Not originally my snark, but when I came across it I was amused:

I never expected the Imperial Radch books to predict anything, and yet here we are, legally all the same gender.

Three people embracing: a long-haired white brunette in a shirt and waistcoat, a fat white woman in a blue dress, and a dark-haired man, also in a shirt and waistcoat. Everyone looks a little disheveled. The lighting is sexy. They are for sure about to Do It.

Sidney Hargrave (@shargrave.bsky.social) did this beautiful character art for my book THE MISCHIEVOUS LETTERS OF THE MARQUISE DE Q (www.feliciadavin.com...) and I love it so much

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

A young boy in front of a light blue background. This boy has dark skin and short locks that stick up. He is wearing red goggles on his head, tan gloves as he holds a metal pipe over his shoulders like a bo staff, a bandage on his chest under a tattered,white, tank top, and beige pants that are rolled up under his knees. He has a brown tool belt with a wrench and a yellow pouch. He has brown boots with blue laces. Just so you know, I drew this several years ago, before I knew about the doc martin lace code. His blue laces don't have anything to do with that. His boots aren't doc martins. This has to do with pramary color accents. Red goggles, yellow pouch, and blue laces. (However, if anyone asked him about his laces in that context, he would probably say 'yes' and then come up with an exaggerated, fantastical tale for it that you know isn't true, but he's a pretty decent storyteller.) He's just a nice boy who makes sure that the spaceship engine is in tip top shape. He's very bright for his age and can also be a bit mischievous.

I love them
