HAD TO DRAW HIS TATTOO 🚬☔️

#カラオケ行こ #letsgokaraoke #成田狂児
Kyouji from Let’s Go Karaoke! His back is to you, his shirt is rain soaked through and is revealing his Yakuza tattoos of a large crane. He’s smoking, his head slightly turning. His left hand is holding the omamori.

@stephenaryan.bsky.social IKYKWIM!!!!!
A screenshot of a post from a guy named Jon Scott who says, "How to tell a Maine Coon cat from a Norwegian Forest cat: the Maine Coon cat looks like Ron Perlman. The Norwegian Forest cat looks like Linda Hamilton. If you weren't watching Beauty and the Beast in 1987, I see no value in further elaboration." Below this are two pictures of cats. One looks like Ron Perlman. The other looks like Linda Hamilton.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!

So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

and here's a static cover reveal post for people who want to skip the book trailer and/or hate videos! cover art by Lucy Rose

THE LORD OF THE WOOD releases in July 2026, from @hanoversquarepress.bsky.social! #author

preorder now: gatheringvolumes.com/item/44euZQq...
the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood, framed in gold with gold flowers against a dark teal background around the edges. The cover is teal with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..." "When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they can’t save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling for—and never see his family again." Text is in a textbox against a murky image of a forest, with the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood below the text, all against a dark teal background with gold curlicues in the corners. The cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood on a dark teal background with golden leaves overhead, surrounded by yellow text reading: plant magic; sentient forest trying to oops! murder people; intensely homoerotic shaving scene; the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories; hopeless romantic who's clueless about his own sexuality; Beauty & the Beast inspired by not a retelling; dual-POV brother/sister; love interest turning slowly into a beast; wound-tending.
