@matociquala.bsky.social There was this book I fell madly in love with; Blood and Iron. The protagonist had to seduce a female Merlin, tame a phooka, evade a queen's traps, while her werewolf husband had incredible chemistry with his rival. This was just scratching the surface of what was there. 🥰

One more hour! Come see me!!

The books a writer reads are so important; they form a compost bed beneath the rosebushes of her own #writing. BEN DOLNICK

If Trump & Melania & the FCC had just ignored Kimmel's crack, it would have been forgotten by the next morning. Most people, myself included, wouldn't even have known he said it. But now WE ALL KNOW. & we can't forget about it because they won't shut up about it. ANOTHER OWN-GOAL FOR TRUMP.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple cups of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of scones, you will have accomplished more than enough.

“Four Pages A Day—I Gotta Be Out Of My Mind…” Jeff Baker, Boogieman In Lavender. April 2026 www.queerscifi.com/four-pages-a...

This novel is the sum and summit of who Vonda was and what her work was about: all of us, imperfect, and doing our best. It’s an alt-history that feels like the beginning of the world. A world we could still have, if we’re lucky.
