I had intended to be at World Fantasycon, but I fear a combination of budget and it falling across the high holy days of my people (halloween, goths) make that rather less likely than I'd originally hoped. If there are day tickets and I'm not *wildly* hungover or unconscious, maybe Saturday...?

Curious about Eastercon Iridescence but not sure your finances can stretch for you to attend? Check out the bursary scheme (details in the quoted post and link) and don’t self-reject.

Tomorrow is Wednesday, which means I'm back to my usual nonsense... but I'll be playing some of @robustgames.bsky.social LOCO MOTIVE for a change. For redacted redeasons, I've got to head to Glasgow in the evening, so I'll be on track from 1pm BST tomorrow! www.twitch.tv/willvoiceit

It’s official! We decided to have a small convention next 8-9 May. We have the terrific @annasmithspark.bsky.social and Adrian Tchaikovsky as our guests of honor. You can find out more on our website norncon.org We’d love it if you could join us! And if you’re at Octocon today say hi to Tommy!

In DLC III for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader you'll get a closer look at the Necrons: cold and soulless creatures, trapped in the bodies of metal. Discover a secret vault of Trazyn and dive deeper into Necron conflicts. #Warhammer40000 #RogueTrader

Behold my rogue trader in all his "it's not heresy if I do it because I say so" glory

And I don't know what the "wider efficiencies" they are talking about are but I am more interested in public services being resilient and well funded than efficient, to be honest. We saw during the pandemic that e.g. efficient supply chains are vulnerable to shocks.

What an expertly called shot

Lads, if you've tried to DM me on here it won't work until I get around to setting up a VPN or some shit. Bsky won't let me see my messages unless I give them my ID, and I'm not giving personal data to a third party like that. grab me on discord if you need me for anything.

Got this lush art from @artwins.bsky.social as a treat for hitting the properly high levels in our D&D campaign - my dear warlock Marbas and his current collection of followers & cultists! Testament to the fact that you CAN play lawful evil in a chaotic good party if you know how to cooperate.

30 years! Happy anniversary, Xena.

I am still alive even if I don't post on here much. Pullo is also still alive, but every time I try to take his photo he headbutts me to demand affection and snacks. Jimothy is also still alive even if he mostly looks like this, snoring.

I can't believe this. Like, actually can't believe that a judge would look at the words: "providing services for the purpose of finding persons employment with employers or of supplying employers with for employment by them." and think that doesn't apply to Spotlight.

hey, if you've DM'd me about something I have been locked out of my DMs because I don't wanna give random websites my ID and personal information to prove I'm a real adult. sorry. ping me on discord or something instead if you can.

Not one but two cover reveals: the next two books in the Tyrant Philosophers series get an unveiling: adriantchaikovsky.com As with the previous books these are the work of the incredible Joe Wilson, with a host of little details drawn from the book.

*looks at timeline* *looks at news* *looks at weather* all right, screw this, I'm gonna make pina coladas and play videogames for the rest of the day.

Shaw! Pose cutely with the new ARC so I don’t have to do something artful with flowers and a coffee cup.

Will's streams are delightfully chaotic, and a good use of one's afternoon if working from home

MCM tomorrow. And Saturday. And Sunday. I will look like my profile pic for at least part of Saturday.

Fun bit of news this morning… I can officially say that I’m a part of #GoTKingsroad ! You can hear me as a few different voices throughout Westeros: store.steampowered.com/app/3183280/... Thanks as ever to @voicefox.bsky.social

Giving this a quick bump for those who might be interested, as the situation'll be coming to a head very shortly after #SaintPatricksDay... (And profound thanks to those who've already grabbed a bargain, supported on Ko-foi, and/or reblogged! It's making a *BIG* difference.)

I don't use this "main" bsky as much as I thought I might because... well... turns out that following a bunch of people I like in SFF turns my feed into a relentless flood of depressing American politics. And sometimes I like to have a place I can go that isn't that.

Oh hey here's books I published this year that were excellent--I would love for Navigational Entanglements to be considered for best novella. ❤️

Not unexpected. And concerning. https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0212/1496410-chocolate-climate-change/

Hey @aptshadow.bsky.social and any other spider enthusiasts, have you seen this lego set that's up for voting? ideas.lego.com/projects/24e... (set of three different jumping spiders to build with lego, including an unfolding, posable display for the Peacock Spider)

Here’s a checklist to assist downloading gov’t data in ways that support future usability: libraries.mit.edu/data-managem...

Hello new people. I have two books coming out this year from @tordotcom.bsky.social: The Emilie Adventures, a revised compilation of the two Emilie which have been out of print for awhile (art by Colin Verdi), in May, and Queen Demon, the sequel to Witch King, (art by Cynthia Sheppard) in October.

So a sequel to Labyrinth is planned, without Terry Jones to write it, or David Bowie to play the Goblin King? My interest is zero. For the love of the great whatever high atop the thing, movie moguls, buy some new and different stories instead of looking backwards to save a buck reworking old ideas.

Politics is continuing to happen, so I have decided upon the wisdom of not looking at that and instead digging up my favourite goth bands from 2005 Turns out Rome Burns and Manuskript are still on bandcamp! Admittedly I no longer have a CD player, but owning a physical lyrics booklet is tempting...

Please sign. Parliament have intially dismissed this out of hand; so now we need to push the point to get a debate. Every signature is someone standing up and going on record to say that the Cass Report is nothing more than a cheap stunt for the ideologically driven persecution of a minority.

UK FOLKS! I know of two full-time salaried roles in tabletop that will soon be open for: - Editor - Games Developer Ideally based in/willing to move to Nottingham, UK. And I've been asked for recommendations! I'll be prioritising marginalised folks, so please: DM me for details, comment and tag!

My wish for everyone in 2025 is that all creators can purge the word "content" from their lexicon you're not making content my friend you are making vlogs, webcomics, sculpture, paintings, crafts, zines, music, etc etc just tell people what you make

I find that I am entering my "block early, block often" era as I begin to follow more people and thereby encounter People With Some Takes in the replies.

If you're looking for a way to help without leaving your house, fuck up a greedy landlord's day!
