The question I get more than any other as a trial lawyer is "how can they do that? Isn't that illegal?"
How can the cop lie under oath? How can the landlord evict me for my religion or race? How can my job fire me for being queer? Isn't that illegal?
Oooh! Queer science-fantasy!
I SO strongly recommend Leesha's fabulous work!
Ha! True
Says the head of the studio whose films are KNOWN for emotionally traumatising people. Fuck off into the sun, Pete Docter.
Background image is a book cover: the top third is bright green with yellow text that reads Tiffani Angus, Val Nolan. The middle third is black with white text that reads Spec Fic for Newbies Vol. 3; the bottom third is green with yellow text that reads A Beginner's Guide to Writing Even More Subgenres of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. Foreground text: “Westerns have always had their share of capable women because the setting fosters independence and resourcefulness. Space westerns are no different, and, while the parent genre’s stereotypes of barmaid, schoolteacher, and golden-hearted sex workers (looking at you, *Firefly*) still exist, they’ve long been supplanted by a broader range of archetypes.” P. 47
Howdy, pardner! That's a mighty fine... *spaceship* you got there. SPEC FIC FOR NEWBIES 3, out soon from @lunapress.bsky.social looks at Space Westerns, why we took our wagon trains to the stars, and the various characters that walk into our alien saloons! Pre-order now! linktr.ee/specficforne...

For all ages I hugely enjoyed this trip to the 1980s with a fantastic group of kids saving the world - Mystery of the Midnight Cartographers by Barry Nugent www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/...
Is this also possibly an ill to lay at the feet of Crufts?

Antichef points out that "plum" used to refer to basically any kind of dried fruit, not specifically plums. Which is why plum pudding doesn't have plums in it.
It's funny to think of linguistic drift in the context of recipes and measurements.
does anyone know this story?
the corporate form actually dates to ancient Rome, where the idea - of an organisation being treated in law as a single person - gave rise to the creation of universities and colleges, guilds and political parties
*sends psychic hugs*
I’ve jsut dropped my pepper grinder INTO the bowl of eggs I’d JUST whisked up in preparation for omelettes. How’s the start of *your* weekend going? 😅

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

On the blog, @trip.bsky.social spills all the tea about running a Kickstarter. His new one *just* launched (find a link there)! So you get advice *and* an opportunity to take part in an older publishing model that now offers swag along with the book!

Another case of why good sampling matters. Saving for the Research Methods class.
It’s World Book Day 2026! So what better way to celebrate than to help a new (queer AF) fantasy novel come into the world?
Think Drag Race meets a gay Game of Thrones meets Zelazny’s Amber
This one is for all the people with toxic family…and a NEED for freedom

Done.
The Next Stretch Goal: Who wants to hear me read/record a no-frills audiobook version!?
Audiobooks are key for accessibility, as well as being a fantastic way to read in their own right. Sadly, they are very expensive to produce professionally.
But if you want to hear me read, spread the word!
