“Love those telepaths."

a picture of the moon with the words massive nuclear Alt: A clip from the opening credits of the TV show Space: 1999.

All the talk of “nuclear this and that on the moon” tells me a lot of people who never watched Space: 1999 probably need to.

And speaking of that, look what showed up in the mail today! #BookSky

Surprise! :)

And it’s a charming and heartfelt story to boot. (And, as @mtford.bsky.social said, it has dogs, and dogs make everything better.) #queerYA

Geez, do they have to throw it in everybody’s face like that?

And if you’d like to get a taste of what @diannalgunn.bsky.social can do to billionaires, read the story she wrote for me and then go commission your own. Grab a slaught before they’re all taken!

I’ve already added the link and my clicky-pointer is just hovering over “publish”—in 5, 4, 3, 2...

“Slaughts.” I love it!

(Does this mean I can post the thing now? 😈)

Happy Monday! Just a reminder that the book banners surged to power by targeting local elections that usually have low participation. We're not going to let that happen again. Look up your upcoming local elections today, research the candidates/issues, get involved, make a voting plan.

Welcome to another week! Is that SOB dead yet?

No?

*sigh*

Well, there’s always next week.

She did ’70s glitz so well and I miss that.

I can’t explain how much I adored Loni Anderson. From WKRP to Partners in Crime, she was a bombshell who ignited her own path. You set heaven on fire, Jennifer Marlowe. You will be missed.

a woman with blonde hair and a white jacket is standing in front of a pink fence Alt: Our lord and savior Kylie Minogue shakes her head and smiles.

And lastly…

a woman in a star trek uniform is holding a cup and a tray . Alt: Captain Janeway looks up from a padd with an expression that says, “Seriously?”

And also…

There are days, and then there are *days*, you know?

ACAB, and some are useless to boot.

Is Broccoli right for you? Ask your doctor or pharmacist… or first officer and chief engineer.

a group of men standing in a room with the words " you do fosse fosse fosse " on the bottom Alt: Robin Williams in The Birdcage sashays across a stage as other performers look on and he says, “…you do Fosse Fosse Fosse…”

Armand wouldn’t be happy, either.

If my mp3 file were vinyl, I would have worn this song tf out.

Make it gay and I’m totally in.

Dr. Crusher looks skeptical. I can’t imagine why.

I love a good pun, and @dinsdalepress.bsky.social and @caitgauthor.bsky.social do not disappoint. This sounds awesome.

Is there celebratory cake?! There should totally be cake. Woo hoo!

a woman with long hair is standing in front of a window and says it 's me . Alt: Taylor Swift’s video for “Anti-Hero” in which Taylor answers the door and it’s… Taylor. Taylor at the door says, “It’s me,” whilst Taylor answering the door says, “Hi.” Taylor at the door then says, “I’m the problem, it’s me."

Oh, those telepaths. 😂

Believe me when I say that you’re gonna love @nathanburgoine.bsky.social's latest hi-lo YA, DOGS DON’T BREAK HEARTS.

Ooh! That means my print copy is probably on its way. (I can’t even remember which bookstore I ordered it from….)

My gut reaction is Enterprise, but also the Kelvin timeline despite the Sulu throwaway reference.
