If only someone had written a really gay sci-fi horror book built around the central theme of how nostalgia is a weapon wielded by a fascistic and capitalist state Anyway, read PROPHET. Me and @hjm.bsky.social are super proud of it.

Nina Oyama just posted this update about Deadloch S2 on IG. Looks like we’ll be getting it next year! 👀

October is my birthday month! Maybe you could recommend Speculative Insight to someone who might be interested in future families, SEAsian SFF, Pratchett's Men, Warhammer, LOTR, the Dublin Portal, or historical science fiction? www.speculativeinsight.com/essays

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Hi all! As promised, here are the prompts for the Our Flag Means Death reading challenge 📚🏴‍☠️ The goal is to read one book by episode. There’s three possible prompts by episodes, inspired by quotes. The challenge is not timed so everyone can go at their own pace. #OFMDReadingChallenge

so is the rapture like new years where the Kiwis get it first and then it comes to Australia while America is still in last year? cos it’s late tuesday afternoon here and nothing has happened. v boring. 0 stars

Wait. Is the rapture supposed to happen Tuesday Australian time or US time? Cos it's Tuesday here... And there's nothing to report... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Look at this beautifulness 😍😍😍🥰

commission for @thiefofcamorr.bsky.social inspired by 'Seaglass' by @robertaseaport.bsky.social thank you so much ❤️ #ofmd

someone wrote a murderbot fic using minesweeper??!??? archiveofourown.org/works/66992527

Every day that passes I become more convinced that Magneto was right.

Newest art. Because we need to turn poison into positivity. And these guys make me happy. (They should have danced. We should have gotten to see them dance.) 💔🧡💜 #OFMD

it does seem weird to declare war on people and then demand they mourn your dead

We don’t all share the same internet. The personalised algorithm has siloed us into parallel worlds

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

The return of Blackbeard and The Gentleman Pirate #ofmd

This week was absolute shit from crying at work, boss being a dick but he’s in a really bad place mentally BUT hey he’s not the only one and now it’s all our problem. And one bestie is having Stuff and other bestie’s mum has a fresh cancer diagnosis and ambo emergency. And now I’ve burned my hand.

readwithcindy already tore this woman and her nonsense down 9 months ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP1z... GET HER ASS!!!

Today is my last 30s birthday. Next year… the big… heeeey I somehow don’t think this was how old he was turning somehow 🤨

Happy September 1st, tis’ a hallowed day for our people.

The Hobonichi gauntlet is over for another year and I’m frazzled.

If you missed the live recording of the Murderbot interview episode at WorldCon, you can watch it here:

Me: this is great, glad to see authors ripped off by AI getting their due. Me after using the search tool: I am one of these ripped off authors. Academics, it only takes a minute. Seven of my papers are in this and I had no idea.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

My other one would be Final Fantasy VIII with OFMD.

Imagine being STEDE BONNET and going to sea and making BLACKBEARD into your BABYGIRL with nothing but the sheer power of your SILLY WHIMSY

I don’t think anyone wants OFMD crossed with CATS the musical. (Original VHS version obviously, I’m almost 40.)

seems like it's time for me to tap the sign again

in my defense no one told me being 40 was going to feel like being 20 but with the gay turned up to 11

i missed drawing him ❤️ inspired by Seaglass by @robertaseaport.bsky.social

@magpietendency.bsky.social Happy Biiiiirthdaaaay. Sorry I’m late again 😭 I always notice the day before my time and go it’s way too early wait for UK time and then boom. Ima just be early next time. I hope it was good 💙

A few logistical notes to consider for future Hugo ceremonies: It wouldn't be a bad idea for future Hugos to invest in a trained transcriptionist at $60/hr or whatever rather than relying on risible autocapture. Some of these folks type 120 wpm with exceptional accuracy.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

You know what never gets old? People in inflatable t-rex suits visiting t-rex skeletons in museums

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

Worldcon 2027 is in a country possible to visit so wooo membership bought and off we go! Maybe. Hopefully.

@robertaseaport.bsky.social Twins! 💙

Wooooooo! youtu.be/AIBv2GEnXlc?...

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

My high school mates are back home for a week and a bit (I’m the only one who didn’t ever leave, one left and came back, and another has a Dad still here) so five of us together again. Plus the two kids one of them has had. It’s been so good. But so exhausting.

New nails, who dis

it's a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and sex pollen fills the air. in this pacific rim au, fang is the only one who can bring a muddy ed and a heavy stede together. meanwhile, pete is getting a parking ticket in the background.
