WE CALL THEM WITCHES by @inkyrosey.bsky.social is out today! It’s queer dystopian fiction that combines British slice-of-life-style survival and gruesome eldritch horror. Perfect for fans of stuff like The Last Of Us & A Quiet Place.

Sound fun? Buy it here proud-geek.co.uk/product-page...

#booksky
Book cover for We Call Them Witches by India-Rose Bower Blurb: We Call Them Witches is a fresh take on dystopian horror, brimming with eldritch creatures, love and desire, and examining how far we'll go to save our family from what hunts them. Sara and her family must keep moving. Every few months, they’re discovered, and they have to pack up and get out quick. For the twins, it’s all they’ve ever known, for Danny, Noah and Ma, it’s a reminder of all they’ve lost. For Sara, it’s just another day. In yet another abandoned house, one they surround with Pagan wards - the only thing that protects them - Sara and her family think they might be safe, for a while at least.

This reminds of a quote I saw online, that the reason ADHD appeared to disappear in adulthood is that men outsourced their executive function issues to their secretaries and wives, and ouch
(and ADHD women were either undiagnosed or burnt out by trying to compensate without support)

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?"

Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

Bit late to the party, but here are some of my favourite books read in 2025 - all of which are available at proud-geek.co.uk

(There’s a list of book titles and authors in the alt text)

Have you read any of these?

#queerbooks #booksky
A stack of ten queer books and queer graphic novels I read last year ▪️ Traumaland by Josh Silver – surprisingly dark and twisty YA thriller, like an episode of Black Mirror. ▪️ The Boy I Love by William Hussey – YA historical fiction about grief, love and loss during the First World War. ▪️ Of Monsters And Mainframes by Barbara Truelove – science fiction meets classic pulp horror with gay spaceships. ▪️ Voice Like a Hyacinth by Mallory Pearson – slow start, but a brilliant book about fine art students, ritual sacrifice and lesbians. ▪️ I Leave It Up To You by Jinwoo Chong - slow-paced, yet chaotic slice-of-life story about connection, queerness and family. ▪️ Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree – cosy fantasy with higher stakes and more adventure. ▪️ Deep House by Jeremy Atherton Lin – an emotional and informative mix of memoir and queer history surrounding gay marriage. ▪️ Human Rites by Juno Dawson – withes, prophesy and a perfect conclusion to the HMRC series. ▪️ The Unsinkable Ship Of Fools by Jonas Goonface – pure, unadulterated filth about a group of queer anarchists banging on an unstoppable train (the best smut you’ll ever read). ▪️ Bone Broth by Alex Taylor – colourful but eerie queer coming of age thriller about a transmasculine guy working in a ramen shop.

A reader left a very apt comment in this article. "When the hunter tells the story, the lion is never the hero". Love this! Great read as well.

Putin has been famously reticient about targeting Zelensky or breaking international law till now of course.

What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?

Speaking of sex positive fun, if you’re not reading I Roved Out by Alexis you’re missing out on some amazingly fun, touching, very sexy storytelling. I cried at one point. So good.

Anyway, evergreen
Tumblr post by superorganism: You have to be annoying and do everything as passionately as possible because we live in a world where everyone operates through sixteen layers of post irony and to love with recklessness is literally counterculture.

Been thinking a lot about Tetsuo Hara's words on AI lately, and this fits right alongside it
A quote image of mangaka Tetsuo Hara saying: "What AI cannot do is 'be prepared to die'. You have to suffer, suffer, suffer, and think it through. Then when you think, 'this is really dying', there comes a point where you say, 'This is what I wanted. That is what it means to have a soul'. I want to please all the readers with a picture that has that soul in it. For that reason, I put my life in the line, abandoning my own greed and killing myself. No matter how painful it is, I will do it. That's all I can do."

A full-body pinup illustration of an elf girl. She's on a burnt orange background, surrounded in golden filigree that has transformed her into a candelabra. Balanced on her head are three melted candles. Her eyes are closed, a leg daintily lifted as she demurely lowers her gaze. A half-body pinup illustration of an elf girl. She's on a burnt orange background, a candelabra crown on her head as she holds up a candle and balances three on her crown. Wax has melted over her shoulder and breast.

God I hate how anti-intellectual out times are. I’d rather be sitting here reading interesting books, or learning about astronomy stuff, or making a movie about weird shit - but I gotta spend energy constantly explaining my existence to a world that empathizes more with Nazis then marginalized ppl.

I am not going to relitigate the Christmasness of Die Hard.

Anyone who thinks it's not a Christmas movie has either not seen it or is just being contrary.
