i love this shot of Angel City's goal against Gotham SO MUCH. IT'S POETRY #nwsl

a shot of angel city players celebrating after a goal, the ball still going into the net, as gotham players look on, despondent

I've started a re-read of The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez and I really really REALLY love this book. It's inventive and stunning and just as engrossing as the first time I read it. A truly staggering work of art that every fantasy reader should experience. #booksky 💙📚👀 📚🪐

The Spear Cuts Through Water open to page 92 with a metal bookmark of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa in between the pages

Depends on the item you're working on! If it's something like a sweater where you're working on different pieces, then you'd have to do some mental puzzling out to make it work. I wouldn't use a yarn like this for that. This shawl was made row by row, so the gradient worked up nicely.

Chantaal @chantaal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Thank you! It's one ball of yarn that has all the color gradient changes in it, it's super pretty.

I loved Legends and Lattes! I think this short story could easily have been novelette or novella length to allow it to breathe a bit. Things kinda felt like they happened just because the story had to end.

Digging into the Magic & Mystery short stories on Amazon (yes, sigh) because FANTASY! MYSTERIES!!! 💙📚👀 📚🪐 #booksky First up: Miss Gentle and the Case of the Very Flat Monk by Travis Baldree, 3⭐ An interesting kernel of a story idea here but the execution ultimately didn't work for me.
