Such a warm welcome back to South Australia. If it wasn't bad enough that I had to leave Vanessa and our house to come here for work, I got in at some hellish time last night and woke up to a massive power outage.

If anyone was keeping up with the issue surrounding Shadow Light Press, a bunch of the former authors on r/ProgressionFantasy have made a post about it Godspeed 🫡 I hope they can get a favorable outcome from this mess #LitRPG #ProgressionFantasy #BookSky

A momentous day! 1000 ratings on Goodreads! I no longer qualify for the "Hidden Gem" category on r/Fantasy Bingo! Thanks so much to everyone who has tossed me a review :) It absolutely helps. #booksky 🪐📚💙📚👀 #sff #litrpg

And yet another chapter of my web novel has been published. #webnovel #litrpg #royalroad #iamwriting www.royalroad.com/fiction/8703...

How are children capable of screaming at that specific frequency that, had I not already had the snip, would cause my body to spontaneously self-vasectomy?

The Vic Govt wants to cut funds to Writers Victoria. Not just a bit. All the way to zero. If you're a Victorian (gotta be a resident for this one) tell them what you think of this idea.

Opinions please, booksky and writing community! When you see the following series name, what do you think/expect in terms of genre, story, etc.? The series name: Among Wild Stars Thanks for the help, friends 💜

this is who bsky banned for life

This is why *everyone* should be in a union. If you’re not in one, organize. Collective bargaining and action is the ONLY way we secure and keep our rights.

A reminder that bringing shitty posts over from That Fascist Site to be performatively angry about them here is a choice you don't have to make! You can just leave them there! There is so much else to be legitimately angry about! You will not lack for content!

HELL YEAH!! Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show! And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time! So congrats friends! We did this together!!! 🙌🙌💖💖💖

We got the date wrong and I'm actually leaving Melbourne tomorrow, so we've a day free in the city. Wevre come to the gallery to look at Art. I'm currently in a room filled with 17th & 18th century paintings THAT'S BIGGER THAN OUR WHOLE HOUSE. One canvas alone exceeds our bedroom.

I took a look at the isekai genre and said, "Eh, could use some more trans and more sapphic seasonings."

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

The most Aussie joke I can think of.

I just had a Long Island Iced Tea, and I'm pretty sure I've been scammed. It doesn't taste alcoholic at all. Time to stand up and go for a walk...

Skeeting a random Wikipedia article completely disconnected from anything else, purely for educational purposes

None of these people should be able to work in our industry again

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

If you haven't yet, make sure you block @icegov.bsky.social Block ICE

This Islamophobic attack in Melbourne is exactly why Albanese's bill should include race AND religion. Running a car off the road and assaulting the driver because they're Muslim is no 'less dangerous' or 'less bad' than doing so because of race. Both hate crimes are totally unacceptable.

Billionaire Bill Ackman donated $10k to Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Nicole Gold. His gofundme is raking in money from far right people who are celebrating this senseless killing. No one should profit off murder. Report his GFM. Make sure he doesn’t see a dime.

4 board members quitting vs 100 writers quitting. 4 board members quit BECAUSE 100 writer quit. Louise Adler is not the problem here, and never has been. The literature & publishing sectors adore Louise. The board were/are out-of-touch outsiders who tried to interfere in OUR Adelaide writers week

fuck ai let’s go back to writing with feathers

Reposting this because apparently he's active again on here. Definitely recommend blocking.

I don’t even *make* NSFW work but I am begging people to please be normal about NSFW work and the people who make it.

Indie Authors, if you've tabled at a book event, please share a photo of your set up! I've got my first book fair next month (Australia Book fair in Melbourne), and I'm looking at what to order. A banner, bookstands? and bookmarks/ business cards with QR codes for books/ Bsky/ my site are on my 📝

Yes. I finished and posted episode 6 of The Plight of the Last Paladin. It's available www.patreon.com/collection/1...

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

Tomorrow’s Stuff Keeps Happening episode is going to be pretty different because I can’t quite bring myself to make the usual type of video this time around. See ya then

If you use Generative AI for anything, even the most trivial things... I am better than you. Its that simple. Only losers use Gen AI.

Holy Fuck The EU is not fucking around - and they shouldn’t

This is awesome but we need to be very good about bullying and blocking any of the scum who decide to come here. Twitter is brimming with British terfs who will absolutely try to follow the Singal strategy.

please get excited about our game. all the publicly available info on it so far can be found in this thread.

Being an adult means not being afraid of being thought childish. I said so.

Jonathan Ross worked for Border Patrol before ICE

Repeating this louder for the guys. Having emotions other than anger is actually normal and doesn't make you less manly.

begging people to stop doing sanism and fatphobia with regards to the evil bastards making life a living hell. you don't need to malign trump's weight. it's not necessary to call elon musk insane. you can simply say they're evil and move on. please. be as intersectional as you claim to be.

FATHOM is also a @cheriepriest.com novel and a good un, redolent of southern heat, humidity, strangeness, and secrets.
