It is absolutely a threat to real art. I have friends who are real artists, who are in the illustration business, who are losing work to genAI. The point of technofascist capture of the arts is to lower the expectations of audiences/consumers so they'll accept degraded, automated 'content'.

Happy International Goth Day. It's no coincidence that I wish my author photo looked like the inner sleeve of the Cure's Pornography.

My novel THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT gets a really wonderful shout-out on the latest episode of Colors of the Dark! So grateful to the hosts, Elric Kane and Rebekah McKendry. For anyone curious, it's at the 28:00 mark at the end of the discussion of recent horror films.

Got the new @michaelwehunt.bsky.social novel today, unfortunately I specified Appalachian English so it's titled "Th' Halloweve Pitcher Haint," I guess? I will soldier on. (Not actually this is a bit but also yaaay I got my ARC today can't wait to crack it open, there are no problems w/it)

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

This is spot-on, and it feels almost taboo to bring it up. I have several privileges, and even a working-class writer like me can struggle quite a lot for writing bandwidth — even almost quit. But many talented people can’t even try at all or don’t believe they can due to stress, work & exhaustion.

I love that the Pulitzer site is straight up like "Yeah, she won because she's so fearless that she quit her job over censorship," and WaPo is still like "Look! We won!" and just acting oblivious to how this makes them look.

My research into Nanny Morgan has been one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done. Ann Morgan's story highlights the importance of honouring historical legacies in folkloric narratives. She deserves to be remembered. nearlyknowledgeablehistory.blogspot.com/2022/08/nann... #Folklore #Witches

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I was a bit nervous going into HOUSE OF BONE AND RAIN because I admired THE DEVIL TAKES YOU HOME so much, but @gabino.bsky.social proved yet again that he always brings the good stuff: blood, sweat, brutality, tenderness, folklore, revenge...a beautiful book of carnage that I highly recommend.
