So the women’s hockey team got fresh pasta at a swanky restaurant in Milan with Stanley Tucci and the men’s team got cold McDonalds in a room blaring Toby Keith where the President didn’t even eat with them. Y’all idk if you’ve noticed but the patriarchy sucks FOR YOU.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

I used to love his work; now I can't even read the books I got before the news. I am not going to support his new book, or anthing else he does.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Review: The Strength of the Few – James Islington I started reading the second book in the Hierarchy series, "The Strength of the Few" by James Islington, at the end of December. I finished it on the 4th of January. This is a solid read, especially for a second book in a trilogy. It picks up right after the events of the first book; if you have not read the first book, there will be limited spoilers (nothing major). We follow Vis Telimus in 3 different worlds; Res, the world where Vis comes from; Obiteum, which is where Vis is rescued by Caeror, Ulciscor's brother; and Luceum, where Vis is rescued by a druid, and lives without knowing anything of what is happening.

“Authors” using AI slop in their books: a small list. Photo by Markus Spiske on Pexels.com We have lately seen a surge in AI slop. And yes, I will call it AI slop, because that is what it is: slop produced by AI. And if someone needs to use AI to create any kind of work of art, then they are not artists, but thieves. We all know that AI has been trained on actual artist's works without consent. AI companies have stolen those works and have trained their LLMs on it. None of those artists gave their consent, and they have not been paid for use of their copyrighted work.

Raúl Cruz illustrator Sci-Fi Fantasy Art

A small new publisher whose books I love ("Stars and Sabers")
have some great cover artists. Maybe check their books and see if there is an artist you like more. One of them is Raul Cruz www.artstation.com/raulcruz I absolutely loved the cover for "Echoes and Embers" from Pedro Iniguez.

Anime: Bastard!! Happy New Year 2026 everyone. I hope this new year will bring people love, joy and happiness. Except for books, I also love watching every medium available, from series to films (a big shout to "K-Pop Demon Hunters") to anime. For the past month I have been watching Bastard!! a shonen anime series with 2 seasons, with Season 1 having 24 episodes and Season 2 having 15 episodes. The story is not complete, but sources say that Season 3 is in development hell, so we will see if it ever comes out, or if I will have to seek out the manga series to read and see what happens in the end (if the manga is complete!).

I am currently reading "The Strength of the Few" by James Islington.
My two favourite reads are: "For Whom the Belle Tolls" by Jaysea Lynn and "The Everlasting" by Alix E. Harrow. There have been other notable reads, but these two have my heart.

@dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social Thank you. I finished "The Kindom trilogy" today. This was a really great ending, a realistic one. And I am glad it shows that, even after a just revolution, rebuilding, and reconstructing, and dealing with the aftermath will be a long haul. Highly recommended books.

As I am spending Christmas just with my bf. We have some food left over from yesterday, so we will eat that. I have the turkey which will be cooked tomorrow instead.
Which means, I can relax and read my book!

It is not from the 90s, but the 80s, a little gem of fantasy humour called "Wizards and Warriors". It starred Duncan Regehr and Jeff Conaway among others, and it lasted for only 8 episodes.
And of course, I think Firefly deserves much much more than it got.

Just FYI that the site and blog that I am currently writing at, are still being created. But the articles I will post will be accessible and readable.

I wish I was able to do videos, like TikTok, but it is not something I want to do. I prefer the writing medium for myself; I can better express myself there.
Plus, I absolutely hate the sound of my voice, and it would be a nightmare to edit.
