The God Sun by @alankdell.bsky.social is a tense and disturbing sci-fi horror that I found reminiscent of the movie, Event Horizon. I really enjoyed this addition to the Augment Saga, and now I'm left wondering how this is going to tie in! If you're looking for a Halloween read, highly recommend it!

The only thing I don’t like about Bluesky is the lack of support for muted words used as images.
I’m tired of people bypassing my muted words by posting pictures of text. These people don’t use alt text and know what they are doing. @bsky.app
