Image of The Backwards Knight, sitting next to a stack of parchment, all on a faded wooden-planked surface. Parchment reads: Gaulf Hapless farmboy. Smells of baked goods. Likes long walks out by mysterious lakes. Stays out way too late. On the run from his future. BEWARE: MARKED BY MAGIC.

Let's delve into another character bio: Gaulf.

This hapless farm boy finds himself marked by magic, usually a death sentence should The Paladin or his ilk find out.

On the run, besieged by magical visions, can he find help?

The BBC running a story about Bob Vylan's "controversial statements" but only showing this portion of their backdrop... HMM. HMM. HMMMMMM.

Another thing you can do for the queer artists and writers and so on whose work you admire this Pride month: go give their books etc solid star ratings on (sigh) sites like Amazon and Goodreads. Because people who hate the existence of that work are always gonna be punitively low-rating them,

“disabled people have to prove that their lives matter” how about we dropkick you eugenicist pieces of garbage directly into the sun. whack you into the atmosphere with canes and crutches like a baseball with a baseball bat. etc.

Although it seems to be unavailable right now, please show some love to Inara: Light of Utopia, an anthology of utopian works from Queer and Trans Palestinian writers: www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to be scaroused.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

I don’t know how to fix a situation in which opinions like “Feeding and housing children is good actually” and “Rich people should pay their fair share of taxes” are controversial but I do know moving away from these positions is a moral failure.

Image of a paper wrapped book partially torn to reveal part of the cover for The Backwards Knight, sitting next to a stack of parchment, all on a faded wooden-planked surface. Parchment reads: The Paladin Hates magic. Hates mages. Hates elves. Hates you. Right bastard. Do not romanticize.

Day 4 brings us something...different.

You've met Orn, Laela, and Gaulf, the three main characters.

Now, meet the overarching antagonist: The Paladin. A man twisted by his hatred of magic, driving Laela to hunt those who dare use it.

Cover reveal soon. Preorders soon. GET HYPE.

"People need to realize that criminalizing porn is not ever really about just criminalizing adult content — it's about criminalizing representations of sexuality and gender, and ultimately criminalizing those practices and communities."

The fact this family appears in News articles and topics and became news media famous and their account was deleted on BlueSky suggests BlueSky moderation is not deleting accounts because they think that Palestinian accounts are spam let alone fake. It is very blatant suppression of Palestinians.

This is your reminder to leave a review for that indie book you just read :)

Selfie of me and my boyfriend. I'm wearing a leopard print shirt with glasses, he's wearing a grey Henley. We're smiling like normal people usually do.

Selfie of me and my boyfriend. I'm wearing a dark red top and my glasses, he's wearing a nerdy Wonder Woman t-shirt and smiling. I'm sticking my tongue out and grimacing as though I'm about to lick him and expecting an unpleasant taste or sensation from his beard.

Another trip down, and the goodbyes are getting harder. I really need to get my shit together so I can be with my nerd every day until the day I die first.

I love you @thenerdyrican.bsky.social ❤️

Sick of seeing arguments about the inefficacy of collectively turning off the money faucet to someone who has personally funded global efforts to strip away the already-precarious rights and safety of trans folks. If you want to live that life, do it away from me and stop wasting time equivocating.

Why would anybody want to associate with people who don't consider genocide a red line?

Family, this is at 88% as of this posting, which is awesome & y'all are amazing, but they need to get this funded before the end of the month. Cis folks especially, I know I've been banging this drum for a while, but it remains true that direct donations to trans people will always do the most good.

It would really mean the world to me if people would share details of my event for THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET, Tuesday 29th April in Glasgow! If you have queer friends, tell them! Or if you think you'd enjoy a book which kills Mr Collins off, come along!

So. We're a bunch of artists and writers surrounded by AI gouging out the soul of Hayao Miyazaki for clout, and triple-fried ghost-written celebrity "novels" written by people who hate writing for people who hate books.
I can think of no better reason to dig your heels in. Create out of spite.
