Consider yourself an Obsidian influencer 😄 I've been using it to write and it's been fantastic!

surprise surprise... SURPRISE SUPRIIIIISE

you will have to pry video essays from my cold dead hands

I made this video 4 days ago.

As of today, Elfashir has completely run out of food, and the earthen barriers RSF have been building around the city are now complete.

Oh, and RSF drones struck a town in Khartoum State and another in Northern State.

In case anyone gaf.

#KeepEyesOnSudan

I know this is not a safe space but I have to share my truth. That meme for 'ogre barely even literate'? That's how I feel about Ursula Le Guin 😭

Gay fan-fic of The Merchant of Venice

This has turned into a sci-fi novel 🫠

Frinkiac meme: Jimbo yelling YOU LET ME DOWN, MAN! NOW I DON’T BELIEVE IN NOTHING NO MORE. at Homer

Every time a publisher announces a new Stephen King pastiche anthology or a focus on reissuing the usual suspects Weird Canon books from a century ago or goes on a signing spree of books by established, reliable authors instead of taking a risk on something unknown or avant garde

SERIOUSLY happy for Shingai, who works hard on their craft and still puts their heart into the things they write!

They are also a 2x Hugo Finalist for co-editing PodCastle, a BFA finalist, have appeared on the Locus Rec List several times, and more. Don't miss out - read their work!

We should be able to reboot books the way directors reboot movies. There are some great ideas out there with shitty execution.

For people asking what cultural regalia he’s referencing, look up Efik/Ibibio traditional dress, particularly the dancers’ dress.

Nigeria is more than Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.

Way too much bullshit from an app that doesn't have drafts

When parakeets cosplay

Well yes!

The Terrence Howard of SFF

This is what happens when you let war criminals get away with their crimes. They will come back and do it again. I feel a lot of guilt about this. My generation was there, we watched it all happen and at some point we just gave up and forgot about him. Big mistake.

Denver needs like 40 years of PR to undo what this season of LIB has done for its reputation. How is it every single cast member 😭

Together (2025)

I didn't immediately get the twist in Peacemaker because in my experience it's not uncommon for the Western shows I watch to not have POC in the background lmaooo he could have been in the Succession universe for all I knew

just thinking about how the fatphobia & anti-immigration sentiments in Desperate Housewives walked so that Weeds could run

Gaza fishermen able to fish for first time thanks to sumud flotilla distraction

they STILL FED MY PEOPLE. 🥹

Kenya based, South African author Zukiswa Wanner is one of the people who was on the Global Sumud flotilla and who have been detained by the Israeli army.

I say it all the time, but imma say it again: a lot of very book smart people lack the emotional education and communication skills that would allow them to generate the courage they want to embody in their work. They are incurious about their own emotional lives, and consequently, those of others.

Fantastic 4/10
