New profile pic for Spooky Month. Couple days late, but I was having internet problems for the last couple of days.

Picked up both of those on DVD for a quid after a recent internet outage motivated me to expand my physical media library via charity shops.

A silly little thing that's been in my head since I rewatched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Be Excellent to Each Other!

an illustration of the characters Bill and Ted from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure holding pride flags - one trans, one progress pride flag - and doing their signature hand on heart gesture. Above and below them text reads: "BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER MEANS EVERYONE." the background is dark blue, with a smattering of white stars. Both boys are wearing small pride pins - Bill is wearing a trans pin and a queerplatonic pin, and Ted is wearing a bisexual pin and a queerplatonic pin.

Just got back from Romance in the North, my first author signing event in which I had my own stall. Sold four copies of my poetry collection, "Not Safe for Work", and gave away a copy of The Lady's Favour in a mystery prize draw.

#WeeknightWriters Erm...stressed, depressed, and kind of a mess because of work bullshit. While also both nervous and excited about Romance in the North.

#WeeknightWriters Hi, I'm Andy. Currently procrastinating a series of pirate stories. Managed to do some work on a TTRPG conversion, and wrote a ton of words on post-its (prizes for a mystery draw).

Yuri Knorozov scowling and holding his beloved Siamese cat/coauthor, Asya.

Vincent Price protectively snuggling several cats, looking like he’s ready to throw down

Freddie Mercury solemnly holding a big orange cat. His expression is more reserved than the other two, but he still looks like he’d square up at a moment’s notice

It’s not a ‘ridiculous position’ to say I won’t support anyone using generative AI. I don’t care if it’s ’only a little’. It taints them and their product. To use a classic: here, they’ve made a sandwich with only a little bit of shit smeared inside. Still want to eat it?
