Went to the Monsters of the Deep exhibit at #Aberdeen Art Gallery. It's fantastic! Lots of fun and surprising displays.

A model of a crab like sea monster is mounted on a wall and is depicted holding a man in it's crab claw

A miniature display of two Roman soldiers fighting a giant multi-armed sea creature.

Two pages of a book with ink drawings of ancient sea monsters

A female figure made from fish parts and made to look like a mummified sea creature.

If you're gonna crib Joe Haldeman, give him credit.

Bad books on writing tell you to "WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW", a solemn and totally false adage that is the reason there exist so many mediocre novels about English professors contemplating adultery.

My daughter and I attended your talk. It was very enjoyable and informative!
I really appreciate that you didn't plug your book, Ancient Sea Reptiles, too much 😉
(For those interested it is available for pre-order at Blackwell's and that other site named after a South American rainforest).

Do you think there are headlines back on the Predator planet that are like “Dentist Speared By Earthling He Paid to Hunt” and there’s a bunch of Predators in ties around a watercooler going “Lol RIP.”

Any tips for a whirlwind day trip to @edfringe.bsky.social? Currently have 2x shows booked and planning to spend the rest of the time soaking up the vibes.

Flintlock but scary or something dunno not feeling it this year @flintlock.bsky.social · Aug 1

If you're going to be like this I'm not going to release "Waiting for Godot: The RPG" after all.

Its 2025. If your #ttrpg has "nothing hapoens" as a possible outcome of a roll or a choice, go back to the drawing board.

I keep threatening my players with a session where I just ramp up the threat and feeling of doom but nothing actually happens. They make their own chaos.

Heading down to sample #EdinburghFringe this Sat. Booked Brewhemia drag brunch and a small show at Just the Tonic at the Caves. 🤩 Excited and hoping it's not too crowded and the vibe is good.

“Fraud, waste and abuse.”

“Crap.”

“Things that don’t matter.”

This is what the Trump administration calls the life-saving aid the Republican Congress just cut.

But let’s call it what it is: cruelty.
