Had a very productive writing date with a friend and I think I may need more of these

No viene Robin Hobb pero el universo siempre recompensa a sus fieles 🙏🙂‍↕️

Aliette de Bodard anuncia que acudirá al festival Celsius de este año. Una excelente noticia para todos sus fans españoles.

Watching a bunch of anglophone tourists (not sure where from) failing to deal with the idea that a half drawn store and someone getting all the chairs out means the shop isn't quite open yet (yes it opens at 10, yes it's 10:30)

Thuan is the best cinnamon roll dragon prince

Oh hey that's an old one but a good one

So I'm going to Celsius festival omg

Uh sorry no romance, no death of main characters, and action stuff preferred ("No big emotions please")

Any recs for TV shows appropriate for 11 year old where one of the protagonists is not human (robots, aliens, vampire, fae, etc)? Bonus points if the main character thinks humans are weird. (Yes, murderbot. That's 12 or over though)

The finished piece. Oil and acrylic on canvas.

Now maybe more relevant than before! I’m adding new species from my files as quickly as I have time; even more taxa than what I have personally seen will eventually be included, as folk from around the world have kindly offered to donate their photography.

Doctor Who as Peter Capaldi. Yeah, can do

I gotta say that my great pleasure in watching Doctor Who isn't so much the episodes themselves as watching the main actors own the scene (currently watching the first Capaldi episode, again)

Me looking up how to caulk and considering calling the sapphic DIY network to the rescue. (joint's coming off in the kitchen)

Me, singing Georges Brassens' Chanson pour l'Auvergnat as I spread laundry out to dry K1: can you stop this unseemly noise mommy Me: hmmmmfff

On that AI summer books feature chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/2025... Super detailed apology, post Mortem of everything that went wrong and steps for the future

Found @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social here!

@readingtheend.bsky.social declares Caitlin Starling's The Starving Saints "A meaty, troubling novel about the allure and price of desire… and lots of cannibalism." This, too, can be girl dinner: reactormag.com/book-review-...

❤️ "meeting our readerly expectations is just as much a skill as playing with them, perhaps even more of one...There aren’t many books which actually bring their readers into contact, however briefly, with Matter itself (but most of them are SFF). This is one of them"

Melancholy news that Brian Wilson has passed away at 82. When I was a kid, I loved the Beach Boys because my dad loved them. When I got older, I became too cool for them. Then I got old enough to realize the problem was just me, the 60s Beach Boys were amazing. Amazing. youtu.be/K9VnrsNa-NM?...
