Photo of my table at NYCC 2025. It has a lilac tablecloth with "AK Faulkner, Ravensword Press" in white on it.

On the table are many gay books, a shelf of more gay books, and a big neon sign which reads "GAY BOOKS"

I need Hollywood to look at Ryan Coogler and Jordan Peele's success in horror and give opportunities to Black women directors to do the same.

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

I want to shove some indie fantasy up these redditors’ noses

Duchess of Doom @kilagreene.bsky.social · 1d

People on r/fantasy keep asking “Why is modern fantasy all so UNORIGINAL and BORING,” and I immediately assume they must not be reading, say, N.K. Jemisin or Vajra Chandrasekera or Simon Jimenez or Premee Mohamed or anything published by Neon Hemlock, and frankly that sounds like a them problem.

Look I know it'll shock you to know this, but we are almost out of archeologists AGAIN.

Do you know any archeologists? Are they willing to be matched with a LEGO team?

Please send 'em our way we need all hands on deck (STILL!)

We have had 585 requests for archeologists 🫠

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Which is weird, because first of all it's basically just a single syllable and second that is an a and not a u.

Time for a good ol' days post.

I remember when you could purchase an oven cook pizza and put it straight in the oven instead of also buying half a dozen toppings to fool yourself that you just bought anything other than an expensive pizza base. 👇🤑😮‍💨

I had to say 'The Exxon Valdez oil spill' in class today and 100% identified myself as an Alaskan.

(But I can also get pretty close with Willamette; we spent enough time in Oregon...which I can also say correctly.)

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men

Tiffany was on the whole quite a truthful person, but it seemed to her that there were times when things didn’t divide easily into ‘true’ and ‘false’, but instead could be ‘things that people needed to know at the moment’ and ‘things that they didn’t need to know at the moment’.

Same (but don't forget clumsy!). Admittedly, I don't have an official diagnosis, but just the explanation for everything I was going through was life-changing when a therapist finally suggested it.
