Had this been a different show, Reynard and Portia would’ve made a nice couple.

They finally announced the airdate for s5 of Shakespeare and Hathaway. It’s about time.

Sounds about right for Mr Hammond. Always dressed up with nowhere to go.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

This implies that someone will actually bother! Ted couldn’t be arsed, Brian is too busy with Jane, David “has plans“, and Paul ain’t saving nobody.

So…where’s Gwen Riley?

Oh bums, I've just watched the latest repeat of The Brothers, they'll have a board meeting about whether to do and then Evil Colin Baker will sell me out somehow

Honestly, I <really> hope it's these two (and Alfred).

I was not expecting to see this bit of cuteness while reading the Sixth Doctor page of the #doctorwho 2019 Annual.

Let the truth be known! 🙌

An excerpt of the Doctor Who 2019 Annual. It reads “Best Friend: Peri Brown” and is accompanied by a brief biography of Peri along with a photo of her and the Doctor in the TARDIS

The Bayban the Butcher boxset and Bayban Ascending tie-in. Which is odd considering Blake's 7 has a small but robust fanbase.

I’d love a volume two, but I don’t think it’s in the cards.

Hi @tme1998.bsky.social, do you have the actual copies of the media you have listed on your site or is information (such as duration, dates, and images) compiled from various sources?

finland @paulmerroney.bsky.social · Feb 11

Please start!

I’ve got nothing against genre fic (especially romance, which would be my favorite if I had to choose), but like you said, it’s been difficult finding accounts that aren’t dedicated to speculative stories or whatever’s popular on social media.

I read Monte Cristo in two days based on some random recommendation by a celebrity I like, so I think I liked it haha.

If Beale Street Could Talk, but any of James Baldwin’s books count.

Sula got me hooked on Toni Morrison

Hi #booksky. On my journey to making my bluesky more book-oriented, I’m looking for people to follow who read primarily (and post about) literary fiction, poetry, or classics in general.

I’m a huge fan of Japanese novels and poetry, so I’ve dabbled in my fair share.

“On Love and Barley” by Basho is a nice haiku collection, as are “For All My Walking” from Santoka and “Essential Haiku” with Basho, Buson, and Issa (translated by Robert Hass).

At nearly 700 pages, my longest was definitely Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis. I couldn’t put this book down. It’s depressing thru and thru, but helps you see EP as the well-rounded person he was.

Shortest was Gd Help the Child by Toni Morrison. Also a good read.

That’s what I’m saying! Fanart also has a reputation for being nsfw depending on who you talk to, but that doesn’t stop the artists from having an “upper hand”. You can draw SFW, NSFW, AU art and be fine.

Meanwhile writers as a collective have to write canon-compliant genfic to be taken seriously.

Footnote: I’m not saying I want to shove my writing into anyone’s face, but, as someone who is not ashamed of my work, I don’t like these imaginary barriers that force me to look at my work in a shameful way.
