Why is it that Irene Adler has never been done justice one singular time across Sherlock adaptations? She's either useless or a villain, and a love interest every time. This is my Roman Empire. #justiceforireneadler

N.K. Jemisin is the first author to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 3 consecutive yrs for her Broken Earth series & first to win for all 3 novels in a trilogy. Recipient MacArthur Genius Grant, 2020. She was born #OTD in 1972. Happy Birthday @nkjemisin.bsky.social 🎈 #SciFi #Fantasy #BookSky
A montage portrait of science fiction author N.K. Jemisin. On the left, she appears in a close-up photo with long, dark braided hair, wearing earrings, a delicate necklace with a pendant, a deep maroon sweater, and a shimmering green scarf draped around her neck. She has a calm, confident expression and gazes directly at the camera against a softly blurred dark background. To the right are three stacked book covers of her works. Top: The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth trilogy), with a dark, textured design and metallic title. Middle: The Obelisk Gate, featuring an intricate, glowing red-and-purple circular mandala-like emblem. Bottom: The Stone Sky, showing a dramatic stormy sky with a massive floating obelisk.

The overall composition highlights the author alongside prominent covers from her award-winning Broken Earth series.

happy #smallpoemsunday! 💜 feel free to post small poems you wrote or ones you love by other poets :) in the spirit of back-to-school, here’s one I wrote when I was teaching. my first school’s parking lot abutted the Salem Street Cemetery~
I Was Going To Burn Some Sage For The People Of This World But I Read An Article On The Internet Saying It Was A Bad Idea


Also I didn't have any sage
To burn
Doing nothing is always easier
Ask the cop in the graveyard
Or the teacher who
Every day
Parks her car in front of legions
Of Massachusetts dead
And goes to work teaching
Students about the history
Of witches thieves
And revolutionaries
