Obviously I'm not really active on here. No hate to bluesky, I just vibe better with #mastodon. So I'll be bridging my posts from the fediverse at the account below. Follow the bridgy bot and drop a comment on the quoted post and I'll be able to follow you from Mastodon.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Watched both Heretic (2024) and Sinners (2025) over the past couple of days. I was much more enamoured with the latter, though Heretic wasn't bad by any means. Sinners, though, was pure magic.

Queer Bluesky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now? I was 13 or 14 when I came out as bisexual, I think. Hard to say. I was never really 'in' I just didn't have the language to describe things succinctly when I was younger than that. I'm 34 now.

An autistic woman is using her name recognition to bring awareness about genocide and putting her own body in harms way because you don’t care about people getting tortured unless they’re white. Try that for a headline, chaps.

From the actual story content to the structure - mosaic narratives, smashing together genres, scrapbook media, wild tonal shifts. Its all there!

And less than 15 months in they've already doomed themselves simply by being themselves. All they had to do was not be monsters and the people who didn't know any better would have held them up as heroes but they just couldn't not be monsters.

First look at the distillery in my short horror story, Old Tom. Available in full for free here: www.ferenbrooke.com/short-storie... #horrorfiction #horrorlit #WritingCommunity #shortstory

A screenshot of some text from the story linked above. It reads: Blackwell Road branched off Stone Street on the other side of the bridge. The old distillery was just a short ways up the road, visible from Stone Street proper. I had vague recollections of standing outside it as one of a clutch of teenage boys, sharing a cigarette after youth club. Just one of many disused relics, its fallow grounds and chipped bricks hadn’t seemed worthy of note to my young mind. Indeed, until we rounded the corner onto Blackwell Road and it filled the sky in front of us, I couldn’t quite conjure a solid image of the place. Even now, looking back, the exact angles elude me. The slope of the roof surely wasn’t as steep as I remember it, the angles at which the walls met could not have been as sharp as my mind’s eye holds them to be.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

This is untrue on most major issues (though the media eıite don't know this). It is untrue on immigration in particular. Untrue on climate, on Trump, on human rights, on inciting racism. And much else

So, given that I post short horror stories on my own website, would the #webfiction hashtag be appropriate? Or is that usually just for serials in particular (SFF?) genres on platforms like Royal Road?

Three separate BBC News headlines thus far today on the shooting of a white nationalist misogynist in the US (with one of those guns he was so keen on everyone owning) And nothing, not a word on the landing page (as of 6.50pm tonight) on a racist sex crime - a racist *gang rape* - in the actual UK?

Little sample from my short horror story, The Landlord. You can read it here on my website: www.ferenbrooke.com/short-storie... #horrorlit #WritingCommunity #horrorfiction

A screenshot of text from the story linked above. It reads: "Lucy sat alone in her top-floor flat and worried. Chris had been at Albert’s house for four hours at least. She occupied her usual perch, the ledge under the window, opened a crack, with a hefty glass of Tempranillo and a family pack of digestive biscuits. Her gaze flitted back and forth between the front door and the rearmost window on the ground floor of the landlord’s house, clearly visible from her high vantage point. She’d quickly figured out that said window belonged to Albert’s sculpting workshop; though the glass was frosted as one would expect in a bathroom, he occasionally opened it an inch or two. A keen eye could glimpse a table occupied by myriad tools and a stout wooden chair flecked with grey clay. A keen eye with the aid of binoculars, that is."
