Now that our Sky Q box has finally decided the Apple TV app can work again, we've managed to watch the last 2 episodes of Pluribus.
What a weird, wonderful, occasionally heart breaking piece of deeply human rooted sci fi.
Wonder where season 2 will go from here?

I’m looking for horror / dystopian / sci-fi book cover artists!
I’m particularly interested in queer, BIPOC, or disabled artists.
Feel free to drop recommendations, links, examples and so on. I’m not actively commissioning right now, just researching for the (hopefully near) future! #writing #art

New Year's silent film thread time!
A Page of Madness, 1926, wasn’t found until 1971. Made by art collective Shinkankakuha (School of New Perceptions), it's difficult to know what's happening as there are no intertitles. It doesn't matter though, as the imagery is so wonderfully bizarre
