Mark Jaskowski's Beneath the Swimming Pools, the Teeth! is out today! Shit rips. Body horror weirdness wrapped in a 'what happened last night' mystery involving desperate folks doing low-level crimes. Get it from Weirdpunk or wherever. www.weirdpunkbooks.com

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Mapping the Far Right Groups Targeting LGBTIQ Events During Pride Month

This book is fucking awesome and weird. You should read it.

Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues are antifa and acab. Never forget.

“When I found out what I was doing at my company for over a decade, I was furious and fired myself immediately.”

Oh, I’m sorry. Did your rational and logical economic system not account for what if two terminally online men had a falling out?

Take a break from the Trump and Elon drama to support a queer horror writer. While billionaires fight online, many of us are struggling to make ends meet during #Pride month. My shop link is in my bio. Also check out: @itsviviactually.bsky.social @ericraglin1992.bsky.social @sammytotep.bsky.social 👇🏽

Jonathan Joss's murder & the media's erasure of the anti-queer, racist violence that preceded it reminds me of what @marisakabas.bsky.social wrote about Nex Benedict's death & the media's erasure of the anti-queer violence that caused it. www.thehandbasket.co/p/nex-benedi...

So close! This shit rules. Get it. You want it. I'm in it.

In honor of pride month, I think it's imperative that all queers know our history. If you haven't already, please learn about what happened at Stonehenge.

A view from the office.

Here at Utepils for their pride event. If you're around Mpls, stop by for the best beer in town or a thc drink or one of the many delicious n/a options. There's gonna be a dj. It's gorgeous outside. Also red rocket pizza is here, legit the best kept secret for pizza in the Twin Cities. Come say hi!

Stories are important because they can give us hope, help us feel less alone, teach us empathy, stretch our understanding of the world, and impart to us why it's awesome to fuck a ghoul.

"I never wanted to be a helpful lesbian but sadly that is the role this world has forced me into," I grumble as I learn to do basic landscaping.

I'm tired.

Weirdpunk over here like a local band promising "big things coming" but also yes, big things coming! Got a new book and a new zine up for preorder! Check all the info out and give 'em an order!

We need more champions of the short story.

Baffled by the number of writer friends who have never read Geek Love. Y'all fucking up. Who out here who loves it/Katherine Dunn?

He's right behind me, isn't he? At OddMart with a bunch of horror writers until 5! Come hang out!

the deportations are not final. the regime and security forces fuck up constantly. escape and survival are not just possible but probable. this nightmare engine can be fought and is being fought. don't forget.

THE ORGANIZATION IS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU, by @charleneelsby.bsky.social I knew from the title/cover combo that this would be my shit, but I wasn’t prepared for how *extremely* my shit it would be. The blurb describes the book as “bureaucratic horror satire,” & that is incredibly apt. It's awesome.

Every single day we gradually forget what really matters most.

Arizona Ice Tea Sour Fruit Snacks are the fucking shit. I could eat a box of these.

Day of the Read is Sunday (the 25th)! Come down to OddMart from noon-5! A grip of horror writers and publishers will be selling their books and hanging out. We'd love to chat! Also a great opportunity to check OddMart out, one of the best spots in Mpls!
