I’m a big fan of Sistah Samurai by @obeytheauthor.bsky.social. Fast-paced, razor prose, wildly creative, and nails the chanbara feel I crave in samurai fantasy. Check this one out, it’s good! #fiction #fantasy
The cover for the book: Sistah Samurai: a champloo novella, by Tatiana Obey. A woman in a pink and black kimono stands with her sword drawn, sleeves and afro tossed by the breeze, against a gray textured background with falling cherry blossoms

I never noticed until today how angry the US Cellular logo is

This is textbook, y'all. No one should be surprised.
A famous piece of North Korean propaganda, depicting Kim Il-Sung in a glowing halo on a field of red, with a soldier, student, and two citizens looking on with admiration.

It’s Beignet’s Gatcha Day, and he’s from New Orleans, so I made gumbo to celebrate. Four years since we made the Louisiana purrrrchase! #cooking

A photograph taken at night of a rural landscape in winter. The full moon has a halo of light behind a sheet of clouds, and there are many tree silhouettes sticking up from the dark line of mountains in the background. A light from a distant house is faintly visible.

If you're 25+ years old and grew up in Kentucky, your state was ranked 45 out of 50 in education level while you were in school, and U.S. civics was not a mandated course. Just in case you were wondering why there are grown adults living in KY who think they can vote against Mamdani the NYC election

Do you think when Max Shulman wrote the Dobie Gillis short stories in the 1940s, he had the slightest inkling that it would ultimately result in the creation of a specific "mystery team" archetype and one of the most globally-famous cartoon franchises ever created? #animation #scooby-do
An old book from the 1940s, with the author name at the top reading: "Max Shulman." The title is: "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." There is a cartoon depiction of a young man wearing a bow tie standing on the title.The five members of the Scooby-Do Mystery Team, as depicted in the 2010 TV show "Scooby-Do: Mystery Incorporated." From left to right - Velma Dinkly, Shaggy Rogers, Fred Jones, Scooby, and Daphne Blake. The team is posing behind Fred, who is at a computer.

I'm enjoying the new Adult Swim show "Women Wearing Shoulder Pads." I'm a sucker for stop-motion, but it's also compelling and surreal in the exact way I enjoy. #animation

This book, Uprooted by @naominovik.bsky.social, was recommended to me years ago, but I’m just now getting around to reading it. I wish I’d read it sooner. It’s great! #booksky #fantasy
The softcover book of Naomi Novik’s Uprooted. There is a woman with a glowing rose floating over her hands on the yellow cover

They’re anti-PBS because they think PBS programming is “woke” or something. Remember their leader wants to demolish PBS and NPR funding, so now they’re the convenient target

Because it is Mother’s Day, I’m afraid you are required to read my L5R novella from @aconytebooks.bsky.social about a Lion Clan Deathseeker who finds herself having to care for a Kistu child that sees ghosts. It’s in The Great Clans vol 2! Ask your library, or check it out on Audible! #booksky

Finally getting around to reading “The Girl With The Ghost Eyes” by M.H. Boroson. It’s been on my to-read pile for an embarrassingly long time now. #booksky #nowreading
The Girl with the Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson. A softcover rack book with a woman on the cover, wielding a sword and burning two pieces of paper with diagrams written on them. She is in an alley and surrounded by ghosts

Big show on the porch today. The audience is completely transfixed

I'm seeing a lot of cozy fantasy #ttrpgs lately, especially "run your own tavern" books for certain d20-centric systems. It feels good to know that the audience for slice-of-life fantasy is growing! I feel vindicated with each new book I see. Check mine out, if you please - it's called Tiny Taverns!
A softcover copy of the tabletop roleplaying game Tiny Taverns, face up on a wooden table, with a glass of Scotch and a small cask directly above it. The cover depicts numerous fantasy characters holding up mugs of beer in a toast. The book title reads: Tiny Taverns, a Slice-of-Life Fantasy Roleplaying Game

Wow these guys got ripped off - I would’ve delivered no script for only $500k!

How do you feel about homemade hot sauces? This one was made with sugar rush peach and Trepadeira peppers from the garden. Fermented and then aged for about three months. Blended with lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. It reminds me of a slightly fruity Tabasco sauce

I’m trying to decide if I should resume reading The Priory of the Orange Tree. So many folks suggested it, and there’s a lot of great prose in here. But honestly, it fails to hold my attention. I stopped at page 404. I kinda wish it just focused on two PoVs. Should I give it another chance? #fantasy

As I watch another original cozy slice-of-life RPG that takes place in a Tavern advertise its crowdfunding, I experience a nice vindication spike. I knew that idea has legs. Check mine out, by the way. It’s called Tiny Taverns. #ttrpg #ttrpgcreator

I wanted to see Jurassic Park when it came out in 1993, but my mom was concerned that it would be too violent and scary for me, as I was only 10 years old. …So she bought me the book instead… :D
An old paperback copy of Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, creased and worn with time, published in 1990. I’m holding the book up to the camera.
