Crimson Peak?

this is great on so many levels. I love it when brilliant art also succeeds financially, I love this affirmation for Coogler and everyone involved, but I am a petty enough bitch to also love it because this is EXACTLY what the suits tried to keep from happening and you know they are SUFFERING rn 😂

A reminder that the UK just passed a transphobic law recently with the help of JK Rowling.

A reminder that even though Rowling wasn't a part of making this game, she still gets money from it because it's her series.

Don't support this at all, you're just giving her more money to harm trans people.

If you play Hogwarts Legacy, it you buy fancy new editions of the Harry Potter books, it you buy Robert Galbraith books, then this is where your money is going.

Tell AI Companies They Do Not Have the Right to Use Your Work I just sent a letter telling AI companies they do not not have the right to use my work. Use the Authors Guild's letter template to send your own.

If your books are among the 7.5 million pirated works on #LibGen, the resource #Meta has been using to train their #AI, you can at least send Meta a letter (using the @authorsguild.bsky.social's handy template) to state that they are violating your copyright.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Ah pal I’m so sorry, it’s so hard watching a pet go through that

Well done!!!

Ooh also if things won’t get bashed about too much in your bag then a macaroni pie - I haven’t tried one myself but every time I go up to Scotland I grab some for my Scottish pals back home bc that’s the thing they miss most

TABLET. It’s like fudge and it’s so good

Huge mood

Ahh look at my girl!!! She’s in good company

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

If you're discriminated against or arrested for being trans in Illinois, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com.

On this dark day in U.S. history, let me repeat what I've said before so there will be no mistaking where I stand —

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

Really enjoyed Nosferatu, the story of the worst work trip Nicholas Hoult has ever taken in his life

I read 80 books in 2024 and I made them into a little movie!! There’s a different colour for each month so you can see exactly what I was reading when. I’m deeply pleased with myself and this is the biggest thing I achieved this year

You’ve actually just solved a mystery for me bc I have been looking at so many recipe reels where they use a dollop of this Mystery Goop but don’t show the label and I’ve been tilting my head going ?? mustard?? So thank you!

Hard same, I’ve grown so used to just lurking quietly

Ziggy, a black and white cat, climbing out of her cardboard cat house, stretching out her right front paw

Truth coming out of her well to shame mankind

GUESS WHAT. I’ve got a new book coming out next year!! If you like vampires, enemies to lovers, bisexuals AND demisexuals making real bad decisions together then oh boy, have I got the book for you. In like May.

This is perhaps the only time I will tell you NOT to buy my books somewhere. Don’t cross the Strand picket line.
