Just saw Buffy Revamped, a one man comedy show where Spike recounts all 7 seasons in 70 minutes! This was SO fun #buffy

Does this seem sneaky to you? Netgalley usually has a check box after you’ve submitted the review to say yes if you want to connect with the author for events etc. I don’t remember publishers having the right to use reviews for promotional purposes…

Gale of Waterdeep, who loves books and folklore, is played by Tim Downie, who has a podcast about folklore, and now has a book about folklore. I love this. #bg3 📚💙

I’ve been listening to “and they were roommates” and ohmygosh it is so cute and the voice acting is stop tier 🥰🎉 If you’re looking for a wholesome, lighthearted, ya romance may I suggest this one! #booksky💙📚 #books #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqromance #lgbtq #transbooks

I have a book club! Join us to discuss queer, BIPOC and disabled books 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚🏳️‍⚧️ 📚🌎 📚♿️ October’s book is Sleep Like Death by Kalynn Bayron! I run this through my Discotopia discord, where we chat about diverse books all the time, join us!👇 discord.gg/WsqbNAaUGJ

One of my fave books this year!! 📚💙

Spent the day solving puzzles, helped a doctor make an amorous sentient laser jealous, joined a ceremony run by the bishop of the church of the platypus, sang a hymn in praise of the moon, robbed a blimp on behalf of a puppet platypus. Phantom Peak remains in my top 10 of London activities!

Dragged myself out of bed to go see the London Great River Race. Tons of vintage rowboats from all over Europe! Very murky weather but hey it’s England.

Had the best night with the absolute best people. I just left, they’re all going to a club. They said “aren’t you coming?” Part of me wishes I was, just to dance with my loved ones. The other, far bigger half, can’t think of a worse idea 😹

This book by @kjcharleswriter.com is utterly, sweetly, impressively delightful! A 1920s MM romance between a detective fighting corruption and a hot graphologist (handwriting analyst), who is also a post-war amputee. They’re so cute!! 📚💙 📚❤️ 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚♿️

In today’s episode of ‘Disco forgot he has a chronic illness’: I have a party tonight, an escape room on Sunday, theatre on Monday, and a flight to Scotland on Wednesday. I’m an idiot. An idiot with seemingly boundless optimism when I booked all this stuff weeks ago.

This game is so pretty! And adorable (in a Technicolor monster slaying kind of way). #gaming

Just read an ARC of Red City by Marie Lu and it’s SO good! So so so good! A Chinese-American girl and an Indian boy become friends at school, with no idea that they’re both training to become alchemists, part of rival magical mafia-style gangs. When they grow up, loyalties are tested. 📚💙

Finally watching Severance for the first time. Just watched the finale of season 1. OH MY GOD HOLY SHITTT OH MY GOD!

Skipping straight past US Sleep Token concert videos cos they’re playing all the new songs live for the first time and I’m not there 😭😭 I know I saw them at Download this year but that was a festival set and they only played 3 new songs.

TW: medical I have 3 doctor appointments this week, plus have booked a Covid jab, a flu jab, a blood test, and a scan. None of it scary, all of it maintenance for ongoing chronic illness stuff. Every autumn I become a rickety car being taken in for a service 😹 summer is truly over #chronicillness

Sad to hear about Robert Redford, incredible actor and environmental activist. Last thing I saw him in was All is Lost I think, loved that film. So impressive at 77.

Who else loves Grumpy x Sunshine? Prince Judel is all cursed angst. Isidore is pure resilience. Forced together, their dynamic is perfect. #GrumpySunshine #MMRomance #FantasyRomance #BookSky

I loved Katabasis. It’s a bizarre, knowingly pretentious tale of two academics trying to find their PHD supervisor in hell. I’ve been hesitant to recommend it to everyone, because the MCs (and pretty much everyone) are pretty insufferable. And it’s very academia-focused. But I had fun! 📚💙

I used to be a life model. I was very good at it. I once did the same pose for 8hrs a day for 10 days. In the south of France no less. I didn’t appreciate it enough at the time. I really did get money for nothing. I luckily like my job now, but it still requires me to DO stuff.

Ahh the intersection of my hyperfixations! Art by Dhyulin. #bg3 #kpopdemonhunters

I just want to shake these people and scream-explain the austerity-to-fascism progression You’re angry because you’re poor and the politicians are telling you it’s the brown people’s fault, not theirs, so you don’t overthrow them! It’s that simple! Brown people are not the problem! They never are!

This show is warming my heart. It’s just Merry and Pippin wandering around eating traditional foods and mucking about. Perfect. And yes they have second breakfast! #lotr

The far right had a big ‘unite the country’ anti-immigration protest in London today. Biggest one I’ve seen in my lifetime. Terrifying. There was a counter protest, which I’m very thankful for. I’m still scared though. I don’t want to be, cos that’s what they want. But it’s awful.

I’m happily estranged from my family. Every so often I get updates from my brother, always hilarious. A Trini cousin has somehow acquired an Albanian passport?? My aunt, a Christian Reverand, is now national head of her church?! My converted Jewish mother got my father to change his will, again?

Book haul! 10 books for £24. Very happy! Have you read any of these? What should I start with? #booksky 📚💙 📚❤️ 📚🏳️‍🌈

If you’re posting on TikTok this week and your views are terrible, don’t worry!! TikTok is rolling out community guidelines this week and it messes with views every time they do this. It should be OK again in a week or so. Keep posting, but maybe not your favourite stuff you worked hard on.

Had a lovely time book shopping, riding the high from the KPop concert last night. But then the inevitable crash hit me. I knew it was coming 😩 I’m now in bed for the foreseeable. Have to keep reminding myself it was fun and worth it! #chronicillness

Wonho was INCREDIBLE!! So glad I decided to go by myself. Made friends in the crowd and had a blast. #wonho #kpop

Me in my late 30s, with my Kpop demon hunters T-shirt, Labubu and Star Trek Moopsie squishmallow, hyping myself up for a last minute Wonho Kpop concert. I’m probably supposed to be more grown up by now, but I just don’t wanna.

Halfway through this sci fi fantasy about a mathematician in metal-land(?) whose nephew is sold to the underworld queen of jungle-land(?) by a non-binary fae, so she takes her nephew’s place & spends a lot of time being freaked out by plants. I’m enjoying it but I have NO idea where it’s going 😹 📚💙

Wow the news is NEWSING this week.

Arseholes, every one.

I get migraines every time it rains and I live in ENGLAND. There is no justice in this damp, soggy world. At least I can still drink tea. If that ever goes it shall truly be the end of all things.

It’s my partner @mikeypadventures.bsky.social’s birthday! I gave him artwork of us that I commissioned from Becky Appleyard Art, plus some other nerdy things. Chaotic wizards!

Research summary thread!! A COVID research paper found that the histamine 1 receptor (HRH1) is highly involved in enhancing COVID infection. They also found that most H1 blockers (antihistamines, like Claritin) reduced COVID after exposure! 1/8 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I am once again begging you all to read Odd Blood by @azaleacrowley.bsky.social!! A demisexual, autistic Filipino-American woman falling for a himbo vampire while hanging out with his hilarious bickering vampire family. I’m a HUGE vampire fan and this book is incredible. 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚❤️

I really hope the new Buffy series brings back Tara, Anya, Cordelia and Fred, because if we can bring Buffy back from Heaven we can damn well bring them back too. Justice for the women!

Well this sounds incredible! 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚🏳️‍⚧️

This weekend was the first festival without our dear friend Piotr, who passed away in July. We did a tribute to him in the show, then hung this sculpture, co-forged by group members, now forever part of the festival. GNU is a Terry Pratchett reference, meaning his name will live on. GNU Piotr ❤️

Back from a brilliant weekend at a festival, full of friends, fun and frivolity. Also swords, lots of swords! Here is my Saturday night outfit:

663 hours and 3 complete runs and I’m STILL finding new stuff in BG3 Just spoke to the winged horrors on the roof of moonrise for the first time, then discovered a creepy cracked wall you can put your hand in, then obliterated Zrell + zealots with a runepowder barrel in one shot. This game!! #bg3

Packing for a 3 day nerdy camping festival: Where’s my musketeer outfit?? I can’t find my feathers. My hat won’t be jaunty without feathers. There’s no room in the car for the armour! Should I bring the highwayman coat, or the Victorian cloak, or both?!

The Independent just out a 3 star review of Del Toro’s Frankenstein, criticising it for making the monster sympathetic, Victor sinister, and downplaying the horror. That’s the whole point of the book?! That Mary Shelley wrote over 100 years before Karloff?! www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

It’s autumn!! Time to cosy up with books and tea. I have a free weekly newsletter with queer, BIPOC and disabled book recs. You can sign up via Bindery (for free!) and get updates to your inbox. This week is queer cosy fantasy books 🍁🍂 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈 discotopia.binderybooks.com/item/dPlceDJ...

Yet another lovely day to be a transgender Brit.
