“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” —A Turkish activist described shocking abuse against climate campaigner Greta Thunberg by Israeli forces #FREE_GRETA

I love art, I love stories

Captain Atom period piece, where Nathaniel disappears in the 80s and comes back just for the War on Terror could go hard

#OCtober #drawtober day 6! (yeah kinda doing art ahead :P) Juno~

No, little white billionaire! Don't try singing about sex!

Help I'm getting attached to another DC superhero who constantly gets misrepresented by adaptations

Okay. Here’s the deal. IQ doesn’t actually mean shit. It’s like the SAT. A useless metric of how well people take tests. In a world increasingly dominated by eugenicist discourse, maybe we, ESPECIALLY we marginalized people, can stop acting like “intelligence” means a damn thing. Just be kind.

We should be meaner to conservatives

Save me, 1940s American crime radio drama, save me

Hey, did y'all know that in olden times of D&D (I'm talking 1980) goblinoids were classified as Australopithecus, including goblins being described as australopithecus africanus? Isn't that neat? (No it isn't)

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I dislike pre-order as a matter of principle. On the other, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. I WOULD like to suggest to the gaming industry that I want more Yakuza games tho. No more Soulslikes, give me Yakuzalikes. Like Like a Dragons. And they better all have karaoke.

it's so fucking COLD, i can feel my snoot being frosty

At the "watching Girl With The Dogs videos" part of of my depressive episode

I hate depression. It's been with me most of my life, and it has never gone away for any prolonged period of time. But there are moments when there's less of it, and it's not now. I feel how I'm collapsing into myself in real time. Sure, I can survive. I'd like to be capable of more.

Once I was complaining to my dad about the struggle of being bi. How some people still think you can only be gay or straight. Dad listened and finally said, "Yeah, it's like baseball. Some people say I need to pick one, but I love both my Chicago teams." Guess I'm bi like baseball. #BiVisibilityDay

I think I dropped every single actual play? No more NADDPOD, no more Dungeons and Daddies, no more The Adventure Zone. I'm still on Dropout, but I don't really watch Dimension 20 anymore. It feels weird. All of those were important to me once.

Is it that time of depression where I drop something I was really into for years because suddenly it's no longer fun? Because I'm really not feeling Dungeons and Daddies anymore. And they're not even playing 5e.

If the Rapture does take place, dibs on Utah

This vid is wholesome. I keep watching it every time I open BlueSky.

I did not plan on finding an audio adaptation of Guards! Guards! with John Rhys-Davies of all people in the cast, but I'm not complaining

My parents found a way to make me more stressed about the possibility of my country being invaded, love that for them

I love the Like a Dragon games so much. Just upgraded my health for a crips 5 bucks.

It is once again my birthday

I'm normal, I just want a story where the Tremas Master and Nyssa have to pretend to be father and daughter for a prolonged period of time or they die

Szelma was the last cat the showed us at the animal shelter. She was separated from all the other cats, she was sick (liver, kidney, what have you), and some of her fur was so matted it never grew back. Five years later she's still with us. Very loved and loving. My favorite cat.

I drew something different for bi week. No book character, instead this is me and my boyfriend as cryptids. My favorite pan person and I'm there too. Boyfriend is the minotaur and I'm the changeling (based off the bundle of stick given life with fay magic.) #art #biweek #LGBTQ+ #cryptids

Frank Miller is still getting work and gets to participate in the big Marvel/DC corporate synergy circus, btw

I just heard a radio commercial for raspberry-flavored anxiety meds in the form of gummies. For kids! It's herbal, so obviously it doesn't do much, but still. Bleak.

I forgot I didn't share this one yet. Wesley is my insert of a father figure who is supportive but clueless. It might take more explaining for him to understand but at the end of the day, he just wants what's best for his people. #fantasywestern #characterdesign #booksky #writersky #werewolf

OK, but what are some good recently published novels? I've been reading stuff from the 70s and 80s (Moorcock, Bujold, Westlake) and that's been great fun and good inspiration. But I don't want to read JUST that. I'm looking for recommendations. Especially for books published outside the US.
