Tigers... once again!

SO excited to finally announce this! If you're familiar with Tiger, Tiger (you NEED to read it if you aren't), you know just how brilliant @pepurika.bsky.social is as a storyteller and artist. Petra's art is jaw-dropping, her characters are easy to love & her writing is imbued with humor and heart ❤️

"We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they're elected. Don't you?" "Why?" "It saves time." Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent (Discworld #22)

It is always a good time to be against fascism.

I have these on my laptop bag and they are a delight! 🌈💜

PERFECTION

Making animated movies into live action: tiresome, unnecessary, lame

Re-making every classic film into a muppet movie with a single human actor: sophisticated, erudite, revolutionary

People will resist ICE in various ways and i promise you nothing scares the state more than when the people who aren't out there throwing rocks at ICE trucks support the people who do.

Fuck ICE

Victory to the rebels

And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.

Oh, I see! Never saw the Orson Welles Treasure Island, but the Muppets are certainly better than George C. Scott imo. 😆 If that's helpful at all.

I mean, that's valid! What was the horrible experience, may I ask?

No one is illegal. No one is an alien. We are all citizens of this planet and we all deserve to be safe.

a man with a beard is wearing a pirate costume and a hat . Alt: Tim Curry as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island standing amidst a shit ton of gold and throwing his arms out in joy.

You don't watch Muppet Treasure Island for a 100% accurate adaptation. You watch Muppet Treasure Island for Tim Curry. Lol.

I absolutely love that movie, though. Up there with A Muppet Christmas Carol for quality.

Long John Silver is one of the most fascinating fictional characters ever, as far as I'm concerned.

a picture of the seal of the president of the united states with the words lex 2016 below it Alt: Film clip (from the tv show Smallville...I think) focuses of the seal of the president of the united states then pans up to reveal Lex Luthor standing behind the desk of the US president. The words LEX 2016 are super imposed over the video.

He tried, okay?!

San Diego's enormous corpse flower looking like aN upside down ballerina.

Maybe it's called a corpse flower because that's a dead ballerina stuffed in a bucket.

The thing that bothers me about F451 is a huge part of books being banned started w/ minorities complaining about the words people used. Bradbury was arguing that book bans would happen on a large scale if our society kept being too politically correct/woke (& confirmed that stance in interviews).

not to be sentimental but I think it’s beautiful that libraries exist and are free and that we can use them. I love that there are so many bookish folk who are always reading and learning. I’m so glad to live in a world where there are books.

OP isn't wrong, but whenever I see images of medieval beekeepers, my first thoughts always gravitate towards @evandahm.bsky.social's The One Electronic (T.O.E.) and that one Neutral Milk Hotel album cover.

"Positive queer idiot representation" certainly has a sizable demographic.

And I don't mean accidentally upped the quantity. I pre-ordered the book from two different websites. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My sister spinning in her new dress: It's like a Disney princess!

My 7yo: Mulan doesn't do that!!

Two copies of The Incandescent by Emily Tesh lie on a wooden surface. The cover is a black background with white text and a line drawing of a phoenix in a gradient from orange to red to yellow.

Bookish problems: I got too excited about @emilytesh.net's new book and accidentally ordered two.

Me, too! Really fell in love with it. Now I'm only bummed I hadn't read it BEFORE the signing. Guess I'll have to catch you next time!

YouTube video by Travis Baldree AI Audio vs Human Narration

Seems like an appropriate time to post this again. It's a comparison of 'good' AI narration vs the real thing.

AI narration is like injecting your fiction with bleach.
Don't do it.
It robs your story of its ability to connect.
