I am very proud and excited to be able to announce that my novel, Dwell, will be published by @northodoxpress.bsky.social in 2026!
I couldn’t hope for a better publisher for my historical lit fic gay love story. I’m really looking forward to this!

Sunshine and heat make me feel defensive, misanthropic, angry, anxious, resentful and impatient. I don’t want to see anyone, go anywhere or do anything. Even bright, low winter light depresses me. I feel under siege
These things might help: Drink plenty of water, Find ways to keep cool, Visit indoor places, Plan ahead for summer
Weather has decided it’s time for my annual reminder to you that around 12% of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) sufferers have Summer Depression variant. For us, sunshine makes life much harder. Please be patient and supportive. And hearing it described as “good weather” all the time doesn’t help!
aa thank you pam!!! such a cute warm prompt ☀️☀️🌸🐶🐦
A panel of Foxes In Love comics @foxes_in_love featuring two foxes, one blue and one green, in simple yet expressive drawing. In this one, the foxes are sitting together looking at the computer screen. Blue fox reminds Green gently “You forgot to add the alt text.” And Green replies, “Oh.” The Foxes in Love comics are always posted to Bluesky and other platforms with alt text, making it one of the most beloved inclusive content on social media.
A gentle reminder: there’s one simple thing everyone here can do to make this space friendlier and more inclusive for those with limited vision. Put an image description to the pictures you post!
See that +ALT button? Click and write a few words to explain what it’s about. 💕 #accessibility
digital illustration: cherry blossom trees float all over the image, the branches and trunk of the cherry blossom tree are visible at the top and on the right. on a swinging outdoor wooden bench dan and phil (youtubers) rest. phil, a white man with almost-white hair, lays on his back. he's holding hands with dan and looking at the phone dan is holding in his other hand. dan, a white man with brown curly hair is sitting on the bench. phil's head rests on dan's shrek t-shirt (phil is wearing a full kodak merchandise outfit, a grey tshirt with 'kodak' written in red and yellow sleeves, blue jogging trousers with the start of 'kodak' visible on the side). they're both smiling at dan's phone! a pigeon stands on the bench arm nearest to dan. a little orange kitten sleeps on phil's chest. a big happy corgi(-ish) dog is sat on the grass in front of phil. in the foreground of the picture we can see what they're looking at on the phone - a selfie that looks like it was taken a few minutes ago! the photo has been 'liked'. we can see the smile on dan's face and phil's face next to the shrek on dan's t-shirt. the selfie's drawn in a more cartoonish style! the main image is still cartoony, but a lot more detailed and more realistic in its proportions. the image overall is soft and glowing with butter yellows, cherry blossom pinks, warm pink-toned browns, turquoise, and various shades of green! the silver chains holding the bench up are shining in the sun, looking silver and gold in various places. if you zoom in the viewer can see little happy tears welling in dan's eyes (or maybe it's hayfever hahah)!
I comm’d the wonderful @mochinov.bsky.social for relaxing dnp Notting Hill park bench scene art and I can’t believe he came back so quickly with the loveliest and most whimsical piece ever! 😭😭 look at all these details! the linked fingers? the tiny kitten? the amazing alt text! 🥹 ty nov ! 🫶
