Yikes

Just noticed that on RT I’m one of only two Black critics who has seen and reviewed HIGHEST 2 LOWEST.

10/10 the texture is ALWAYS bad in an AI image. It's all too smooth, too right-angled, too soothing, trying to seduce you and sedate you at once.

Starting this summer @erykpruitt.bsky.social brings his DIRTBAGS series to @rhppress.bsky.social . Check out the trailer here: bit.ly/4jKY3nL Stay tuned!

Anyways.... Albertans, if you want to fill in an extremely leading survey that the government wants to use to ban books that hurt their feelings, that would be great. It has freeform boxes, which are always funnnnnn! 😈 #abed #abhealth #abpoli #ableg #BookBanning your.alberta.ca/school-libra...

Crime fiction friends: give me your favorite mystery/suspense short story OR piece of criticism about the genre. Any time frame.

Oh I’d forgotten about North Country! Such a great story.

Well, this is very cool. My Anthony Award-nominated story, “Green and California Bound,” is now available as an audio story! It just dropped yesterday and Rabia Chaudry is so good. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Giddy to see EL DORADO DRIVE in the NYT Summer Book Preview with so many of my own favorites, including @blacktopkid.bsky.social @danielkraus.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/b...

We're not only targeted by war and occupation we're being silenced everywhere. Bluesky shut down our account and threatened to remove any new ones we create. They also shut down previous accounts, falsely claiming they were spam or fake. We appealed their decision, but no one responded

#RapeCulture. Defund police.

This is so incredibly infuriating! Why are we talking about anything that isn’t Republican cutting food stamps for CHILDREN!!!!!!

Friends I know I'm annoying all of you but please help sharing, messaging, or emailing the bsky moderation team. I feel like I'm yelling at a cloud 🥲

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care. This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

This essay convinced me to watch the movie, which I loved

When we add to this the Cato Institute report showing how many migrants sent to El Salvador had in fact entered the country legally, THIS is the top story of the night. The U.S. is sending people to horrors in foreign prisons. People who have had no due process. An actual nightmare.

This is catastrophe.

Everybody who claims I don’t like anything better be reskeeting this 😂

Breaking character for a moment. Rare, but I’m a stutterer & I feel I should remind people - a stutter is not a sign of mental impairment or decline. Inability to control the stutter often comes from fatigue. It can also come from lack of clarity in thought. They are distinct things. - JS

well this is just really lovely

The news: Nottoway plantation burned down. Me:

Sharing because i've been an editor at a few publications and haven't seen this recent incident being talked about in my circles at all...

My latest for @theappeal.org: James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history. But after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free. “They took my life away for nothing,” Carver said.

So they kidnapped him.

A book club, but instead of reading a book, we all listen to Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” and then present our theories as to why Billie Joe jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge.
