Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

American Horror Story: America Measles is tearing through whole families (unvaccinated) in Texas. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

Flyaway was a brilliant blending of Australian Gothic and fairytales, I can't wait to see what Kathleen Jennings has done this time.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

I don’t see this mentioned at all about Andrew Cuomo. He’s on Netanyahu’s legal defence team for his ICC claims. nypost.com/2024/11/25/u...

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

They ripped him apart from his pregnant wife in her last trimester. They stole from him the birth of his baby boy Dean, his graduation ceremony, his first Father's Day. They detained him illegally for 104 days. But today, Mahmoud Khalil is FINALLY FREE. 🤍✊🏼

🎈🎈🎈🎁🎉HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY to me!!🎉🎁🎈🎈🎈 OTHER SIDES is now available for all you good-looking people. Buy your friends a copy. Buy your enemies two!

.@CBS8 in San Diego reports that due to Bishop Michael Pham’s presence in the courtroom, in effect, cases of migrants today were postponed.

Trying not to cry as I type this, but in regards to a recent court decision in the US: While yes, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is about vampires, it's also about growing up with your body against you and the constant destructive prison of this. young Hailey almost didn't make it. This book is for her.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

“Modern miners are contracting it at younger ages and at rates not seen since the 1970s… Nationwide, one in 10 working miners is now estimated to have black lung. In the heart of the central Appalachian coal fields, it’s one in five. Often, their disease is more severe, the progression faster.”

It is equally (and in my view more) important to share what we want people to read, as opposed to amplifying the bad.

Happy #Juneteenth and let me ask specifically my white followers and white community members to join me in sending some funds to the very brilliant @zinrock.bsky.social PayPal.me/TeriClarke

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

En attenant l’arrivée de plus de traductions de @johnlangan.bsky.social en français, écoutez donc cette interview ! youtu.be/HI8ISKQaDQI?...

I'm super excited to read @johnlangan.bsky.social's new collection, "Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions" coming out August 5th from @wordhorde.bsky.social. I'd pre-order now, but have no idea where I'll be living by then... wordhorde.com/books/lost-i...

why would anyone anywhere in the world trust anything one american government promises when this can happen to them a few years later

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

I’m now a new fan of @johnlangan.bsky.social The development of events in this story takes directions I would have never guessed, and my idea of what the title meant/means now is much different than initially. I never try to give too much away when I share my experience with a book. #booksky

The original cover piece for @johnlangan.bsky.social forthcoming collection ‘Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions’. Readers are going to love this collection. Preorder and more info @wordhorde.bsky.social

Just preordered @johnlangan.bsky.social’s forthcoming book LOST IN THE DARK AND OTHER EXCURSIONS from publisher @wordhorde.bsky.social! John is one of this generation’s most gifted & accomplished writers of horror & the weird, and I’m excited to interview him next month for Chthonica!

FYI: BODIES OF WORK, the upcoming supernatural novella from GHOST EATERS’ Clay McLeod Chapman, hits shelves next year via Titan Books - we’ve got an exclusive cover reveal and excerpt within.

I will appear on the panel “Cosmic Horror: Beyond Lovecraft” June 15 at 10 a.m. at StokerCon.

Nous avons eu le plaisir d’interviewer dans le cadre des Imaginales @johnlangan.bsky.social autour de son roman The Fisherman avec Fred de @ind100podcast.bsky.social On a parlé de deuil, d’horreur cosmique, de Weird FIction, Necronomicon, de musique ... youtu.be/HI8ISKQaDQI?...

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

Congrats to @tananarivedue.bsky.social!!

Thank you to our amazing jury, Michelle Renee Lane Anya Martin, Sam J Miller, Leslie Klinger and Kerry Leigh Relf for the great volume of works they read for this beautiful list for the Shirley Jackson Awards! Congratulations to the nominees in novelette!

Editors of the world, listen up: Swanwick, Lucius, and PKD in a single story! What are you waiting for?

Los Angeles' response: singing and dancing in the face of the fascists.

RFK Jr. lied — and people will die.

Brilliant and timely.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

This is some depraved sicko shit from the shitty depraved sickos in DHS & ICE. Like, if you agree to do this you're a creep. There should be a set distance between yourself & playgrounds/schools. You should have to introduce yourself to the neighbors wherever you live & tell them what you've done.

Trump invoked a rarely used provision that allows for the deployment of the Nat Guard if there is a rebellion against the U.S. gov. @nytimes.com: “No such rebellion is underway. …Americans in cities routinely cause more property damage after their sports teams win or lose.”

What a fucking legend.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
