I don’t think an anime opening has ever made me laugh so hard.

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

“Yaiba of all things got a remake” first of all the Yaiba remake whips ass and is fun.

Excited to announce that this is coming out in Fall 2026! I don't think I can say exactly when yet, but it's exciting to know that I AM THE NIGHT: BATMAN AND THE ANIMATED REVOLUTION is becoming more and more of a real thing.

I AM VENGEANCE.

I AM THE NIGHT.

I AM (writing a) BATMAN (book!)

An audiobook about a podcast?

And at least one of them is haunted… 👻

The amazing @tamoorh.com is back to tell my seasonal short story about a popular paranormal podcast - COULDN’T SCARE LESS!

So many people would go wild for you guys doing that. It's the The Room of the anime fandom. Just gotta get someone to renew the US license and get that beautiful beautiful dub track.

Kara Dennison @rubycosmos.bsky.social · 3d

It’s wild to see the two extremes.

Already on a quest to get @rifftrax.com to do Garzey’s Wing (come on @discotekmedia.bsky.social this could be the funniest rights acquisition ever) so I’m not sure it’d be ethical of me to attack twice. 🤣

Was recently catching up to The Water Magician and the action stopped for a whole page at one point to explain why ice is slippery and that’s it. Same pacing. Same pointless inclusions. We could be reading but you read a wiki article and you have a quota.

I’m reading a Dan Brown novel (it’s for @372pages.bsky.social shut up) and I’ve just realized what the big pointless info dumps remind me of.

Light novels.

Fab quote from @rubycosmos.bsky.social for my new book, THE SECRET OF THE SAPPHIRE SENTINEL! Thank you so much! 💙🦋🔹📘 Preorder from your favorite bookseller. I’m writing this as J. Dianne Dotson, but you can find it under Jendia Gammon as well.
#books #scifi #fantasy @press-android.bsky.social

"Much like its predecessor, The Secret of the Sapphire Sentinel is the kind of post-apocalyptic story we need in this day and age: one full of hope for the future. The ongoing story of Glimmerbright presents a future world that isn't just survivable; it's colorful, exciting, and brimming with
life. Nor does this book ever talk down to its younger readers, tackling the difficult in-between teenage years when we aren't sure whether it's us changing dramatically or everyone else. Equal parts futuristic sci-fi, whimsical fantasy, and teen romance, this is a worthy successor to The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern."
