Updating my bio for a forthcoming academic collection from "...is now an independent scholar" to "...is now a children's author" feels like a final statement that I'm finished with academia at last.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

#Edinburgh solidarity call out. @gameworkers.co.uk have been targeted by the most heinous union busting the UK has seen in years.
They are calling for public support outside the R* office on Holyrood Road (next door to Dynamic Earth) at 1pm tomorrow (6th Nov). If you can make it down, please do!

PHANTASM (1979) is a real treat of a horror movie where ambition outstrips technical ability. It's so ambitious and weird and wild, and so clearly made by people who have seem SUSPIRIA precisely once and have no idea how to make a movie. I think I love it?

Reverse engineering an outline from my current novel draft so I can see where things are the wrong shape might be the thing that kills me. It's like writing an abstract, but so much worse!

The thing I like the best about Frank Franzetta's EOWYN VS THE NAZGUL LORD is that Eowyn was disguised as Dernhelm, just another one of the boys. Which means that this is how all the Rohirrim were dressed.

Turning up on a whim to a Halloween themed pub quiz, impulsively declaring our team name "John Carpenter's Quiz Team (directed by John Carpenter), and then achieving the highest score the quiz has ever seen feels like I might now be the villain of our local pub scene?
