I have learned that Nicola Griffith is on Bluesky AND has a patreon. (Also, read Spear. It's brilliant.)

Okay, story time. I was asked for the tale of my laser eye injury, so here you go. I'm fine. Customers were fine. No children were harmed. The only victims were me and Bob's career. www.funraniumlabs.com/2024/07/how-...

Skip merrily through the street like Tom Bombadil, gently tossing a hard boiled egg into any open cybertruck windows you come across

The eggs are also extremely easy to peel, if that sweetens the pot. Impress dates pulling out a hard boiled egg from a pocket, distending your jaw like a snake, and then consuming it while making direct eye contact. Then reach into your pocket to offer them an egg.

I've never seen Twin Peaks before, but so far the first episode is full of gorgeous lesbians and I am accepting no criticisms at this time.

If I shake @buehlmeister.bsky.social will more books fall out like shaking fruit from a tree? I loved The Daughters' War. Devastating and beautiful and GALVA. One of those books that I was crushed when I realized how close to the end I was.

A common mistake many new writers make is crafting a character and then, without story justification or world building to support it, making them heterosexual. This leaves readers confused & takes them out of the story.

"British Soldiers (interrupted during drag show rehearsals by a German raid) manning a BL 6-inch Mk VII naval gun at Shornernead Fort, England in 1940"

"we interrupted our drag show to shoot at Nazis is a truly powerful energy I want to bring back"

Neurodivergent is a great term, it sounds like a class of psychic technopriests or some shit in a sci-fi TTRPG. Like, ahh, yes, the Brainmancers, famed for their inability to shut the fuck up about 15th century Florentine municipal politics.

I have developed a cocktail that SHOULD be heinous but it's ACTUALLY great: 2-3tbsp homemade vanilla extract (with a base of whisky, whiskey, or bourbon, preferably), ice (maybe half a pint glass), then top with Fresca grapefruit seltzer. Summer alchemy OCCURS and then it's magically delicious!?

Star Trek Minus Context @nocontexttrek1.bsky.social · 28/12/2023

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. It's an annual tradition, so join in the fun and start 2024 off on the right hoof.

Voyager scene. It's a romantic evening setting on the street of a charming little town. Harry Kim, dressed in an overcoat, leans in with a full heart and eyes closed, and kisses a large black and white colored Holstein cow right on the mouth. Two closed captions are simultaneously present: On Harry's side of the screen the caption reads, "(gasps)" and on the cow side of the screen the caption reads, "(moos)".

Just a reminder, as the discussion on AI continues, that the Luddites were primarily a labour movement. Their main concern with the introduction of new technology was exploitation of the workers. Their position was framed as a fear of change so it could be more easily belittled and dismissed.
