Absolutely :/ I feel rlly bad for everyone at Arcbeatle. At least all the Bullshit makes trevor spencer FP fair game to make fun of, bc having consumed some of it, GOD it is peak comedy. I would be charmed if it came from a fannish 13yo but instead it's fun to blanch at in horrified amusement

<3

Aw, thanks!
That particular post was a decent-sized influence on this article... that screenshot was sitting there in the blogspot draft before I'd written any of what's in the finished post LOL

Thank you! Lovely to hear from one of my favorite creatives in the world of FP :D

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.

(Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

Drawing of me smiling and giving a thumbs-up, wearing a tee shirt that reads, "This idiot passed out while watching Iron Lung"

Saw most of #IronLung today, good movie :)

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

i didn't know this kind of conversion was a thing that's so fucking cool

did you know? the Rail Corridor isn't the first abandoned railway in Singapore to be turned into a walking trail, nor is it even the second. Today we're at Duxton Plain Park, the oldest "rail corridor" in Singapore.

happy to see ppl enjoy my stuff :3 it's heartening bc i really do just post whatever i want, whenever i want, and its lovely that that can resonate with ppl. and ever the better when others get inspired to learn about languages/translation and express their own selves in similar ways!!

i'm never going to get around to finishing this, am i?

A cropped version of the illustration for Kate Orman's new Faction Paradox prose vignette Great Pearl Girl. It is a black-and-white image depicting a four-headed ram-god similar to Banebdjedet, standing against a stark black sky lit by a single sun or moon. Each ram-head has only a single eye, and those of the two central heads merge together into one, making three eyes in all.

Tonight, the #FactionParadox website is proud to present an exclusive interview with @kateorman.bsky.social, editor of "Liberating Earth" for @obversebooks.co.uk — and a new vignette tying in with that book's framing story!

Faction Paradox - Spinning Jenny [REVIEW] Hello! I'm Glass Shard, and this is my blog! Expect book reviews, and perhaps other things too occasionally.

I've been slacking on posting my reviews on bluesky, so ... here's my recent review of Faction Paradox: Spinning Jenny 👀
blog.shards.blue/2025/08/fact...

A drawing of June Gazpacho from Disparate Minds. She’s an inquisitive looking blonde woman. Behind her is a purple swirl that looks perhaps out of watercolor.

A drawing of Wick Elden from Disparate Minds. A masc presenting non-binary person with faint dark blue hair. They’re wearing a turtleneck and a purple jacket with pins. Smoke surrounds them.

A drawing of Serena Taj from Disparate Minds. She’s a mixed-race teenager with a sullen expression and stringy, dark hair. Her face is illuminated with the light of her phone.

A drawing of Anthea ______ from Disparate Minds. She is a classy, imperious looking African American woman. She is middle aged, wearing fancy earrings and her hair is full and long. She is surrounded by darkness.

They’re doing their best.

Faction Paradox - The Book of the Enemy [REVIEW] Hello! I'm Glass Shard, and this is my blog! Expect book reviews, and perhaps other things too occasionally.

New review— The Book of the Enemy!
blog.shards.blue/2025/07/fact...

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

TARDIS Guide · A complete guide to Doctor Who Your guide to everything from the worlds of Doctor Who. Episode lists, transcripts, quotes, reviews, & more. All of time and space - where do you want to start?

how am i only just finding out about @tardis.guide it’s like letterbox for autism (it literally has all extended media and like you can filter it by character omg this is great) tardis.guide #doctorwho #torchwood
