For those of us who never used all of our Bluesky invite codes before they went away, they should be turned into uninvite codes where we can delete accounts of our choice

Quick reminder that if you don't know me personally, but you still have witty comments to make about the manner in which I present myself, then now is an excellent time to keep them to yourself.

Hi, I'm Mike Brooks. Come with me on my epic quest to find the last five minutes of cinematic footage in the world that no Facebook reel anywhere has ever claimed was *improvised*.

My #gorkamorka mob’s newest recruits… well, Bogrip isn’t new, I’ve just got around to stripping and painting his model, since it’s only going to get used if he ever has to dismount from his bike. Chainz *is* new, he’s a new Spanner to replace the one who got killed in my last game…

I got an ARC of this at Eastercon and have already read 200 pages in a day - it's fun and funny and £6.99 is an absolute STEAL.

my parents on the moon launch

mom: why are they going to the moon

dad: same reason we go to your brother in Australia- some people like going very far away to a place where you die if you go outside

I return from @easterconuk.bsky.social exhausted but happy. Wonderful to see so many great people again, sit in fascinating panels, be on panels that were hopefully at least vaguely fascinating in turn, discuss business and craft, make people dance at the disco, and bankrupt the hotel via breakfast.

London Weird by AV Wilkes 🩸📚💙. Three perfectly crafted, tremendously gothic stories set in a London that has something very wrong with it. Three women become modern gothic heroines, caught in spiralling obsession & often thoroughly justified fears around their careers, relationships, pregnancies.

Hoping we might get a longer run time out of the disco but that will depend on the hotel.

First panel at #eastercon : Can we talk about Bruno? I didn't mean to just sketch the whole panel, but that's what ended up happening...

Pink News have now:

- Made journalists redundant in search of a ‘reporter-free newsroom’. This includes one of the UK’s only trans reporters covering our community, and many other talented queer reporters.

- Uncritically platformed Wes Streeting spinning taking healthcare away from trans kids.

Articles like this make a lot more sense when you realise the publication just struck a deal with an AI slop company.
