Cover Reveal! Bluest Moon Coming Soon
Artwork is by Romain Bonnet romainbonnet.net and I can’t express how happy I am with how this turned out.

Cover image sample for the book Bluest Moon by Harry Meier. A shoulders-up image of a femme-presenting cybernetic person staring off into the distance through haunting blue on blue eyes. The bottom half of her face is the only skin showing through blue and orange cybernetic panels. Red circuitry drips down from her head as she looks out from a dark corner. The background is weathered stone wall of more shades of blue to teal. The line at the top of the cover reads "Take the ship. Take back their home."

1000x This. This term has demeaned the work of so many artists and reduced their labor to some kind of commodity 'content' whose value they can race to the bottom
swantower.bsky.social Marie Brennan @swantower.bsky.social · 3d
Inspired by someone elsewhere, I hereby vow to try to avoid the terms "content" and "content creator," unless I *must* talk about work across so many fields that a generic term is the only one that will suffice. Let's not reduce art, criticism, journalism, etc. to an undifferentiated smear of Stuff.

Last night's "brilliant" dream invention:
Sock Sacks
It's a sock, knitted variety, knee high, with a flared top and a strap. You can carry it like a bag, or you can wear it, use the strap as a sock garter, and keep all your things in the new pocket around your calves.
Brilliant! Thanks dream...

Yokai night at the Japanese friendship garden. The kiddo imagined herself a spirit of a cat who sabotages factories by stealing gears and keys. The more traditional Yokai paraded and danced through the garden.

Magical night #yokai #cosplay

a spread of Taylor Swift Life of a Showgirl boxed set items laid out across a wooden table. Center is a pendant keychain with a purple glittered eye and a T.S. on a chain in an orange glittered and velvet case. The CD and Taylor's showgirl photos are arranged around it.

Birb update: Xrime (pronounced crime) is doing much better. 1st vet visit came back with a host of antibiotics for digestive and eye troubles he picked up at the rescue. Nightly "drug Xrime" treatments have worked well, and he's on the mend.
Gray cockatiel named Xcrime (pronounced crime, and don't ask; it was my daughter's idea). Xrime sits on a hand, looking to his right toward the camera, as if to say, "I see you there. You're not gonna feed me that pink goop again are you? I'm keeping an eye on you..." A girl stands in the background, holding the birb.

New birb from the rescue is so freakin lovey. Still makes baby noises when pet. Needs a bath and a vet checkup, and they're staying quarantined from the old man of the house for a while, but my daughter already named them. Welcome home Xrime #birb #pets

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

This is Latte. He does not know how many books you have read. But knows for a fact that he has read more. 12/10 (IG: coton_latte_is)
a Coton de Tulear, or a white, fluffy, maltese-looking dog, stands on a hardwood floor and looks over at you with a skeptical glance through his clear-rimmed glasses. we feel extremely judged.
