The First King's Court, book two of The Dusk Lords by the stunning F. Malbeck has been released! A follow up to The Five Lords of Dusk that builds upon and, in my opinion, exceeds the first book. Get on it! #writing #reading #booksky #amreading #fantasy buy.bookfunnel.com/j91fv6twz6

Apart from it being really irritating to change, I don't understand why we still use exonyms for countries instead of their endonyms

This week's #AuthorShoutOut is @iang14.bsky.social, author of speculative fiction that makes you laugh one minute, & gasp the next. Just when you think you know where he's going with a story, it'll twist like wild. Throw Sir Terry, Douglas Adams, & Stephen King together, & you have Ian. #BookSky

Four days to The Reckoning is released. So, what's it all about? Well, here's a small idea... #ComingSoon #BookSky #writingcommunity #authorsky #NewRelease #shortstory #ReaderSky #FantasySky

Over 1,000 artists, including Annie Lennox, Damon Albarn, and Kate Bush, have launched a silent album, 'Is This What We Want?', in protest against UK government plans that could allow AI companies to use copyrighted content without consent.

Are you looking for a story about fighting back against an oppresive regime given everything going on? Well, Into the Forest may be the book for you. books2read.com/u/bOkpJ9

Boosting to @moderation.bsky.app , because I can confirm that @calling33.bsky.social is a stand up person and not a spam bot. #FreeTash!

I regularly prank strangers by leaving them alone and letting them get on with their day. It's hilarious to see people not be inconvenienced in the slightest, completely unaware that they're being pranked.

Lol, turns out a 40 year old woman dancing in her car to blaring 80s Hair Rock IS considered odd by the general public 😂

I collect moments and store them. Like pans set out to catch the #rain. Nothing wasted. #vss365

Parentheses or brackets left open is absolutely one of my pet peeves and this mug has now provided me with the language to describe it 😂

A tv show once had contestants make a healthy meal and theirs had 12 sticks of butter, cream, sugar, etc. "But it's unsalted butter!" they said. Like companies who say "Our cleaning products contain chemicals that will end aquatic life as we know it, but the plastic wrap is *compostable!"

To be fair, the small struggles creating big change is a feature of modern dystopia. In classic dystopia the struggles only change the characters, often to their downfall. The society remains dominated and immovable.

The good news is that my jokes are mostly recycled

Just watched a video presenting a thesis on why they think the thylacine is still alive. I don't agree with them, but damn I wish it was true 😢

I spent roughly 10 years carefully hunting down a book series in op shops and second hand bookshops. Just as I obtained the last one, it and its sister-series were released in new, REALLY nice covers. My question is this: would it be wasteful to have two copies of a series on my shelves? 😅

You know you're getting old when fresh sheets on the bed feel like a cheeky little reward

I have to tell someone, and since my husband isn't on BS, I can say it here: I GOT HIM TRAM SOCKS!!! This is hilarious to me 😂

Cups of tea always taste better when you remember to drink them 😌

All Day Breakfast: the three most beautiful words in the English language. The four most beautiful: Free All Day Breakfast.

Sometimes I think about how nonspecific English is about its kinship terms, and how some other languages can get quite specific. Then I think about a conlang where it's REALLY specific, and how specific could we get before it got ridiculous? Not the actual words, just the number of terms we'd need 🤔

Oh my goooooood! This beautiful weather is healing my soul! 😭 I'd better make the most of the week and a half of it before this country becomes a summer hellscape 😬

Went out to Korean Barbecue for my niece's birthday last night. So much meat 😅

I randomly just remembered that about 10 years ago there was a brothel around the corner from my office, and when petrol prices started going up, they offered 15-cents off per litre vouchers for patrons, and advertised it as "Pump And Save" 😂

But if I work all day on the Blue Sky mine, will there be food on the table tonight? 🤔
