I just finished @katieshepardbooks.bsky.social The Younger Gods. I couldn’t put it down! I need the next book asap. The slow burn was sooooo good. Instantly one of my favorite books. Everyone please go pre-order yourselves a copy!

de-stressing a bit by drawing Ammy. I love loveee Okami, will patiently wait for the sequel #artshare #artsky #okami #amaterasu #digitalpainting #fanart

📚 Just finished Shadow Ticket, and wow, what a trip! ➡️ Up next: Tom’s Crossing Shadow ticket is classic Pynchon chaos, and he’s clearly just having fun. It's a jazzy, Depression-era detective fever dream that’s as playfully strange as it is eerily relevant. #booksky #litfic #pynchon

//fandom discourse I hate when people talk abt lacking "representation" in FANwork as if it was a producer-costumer relationship,not an OPEN playground for hobbyist. I get you can't make a movie or even publish a novel. But I don't believe you that you can't write a drabble or draw a stick figure

didn’t realize they don’t post on here 😭

The best ship in the galaxy.

Y’all expect us to be happy about a diminushed Rey with a retconned background, saying shit like “I will earn Luke’s saber”, having her power ~explained away by a Palpatine bloodline, with writers that think her calling herself a Skywalker is what she needs to be happy? Gtfo

“Why aren’t you excited for the Rey film as with the idea of The Hunt For Ben Solo” We don’t trust DLF’s vision (or lackthereof) for Rey after the aTROSity but trust Adam’s vision for Ben, what’s not clicking #TheHuntForBenSolo

this week has made me the most optimistic that I've been since the election that we're going to get out of this intact, or some vague approximation thereof (whether we can successfully rebuild from there, I am more skeptical about, but first things first) a thread

We made a promise under the blossoms 👻🌸

When I started sketching a tribute poster for "Frankenstein" I abandoned my original idea for a different approach, but I could not let it go. So, as a catharsis of sorts, here is my second tributer poster for @realgdt.bsky.social film, inspired by Dalí's iconic painting. #Frankenstein #posterdesign

Maybe the idea someone pushes won’t work. Lots don’t! But just saying “nah” and then logging off isn’t the smart hip take so many seem to think. It’s just lazy defeatist doomerism that guarantees the worst outcome. At this point, please either constructively contribute or be silently doomery.

I’d challenge everyone who says “sure, this is a great idea but it’ll never happen” to: 1. Stop being defeatist to yourself. 2. Stop trying to demotivate those who are pushing for a better future. 3. Better invest the time you waste saying “can’t have nice things!” thinking abt what we CAN do.

Anyway, happy to fight alongside Willy Rafflesburg Jr

I am not complaining. In fact, I think this is a better model than demanding people grovel and confess their sins against the party or whatever.

Skill + joy at the same time is of course utterly delightful, but if I have to choose a favorite between a flawed, joyful piece of art and a technically-perfect but soulless one, I choose the joyful one every time.

True of all forms of art, actually. I used to think that technical skill was the most important thing, but honestly? One piece of flawed art that you can tell the creator really enjoyed making is better than a million technically-perfect pieces. Joy shines through.

I just think we should all start reading and writing more

I'll never forgive Tony Gilroy for doing that Ross Douthat interview

Do you ever look at the moon and think, Oh that's the same moon Wiliam Shakespeare looked at, and Frida Kahlo, and Jesus, and Grace Kelly, and I still haven't done the washing up, where did the last hour go?

If you ever question if your fanfic is too self indulgent please remember that’s actually the point of fanfiction

5 🌟s, easy I am a simple woman, I love a man who is so down bad and a woman who learns to accept that she deserves love (and a side of wholesome friendships) (also that strawberry matcha boba was delicious) #booksky #KateGolden 🌶️📚💙

How am I only 3 chapters in and so instantly invested??? How am I supposed to do trading for the new job when I have Alchemised waiting for me to read??? #Booksky #Alchemised

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Also all the hype about a fringe tradcath milieu that gained prominent recruits like JD Vance misses how much of the American Catholic hierarch from Pope Leo on down are more in the type of angry lib warrior priests www.ncronline.org/migration/dc...

"And this is exactly why it’s so important to make the Ben Solo movie. Killing him off wasn’t just lazy writing — it was a disservice to boys and men (and women) who deserved to see a different ending." #thehuntforbensolo #bensolo #starwars #reylo #bensololives

guys this is so good, the Chicago Hot Priest is back with a little man bun getting right up in the faces of armed ICE goons to tell them they should put down their guns and quit their jobs because they’re disappointing their Sunday school teachers www.instagram.com/reel/DQm-ZzZ...

They’ll insist this is a one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else. They’re wrong. New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe. If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.
