Finally got around to writing up my reviews for A Psalm for the Wild-Built and The Council of Frogs. Both were wonderful reads! Read the full reviews here: weirdereviews.blogspot.com/2025/09/a-ps... weirdereviews.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

🍂 It's officially Autumn! 🍂 Quote repost with your Autumn themed #art *NO A/I

25 days until Songs of Broken Bells releases! Today’s snippet is from chapter 14 Pre-orders are available! Universal link: books2read.com/songsofbrokenbells Itch: voicesofvalhoon.itch.io/songs-of-bro...

Honestly this. We do not talk enough about the ones outside the castle walls (I love that metaphor). Black (and trans) journalists are often the first to fall under these regimes and no one bats an eye. Many have been screaming this since day one. If you don’t stand with them, you’ll be the next up.

looked it up to verify, and yupp. here's a page from the official document. i'll link the sources below this:

I'm in this one! It's a great deal with a lot of #books by #bisexual & #pansexual authors or with those kinds of characters (but likely mostly both). #💙📚 #booksales #itchio

It's #bisexualvisibilityday! Why not grab my horror novel featuring a hot mess bisexual cryptid hunter whose flight to an isolated Canadian island takes him away from the "straight" co-host he drunkenly made out with & into the arms of the monsters he swears aren't real? books2read.com/u/boB9YL

Looking for something to fill the NaNoWriMo-shaped voice in your life? Check out #FirstDraftFall, our challenge to write a first draft in the fall, separated into three parts: October - Planning November - Drafting December (until the 12th) - Wrapping up See the full schedule at the link below!

Apparently some folks think the Rapture is happening tomorrow? Hilarious. Anyway, Enaka knows all about apocalypses. They're trying to avert one! If you, too, want to come along w/ a well-meaning smartass who saves a city from fungal demons, it's got great reviews & it's less than $5! #📚🪐 #📚🩸 #📚

I'd make a joke about buying the book & reading it before you get raptured (it's short! You can read it fast!) but let's be real, none of *my* readers are getting raptured 😂😂😂 You should totally still buy Killer Debt today, though 😉

AM repost for the #vamp zine!

It would be extremely radical and very cool if I could get up to 10 pre-orders for Songs of Broken Bells (we’re halfway there!). Universal link: books2read.com/songsofbrokenbells (Paperbacks ordered from my payhip store come with a bookmark and art!) Itch: voicesofvalhoon.itch.io/songs-of-bro...

4 days before this drops!

Bold characterization. A rose is all one color but has many overlapping petals. Give them overlapping petals (traits, motives, etc) while keeping to a central theme of who they are on a fundamental level, the one thing that doesn't change when you alter their setting. #PretendPanel 9/19

DNF one fantasy book I started because I felt detached from it even though I loved the premise. Next book had a similar feel, but I was immediately engrossed. Which is to say, there is a strange alchemy that happens between book and reader that cannot be predicted, so just do your thing 😂💜

Me: Hey I made a choice Autism: did you think it all thru? ADHD: wow he made a choice!! RSD: but was it the right choice? It won’t be Autism: but did you weigh up all possibilities? ADHD: A choice hey!! Imposter Syndrome: were you authorised? ADHD: A choice yah!! Autism: All consequences?

HAPPY FRIDAY! 🫠

Gif of the last movie you watched.

Ugh, so true ❤️ Thrilled to see Mary Wanjiru's 'The Shift Room' from our latest issue featured here among these other brilliant stories. What a selection! 🌟

Yay! Congrats, Aimee! :D This is my most ominous illustration, I think? If you look closely... 👀

Congrats, Aimee! Thank you for the share! These are best and creepiest of my dark artworks.

These are some cool monsters!

Congrats! Hi I’m Sygnin , I draw stuff. Sometimes it’s dark. Sometimes it’s just a lot of inky lines! 🖤

Hey Aimee, thanks for sharing! I make oil paintings of natural & fantasy landscapes #art #tradart #oilpainting perceptivepumpkin.com/gallery/ shiftypumpkin.etsy.com ko-fi.com/shiftypumpkin

Thanks for hosting and congrats on 15k! I'm Dougie, and all I do is dark art oil paintings.

Nice! Congrats on the milestone, and thanks for the artshare! Hello all. I am a sketcher, trying to capture the strength, love, madness and chaos of the 'reality' I see around me. Some recent sketchy work.

From my upcoming short story, "Endlings."

In #EchoSight, Enaka pretty explicitly sides with local minorities against a callous, bigoted system. This is only going to continue to be a thing in #ScentOfSmoke and the other three books. I'm not sorry.

I reject AI I reject fascism I reject all the small, hateful things And the big, awful things The petty, pathetic people in power try to shove down my throat I reject your greed I reject your selfishness I will make my Art & scream, even if it's to a Void I will never capitulate to Evil. Fuck You

🎶"I'm done hiding, now I'm shining, like I'm born to be! Oh, our time, no fears, no lies, that's who we're born to be!"🎶 Okay, so I really love #KPopDemonHunters. All those songs are bangers. [stares at "Your Idol"]

#SciArtSeptember: Bottleneck The endangered black robin. All the current ones are descended from one named Old Blue. #Art

Thanks @makiokuta.bsky.social for sending the lovely bookmarks & stickers! #buycanadian 🍁

Thought I'd take it easy this semester bc I'm moving again and do an art class to round out my credits (I'm self-taught but figured I'd get *some*thing out of it). My teacher sees nothing wrong with AI but doesn't want us to plagiarize? That's not a consistent, coherent stance. Wtaf. /scream

Capitalism destroys innovation. Just in the games industry itself: - bullshit patents like these (see also: the Nemesis system from the Mordor games) - "cost-cutting measures" like layoffs - EA (a whole subject worthy of its own thread) - micro-transactions - DLC to get the full game AND ✨️MORE!✨️

May this bring you the same smile and snort of laughter it brought me.

Really interesting article about learning languages, language shift, imaginary languages (and how they grow--or don't) and the spread between 'how language shapes thought' up to 'Can we think about things we have no words for?'

Considering the fact that dreams can be used for: foreshadowing, long-distance supernatural communication, [insert other narrative use here], it's fine. I don't prefer to use it because writing an opener like that feels cliche and tropey, but it *can* be done well if you try.
