@TheBestLeiya @pablolarah what an odd and unpleasant thing to say.
Neil Gaiman
It's too late now. I'll probably never grow up and get a real job. I suppose I will just have to keep making things up and writing them down.
@johnaldis @ttk @amalia12 @DerMolly it was an anonymous quote before it qas attributed to Terry. I never personally heard him say anything like this.
Neil Gaiman boosted:
@neilhimself no longer seems to be active on @Mastodon, so might as well share his words here. #books #writing
Neil Gaiman boosted:
"Books aren't just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. […] We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings."

Coraline in 3D!
@neilhimself 's beautiful story is being rereleased in its 3D version in some theatres this summer!
I've never seen Coraline on screen, and from what I hear, the 3D version is a 3D movie that actual works and is remarkable to watch. It's not playing in my little city, but it feels like it could be worth driving to a nearby city to see. A little road trip might be in our future 💛💙♥️
@thegibson @RetweetableN14 @benbrown that was me, yes.
@ftwaijing absolutely okay!
@ftwaijing it's lovely. And I'm glad I wasn't a judge.
@thegibson @RetweetableN14 @benbrown was it the con where they put me to work?
@ClintonAnderson my last reply here was April 24th. https://mastodon.social/@neilhimself/112324261410407830

'I wish I had a little thing on my computer that just replaced the word 'woke' with 'treating people with respect' —Neil Gaiman
Here you go, @neilhimself a little chrome extension I wrote that does just that. It's an excellent reminder.

A panel from the #graphicNovel adaptation of @neilhimself
's book #Coraline drawn by P Craig Russell that immediately made me think of " #aiArt" 😏
(I hope I'm tagging the real Neil Gaiman and not an imitator... We gotta get him off mastodon.social if he is; half the smaller instances have already defederated from @mastodon.social for not having sufficient moderation 😅)
Neil Gaiman boosted:

Hello everyone!
Have you ever thought what is you favorite thing about lunchtime?
What if lots of school pupils can't have the chance to have a free lunch?
Every child should have a healthy school dinner, every day.
It's very important for them, to share lunchtime, to eat healthy food and to spend time with other children!
Help and sign the petition at the link below: https://freeschoolmealsforall.org.uk/
I signed it, thank you @neilhimself to share the link on IG! So grateful.
Neil Gaiman boosted:
Neil Gaiman @neilhimself is auctioning off some of his incredible art collection!
Proceeds will go to charities, and to the artists who are still living.
They're beautiful, meaningful pieces.
