So thrilled to have "Strangler Fig" featured in @innerworlds.bsky.social Issue 8!
innerworlds.bsky.social
💚💫 Issue Eight has landed! 💫💚

This one includes a larger-than-usual number of ghosts and doubles, and the usual dizzying range of emotions and experiences.

If you're ready for a rollercoaster ride through our inner lives, check out the issue now: inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-eight-...

#SFF #Horror
Inner Worlds cover with acid green masthead and artwork showing a part of a Black person's face in dark blue with a glitchy texture, surrounded by flame like shapes like heatvision hotspots, with green and yellow edges and bright scarlet centres. The person's gaze is very intense, and seems hurt, wary, angry.

#bookreview no.22: The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas. It's simply not the kind of book I prefer. The most affecting part is the beginning, with the friendship between siss and unn, and then of course unn in the ice. Otherwise too sparse and quiet for my taste, but altogether good at what it does.

Ok now the COVID test came back positive lmao.
katharinetyndall.bsky.social
I feel like absolute hell. Keep testing negative for covid but I have exactly the symptoms of the new strain going around - can't talk, can barely swallow. According to the German health ministry like one in 10 ppl are sick rn 😱😱😱😱😱 stay healthy ppl

This is so fucking dumb and infuriating. Please never call anyone a militant vegan again lol, it's the carnivores who are militant and are using everything in their legislative power to enforce meat consumption.

I'll have a spore-laden, devilish fungal story in the next issue of The Dodge! Just in time for mushroom season 🍄🍂🍄

"I was once on a plane that suffered a monumental loss."

Folks, you aren't prepared for this new @whitneycollins.bsky.social story--perfectly written, utterly strange, incredibly compelling. We are so damn excited (and lucky) to share "Truth of Consequences" this week on hex! An absolute wonder! ✈️
Truth or Consequences by Whitney Collins
I was once on a plane that suffered a monumental loss. High above a green and turgid swath of Florida, one of the aircraft’s giant white engines began smoldering like a marshmallow. This mechanical de...

The actual scientific study was trying to highlight advances in inhaler technology which do not use HFAs, a greenhouse gas. But it's easier to get clicks by telling people "the libs" want to ban inhalers.

This is clear anti-climate ragebait by a Sinclair Broadcasting-owned local media outlet. The actual scientific article does not recommend lowering inhaler use at all. This is right wing media trying to tell you those evil climate activists want your kids to suffocate.

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds
Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

I'm banning myself from buying new books until I finish all the ones I bought this year :o

This won't mean much to most of y'all but I got a draconic visage AND an imbued heart this weekend. Best weekend of my gaming life by far.

#bookreview no. 21: The Empusium by Olga Tokarczuk. Rich as moss and heavy as mountain fog. This is a contender for the best book I've read this year. A queer, historical, mythological eco-horror set in the Silesian mountains. There was so much incredible detail in this work, I will have to re-read.

"...Thilo claimed that a landscape is capable of killing a person. That it has immense strength, because it is a concentration of various energies, the culmination of geometry. And this happens here too, in Görbersdorf, once a year the landscape takes its sacrifice and kills a man."

Also it seems like a revamp of the whole 2000s da Vinci Code fad but who am I to judge

As someone who did natural sciences I never got the whole dark academia thing. There's no way to romanticize spending 8 hours a day doing a meta-analysis on soil macrofauna.

Getting bullied for your dietary choice by adults in a restaurant in 2025 is pretty typical for rural Germany though so we just laughed it off and ate a really mid falafel somewhere else. Overall, probably wouldn't go back but the beach was cute
katharinetyndall.bsky.social
We actually found one place which listed 3 vegan options on their online menu so we went even though it was a schnitzel restaurant. In the restaurant their menu had changed and there was nothing vegan. We asked the waiter anyway and he basically laughed at us and two other customers joined in.

Went to Warnemünde yesterday which is like a kitchy German coastal town. It was beautiful and cute in a stuck-in-2005 way. Only shitty thing was there were absolutely no vegan options in town other than like, fries
katharinetyndall.bsky.social
Too bad we're vegans or they'd probably be geeked for like, sprats
