photography What more do U need? 😊
This is happening in half an hour!
The bananas we've been buying lately have seemed unnaturally sweet, like someone injected corn syrup into them. Is this happening to anyone else?
🫂
I remember dancing to this at Starck Club. Such a blast from the past. Thanks for the memories.
These were the days of my youth.
Pan's Labyrinth is favorite of mine too. I started with Devil's Backbone and Cronos and I was just taken by his powerful visuals. And the originality of his storytelling. Kristie and I both love The Shape of Water. Justice for the Creature at last!
Why yes, I am here for the Weird, the Wild, and the Wonderful. Always and forever, "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations".
I was so fortunate to hear about him before he started making English language films. Those early works are still astounding.
Today has been exhausting. Saturday please send all good vibes in our direction. 🤞
This is it folks!!! Your chance to see Chaski in a trio performance at an exquisite listening room. It’s a small space (that’s part of its charm) so get your tickets now.
Your chance to ask a question of one of the key figures in Doctor Who’s extended media…
"The words “Black Lives Matter” began to appear in large block letters on roadways in major cities...As @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social has pointed out, the mayor of Washington, DC, had a BLM mural painted on streets near the White House “atop which protestors continued to be brutalized.” 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 - Chapter 6
Ooooooo he's actually adapted the book. I was just talking about this yesterday, about how a faithful rendition of the book to film would be amazing. Thank you Guillermo. You never disappoint.
Go ahead and threaten us with a good time.
GBBO starts Friday for us! Something good is so welcome.
Whom amongst us has not?
AI is automated machine learning, at best:
Writing this hoping I’m wrong: No “bombshell” report will ever be enough. No “smoking gun” will ever point the way to justice. Most followers will never “wake up.” Stop chasing a Golden Fleece. Work together to build a community to withstand authoritarianism. Fight violence is compassion. #resist
I'm gonna be masking the entire dang time at #RCCC and would appreciate you doing the same!
I just backed La Hermana on @kickstarter.com So psyched - can’t wait for this one!!
A #DoctorWho make on #SewingBee!
A pause while they draw up more specific guidelines is not a win. This needs serious pushback to reverse all attempts to censor 2SLGBTQIA+ material.
Oh wow. "The African Painted Dog" by @catrionaward.bsky.social in The End of the World As We Know It was so amazing. I dare not say what its even about. I don't want to give it away. You have to read this one and experience it. WOW.
One of the best.
I GET TO WORK A PAT BENATAR BOOK SIGNING THIS WEEKEND??? I’m going to meet Pat Benatar???? YOOOOOOOOO
Holy freaking moley! That. Is. Awesome.
Oh ghood ghod no. I thought he was one of the good ones.
Tom Baker always makes me smile.
What people CALL "artificial intelligence" is as authentic as those janky wheelie machines that caught fire that people tried to call "hover boards" We know what real A.i. & hover boards will look like It hasn't happened yet
BBC Look North: We rounded up a load of NIMBYs to complain how Yorkshire no longer looks like a David Hockney painting. World class journalism there 🤣🤣🤣 Are other regions like this?
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a really good game. My dad, who loved the original Final Fantasy Tactics a lot, also enjoyed FFTA a bunch. I think he got well over 200 hours on FFTA one time. It would be great to see that game get remastered too. Would love to see a sequel to the original.
Not regretting my decision to wear shorts at all.
@gav.blue thank you for the repost, my friend!
Thank you.💜 I'm looking at the things I need to do today and trying to figure out what can be put off until tomorrow.
Don't fuck with peaceful people. Don't mistake drinking water, minding my business, and aspiring to live a drama-free life for weakness.
Join us as we venture once more to the Netherlands as we go to our favourite fairytale theme park, Efteling but this time with added Rose! #netherlands #efteling #symbolica #dreamflight #dansemacabre #raveleijn
So glad I started rewatching Timeless on Tubi. Such a great show.
we find our soul in the unexpected in the way our anger yearns for voice — and in our hearing, celebration the way pleasure resides amidst coldness, scattering dopamine while longing for blankets how tender the truths that heal in our witness #poetry
I think I may die from lack of smooches A very sad case, please send flowers
"The stakes in our larger struggle against this death-making system...can be less visible to us because systemic violence is more widely distributed and largely normalized. Effective organizers emphasize the connections between struggles, instead of making totalizing comparisons." 🫂 - Chapter 5
Arts Council England has agreed to establish a formal task force dedicated to investigating discrimination against women in arts and culture. -Via @TheStage www.thestage.co.uk/news/ace-for...
True.
I need an amazing poetry prompt for my MFA workshop today if anyone has something fun in mind. We love forms! Typically I would have some but the house fire has fried my brain.
My body has abandoned me today. Between the build up of pain meds in my system and generalized chronic fatigue, I can barely move.
I'm glad it's at least moving. I'm so sorry for everything you're going through with this.
Gender critical = transphobia. His crime was hate speech and inciting violence.
Heeeeyyyyy. I have a new book out. I’m doing an absolutely awful job telling anyone about it! The 50 #collage works in DEEP WHOOSH incorporate closed-caption sound effects. Because as a HoH poet/artist I’m fascinated by them both verbally & visually. + essay + 2 poems #VisualPoetry #ArtistBook
Now do JKR and Hilary Cass.
❣️
AI stethoscope can misdiagnose heart issues. There, I fixed it.
I do not believe adults "become" bigots. The bigotry was already inside. It just took the right set of circumstances for it to become apparent.
21 days to go! that’s only how many years you have to wait to drink way too many shots at your sparkle-themed birthday party and get sent to bed at 11:50 pm while 60 other people had fun all night in your house
I haven't been keeping up sharing these, but I recently read Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower and Ulysses Grant Dietz's Desmond, among other things. I'm now reading We Used to Live Here and I'm worried that I may have figured out the twist before the end of the first chapter. #BookSky 🏳️🌈📚 🌈📚
UK Doctor Who friends, get in on the action. Be a contestant on my Doctor Who Game Show 11/15 at 8pm UK. There's a cash prize! To apply, DM me with 3 interesting things about yourself. #DoctorWho www.michaelbroussardarts.com/p/dr-who-gam...
Gravity Falls is awesome.
one of my best pals, whom I have known longer than I have been married (thirteen years next month), when we met she'd already been happily transitioned for years, is a proud lesbian, just your absolutely typical tran just told me she still has the "but am I really trans" brainworm from time to time
Hope you are too, my friend!
Kristie and I are both chocolate addicts and we try to be measured about it. But sometimes, as you say, the road gets bumpy, and the intake increases. There's no shame in that. 😁
I love this illustration! Reminds me of a lot of comic stuff from the early 90s, particularly some of Jamie Hewlett's pre-Tank Girl work.

Witch You Would Day! It's finally here! Witch You Would is out today! Proliferation of exclamation points!!! Thank you so much to everyone who boosted, pre-ordered, or is running out to a store today to grab a copy off a shelf; your support means the world to me. Double thanks if you tag me about…
Talking of flags. I do indeed own a Jolly Roger flag to go with my Pirate costume.
AND THE RAIN JUST STARTED! MY RAIN DETECTION SUPERPOWER REIGNS SUPREME!!!
I'm trying to work out the concept of "too much chocolate." Those words in that arrangement seem totally incongruous.
🤞
After one of my DragonCon panels, a young guy in the audience came up and thanked me for sharing some of the personal experiences that inspire my writing. He said, very respectfully, "I just wanted to honor you as a gay elder." First time I've been called a gay elder, but I'll take it. (continued)
Glinner arrested for inciting violence and encouraging hate crimes. Good.
Please. That's all I'm saying. Please.
Good on Kieran Andrieu from Novara joining the flotilla to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. Hopefully this will raise more UK awareness of what these very brave people are doing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTW...
If he does pass, I’m gonna post about it for five or six hours, inappropriately gleefully, then post nudes before bed. Do yeah, fair warning.
thrilled to be a part of the inaugural ish!!! honored to be among such esteemed writers, poets & visual artists!!!
🫂
Maaaaaan.... I don't know yall Today seems like it's going to be historic Historically good or bad? I can't call it However, I am staying the fuck home till I figure it out Enjoy my wake n bake with a cup of coffee Good luck out there
your jokes about JKR refusing to bail glinner out are very funny but we do not have cash bail in the UK
"It hurts to go through walls, it makes you ill but is necessary. The world is one... The clear sky has leaned against the wall. It’s like a prayer to the emptiness. And the emptiness turns its face to us and whispers, “I am not empty, I am open.” Tomas Tranströmer - For the Living and the Dead

Repeatedly, Amer’s college expects him to do work for free. Worse, he teaches online classes which will be used in perpetuity with no further revenue to him for his work. Inclusion of a wheelchair user as a student in his class is lovely to see.
Art is liberating! And the ones in charge know the power of artists and their craft...💕💕
Here’s a link to the ish! Congrats Team @thomasonianmag.bsky.social on your inaugural! #nature #science #writing #poetry #photography www.thomasonian.com/read
I'm going to be reading from Lessons in Magic and Disaster later today in Decatur, GA. <3
Nothing like having AI slopper Weingarten show up in my WORK inbox promoting her new book and whatever other AI garbage is paying her right now. Blocked that address tout suite.
A year ago today.
is the plural bigfeet or bigfoots
Hopefully the next thing they throw is Trump.
Ok... so we're at the "throwing bags out the windows" phase of the administration
Rufo, who is the 4-star culture war general in charge of transphobia for the past 4 years, previously worked on a thinktank that pushed Intelligent Design - aka, “My Religious Dogma Must Be Taught In Science Class”. Transphobia is yet another religious wedge attempt
Goals
I love Dragon Con so much. I'd forgotten just how great it is. Honestly, it's a weird miracle for something so massive to be this excellent and fan-focused, and it's all down to the army of cool people keeping it running behind the scenes.
