I'm assured by writer friends that one good thing you can do to support them is to buy not just new releases but explore their backlists. Read SF/fantasy? Like queer stuff? I am part way through a project looking at great queer SFF from the 2020s. 2021 is here, and... 1/2

Hey, a question! Should also the title songs for the James Bond games be taken into consideration when ranking all the Bond songs? Well. I dunno, but here's the newest of those: First Light! youtu.be/FRwqGk6GB3I

Hey! Ever wanted to know why pig type Anthro men in Games are so beefy? So big? So hunky? So... Hot? In this definitely not thirsty video I explore the depictions of masculinity and also maybe just maybe rank them on a tier list. youtu.be/jFhzN1DgnyQ

I HAVE TO KILL MY NEIGHBOR was so twisty and good I had to put it on my list: boxd.it/SwNtM

Thanks to @patrickmiguel.bsky.social 's list (2026 Lifetime Movies Ranked) on Letterboxd, I found a new great movie to watch! It starts at least one familiar from Hallmark actor, Lauren Cochrane, as the neighbor! And it is I HAVE TO KILL MY NEIGHBOR! This seems even a bit comedic? Right?

This is Canadian humor, I guess. youtu.be/w_cuvOEQ_gU

Hey, new mysteries! drusbookmusing.com/april-12-2026/

So, everyone knows Melanie C is coming with a disco/dance record for the Summer! Coming next month, SWEAT! There's a new song "Attitude", it's very disco! No video for that yet, so here's the title track "Sweat": youtu.be/blY463GJQjw

Proud to be the first guest in this spin-off! Listen to me blather about my upcoming book or go to hell!

Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel! It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights" But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???

One week after we got a really crappy video game movie, we get one of the best. My review of the anomalously excellent EXIT 8, right here at @thewrap.com.

Hey, "15 LGBTQIA+ Crime Novels To Check Out This Spring" by the authors' organization Queer Crime Writers is out on CrimeReads! I want to add THE PINK by Marshall Thornton, releasing to my knowlege 28th of April! crimereads.com/15-lgbtqia-c...

Hey, how about I recommend some recent mystery shows! There's plenty of course, and I haven't seen them all, but here's ten I've seen and liked enough to mention here! Mostly British!

New Releases: April 2026 Track Four is Not About You by L.M. Bennett (4th) Bishop left without a word. Shiloh never knew why. Four years later, neither of them has recovered. Now Bishop's album is falling apart, and the only producer who understands her sound is the ex she ghosted. Shiloh doesn't…

Hey, DARK WINDS! 4th season! Franka Potente is there! She plays an assassin! Udo Kier plays her grandpa in one of his last roles. This is a solid crime thriller show! If the suspense doesn't draw you in, perhaps all the '70s clothes and vibes will!

With its 12th installment out this week, the surprisingly solid “Sniper” action-movie series is the unlikely champion of direct-to-video franchise extensions. crookedmarquee.com/three-decade...

There is a possibility that I will buy these three historical mysteries in the near future! You can too! Viviane Valentine/Girl Friday Mysteries!

More Privateer 2! What will Clive Owen get up to next?! www.youtube.com/live/o8GQu4W...

I just really need you all to know that my neighbor, Cecilia, is the lead for what she calls a "Giallo pop band" called Sisters of Black Mountain. I have no idea why she is not, like, selling out stadiums. Please re-post this, the music is wonderful. sistersofblackmountain.bandcamp.com

Hey, it's Girls Gone PBS! I love it!

okay, this looks EXTREMELY FUN?????

The appearance of the Glen Powell character, Fox McCloud from the Star Fox games, means that there will be a Star Fox movie next, right?! play.nintendo.com/themes/frien...

Hey, April the 1st! youtu.be/79i9rPp3430

Good morning, Bluesky. Remember what day it is and be skeptical of any "news" you might see today. I will myself NOT be doing any pranks, but I will note today is the 15th anniversary of this prank, featuring me, offering an "excerpt" from an upcoming fantasy trilogy: reactormag.com/the-shadow-w...

Today’s the day you can’t trust anything, but I promise this will take you to a link for a queer romance novella. Because of a prank, a fellow spends the day texting sexy thoughts about his former physiotherapist… to his former physiotherapist. #BookSky Books2Read Link: books2read.com/u/31lgXM
