Talked about a friend's brother getting bitten by a death adder in Australia on twitter (he survived) and was suspended by its system 😂 I guess their algorithm now doesn't like snake stories... 🐍🐍

The sad thing is issues like these should in no way be "controversial." It does absolutely no harm to anyone for them to keep their names, but, because a bunch of traditionalists feel uncomfortable or dislike it and throw a temper tantrum, it apparently sparks controversy.
Hikaru Utada is no stranger to controversy. The singer is once again using their fame to make a statement, this time coming out in support of repealing a law that prevents married Japanese women from keeping their maiden names.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia won a second term on Saturday, completing a stunning turnaround for his governing center-left Labor Party. It was a resounding defeat for Peter Dutton, who was associated with some of President Trump’s messaging and policies. nyti.ms/4cZTmEd

Watched Sinners in IMAX. It's brilliant. Honestly nowadays I often rather wait for films to come out in streaming, so I don't have to risk covid/the flu/whatever else, and can watch it at home with snacks, a cuppa tea, and my cat. Sinners was worth watching in theatre www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLmb...

"No matter their stripes, one thing almost all politicians seem to have in common is a selective memory — that and their inevitable capitulation to the bloated billionaires who own the majority of our land, its natural resources and our elected officials."

TODAY. it is today that is the final order cut-off for Women of Marvel, that has my story (also my Marvel writing debut) "Things My Father Definitely Didn't Teach me" in it, with Wolverine, Bloodline and Walpurgis the magic cat. Is that a volcano? Yes that is. I hope you will order a copy.
Folks! The Final Order cut-off for Women of Marvel, She-Devils #1 is TOMORROW, and you can get a really nice Peach Momoko cover, too, with the character I wrote and drew (and Kelsey Ramsey also drew), WOLVERINE. The book is out at the end of February.

Lying on a beanbag on a 39ºC day eating chips and drinking tea while submitting short stories = submitting the wrong version of a file. Great start to the year 😅

Look, I'm a really good writer, a decent editor, & an avid reader. I stop reading PUBLISHED books by the bottom of the first page all the time bc they don't work for me. Usually it's story issue, not a craft one, bc they obvs worked for SOMEBODY, but "it doesn't work for me" is a valid rejection.
Authors! Submitting your story to an open call? As someone reading through 400+ submissions for an anthology, some tips:

Opening paragraph/sentence: I can tell within the first few sentences if a story is a 'no.'

'Maybes' turn to 'no's' by the end of the first paragraph. Brutal, but it's true.
