Because it brings me joy. I love stories, I love reading, I love writing, I love editing. Wouldn't bother otherwise, it's a buttload of work!

I read through a fair bit of my manuscript this week and am really happy with how it's shaping up. However, the second half of the book is not as strong and I can already see some changes I'll have to work on to bring it together. that's next week's challenge. #writingupdate #amwriting

I can't believe I haven't read Raybearer before! Loved it! What an amazing story with an expansive and detailed world full of colors and spices. It was nonstop and I was hooked the whole. Can't wait to read the second! #booksky #fantasy

Youtube, Meta and Tiktok all suppressing free speech by blocking adverts for a Musk documentary with the reason being "political content." I'm not too sure how this would fall into the political ad category, but anyway let's hope the documentary makes an impact.

I saw it while seeking contemporary Aboriginal music to show my (very young) students, because in teaching Aboriginal culture I think we emphasise the past too much, and my students were curious about the present. I viewed it in this great selection.

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.

With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.

I recently finished The Spear Cuts through Water by Simon Jimenez and it was STUNNING. The world was luscious and raw and violent and the prose gorgeous. It was told in one of the most fascinating structures I have ever experienced! It's a must- read

I read this and it was amazing! A reflective and haunting story of a dying mother navigating her trauma of the past while her daughter navigates her identity in the present. It skillfuly wove through time, place and perpspective and had beautiful prose. Highly recommend! #horror #booksky

Trans Rights Readathon @trreadathon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

The Trans Rights Readathon is right around the corner. We've got some exciting new plans this year, and we're compiling some resources for indie authors. Many of them are still in the works and will be announced publicly throughout March. 🤍💗💙 #TRR26 #transrightsreadathon #indieauthors

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the image, are two graphics from artist PocketMilo. In one, a brown-skinned person with purple hair and a pink outfit, smiles while holding a potted houseplant. Opposite, a brown-skinned person with green hair and vitiligo gives a haircut to a light-skinned person with red hair and prominent top surgery scars. Text reads: Is Your Book a Good Fit? The Trans Rights Readathon encourages readers to seek out works by and/or about trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender non-conforming authors or main characters.

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. A graphic by artist PocketMilo appears at the bottom of the slide, and depicts two people embracing. Their faces are partially obscured. They are surrounded by lush vines. A trans pride flag is visible on the back of the nearer figure’s coat. Text reads: If So, You Should Know… We heard you last year when you said that you wanted more resources for the event. Which is why...

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the page, a graphic by artist PocketMilo shows two light-skinned people lying side-by-side in bed with their legs intertwined. One has visible top surgery scars, is wearing plaid shorts, and has fallen asleep while holding a book. The other wears baggy pants, socks, and a crop top, and is reading a book. Text reads: We’re Planning Something Big! If you’re interested in learning more, send an email with the subject line “Indie Author” to transreadathon@gmail.com, and we’ll forward the details to help you plan ahead.

I loved Sargassa by Sophie Burnham! A political intrigue novel from the perspectives of those resisting, it was tightly written and totally gripping! Also, there is a third gender, and everyone is queer. Awesome. Can't wait to start the second. #alternativehistory #sargassa #booksky

"So much of writing is fun. It's first letting your interests and your imagination take you anywhere at all. Once you're able to do that, you'll have more ideas than you can use.

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid was meticulous crafted. The main character was both strikingly confident in who she was and what she knows about the world, while also self-doubting herself and never been sure of what was real-which made for great tension. What a gripping read! #yafantasy #booksky
