Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Drag Race UK: thank fuck, finally, good riddance. An elimination that should have happened much sooner. 010

Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 21/09/2026And the writer scams keep coming… for the other writer whose name is very similar to mine. It’s almost amusing that whoever is sending them can’t be bothered (or is too stupid) to sort out that I’m not the same guy. 020

Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Yet another scam email for the other guy whose name is similar to mine. This time it’s from a supposed book marketing specialist. Here are my thoughts on the matter: 🖕🏻 040

Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I just took a brief spin through Instagram and almost had a seizure from all the flashy jumpy video suggested ad bullshit. I have no idea how people can use that app without needing sedation afterward. 020
Reposted by Marshall MooreJonny Nexus @jonnynexus.bsky.social · 22/08/2026In the oft-quoted question of "pantser" vs "plotter" could I propose a middle option? "Point-to-pointer". You have a rough idea of where you're going, but rather than a fully detailed plot you have a series of vague and moveable way points that lead toward a roughly outlined ending. 2359
Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 21/08/2026No specifics because that would be unseemly, but every now and then I get a rejection and am like, what the country-fried fuck? The essay in question will get published sooner or later because my work generally does, but I’m having an intensely battered and seasoned moment. 020

Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I would add that this is one of 3 author scams I’ve been targeted by in the last few weeks. Yes, you read that right: 3. And in the space of weeks. I’m in a pretty foul mood tonight because of how much these scams undermine what little trust and integrity were left in this enshittified ecosystem. 040
Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Literary scam alert. Someone is impersonating Johnny Temple, one of the publishers at Akashic Books. They contact you out of the blue claiming to have read a recent book and soliciting a manuscript. They then get back to you sometime later offering editorial services. A strange experience.

Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I’d call Gotcha Day a success. Indigo didn’t like being bundled into a cat carrier, and the trip home took a little longer than ideal, but we made it. After hiding under the bed for an hour and a half, the little dude decided to come out and say hi. He likes headbutts. I am for this. 1190
Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I have pretty severe IBS, so the American ass-blow epidemic is a deeply nasty “welcome to my world” moment. It shouldn’t be happening at all, but maybe it’ll also be a wake-up call to improve public restrooms there. When and if sanity is ever restored. 051
Marshall Moore @marshallsmoore.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Last night this fox was hanging out on the sidewalk near the station. He let me come quite close (I didn’t try to touch him). I asked how he was doing, but he didn’t say anything. I thought he might have been injured or sick but he might also have been relaxing and indifferent to humans. 130
