Holy shit

I got a DM for a free unicorn and took it in exchange for a post. Ponycycle did not get their moneys worth hahaha

BOOK COVER ARTISTS QRP with your book covers 📚 #BookCovers (Retired from illustration last year but here are some of my later covers)

It's either a great time to be getting ready to launch a cosy fantasy with an autistic protagonist, or an extremely bad time. Either way, it's finally happening.

Honestly sick to death of the privileged telling us all to "fight" when our existence has been framed as "rebellion" from day one. And when the kickback from the shit they weaponise for optics will never, ever mean them. We're in this mess because of decades-long majority apathy. Trust.

Nice. Now negotiate a return to the programme known as the EU.

I’m looking for more #art in my scrolling. All kinds. Have you got any recommended accounts, feeds or hashtags to look out for?

I've been working on my author visits this month, so if your schools is looking to book an author to run workshops on building characters, crafting stories or cracking codes, do get in touch via my website. sarahtoddtaylor.com/author-visits/

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

[resentfully] this is genuinely my favourite podcast, it is really very good

"Yes, our minority community has suffered and struggled, but I don't think we've done enough to consider the feelings of the people who want to ensure we still struggle and suffer." If he ever shows his face at Pride he needs to be pelted with so many eggs he becomes part-omelette.

A customer just came into the shop and bought 12 books for her friend’s birthday. She’s going to wrap them individually and write a different month of the year on each one, so her friend has a new book to read every month until her next birthday. And I think that’s just the most thoughtful gift.

OK, books! I've just read The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare by Roxy Chambers (aka @poopraven.bsky.social). An absolute romp. Gleefully taking the piss out of James Bond, out of the whole spy genre, cool characters doing cool stuff and being sarcastic, fights, kissing, what more could you want?

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Yo - so unfortunately in this climate trad publishing doesn’t want us! If we write a Daily Tism book & start our own little publisher to put it out, say in time for next Christmas, who’d buy and read the living shit out of it?

Happy #bivisibilityday from this bisexual editor! I love seeing bisexual representation in books and have acquired quite a few novels now that feature bisexual characters. Agents, please always feel free to send me books with this rep! ❤️

Was sorting laundry and had a video on of @greigarjohnson.bsky.social making a working prop of the Hitchhikers Guide. Naturally (to me at least) he made a 5min film to show it off, and I was overjoyed to see @tombellforever.bsky.social as Ford. Beaurifully done. Bravo! -Ash youtu.be/-431pDOiYRQ?...

I’m honestly so tired of the BS around autism and ‘cause’. I’m yet to see a single case where their motive behind ‘finding the cause of autism’ wasn’t embedded in eugenics. If somebody goes on about finding the cause of autism, always ask why they are seeking it.

THE GUNSLINGER ON THE BEACH (1982) Acrylic on Board - 28" x 18" The winter months of 1980-81 were tough. My wife and I became parents with the arrival of our daughter in November, and I needn't tell anyone who has children what that means in terms of lifestyle changes...like lack of sleep. 1/4
