HOW ARE YOU FEELING? features WORLDS APART: A CONVERSATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH, which is the first ever, internationally available *comic* that I've co-created (instead of a prose/comics hybrid, that is). [1/3] waynereewrites.com/how-are-you-...

It was a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. BLOODSPORT, I think. My dad and uncle brought me to the neighbourhood cinema and I sat on the arm rest for most of it, just so I could see the screen. Yes, I was way too young for BLOODSPORT, but censorship was way stricter in Singapore back then.

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

how all of these conversations would actually go

Philip Bump@pbump.com

Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

I aspire to reach this level of confidence, charisma, and storytelling ability. (Conan's fine too.)

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

If you're in Singapore on Halloween, come join us. No fucked-up Shatner masks or stabbings though.

Researching for TALES FROM INCREDIBLE TALES is way more difficult than it was during our first season, just a few years ago—and let me tell you, trying to find reliable sources for information about Southeast Asian folklore in English wasn't exactly the easiest to begin with.

Charlotte Lydia Riley@lottelydia.bsky.social

i know enshittification discourse is getting boring, but 'has nobody published on this topic or is google scholar just fucked' is a really annoying part of a research process these days

I'm gonna be using this week to rest, clean up the flat, and write a bit. I'll be off Bluesky until next week maybe (or even longer), though I'll still be on Instagram to push TALES FROM INCREDIBLE TALES episodes.

Been a while since I posted this, so once again, if you can afford to do so and are even slightly inclined, please support my work by buying my books. Every one of them is some combination of interesting, informative, heartfelt, weird, and fun—and they all look amazing.

Deeply horrible seeing so many Harry Potter cosplays at NYCC this week, especially since nerds should REALLY fucking know better.

anyone who is still an enthusiastic harry potter fan in 2026 deserves to be publicly shamed & bullied

People are gravitating towards the 'Nicolas Cage is a stand-up guy, fighting his corner against AI creative overeach' and that's great and how it should be, fine. But not enough is being made that a studio has AI waivers on standby for talent, in front and behind the camera, that you HAVE to sign.

Wild watching Singaporeans be totally cool with the death penalty, but not being cool with public executions. Almost as if they don't want to see people executed by the state as human beings.

He's a good egg, that Jock, and this continues the slighting of Varley ass critical component of TDKR - it's one reason why I couldn't support and would never buy TDKR: Noir when it came out. That book doesn't have the impact or depth without Lynn Varley's colours. I know they're divorced but FFS.

Patrick A. Reed@djpatrickareed.bsky.social

A pretty good Harvey Awards tonight, but the Batman-centric Hall Of Fame awards were greatly marred by their omission of the third key creator of The Dark Knight Returns, the legendary Lynn Varley. (Props to @jockbsky.bsky.social for being the only speaker of the night to say her name.)

Replying to @antonhur.com

What she specifically said in my presence was that something "smells of the translator" and the usage of an olfactory metaphor is quite a choice—it's usually a tool of class paranoia. It's par for the course she'd consider genre to be something "lowly" to transcend. People really think like this!

Damion Searls somewhere is rolling his eyes at me and going, "LET IT GO, ANTON" but I have a point to make! Genre and translation are both deserving of derision to people like Lydia Millet (which was where I took this discourse), which is an interesting touchpoint between these two literatures.

Wait, so it’s EXORCIST III?

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

One of the best photos Lego has ever created. Just a chill cozy woman smiling and staring at her Joker artwork Lego set as she holds it.
