Since I am actually writing again, I may actually post about writing again, which means this is a great time to remind y'all that my Wings Rising epic fantasy duology is available from Meerkat Press! Here's a Linktree to find your preferred vendor: linktr.ee/rebeccagomez...

Both my book covers in a promo graphic, Wings Unseen and Wings Unfurled. A small mosquito-like creature is also in the top L corner, and a hand holding a flame in the bottom R corner.

NECESSARY THREAD

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

Time to lounge in the hot tub with a bourbon? Yes, yes, I think so.

Saw some nice practice maneuvers yesterday!

Becca Gomez Farrell @becca.gomezfarrell.com · 1d

😄 they are very pretty in person, I can tell you that

Ooh, nice!! I'm intrigued it's in the amaranth family. Thanks!

Good thread

It’s true: the cities are lawless and scary, if you live here sell your property as fast as possible, particularly if you have a 2 family row house from the 1920s with those nice bay windows.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

I did emerge from my mother's womb with all my opinions fully formed and never, in any way, changing. Didn't you? Also, those opinions are always right.

That definitely makes sense as a book to film adaptation! But I fear that not enough info was really included about the greater issues at play. But maybe the filmmaker felt the audience would infer enough to enjoy the story he was telling.

Becca Gomez Farrell @becca.gomezfarrell.com · 2d

I am 100% sure you're correct.

I have lived in the Bay Area for 13 years now, and somehow, today is the first time I am taking the Oakland to San Francisco ferry. Let's go!

I am amazed this happened to anyone in real life.

One Battle After Another: Good performances in this film, but the strong focus on a few characters felt like a disservice to me, as I wanted to understand more about the movement resisting fascism throughout--What were the stakes? The plans? Just survival? Nice action scenes, though! #filmsky 🎥📽️

An excellent thread of game recs here!

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 3d

By the way, while we're on the subject of indie games, there's a lovely little game called Carimara that I streamed and wrote a little thread about when adding it to my curator page, it's super short but absolutely brilliant.

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 5d

Hey folks, I've just added Carimara: Beneath The Forlorn Limbs to my curator page, and if you missed my stream tonight, my goodness this was a delightful little game! It is what I can only describe as a whimsical folk horror detective game, check this one out.

Both my husband and I have cats on our laps and I would like a bourbon. A true tragedy.

I know I'm a sucker for foodie hype, but I am not a sucker for food-related hype, which I know because I would never wait in those long lines for a Trader Joe's tote bag. 😆
