ALL of your books are amazing 💙 I own ‘em all, haven’t finished all of them yet but I want to. Had to pause when sometimes the head bees get too bad and I can’t read anything other than fluffy fic and then I leave it too long and have to re-read… but I love your writing.

If only someone had written a really gay sci-fi horror book built around the central theme of how nostalgia is a weapon wielded by a fascistic and capitalist state
Anyway, read PROPHET. Me and @hjm.bsky.social are super proud of it.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

I made the mistake of waking at 3:30-4am. Saw there was this and couldn’t wait. Ended up sobbing thinking about Ed all alone. Waiting. FUCK.

Nina Oyama just posted this update about Deadloch S2 on IG. Looks like we’ll be getting it next year! 👀

nina.oyama: Had so much fun hosting Upfront with Amazon, making silly jokes and talking all things DEADLOCH SEASON 2 !!! For all those asking- It's coming out next year !!! @katemclennan and @katemccartney have created a second season that is so so funny, with the most deranged, compelling characters, and a crime story that's going to keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a huge honour to be a part of this show. Sorry to everyone at Upfronts who expected me to say the C word... I was banned from doing that... honestly this is the first time l've played a corporate and people have complained I didn't swear enough. Thank you @hweiloke @bigwilliestyle78 @jordssyd and the team for a bloody great time and thanks Sarah Christie for capturing my sportsmanship at the after party. Hmu by @kellytappmakeup!

A Bit of Whimsy
Roberta Seaport (Deepdarkwaters)

Summary:
Arts and crafts day goes extremely awry when Stede, Alma, Louis, and Lucius are somehow pulled from 2025 into the old oil seascape they embellished together. Unfortunately, what they added to the waves was a 1717 pirate battle surrounded by vicious hungry sea monsters.

Now Stede's the captive of a mouldy maniac, spared from threats of gruesome torture only as long as he keeps sharing all the Mozart and Bach he can remember from the future, while Lucius and the kids were saved from becoming sabre-toothed shark poo by the crew of the legendary Blackbeard, who is really nothing like the stories.

Sometimes you find your family in very unexpected places. And sometimes a mutiny and a velvety suit help.

Every day that passes I become more convinced that Magneto was right.

Magneto, a character from the X-men comics states, in response to the statement “nobody’s talking about extermination”

“No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you.”
