As they were packing *20* cases of dynamite into the carcass, did no-one think "gee, is that a bit much?"

I've read the whole Shadowshaper Cypher and the series remains a favourite to this day. Very imaginative stuff, and just fun to read, too.

SHADOWSHAPER turned 10 in June, can you believe it? And I still get messages like that and invitations to talk about it. It did not drop with a huge bang, didn't hit the list for months, but man it's got some long walking legs on it, baby! Deeply grateful.

Can't begin to describe how much this means to me and how moved I am by it. Thank you. The honor is beyond words 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Oh I went and found it when I saw your post and then threw up in my mouth a little because WTFFFFF

"Lose my email" 🔥🔥🔥

Hello. If your play calls what's happening in Gaza a “conflict” & a “war”, centers the story of two white people’s marriage "torn apart after Oct 7" to do it & involves no Palestinians in “the team” in the process please stay the fuck out of my inbox with your complimentary tickets. Thank you.

I really liked this one!! Maybe one of my top ten this year

But Not Too Bold

I've been having lots of Spider Folk thoughts recently -- not the Marvel, Sony, or Puig kind, just free and independent ones -- so it was such a pleasure to read this incredible novella by one of my new favorite authors @hachepueyo.bsky.social

Techchauvism in a nutshell. You can be a trash human being if you are good at one tech thing.

Please don't forget Gaza, don't forget Adham and his family 💕💸🍉

Haha yeah that was my first thought so that's probably it

Oh I dunno hmm

Weird of them not to ask me! I'm right here! Hello!

A long room with a scrubbed concrete floor and white plastic sheeting lining the walls. There are two large rugs on the floor and three mattresses with cushions, plus a small stand for a coffee pot and, in the foreground, a partially visible chest of drawers.

Big thanks to everyone who contributed to help Samaa create this new home for her family. It's simple but much better than being in a tent. All she needs now is a large rechargeable battery so they can have lights on at night. gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social #Gaza 🍉

Photo of Ms Rachel, wearing denim overalls, a pink tshirt, headband and smiling while waving.

Photo of Mychal Threets wearing a black sweatshirt with rainbow library joy design, smiling and holding his hands in a heart shape.

In a world full of terrible role models for young people, I’m so glad there are also smart, joyful and empathetic people like Ms Rachel and Mychal Threets.

Sarah Kendzior • 4m I've been suspended from BlueSky. I don't know why. I wasn't online much today, and the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles. The suspension followed without explanation. It seems there's a crackdown. If you enjoy my work and want to make sure you can access it, subscribe! It's free - I would never paywall in times of peril — and voluntary paying subscribers keep it going. It would be great to have your support at this time. Thanks!

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Hello @support.bsky.team why has
@sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

Besides everything else amazing about Mobland it's incredible to see Pierce Bronson truly letting loose and having this much fun. Had no idea from his Bond work that this monster was in him (affectionate)
