Well I’m being made redundant. It seems to be happening to a few friends at the moment.
If anyone is looking for an addition to their marketing team or needs an experienced administrator please let me know x
Just saw Walton Goggins in an advert promoting AI.
Selling out his respected acting career to promote an immoral, unethical capitalist organisation.
Didn't he just play that role?

Looking for some more Vampire novel recommendations.
I’m currently reading ‘Will it Hurt by Lily X’ and I’m waiting on my copy of ‘Empire of the Dawn by Jay Kristoff’.
Really want to keep the theme going.
I read Wuthering Heights every year. I like to wait for a really rainy day or a storm if I'm lucky x
Well that's it. Ya girl is ready to submit her final Master's Portfolio.
I'm waiting until Halloween to submit it as a little goth tradition (I legally changed my name on Halloween), but it's done!

Boosting for anyone interested in Diverse Books.
First draft of the Masters portfolio is DONE! Now comes the hard part. Edits.

It’s #bookshopday and this handy starter pack has all the LGBTQIA+ book love you need!
A person with shoulder-length, wavy ash blonde hair and vibrant green bangs poses confidently indoors. They are wearing round glasses, a nose ring, and a necklace with a metallic pendant. Their outfit includes a black mesh top featuring an illustration of a Sphynx cat surrounded by stars, paired with loose black cargo pants with a drawstring waist. Visible tattoos adorn both arms. In the softly lit background, there is a framed abstract green and purple painting on the wall.
I don’t often post selfies on here, but I’m in love with this top, and I’m so happy with the body changes happening right now!

I’ve made this mistake and the poor people in my book had to watch as their home morphed from a village to a town to a hamlet for the sake of linguistic variety. They must have been so confused.
Having some bad pain days again but only 2000 words or so of my masters portfolio to go.
Then on to edits!
Had an amazing time at an old book fair. There were so many classics I could never afford. I think the highlight was being able to very carefully hold a book from 1518. And yes of course I had to sniff it.

Thank you. Me too x

I'm not a meme lord, nor am I good at marketing, but I wrote a novel about a tortured sword waifu who'll do anything for her princess and a succubus dommy mommy who's out to reclaim her crown... You should check it out!

Will be finished by the end of November. I am both excited and nervous to see it finished. x
Of course. Trauma brain always wants one hand on the wheel. And thank you! x
Thank you for this. It's hard to get out of that mindset sometimes when trauma brain takes over x
"Customers who bought this also bought copies of The Daily Mail and a 4 pack of special brew"
I know i still need to find a new job. It's making me have stomach cramps and insomnia from the anxiety. But at least i feel strong enough to be creative again. It gives me something else to look forward to. At the end of the day I can shit down the work PC and find a cosy place to write and escape.
The reason I left BlueSky for a while was my mental health tanked. I took sick leave for stress, and just stopped writing. I felt there was no point being here if I had nothing to talk about.
I'm back at work now. It's become very toxic, and it's not ok. But I'm writing. And I'm here.

I think it’s my new comfort book when things aren’t great. X

The image shows the cover of a book titled "A Dowry of Blood" by S.T. Gibson. Details on the cover: It is labeled as a The Sunday Times Bestseller. The design is gothic and elegant, with a black background, red floral embellishments, and a portrait of a woman in period clothing (a red off-shoulder dress and pearl necklace). The woman's eyes are obscured by a red lace-like band, enhancing the dark and mysterious tone. The title "A Dowry of Blood" has two interlocking red rings forming the "OO" in "BLOOD." A quote at the bottom from Alexis Henderson describes the book as "Thrilling and seductive."
This book is incredible. This isn't just a vampire novel, @stgibson.bsky.social gave a love letter to anyone who has been or is trapped by domestic abuse.
It says you are seen. You are loved. And that no matter what, you can heal.
Thank you for this gift. x

Whoop whoop! Lap cat say's you got this! x
As a trans and queer woman I can confidently say they have ALWAYS been around and always been loud enough for us to hear. I just wished more people listened sooner.
Readable to me is "doesn't end up inn the DNF pile".
A framed painting of purple foxglove flowers against a green background. The main flower spike is prominently centered, with smaller foxglove spikes in the background. The green backdrop has vertical drips of paint, giving it a textured and abstract forest-like effect. The frame is metallic gold with a white matting.
A painting of tall purple foxglove flowers set against a green background. The central foxglove spike is large and detailed, surrounded by two smaller spikes on either side. The background features vertical green paint drips, creating an abstract forest-like effect. The artist's signature "S Gregory" appears in the bottom right corner.
My amazing fiancé painted my favourite flower for me. It now has pride of place on our lounge wall. I adore foxgloves and I adore her. x
