Six Ships. I'm very much in the Chris Foss school of thought when it comes to colour, rather than SW or ST.

#Spaceships #SciFi #Illustration
Digital illustration on a white background. Six brightly coloured spaceships. Adorned with stripes and patterns. More like race cars than spaceships.

Just seen a screenshot of someone testing some new AI bullshit by getting it to generate a picture of 9/11. The post is nitpicking the details, which OK. But why in the name of all thats fucking holy would that be the thing you decided to generate? What kind of fucking deviant wank stain does that?

I, Rhiannon Grist, am not your boss. I am incapable of making you fill out your timesheet, answer your emails, or preorder my cottagegore horror HOME SICK coming out with @solarisbooks.bsky.social in 2026.

So only do it if you want to. Preorder, I mean.

You should probably do your timesheets.

OOOOHH! Look at what has just arrived in the office - ARCs of First Mage on the Moon, the new novel by @cameronjohnston.bsky.social. Publishes on April 16th next year.

Cover designed by @onecuriouschip.bsky.social.
A photo of the ARC for First Mage on the Moon by Cameron Johnston. The cover is basically typographic but designed to look like paper notes on a blueprint. The promotional text reads "A secret mission. A breathless countdown. A fantasy like no other."

My favorite childhood toys were assorted homunculi I crafted from Kleenex and rubber bands if you were wondering if I’ve always been this creepy.

My daughter misheard this Christmas classic one year and, well.
The phrase ‘underneath the mistletoe last night’, over a mummy (of the ancient Egyptian variety) kissing Santa Claus surrounded by Xmas lights. Underneath is written ‘seasons greetings’

Rather taken with this. It's by Shaun Tan, an Australian artist, from a book called The Rabbits. (All my favourite artists seem to be childrens' book illustrators).
Two children cower by a wall. On the other side a red rabbit the size of a house may or may not be about to notice them, his eye drawn by a red sock they've unwisely left on a clothesline.

Just listening to a podcast interviewing Cory Doctorow about enshitification and stuff like Amazon being evil, which had 4 minutes of ads before it started and then an ad for Amazon Prime the second the show was over. Bravo, well done.

Annette is just like me fr.
Comic Part 1/4 - a group of witches is huddled around a teacher showing them how to collect mandrake. The teacher pulls one out, explaining that mandrakes scream and cry when you pull them for their comfortable soil bed, causing a student called Annette to react by saying "it's just like me for real." The teacher then tells Annette to stop relating to potion ingredients. Comic Part 2/4 - a group of witches is huddled around a teacher showing them how to collect mandrake.

Goodnight from Morton Parish Council, where the vote to ban making promotional images of the village’s infamous Wyrm has ended in rancour and harsh curses. Goodnight from Tabitha Mantel, sure she can hear Faery clocks chiming the ninth of the hour. Goodnight from Hookland.

I was in Glasgow for 20 hours and the one thing I did that wasn't work-related was visiting the extraordinary Sharmanka Kinetic Theater, thanks to a tip from @regretteruane.bsky.social. What an amazing place! So glad I got to experience that!
A steel bird with a bell in its mouth. One of the kinetic sculptures at Sharmanka kinetic Theater. Me, amazed by the sculptures at Sharmanka. Another amazing Sharmanka kinetic sculpture. Wrought Iron and wheels. Me and the Sharmanka sculptures.

We're revisiting our back catalogue and the ONLY original novel we've published—M. Rickert's "The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie." This exquisite mystery is an amalgam of Frankenstein, and A Confederacy of Dunces. We want you to read it. The eBook is on sale for just $2.

undertowpublications.com/ebooks
PRAISE "...an affecting and tragic portrayal of a man struggling and failing to communicate and connect with those around him. Highly recommended..." - Starred Review, Booklist “Masterful ... darkly magical ... a stunning ending.” — Gary K. Wolfe, Locus “The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie grabbed me from the first page. Quark is an indelible main character who I will continue to think about and love.” — Dan Chaon, author of Ill Will “The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie by M. Rickert is a powerful evocation of an imaginary place, both magical and mundane; the tribulations of a good hearted hapless giant; and a compelling mystery. Dark and humorous and deep.” —   Jeffrey Ford, Author of Big Dark Hole “Fans of M. Rickert's singular blend of the mundane and the monstrous will be drawn deep into the briny, haunted world of Bellfairie.” —   Sofia Samatar, Author of A Stranger in Olondria, and Tender “Awash in sea rain, ghosts and the stories they trail, the sound of submerged bells from offshore (or their echo, or their memory), Bellfairie and its denizens are M. Rickert creations through and through—meaning magical, mournful, mysterious, profoundly human.” —   Glen Hirshberg, Author of The Motherless Children Trilogy “The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie is a dark, dream-like, psychologically astute novel about the outsider as threat and victim, about the power of crowds, and the betrayal of innocence, replete with uncanny secrets, signs, and symbols that echo and reverberate, intimations of an unseen, sublunary world.” —   Douglas Glover, Author of Elle, and Savage Love
