All Things Huge & Hideous by G. Scott Huggins Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Humorous & cute stories of a vet to magical animals like dragons, basilisks, & hellhounds. High-brow literature this is not, but it’s still a lot of fun. #booksky #bookreview #fantasy

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai

A reminder than more than humans sacrifice during war. In the 20th century, millions of horses, donkeys, mules, dogs, and pigeons were pressed into service. No voice and no consent yet they worked and bled and died. #remember #AnimalsInService

Just placed my bid for a great package that checks off a gift & supports @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social! #seasonofgiving #films #SupportTheArts

I’m currently reading Georgette Heyer’s Venetia. How has this not been made into a miniseries? With the popularity of romantasy and Bridgerton, Venetia seems ready-made for a film adaptation.

My purchases for this round of the @criterion.bsky.social sale at @barnesandnoble.com. What is everyone else getting? #moviesky #filmsky #movies

Who wants $10,000? The annual @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social $10k is almost here! Grab a chance to win $10k or bid on some great movie & sports memorabilia or fun experience packages in the silent auction. #SupportTheArts #ShopLocal #Birmingham

Look at the lovely Allurial edition of A.K. Caggiano’s Throne in the Dark! #booksky #romantasy

I’ve had to do some creative rearranging of my Dune display to make space for the newest #CentipedePress title. It’s about time for a new #Dune photo! #FrankHerbert #scifi

I was thrilled to include “The Wedding Veil of the Proud Princess” (dir. Anna-Ester Volozh) in the 2025 @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social fest. Now it’s available for everyone to watch! Don’t miss this dark fairytale. Also, 2026 submissions open in 4 days! #filmsky #animation #sidewalkfilm

I’m low-key obsessed with building an old school card catalogue for my media (digital and print books, movies, music, and games). Do I really need a card catalogue in my house? Probably not. But I still kinda want one. #booksky #bookconfessions

Despite not being a gamer, I couldn’t resist the Stormlight & Mistborn world guides from @brotherwisegames.bsky.social because of the art & lore they have. #booksky #gaming #cosmere #BrandonSanderson

'Ultimately, by treating wildlife trafficking as a complex form of organised crime, Canada can help dismantle the networks that profit from exploiting both people and the planet.' Read more ⬇️

Special edition of A.K. Caggiano’s Throne in the Dark has arrived! New illustrations, stenciled edges, & bonus content! #booksky #fantasy #romance

Some of my favorite items in my #Dune collection. 📚 The “dark” Easton edition 📚 Oxford UP ESL edition 📚 Farsi edition signed by translator 📚 A tiny book edition 📚 ARC of Songs of Muad’Dib 📚 The Melor Russian edition with its completely unrelated illustrations #booksky #scifi #FrankHerbert #DuneDay

The Franklin Stove by Joyce E. Chaplin. Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Worth reading despite a tendency towards editorializing. You see that resource scarcity and pollution have long been energy concerns, and you see that Benjamin Franklin did a lot to further atmospheric study. #booksky #history #bookreview

The 3 #EastonPress Deluxe editions I bought because of the amazing artwork. Gilgamesh (art by @rebeccayanovskaya.bsky.social), Beowulf (art by @yoannlossel.bsky.social), & The Kalevala (art by #SebMcKinnon). #booksky #shelfie #BookCollecting

Two more editions of Dune are winging their ways to me. Really, I can stop whenever I want! #FrankHerbert #BookCollecting

Invitations for @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social short film screening committee have been sent! Film submissions open in just a couple of weeks! The 2026 festival season is about to get rolling! #filmsky #filmfest #indiefolm #movies #creativity

Dune from Turkey. #booksky #FrankHerbert #arrakis #DuneDay #scifi

Ocean Girl by Jane Buehler. Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️ #booksky #fantasy #mermaid

Stephen R. Lawhead books! I have a whole shelf of his works, but these are some of my favorites. I’d love to someday have matching hardcover editions of the Pendragon Cycle. #booksky #scifi #fantasy #ArthurianLegends

RIP Diane Keaton.

How Not to Court Your Human Captive by A. K. Caggiano. Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #romance

More people who are recognizing the dangerous landscape of over dependence on AI (finally).

Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon was one of the first animes I ever watched. With the 4K restoration hitting theaters, now is a good time to revisit this film. #filmsky #FilmFriday #moviesky #anime

Aurelia by Stephen R. Lawhead. Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #bookreview #arthurianlegend

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry. Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 #booksky #bookreview #romance

The lovely limited edition of #Dune from Earthling Publications with intricate art from Richard A. Kirk. #booksky #FrankHerbert #scifi #DuneDay #arrakis

Terror at the Gates by Scarlett St. Clair. Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #fantasy

The world of Riyria in hardcover! #booksky #fantasy #MichaelJSullivan

Horse slaughter issues continue to persist in North America. Organizations like All Seated in a Barn try to rescue these horses from the pipeline as weekly auctions send them through inhumane processes. Much of civilization was built on the backs of horses. Honor them now. #donate #animalrescue

Sullivan hardcover collection complete! The first 4 Riyria Chronicles landed on my doorstep this week, and they are beautiful! That cover art almost radiates. #booksky #SullivanSaturday #fantasy

Remembering #SidewalkAlum Alternative Math for today’s #FilmFriday. This quick-moving comedy is truer today than it was when @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social first screened it. #filmsky #moviesky #shortfilm #comedy

It may be time for a rewatch of BBC’s 2004 North and South. #ElizabethGaskell

Naked books! Even without their dustjackets, these @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social copies of @ryancahill.bsky.social’s The Bound & the Broken series are lovely! #booksky #fantasy #dragons

RIP Jane Goodall.

September reading wrap up! #booksky #graphics #storygraph

This weekend I’ll be speaking at @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social’s college fair with tips from a programmer. Students of all ages are welcome to attend! #shortfilm #birmingham #studentfair #filmsky #moviesky

There’s still time to catch @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social alumni film “Oneyda” and a Q&A I did with Yulian Martínez-Escobar online. I was thrilled this nomination from Sidewalk was selected for @filmindependent.org’s Festival Visions program. Watch it now! #filmsky #moviesky #shortfilm

The unwrapped Broken Binding delivery — Ryan Cahill’s The Bound & the Broken series. I totally bought these because I was judging them by their covers. Here’s hoping I like the series! #booksky #fantasy

Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon Sanderson Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #bookreview #fantasy

There are days that I really miss Isaac Toast. Today is one of those days.

Six years ago today, @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social expanded from an annual festival & opened its year-round theatre. Don’t forget to support your local arts — be it film, music, art, or live theater. #indiefilm #localarts #filmsky #movies #birmingham #shoplocal

Godzilla! One of my fav @criterion.bsky.social sets this has numerous articles for your reading pleasure and 15 #Godzilla movies for your viewing pleasure. I also met Akira Takarada in what may have been one of his last appearances. He was excited to sign this as he hasn’t seen it before. #filmsky

Book delivery from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social arrived! I’m letting the anticipation build before I actually unwrap them. #booksky #bookcollecting
