Some kid in my neighborhood is the second coming of Basquiat.
#art
Sidewalk chalk drawing of a dog. It could be cave art. It's actually adorable and somehow impressively done. An actual sculpture of Basquiat's dog that looks really similar to the sidewalk chalk drawing.

As a non–fantasy smut reader, I say this with love, but stop being weird and just let women exist and read their fairy porn in peace. #booksky 📚💙

I may be a world devouring ancient alien intelligence but I’m also just a baby girl. #alienearth
Oculus from alien earth which is basically an eyeball on octopus tentacles but someone has slapped a heart filter over it and has given it a pink ribbon.

I first read this in 2006, when my brain was still under construction. Now I’m back as an adult with a fully baked frontal cortex & my main takeaways are: Henry Miller was absolutely manic, but my god could the man write.
📚💙#booksky
Henry Miller's book The Tropic of Cancer. The cover shows a nude woman laying on her back.

Audible (Amazon) blocking their audiobooks from libraries & indie shops by calling it "exclusive" is hostile AF. You’re denying access to kids, the blind, & anyone with dyslexia to hoard more money.

It's actually dystopian & I'd rather die than give them one single doll hair. #booksky 📚💙

The Steve Files drops now. Huge thanks to everyone who helped solve the most important mystery of our time. After 5 years, Steve can finally rest.

Share if #Steve still lives rent-free in your heart. #wotskies #thewheeloftime

The #WhoIsSteve mystery of the The Wheel of Time fandom is close to being laid to rest. This is real. This is not a test.

I’m hoping to have the final pieces ready this weekend before I head out on vacation 🤞🏼 stay tuned. #wotskies
Actor Phil Snowden who in summer of 2020 was leaked to be playing the role of "Steve" in season 1 of The Wheel of Time.

This is going to be long. My tolerance for this type of thing is at an all time low. There's a YouTuber called The Prophet of the Dragon who put out a 2 hour Livestream while using Kritter's content the majority of the time & decided to make some jokes about Kate Fleetwood's appearance. #wotskies
Here he brings up a comment on screen joking that Kate Fleetwood has AIDS. Here he brings up a comment joking that Kate Fleetwood is underweight and should eat a sandwich. This is his face. He's a white middle aged man with a reseeding hairline and glasses.

Something about the middle of summer makes me reach for the most brilliant, somber, terrifying books. I Who Have Never Known Men hit all three. Women write the best horror bc they’ve lived it. #booksky 📚💙
The cover of a book by Jacqueline Harpman titled I Who Have Never Known Men. The cover shows the portrait of a woman and a golden circle obscuring part of her face.

I know the end of #TheWheelofTime left a bit of a hole. If you're feeling that too & want a place to hang out, my Discord server’s open. Lately we’ve been deep into Dungeon Crawler Carl, Empire of Silence & The Devils... always a good story going around.

Invite link’s in my bio🍦

Two #SaveWOT campaign billboards went up in São Paulo, Brazil today and will stay up for a month!

Keep an eye out tomorrow for digital billboards in Los Angeles, New York and London.

#TheWheelOfTime

A bus stop billboard at night features an image from The Wheel of Time showing Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski) carrying an unconscious Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) through the desert coming out of Rhuidean. Above them is the URL “savewot.com,” and the Portuguese text below reads “SALVE A RODA DO TEMPO” (“Save The Wheel of Time”)

Round of applause to whoever wrote this description for Robert Strange's Emmy submission. It's such a great description of what went on in that scene, plus bonus Sindhol name drop!
Robert Strange as Eelfinn. The Wheel of Time: He Who Comes With The Dawn. In the shadow-woven dimension of Sindhol, the eldritch Eelfinn offers Mat Cauthon cryptic answers and perilous gifts, and blurs the line between prophecy and manipulation

It’s finally out! My Wheel of Time season 3 breakdown with production designer Ondrej Nekvasil, filmed before the cancelation, then trapped in YouTube copyright jail (cheers, Amazon 😭) I hope it's not too late to enjoy it. #wotskies #thewheeloftime #savewot

Questions:

Will the TV Series fandom be as resilient now as when the book fandom faced the tragic death of Robert Jordan?

How are plans to somehow resurrect the show coming along?
