this sucks. you want "restorative justice" as opposed to punishment, but what has he restored? what has he done? what does a youtuber losing his career for admitting to be a rapist have to do with carceral abolition when he has never and will never see prison time, or even actual consequences?

I’ve just been outside and where is the chill? It is October. It is spooky season. It should not be warm and mild.

What the fuck, Joyce. I don’t even read romance novels but this kind of thinking pisses me the fuck off. It further pushes that mentality that some books as “lesser” which is bullshit! All books count!
Joyce Carol Oates 
This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to different consumers.

I've been so out of the loop this year so...this is a really useful thread! Also, if anyone has recs for more...offbeat, unusual SFF published within the past year specifically, well, I'll take them :)

It’s the start of spooky season and this bitch has no housework to do today. I’ve got my fresh glow in the dark skeleton outfit on and I am going to drink all the tea, watch PLL and continue my indie bookshop business plan. 🥰

I’m three stamps away from £10 off at Waterstones. Has anyone read any good books lately that I should be aware of? 👀👀

Previous owners had soldered the copper pipes to the tap. No wonder I struggled on my own.

Brother in law has no free time before the weekend so it’s been left to me to fix. Thankfully there is a how to video on YouTube but why is it always down to me.

Lilly @iambookmad.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
So bc the tap is old as balls we need a new tap. Brother in law is hopefully going to replace it; just need to go and sort out the new tap 😾

I am going to try and stop the kitchen tap leaking with the help of a YouTube video and the belief of a mediocre cishet white man (honestly though plz keep things crossed because we really don’t need the expense of a new tap)

(tw grooming, child sex offences) really takes bravery to share this stuff. It can and does happen in comics, both big names and small. “if there’s no public conversation […] any further victims, if they exist, might never find out they weren’t alone”

The weather is very much “inbetween” for the autumn equinox. Not light but not dark. Not dry nor raining Neither warm nor cold. It feels like a big change is coming.

The last two nights I have been going to bed later than I’d like (after 9:30pm) but tonight I’m in clean bedding, teeth have been brushed, and I’m about to get snoodled under the duvet ready to go to snooze town.

I'm gathering good roasts for a thing....what are the best clean/not punching down ones you know? Or your kids know? Kids often know best on these matters. Every joker who replies with a picture of some roast lamb will be stopped. Perhaps not today. But one day. I mean insults and you know that.

Obviously most of us don't have a massive platform like a rock star to shine a light on people in Gaza. But we can help individuals suffering oppression there. Soad and her son really need some cash support now, can you chuck in a few pounds/euro/dollars etc? (I don't know where my bluesky ppl are)
