He/they/whatever. Musician, writer, poet, photographer, naturist, gay, married, campervanner, atheist, BN members. Proudly woke. My work may be mediocre but at least I'm human. I enjoy nature, travel, books, films, good food and wine, preferably naked.

“Yes, rebellion,” I shot back, my voice sharp enough to cut through the crackling flames.

“You wear clothes because you’re told to. Not because you need to. What else are you covering up?”

You know what? Now seems a good day remind people that Gallus exists. A collective anthology by members of the @gsfwc.bsky.social community, put together for the Glasgow Worldcon. My story is about the end of the world, and witches looking for hope. #gallus #gsfwc40

I came across this picture and I thought it was pretty cool.
It has five textiles, can you find them?

And when I do remember to take a picture, I don't post it.

This is a courgette, feta and mint soup from a few days ago. I only remembered when I looked at my gallery for tonight's dinner.

Honestly, bskiers, we have good honecooked food every night. I just rarely think to take a photo till it's finished.

Then I think: that was amazing, I should tell the world. Never mind.

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 2d

In fairness to your readers, there's so much creative detail in your work, none of us will remember everything.

Also, I think war pteranadons should only be ridden by women.

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 2d

That's wonderful. You are a strong human.

Tonight's dinner was leftover veg (courgette, cauliflower and celery) thrown in a pan with good olive oil, garlic and chorizo.

A bowl of cooked vegetables. With the reddish colour and sheen that comes from chorizo.

Thanks for the shopping list. I think I've only seen four of them.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

This is a long and comprehensive exploration of a truly brilliant book. If you haven't read the book, I should warn you there are some spoilers, but you should read it anyway.

Coincidentally, I reread Weaveworld a couple of years ago, and it's aged much better than a lot of SFFH from that time.

Weaveworld’s Magic: How Clive Barker’s Novel Fights Fascism and Celebrates Queer Identity: A My Life in Horror

I’m honoured to work with such great writers. This essay from @exaggeratedelegy.bsky.social is immense and a must read.

Weaveworld's Magic: How Clive Barker's Novel Fights Fascism And Celebrates Queer Identity: A My Life In Horror - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website

Clive Barker's Weaveworld is more than a fantasy novel, it's a sacred text of queer awakening and a radical critique of fascism. and why its celebration of magic and desire forever alters its readers.

Isn't nature beautiful?

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 4d

Exciting.

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you!

I shall revisit that one. I thought I knew it but obviously missed the tentacles.

I remember telling a friend about it when he named his son Magnus. 🤭

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 5d

I can't remember a story with tentacles. Which one was that?

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 5d

Sorry to be Mr grumpy-drawers, but I think it's judgemental to dismiss any religion other than Christianity as "a cult."

And calling every god apart from Yahweh "the devil" is a bit patronising.

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 5d

There may be subconscious parental influence there.

Stewart Horn @thenakedpoet.bsky.social · 5d

I loved it too.

Oliver Arditi @paracyclops.bsky.social · 5d

I absolutely loved 'Under The Moon', a short, beautifully written SFFH story collection by E.M. Faulds. Small in size, enormous (sublunary) in scope, and frequently moving.

I have all of these books, and every one is brilliant.

Undertow has never disappointed me.
