I know you believe it, but you’re wrong, and I don’t want to hear it.

Congratulations to Andrew Knighton, whose novella, 'Walking a Wounded Land', is a finalist for this year's British Fantasy Awards. wizardstowerpress.co...

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

It’s out! My first graphic novel as publisher! Salvation’s Child is a mind-blowing SF saga by @aptshadow.bsky.social a prologue to his Final Architecture series. In association with @comixology.bsky.social www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Archit... 1/3

Currently in that there London to see one of my authors and to go to an album launch. It's too hot (the weather, not the album; the album is the perfect level of hot.)

Your next Netflix binge.

What a gorgeous cover! And Maura's books are *always* worth spending time with!

went for a walk the other day and legit got blessed by this sight

We have to separate work from the author: books go in the paper bin and author in the organic waste bin.

My friend Robin is celebrating his 90th birthday water-biking 104 miles up the Thames to raise £150,000 to help build a rainforest research station. Want to help? You can do it here... www.justgiving.com/campaign/wat...

Reading about the prospect of machine consciousness and it feels like reading Theosophy. I have no idea how anyone would ever prove that a machine had subjective experience. I only ascribe consciousness to my fellow humans out of convenience and as a matter of etiquette.

Six word horror story: "Yodel has picked up your parcel." Thoughts and prayer, please.

We have entered the let's get excited window, so: LET'S GET EXCITED!

I updated my Art for Sale page. These three, and other original drawings, are available now at www.tomgauld.com/art-for-sale

Today is pub day for my novel THE FRANCHISE. It’s a long road for any book to reach publication, and there are a lot of people who helped out a long the way:

Rafferty, being provocative. Happy Birthday!!!

This is a human in a heron suit and you will not convince me otherwise.

I'm at a game convention with my youngest. Everyone here is really lovely, but it's so strange being at a con where I don't know everyone (or anyone!)

Re: last post: Yes, I know it's reductive to simply call Reform the Party of Racists, but we only have a few hundred characters on BlueSky, so it's not possible to frame them in every way in which they suck, in every way in which they represent the very worst of humanity.

Interesting analysis...

Big Day for the racists, today. Seriously, who looks across the pond and thinks, "That's what we need here!"? Amazing self-own from Starmer. The Labour party is Labour in name, only, these days. It needs an immediate change of leadership and direction. Meanwhile, time for the Greens to step up.

Looking forward to heading to the cinema to watch "Human Resources 2 : This Time It's Personnel".

Dooooo you like mythology, tarot cards, and witchy things? I've got a poetry collection coming out from @clashbooks.bsky.social in July! And if you order from Inkwood, you can get a signed copy! (Instructions in post below.) Cover art by @katelanfoisy.bsky.social ! Design by Naomi Falk. <3

Issue 2 went out a little while ago. Warning: contains bone.

A note about bookstore signings: 1) The store has to contact the publisher and invite me. 2) There are different factors to consider for the publisher, and me, as to whether we can accept the invitation or not, like the expense of travel, which the publisher pays for. 1/?

Here's my tour info for Platform Decay!

Apparently my BlueSky account was hacked. So I give you some horny robin content I took a week ago to prove that it’s me.

Just been seen. Light fracture. They've given me a special boot to protect it. So now I'm at the age where I can break a bone in my foot by walking across my living room floor! Good to know!

She is out 💋 You can listen to Scarlet Woman, the lead single from the upcoming Blood on the Clocktower Album ‘The Moon Witch Script’ RIGHT NOW! May your Investigators be poisoned and may your Imp never starpass. Music and lyrics: Holly Musgrave Production: Rob Fincham @bloodontheclocktower.com

The things an editor will do to make sure they have content for their weekly newsletter (which you can sign up for, here: www.leeharris.net/newsletter/).

Brief update. I'm now at the hospital waiting to be seen. Looking like a 2 hour wait, give or take.

After sitting on my foot for an age, I didn't realise it was numb until I got up to walk about half an hour ago, and my foot gave way and gave a little <crack> noise. It's currently quite painful and on ice. I hope I've not broken anything as that would be pretty inconvenient. Likely just a sprain.

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

"Pigeon," for teh same reason. Also "the," as I frequently transpose the h and the e when typing ("the" is a typing nemesis, though, not a spelling nemesis.)

I made £10 for 5 days of work on a milk round before school - 3 hours per morning (5.00am-8.00am), so 15 hours for £10, which equates to 67p per hour (or US 89c). This was in 1983. Doesn't sound a lot, but £10 ($13 or so) was a small fortune to me back then.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.
