I know this has not always been the point or the format of the Godzilla franchise but in TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA we're finally seeing a villain with a fun motivation (petty academic grudge, "my dinosaur is better than yours") and that's lots of fun also Titanosaurus is the new best baby

really telling that my friend group calls the creature from Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN “the baby” “leave the baby alone!!!!” “nooooooo the baby!!!!” “give the baby everything he wants”

It's Straith's awards eligibility post for 2025!! I'm putting forward two of the three stories I had published this year for your consideration. I'd love especially if you'd consider "Fishwife" for the Aurora Award for Short Fiction, since it's my mémère story 💜

today's "get more fruit/fibre" trick (which I did have to start yesterday) was cooking down 2 cups of frozen berries on the stove and mashing it up a bit, then adding chia seeds and letting it cool to make a jam - had it this morning on reheated frozen pancakes and then again with some plain yogurt

I keep making the mistake of opening up tabs and things and exposing myself to the writing opinions of others and taking them real personal meanwhile I am 1-3 days of work away from finishing this draft posting this as a note to self to just LOG OFF AND FINISH THE BOOK

In fact, let’s do this. Comment with what you’re looking for and I’ll try to recommend a read from a Palestinian author for you from my reading list. I’ll do my best to find you a match.

being in a strategy meeting where two men participants "participate" by just repeating back to the woman presenter exactly what she said

Last night I watched GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA with friends, and am continuing to enjoy the “kaiju battles as pro wrestling matches“ evolution we’ve been seeing in more recent films… I for one welcome King Caesar as a high-mobility high-speed high-fun ground combatant

this remains one of my favourites among what I’ve had published to date 🧡 sometimes, the little things

THISSSSSS people use the term “computer vision” where it is warranted challenge

hey Bluesky I hear you like sports I have a science fiction sports story for you it only contains a MODERATE amount of sports-induced hallucination

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

are the modern era godzilla films courageous enough to adapt Jet Jaguar? id like to see them try... what kaiju couldn't use a size-changing robot friend with jet flight and superior wrestling skills

they updated godzilla and he's not as cute anymore (GODZILLA V MEGALON [1973]) :(((((((((((((((((

There he goes

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Don’t cross the line buds! Solidarity with the workers!

i said i wasn't going to repost this stuff but Tyler is correct. have been saying this offline for weeks: "You know who isn't in the Epstein files? 1,000,000 trans people." it's absolutely the media and the GOP doing the old magician's trick of making the country attack... us trans folks i guess.

neither grimdark nor hopepunk, but a secret third thing (absurdism in technicolour)

someone is probably already doing this but dear monsterverse please let me pitch you a comedy monsterverse film that does for the franchise what thor: ragnarok did for the mcu

if your godzilla isn't wall-eyed and a little bit goofy then what are you doing

I haven't seen the monsterverse films yet, but if they don't contain this level of cuteness and humour then I'm gonna be miffed

Convincing you to read my most beloved short story - share yours if you want 👀

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.
