I only have one panel for @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social but it's my favourite topic in the world and I'm already excited!

Going to be a great weekend.

Honestly something which really seems to have gotten worse in recent years is people mistaking "oh this isn't to my tastes" with "this is an awful thing that nobody could ever enjoy."

Very sad to see On Spec go.

They ran a great magazine and the one story I ran with them was a great experience.

They brought a lot to the SFF scene.

He has the money to never do anything again yet he keeps doing his best to make the world a worse place.

He's got commitment to the cause.

Absolutely. I do find it incredibly frustrating that the creative arts, in all it's forms, is one of the areas the UK is still absolutely incredible in, it brings in billions, and successive governments seemingly hate it?

It's fine. Just throw writers, artists and other creative jobs onto the fire do he can keep the bubble going 🙄

Congrats. That's awesome 🙌

I'll definitely get one for my office if you do!

Well this article feels like a great excuse to rewatch the mummy!

Not that I need much. It's a classic.

Well this sounds great!

Ah that's good. Still painful and intrusive, but probably the best of the results! :) be back in no time.

Oh that's excellent! Did they shave the meniscus?

Hope it goes as well as it can.

You'll be walking before you know it. I had 6 weeks with mine and it went by seemingly overnight lol.

I'm hyped!

You definitely can. How many works have you had out now?

Always back yourself 😁

It's definitely doable? A friend recently had a story in uncanny entirely told in goodreads comments. Lol.

You know it's a good stick when your dog lies down to pose with it!

Someone has to die to balance the books?

Last week I got bronze in the over 100kg Pro Division at the British open.

I won British over 30's earlier in the year and wanted to challenge myself.

One no show, one loss and a dominant win against a giant means I'm pretty happy!

Middle aged IT managers aren't prime athletes but not the worst

Definitely beats playing with system design documents!

Your job sounds so much cooler than mine!
And better story material.

That is one fancy cake!

Congrats 👏

This can't be real? Explore, it's got to be a fake company 😂

My knees agree with this statement.

If you're ever in Yorkshire please take him. Then I can eat in peace 😂

And not have to protect my windowsills as he gets stuck...

No cat, but would you accept my dog judging me for eating an ice cream?

3 hours is a long time. I don't know if I talk 3 hours in a day total. Lol.

@charlotteashley.bsky.social has been working day and night to put this writing con together.

It's going to be incredible and you can now buy tickets 🙌

I didn't even know they made this early. Lol.
