@neilwilliamson.bsky.socialReposted by @kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialNow that the sparkly dust has settled in Fantasycon 2026, if you caught the bug in Glasgow and fancy a wee bit more - or if you couldn't make it and have had a raging FOMO for the ages all weekend - you might like to consider @pictcon.bsky.social!
It takes place in Perth next Saturday 17th.
@kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialOMFG - buy this and read Rachael’s story, it is fucking amazing!! A deeply dark story, absolutely gripping, unflinchingly gritty in its emotional intensity - I felt like I was holding my breath through the whole story, it was so intense in the absolute best of ways!!
@kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialOh hi there - just a reminder that AI use isn’t just about the thieving of generative AI. Whatever someone might be using any AI features for is contributing to massive environmental damage and destruction as well as human health problems (let’s talk about infrasound).
@thepinkperzine.bsky.socialReposted by @kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialthe injustice of ai pocket perzine! the "fuck ai" graphic didn't feel like enough so i made a teeny zine as well. i don't want to call it "mini" cause it's even smaller than the standard size for that so we're going with "pocket" haha

@kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialEven me, as the most heating stingy in the house, was like “yeh, it’s actually getting chilly in the mornings”…trying not to think about the bills!!😬
@kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialIt is ‘Turned the Heating On Day’ in our house.
@neilwilliamson.bsky.socialReposted by @kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialBtw this was the trail. Looks like it was only officially a thing in August unfortunately, but the buildings are still there for those who are interested.

@kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialWhen photography means you need to lie on the ground to capture the best angles details of the Adam Smith building!
@kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialNope! It all feels too shiny for me!
@kirstyislathomas.bsky.socialOne of my favourite notebooks is by @gailmyerscough.co.uk ! 😁
