I wonder why we work so hard to criminalise people selling access to their own bodies for their own benefit... yet don't jump at the chance to criminalise people creating non consensual pornographic images of others bodies 🙂 #AI

I appreciated this take. I also often hate Black books becuase they're suchhhh a large percentage of what I read. That's kinda how it works. But also me hating the art doesn't invalidate it, or mean it shouldn't exist. #blackbooksky leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com/item/yzMlWTg...

I feel like today's moon is also pretty super.

Buffalo hunter hunter: I deeply appreciate the detailed discussion of when to eat baked goods and the consideration our MC puts into attempting to pace himself #booksky

"The rumble, I’m used to. It’s going almost all the time but with her it increases to growls, with no break. The timbre enough to warm the base of my spine. The sound like ongoing building work in an unending city..." Read The Monster by @nomonbooks.bsky.social inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-9-the-...

I do have a new squash winner btw for anyone who was following that saga. It's still not as good as original Aldi 😭

I am so hyped to read this whole issue! For my part... I feel that writing any more words about the piece will only detract from it. It's called The Monster & I invite you to sit with it, with me. CW: homophobia, racism, sexual content, fatphobia & child abuse (referenced)

Very obsessed with Ghost Leopard by @crystalkoo.bsky.social Read here: inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-9-ghos... An achingly beautiful illustration of what can be built in place of a broken heart. Deliciously speculative. Published in @innerworlds.bsky.social

So delighted to have gotten a chance to read it! I have such a clear visual on the final scene I don't think I'll be able to shake it 🔥 inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-9-pupa...

My eyes are too tired to read ATM but all I want to do is keep going on the inner worlds zine 😂 however, I AM very much enjoying the Son of the Morning audiobook #blackbooksky #booksky inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-nine-e...

Watching everyone encounter the brilliant stories that I've been thinking about for the last two months is absolutely the best bit of getting a new issue out 🥰

ahh this story has me feeling all sorts of ways…so good I am now thinking of the monster in my own house

A haunting story about periods, bodies, and the moon. The end of a relationship that might also be the end of the world. There's always an opportunity to be true to oneself. Even at the last moment. by @nomonbooks.bsky.social in Phano @ammansabet.bsky.social

I'm not a big Christmas person but also - when else can I have a TREE in my house?!?

The Palestine Action case is really simple. What terrorism have Palestine Action committed? None. Case Closed.

I just want to take a moment to appreciate how cute and published I am. www.phano.co/contributors... You're welcome.

💀 how stressed am I about doing a course about facilitating stress reduction techniques 🙃

We’ve been conditioned to believe that empathy, care, and justice are scarce resources, and that if someone gains rights or support, someone else must lose them. This isn't the case. We made this shit up. Wanting better for everyone isn’t a threat, it’s the foundation of collective liberation!!

How did I get a job, a bike and turn into someone who goes for a quick cycle over lunch in, like two weeks.

My nesting partner wants us to be a cycling family. Not sure how I feel about this.

Does anyone else find they're more unmasked when masking? Someone apologised for being in my way (??) on the train this morning and I started to try and make the appropriate face for the interaction, then realised I was wearing a mask and dropped all expression immediately. Felt like a relief. #life

Is it weird that I like going places and taking pictures of books on shelves that I read or that I own? I get all excited like I'm seeing an old friend. Two old friends in this one specifically. Any guesses? #booksky #blackbooksky

Aldi have changed their recipe for orange squash and it's the only way I drink water so it's time for... SQUASH AUDITIONS. #life

I just finished the dystopian fantasy - Cry, Voidbringer by Elaine Ho & this book took a hammer to my heart so many times I'm surprised I survived the experience. Suffice to say, it was a wonderful experience. #booksky #blackbooksky

I first thought finishing a draft would feel like climbing a mountain. Instead, it feels like reaching a cliff and seeing 12 more taller mountains in the distance. #booksky #art #writer

I am LOVING to ride a rising storm. #booksky

Omg kids (and NGL a fair few adults) need headphones for public transport because this wild. Four competing sets of phone noise 😭 maybe I need ear defenders.

I read Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler this year and I can still visualise so much of it in my mind's eye as if it were a memory. Can't have a Black Speculative Fiction month without her. Needed some time to recover after that book though! #blackbooksky #booksky

I read YA sparingly & only if it's queer and/or POC. That said, Pet by Akweke Emezi is wonderful. Genre - Black Speculative Fiction. Lucille didn't feel like a fantasy to me. Every part touched this reality & a book for kids that discusses CSA in this way. Ofc I ate it up #booksky #blackbooksky
