I remember when most of the internet was free and without adds. The internet nowadays is so annoying.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻

New Blog Post: A Halloween Special Treat: Where To Listen To My Work Online. leticiatoraci.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/a...

My poem, Ballad of the Witch's Familiar, is part of the 2025 Halloween Reading of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry Association. Lots of amazing poems there, especially "Little Witchling" by Clarabelle Miray Fields. sfpoetry.org/wp/halloween...

I'm sick and tired of 2 things atm: 1) People who know nothing about the culture of another country condemning something they are completely ignorant about. 2) Men blaming women for their bad behaviour and women still supporting that. We are in 2025 people, get your head out of the middle age.

We have to be strong like the sun and shine through the clouds. Nós temos que ser fortes como o sol e brilhar através das nuvens.

And I never thought I would see the words president + poop together in the news.

If an author would write a fiction book based of the current reality the readers would dismiss the plot as too childish and unrealistic.

In Portuguese the verb "to worry" is translated as "preocupar-se", which, if it would be literally translated in English, would mean "to occupy yourself before". So I am occupying myself by doing things, not only keeping those worries in my head, and this makes me more calm.

Galadriel telling Sauron: "Go back to the Void from where you came." is just so amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLhy...

Women see low effort from far, far away. Don't just order a pizza to commemorate a special day, take her to a nice place. It's not about the money, it's about the time and the energy...

Coming soonish from Subterranean Press - the first collection of my short fiction in about a decade - here's the cover (by @alisonsampson.bsky.social ) and table of contents for your delectation.

Have you been loving @silviamg.bsky.social 's latest novel THE BEWITCHING? Then why not go back to where it all began ten years ago with her first novel SIGNAL TO NOISE?! A tale of lost love, complicated friendships and magical mixtapes in 1980s Mexico City. Buy geni.us/Dk7qbh

Sometimes ppl serve you a piece of humble pie. Have it or don't have it, being angry at that person won't help though.

It's September (and I love this song). www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC3z...

The first sign of maturity is to follow through with things you started.

Please YouTube, stop translating videos, that is so annoying.

I am delighted to say that a new episode of Starship Alexandria is now live! We discuss the film Battle Beyond The Stars, suggested by @aptshadow.bsky.social :) There's a lot of laughter and cosy, nerdy discussion of entirely harmless things. starshipalexandria.com/episode-6-ba...

People are fine with expecting 200% commitment from others while they commit to 5%. Entitled or what?

Some people feel empathy and some still have to learn what empathy is.

We are excited to be interviewing Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Spiderlight, on Monday 15th September at 8pm BST, live on our YouTube channel! 🕷️ Let us know your questions for the author and we'll ask a few of them during the interview. Link to the live can be found in our bio 💚

What a weird world, where to look like a latin, to speak like a latin and to be a latin is seen as a possible crime. #latinx

Does Youtube understand what Tarot is? Probably not if they are censoring tarot reading videos just because traditional cards may have some nudity. Kind of ridiculous really.

Fascinating collection I have some work in too - came out of a top level brainstorming project about future tech and culture.

This world need to go back to value beauty in the arts. Atm all beautiful paintings, poems and songs are deemed less 'intellectually valuable', but that is like comparing passion fruits to apples. You can't consider a passion fruit less valuable because it has flavor.

You can hear or watch my conversation with @aptshadow.bsky.social on his Tyrant Philosophers series now for $5 a month on Patreon! The full audio episode will be available every next Wednesday.

Immigrants are the scapegoats of society in every country. The world climate changes though, and we are all in the chance of one day having to become immigrants ourselves.

One day ppl will look back on us and see how our society treated each other and comment that we were still in the dark age.

Em is having a really difficult year (cancer diagnosis among other things). Could you donate to this if you can spare something?

'Immigrants are the scapegoats they need. Everyone else just needs humanity and help.'

Hahahaha oh gosh if you wanna hear me speak Spanish (and also some pretty sharp advice on writing by awesome people @aptshadow.bsky.social @jasonsanford.bsky.social with translation by @leticialara.bsky.social and Diego )

GenX is so tired atm that they think: "Give me a face slap if I look for validation ever again".

The latest episode of our podcast "Two Chairs Talking" is now out. We discuss SHROUD by Adrian Tchaikovsky and the film DARK CITY. Podcast Episode here: twochairs.website/2025-07-28-2... Transcript here: twochairs.website/podcast/fanz... #books #booksky 💙📚

Let the people who disappoint you in this life be just that. Don't persist in hate, don't seek revenge, don't dwell on it. Let them go their way while you distance yourself, focused on your own, separate, way. #lifelesson

New Murderbot, yay! reactormag.com/rapport-mart...
