Good for her. More of this sort of thing.

With perfect artwork by Alison Flannery, POISONED SOUP from editors Wendy Dalrymple and Grace R. Reynolds and publisher @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social has a book cover! I have a poem in the anthology, which will published in December. 🥣

Very grateful to the people risking arrest at the Pali-Action rallies this coming week.

Everything being monetised is exhausting now. And it only even works for people who are already popular. Like, nobody is gonna read my blog for free never mind pay for it, but I'm one of the folks who would actually benefit from subscribers. What an energy-sapping time to be alive.

Trying to start selling on EBay again but HSBC won't let me link my bank to them so I guess that's impossible then 😑 why is literally everything unusable now.

I've just listed these guys on my Kofi, but willing to do a direct sale for a bit cheaper if anyone's interested! They'd make an EXCELLENT Christmas gift (I'll show myself out...) ko-fi.com/s/cf4278bf98 #BillandTed #AlexWinter #KeanuReeves #bsnm #handmade #plushies #dollsky #customgifts

I'm reading from Darkness Most Fowl this Sunday 23rd November 2025 and it's gonna be excellent! Visit my blog post for more info and for links to attend diebooth.wordpress.com/2025/11/18/f... #booksky #authorsky #virtualevent #freeevent #shortstories

Free virtual event – readings from Darkness Most Fowl If you're at a loose end this coming Sunday November 23rd 2025, then you can always log on to your choice of social media and listen to a bunch of authors (including me!) read from our Darkness Most Fowl stories and have a chat. This is the…

Sometimes I reread stories I've published for Cursed Morsels and I'm like, hell yeah, I was so right to publish that. Lupus in Fabula is brimming with stories that provoke that reaction. Cover to cover bangers.

I am so confused by Substack but Donal Logue is posting on there now so I've been drawn back onto it 🙃

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

#MorningVibe Yellowstone national park is witnessing a striking ecological recovery, driven by the return of one of the US’s most iconic species, the bison. There’s good news out there if you look for it. 🦬 e360.yale.edu/digest/yello...

Sporadic reminder that all the 'Boomers/Gen X/Millennials/Gen Z/Gen Alpha, delete as applicable, are bad/annoying/whatever' opinions are really reductive and unhelpful. No generation is a monolith and all the good people from each one need to stick together to fight the fascists!

Big chains are always gonna capitalist, so really the best thing everyone can do is support indies instead and tell all your friends and family to support indies instead.

looks like the servers went down at cloudflare, where i work as the server guy. not to worry, i will know how to fix it as soon as i ask chatgpt what to do

Also it's not a club track but I am obsessed with this right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5y0...

Starting to compile the next Last Rites setlist and a) why have I only just learned this exists b) why does it only exist as one fuzzy live recording?! AMAZING www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dlg... #goth #LastRitesChester

Frankenstein's Monster really is getting hotter with every iteration, at this stage it's just Most Popular Guy at the Goth Club.

I've just caught up with this creator's posts on this subject and this is truly horrifying. Payment processors literally out there taking away people's legitimate livelihoods.

Hell yeah, Nightcrawler 💙 (Thread. Nice to be reminded that at least one of my long-time favourites isn't a disappointment.)

Looking at those Blackbeard costume refs and the difference between some bits of the S1 and S2 costume is quite noticeable* *if you have studied to it an obsessive degree for three years, probably 😅

Got a few new pieces of jewellery up on my shops if anyone’s interested! Shares/reposts appreciated US people need to use kofi as it captures your email address that’s needed for US customs now Kofi: ko-fi.com/frankieofmd/... Etsy: buymybootyco.etsy.com

When we say that limiting the rights of marginalised people is the thin end of the wedge: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... What about the people who might feel 'offended' by all these tools aggressively putting British flags up everywhere because they're actually racists?

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

I've said this before, but whilst I admire people's /work/, I will never again admire any /person/ who I don't personally know. I understand wanting to bin media when a creator disappoints you, but I think more important is not continuing to support their work monetarily or by publicly praising it.

Our mate got us tickets to the zoo and we went yesterday and it was such a lovely day. Sunshine, five solid hours looking around the zoo. Saw the bats and the butterflies and the barbary mice 🖤 Had a Magnum! Went on the boat for the first time and had a boat all to ourselves! Lovely.

Just watched the del Toro Frankenstein (spoilers?) I did enjoy it. It looks pretty in the exact way I like (it's basically Crimson Peak II, worth watching for That Wig alone) Mia Goth was the least annoying I've ever seen her, some genuinely gutting reflections on hating people merely for who- 1/

Yesterday my partner came home and presented me with a pot of Superglue with the words "I know what boys like" 😂🖤 He is correct.

I've got a little bit of road trip fiction due out soon in The Razor Magazine December 2025 issue 👀 Check out past issues and look out for the next one here: therazormag.com/archive/ #therazormagazine #literaryfiction #shortstories #roadtrip #lgbtqia #booksky #indieauthor #queerbooks

Desperately trying to get work done and every stupid piece of tech I'm forced to rely on is deciding to collectively shit itself today, from things refusing to download, to Photoshop refusing to save files, to all the images randomly disappearing from my Kofi shop. I am SO DONE.

Really delighted to say that these guys have now found a home. Thank you so so much to everyone who signal boosted this, I appreciate it VERY much. I can still make plushies (any character design!) so if anyone wants a price quote for a design, I provide free no-obligation quotes 🖤

Just heard this for the first time music.youtube.com/watch?v=8Drs... from the ridiculously talented @aquinoauthor.bsky.social - shades of Damian Hearse, lyrics 🖤 absolute banger, I recommend you give it a listen! #goth #gothmusic #gothsky #musicsky #queerartists #lgbtqia #whataretags

Not to brag, but I am also not shit in my 40s 💅 (I'm joking, this is really good motivational advice 🖤)

"let on payment down by a customer" I really am tired aren't I? 😅

I'll be reading from my story 'Little Gibbet' from 'Darkness Most Fowl' on November 23rd at 1pm ET (6pm GMT) on FB, YT, and Insta - I'll post watch links asap! You can also get the book here: www.amazon.co.uk/Darkness-Mos... #booksky #indieauthors #smallpress #horrorbooks #horror #horrorpodcast

I stopped making these custom dolls as they're SO labour intensive to earn even minimum wage I'd have to charge more than anyone would pay. But I did this as a favour for a returning customer and they let me down. I don't have a job, I rely on creative stuff for the tiny income I get. So, yeah 🙃

I have a pair of handmade plushies available - original Star Trek Spock and Kirk. These were commissioned in March and the customer has since ghosted me, so I'm finally trying to sell them on. I guess my fault for trusting people to pay after production. They were originally commissioned for 1/

As an author who will never see success and certainly never see any of my work adapted to screen, it's actually kind of a consolation that I'll also never have someone play one of my characters and then turn out to be a scumbag in some way, thus reflecting negatively on my character 🙃

I don't need to wear a poppy to think about war every single day, mourn the losses of the past and the fact that people's lives are still being destroyed right now by it.

Dunno what the BBC have done now, but can absolutely say that I would not care for even a millisecond if they disappeared off the face of the earth now. Their 'impartiality' has a strangely conservative leaning.

Thread.

Lol this is a bit much even for Farage. Gambling is good for your health, actually, I'm just your friendly matey mate trying to make sure the little kiddies can still put tuppence into seaside arcade machines 🤢
