my debut novel, instead of resurrecting the festering corpse of my last project ☆

The bulk's going well ☆ 80.7 kg >>> 86.2 kg (May 5 >>> Jun 27)

I've tackled writing my novel a few different ways in the past, but by far the oddest one is my current attempt to write each pov separately and merge them together at the end ☆

Either these are easy or I'm getting better ☆ Minute Cryptic - 10 June 2025 "Active couples starting mountain biking lessons" (6) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 2 under par www.minutecryptic.com?utm_source=s...

I always psych myself out of posting on Bluesky. So, just know that if I'm posting here, I'm being very brave, and I'm probably also proscrastinating continuing a WIP ☆

There's never a correct way to write a story, but there's definitely a wrong way. Several, in fact ☆

In other news, I'm bumbling around cyberpunk territory with another queer rebellion story ☆

How incredible is this?! Go grab your own copy of Wrath Month. There are still wonderful stretch goals to hit. Seeing this support for queer stories is very special given what's happening out in the real world ☆

The easiest one yet! ☆ Minute Cryptic - 8 June 2025 "Remix Elvis covers" (5) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 2 under par www.minutecryptic.com?utm_source=s...

Love conventions but they are extremely overwhelming ☆

Elphaba Thropp said WRATH MONTH 🔥 💚 🧙‍♀️ 🧹 🌈

In the UK, there's been exactly 11 years of legal equality in the entirety of history. And that equality has never been extended to transgender folks. Likewise, queer inclusion in entertainment as an active movement is about 5 years old in the entirety of history. If we forget that, we lose. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Colm has the courage (and the anger). But do YOU? 👀

Finally had the courage to submit to Bona Books' Wrath Month! ☆

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

Had this vest for 14 years and still love it ☆

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

I doubt I have many Harry Potter fans among my follows but if you’re planning to watch the show, you’re supporting this:

This might be my favourite short story that I've written so far ☆

Loved what they did with the latest episode of Doctor Who! Although, I hope we see more of Lux ☆

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches. If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.

Today's fit ☆
