AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

I'm gutted and furious that the Iranian people will be injured, harmed and killed as a result of this absolutely depraved act of violence. What a complete travesty on every single level.

my ten year old self would be so confused to hear about how many hours of my adulthood have been spent staring terrified at my phone

It never feels like the right time to promote anything frivolous, but my birthday is tomorrow and it appears I'll be stuck at home sick, so I posted my short Concept High publicly. It's under 6 minutes and played the Austin Film Fest last year and I dare say it's fun www.youtube.com/watch?v=h05s...

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Coming out of the Buzzing About Horror Books panel at #stokercon, I not only have a stack of arcs I'm super excited about, but a whole host of other titles that are now on my TBR list.

So far today I've received 28 pitches for upcoming books. By 28 different publicists representing 28 different authors. There is so little space to cover any of them. Which is why this AI-created and unedited by humans summer reading list is such a slap in the face.

Very eager to read HOUSE OF BETH by @kermichele.bsky.social a secluded house in the woods, whispered secrets, and a mysterious presence leads the MC down a dark, haunted path

the kid looks fucking terrified, knows the university will probably punitively hold the diploma they've worked three or four years to get, and also knows people have been disappeared recently by fascists for doing way, way less. still says it! just an incredibly fucking brave person

House of Beth is a queer gothic stunner—darkly funny, haunted, & heartbreakingly honest about harm OCD, girlhood, & the ghosts that cling to us. Ty @simonandschuster.bsky.social for the eARC! Read my review! StoryGraph 🔗 tinyurl.com/5as97tc6 Goodreads 🔗 tinyurl.com/bdenkyj6 #booksky

This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to have work featured in the CLAW Art show. What I did not know was that this was the first time the show was juried and Bouquet Boy #100 placed 3rd in the show!!!

They are rounding up the students. Anyone acting like this isn’t a 4 alarm fire is deluded.

Folks came out in support of Mahmoud Khalil! And a ton of media so we will see how things get covered. I have more photos but these aren’t showing anyone’s face, so these are the ones you get.

my local bookstore closed; please send good thoughts my way during this difficult time

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't live your dreams

I LOVE THIS NOVEL and you should preorder it and also follow @kermichele.bsky.social to the ends of the earth which I guess is where we’re all writing now anyway ❤️‍🔥💋 www.simonandschuster.com/books/House-...

look, I'm not being hyperbolic when I say we owe the entirety of the gay rights movement — every single legal protection that has been clawed out of America's bigoted courts for the last 56 years — to the trans people at Stonewall. to erase them is to erase all of us and everything we've fought for

📎 It looks like you wrote "LGB" without adding the T! Delete that bullshit and keep our community out of your fascist collaborator mouth!

stonewall wouldn't be stonewall without trans people.

removing trans people from the stonewall site by simply deleting instances of the word “trans” and the letter “t” is some diseased mind shit

just trying to do my stupid little jobs while my country dissolves into sludge under my feet

I hate it when my ailing king is usurped by his scheming foreign vizier

⚡️🖤COVER REVEAL! 🖤⚡️ THE BELLES, my dark academia debut novel with a Southern gothic twist, is coming in fall 2025 from @atriabooks! It's a story about girls behaving badly in an exploration of the intricacies of privilege, the dark side of girlhood, and the lengths we'll go to prove we belong.
