Good morning! I'm still chugging through Speaking Bones, been reading back issues of Beneath Ceaseless Skies to keep myself fresh.

Ready for a non-tome next I think!

I absolutely adore @adapalmer.bsky.social's Terra Ignota quartet, among the best novels I've ever read, but I have to say, a story about how a cabal of elite sexual deviants brought down the global order, culminating in a new world war breaking out at the end of the Olympics hits different right now

WHAT A START!!!! 😍😍

Right, that'll do. The inconsiderate bastards at uefa have scheduled this game right over bedtime so nothing else better happen until my kids are sleeping

Gordon!

Anthony Gordon makes his 15th appearance in the Champions League for Newcastle United, overtaking Shay Given to become the outright top appearance maker for the club in the competition. #UCL

the image shows a wave crashing on a stone, a sort of ghostly fabric hovering over it, framed in lightning, with braille-like constellations superimposed on it

uh oh -- reactor magazine, march 25th ... a totalitarian fairy tale from a treasury of classic Alak folklore

City again... This can only mean we're going through the next two rounds of the champions league just so we can draw them again

I've always loved var tbh, disgrace it's not there tonight

"Silence, in every direction, irrevocable."

Hugo Noms have opened and I want to get in quick with this: there is a fabulous and vibrant contemporary SFF novella scene and the quality is *not* disproportionately located at tordotcom, which puts out brilliant work but does not have a monopoly on it.

5 titles for your consideration follow:

We're going to take that as a big positive, away win, solid performance, didn't fall apart after the equaliser. And we're going to ignore that spurs are shit

Hooray!

FULL-TIME | Spurs 1 Newcastle United 2

THREE POINTS ON THE ROAD!!! 😍

Proper bit of football there with Gordon and Ramsey, need a lot more of that and the finishing

YESSSSSSSSS!!! JJ PUTS US BACK IN FRONT!!!!!!!!! 🤩

Well done boys

As always for var:

Disallow that cunt

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS MALICKKKKK!!!!!!

Wait that var graphic has pissed me off again, what do you mean he was offside by the top inch of his head

Actually it's good for Newcastle that was disallowed, can't drop points from a winning position if we don't take the lead. Eddie's planning a 95th minute winner, I see the vision

Let's take 8 minutes and disallow it that'll be fun

The Willocknaissance continues?!

JOEEEEE WILLLOOOOOCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!

So what is weird fiction, anyway? It's when you read weird fiction.

Oh cheers Willock, thought the reverse jinx was on there. Should've known better

Right let's pack it in lads, no one with any sort of injury worry should be seeing the pitch for the rest of the night, let the kids have a run around

From starting ballet at four to starting writing this in 2021, it’s been a long and winding road but…
The Apple and The Pearl is out TODAY from @titanbooks.bsky.social !!!

Morning morning! I'm just starting Speaking Bones, the last in Ken Liu's dandelion dynasty series. Just the 1000 pages to go then a break from the tomes for a bit I think

Right right right, let's hang in there now, grab an equaliser and send on a teenager to grab the winner. It's got to happen. I'm sure Leo Shahar is just as likely to score as ngumoha was. Guaranteed
