dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Finally added color to this guy. I think his atlers need some yellow maybe. He’s not at all what I intended originally. Also, if I am going to use him on a shirt, for example, do you think I should ink the outlines or no? 000 0

dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It’s “mind boggling”? Um, I think we all know why. 000 0
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 02/10/2026#inktoberday2 #Relic made me think of scars & I just started drawing. Ended up with this. It’s a character from my teen dreams - Valunar (you just become a star, Valunar). Valunar overlaps with Valis, who was a Starman, bringing us to another “relic”. I think he’s alright. #inktober #inktober2026 010 1
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There is a character named #Apple in one of the books I have been working on since the dawn of time. This isn’t really how I picture him but I don’t work well without a reference & it’s hard to get a good reference for an imaginary person. #inktober #inktober2026 #inktoberday1 020 2

dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I have often said people shouldn’t say “I am going to play Devil’s Advocate (outside proper use in preparation for a legal case) but “I enjoy being an asshole”. 001 1
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I understand why people say “shero” instead of “heroine”, especially in settings where there’s no visual for context. But it makes my teeth itch. 010 1
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I’m sorry but what dictionary is NYT using for this puzzle? 010 1
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 26/09/2026LoTR was my favorite as a kid. 💕💕💕 I was soooo consumed by the series. I don’t remember how to read elvish now but I learned to read it as a teen. 000 0
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 26/09/2026* full disclosure: I know Tempest irl and we got to beta read this book but it won the Nebula so other people like it too. 210 2
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Favorites are hard to choose! I love The Night Circus too. There are a lot of middle grade books I have a soft spot for as well. Ambassador- William Alexander Ruby Finley vs the Interstellar Invasion- K Tempest Invasion * The Screaming Staircase- Jonathan Stroud 120 2
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir blew my mind. I recommend audiobooks for these as well, read by Moira Quirk. It’s horror and romance and science fiction and the second book in the series reads feels like a 106 degree fever. I would love to take a walk in Muir’s brain. 130 3
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 26/09/2026“East of Eden” by Steinbeck was a book I never wanted to end. I am afraid to reread it in case it doesn’t swallow me a second time. I lived inside Emma Newman’s Split Books & Mars Fall series. I recommend the audiobooks, read by the author. I am astounded that these were written by the same author 110 1
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I also love “Geek Love” by Katherine Dunn. It’s extremely disturbing on the first read - sibling rivalry in a blender kind of disturbing. But it’s a different book every time I read it. 110 1
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I can’t say enough about “The Annual Migration of Clouds” by Premee Mohamed. I wish I had the discipline not to read the sequel when it came out because as a stand alone, it’s a unique narrative. I want schools to teach it in the place of “Catcher in the Rye”. 120 2
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 25/09/2026*their names are known for the current horror. In my time, we had a wall in a central bathroom that listed offenders. I am glad the protections that led to that usually being our only recourse are gone. Please keep fighting. 0121 12
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 25/09/2026What was done? The offending frat house was shut down. That’s it. Although apparently there has been little progress in 40+ years, at least their names are known. 1151 15
dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In the 80s, something similar happened at my college. There would have been no consequences but the woman was left for dead at a neighboring fraternity where the young men behaved like humans and called 911. Our culture makes monsters out of wealthy powerful men, then elects them to public office. 1291 29

dianne mcneill @dbmcneill.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Good morning! I have accomplished close to nothing for days, or at least it feels that way. Might be time to write down all the mom work again so I can forgive myself for the lack of progress on my projects. It’s tough as an older mom because I know I have fewer years ahead of me than behind me. 010 1
