Sir Laurence Olivier reciting Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare is very much an understated masterclass in performance poetry. (Absolute goosebumps.)

George Carlin in 2005:

"They don't want people smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago."

He died in 2008. Nothing changed.

This woman has combatted Xenomorphs, engaged in cultural exchange with Navi, been both the actress who played the communications officer and been the communications officer aboard the NSEA Protector, and been possessed by the Gatekeeper. Of course, she's instantly cool.

Really awesome how you can just put Sigourney Weaver in an X-Wing flight suit and she immediately becomes one of the coolest Star Wars characters ever.

@WizardSci Somebody should tell the New Edge Sword and Sorcery guys that they're clearly wasting their time then

[Gabino Iglesias @Gabino_Iglesias]

Had fun with V. Castro the other night. You should go pick up her latest (signed) at the Arboretum B&N if you’re in Austin. If you need extra darkness or whatever, they have some signed copies by yours truly as well.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Brian Jacques explains why he does not have sympathetic villains in his Redwall series:

"When I was a boy, morality was taught in school and in church but I think that is no longer true to the extent that it used to be. I try to create very clear moral signposts of what is right and what is wrong. The children who read my books are generally at an age where they need to have things spelled out in 'black and white,' without ambiguity. I often tell my readers that my baddies are bad and my goodies are good. I won't have sympathetic baddies and schizophrenic goodies in my books."

Should more writers do this?

[Gabino Iglesias @Gabino_Iglesias]

Today I remembered this venue I used to write/review for. I even edited a volume for them. One day they stopped replying to my emails. Then they took down some of my work. I recall wondering why. Now? Fuck them.

[Natural Philosophy @Naturalphilosy]

“Practice any art… no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.”

- McKellen reciting Vonnegut

[Gabino Iglesias @Gabino_Iglesias]

I want to write outside again, but for that, I must first clean the table. Expect giveaways or something soon…
