Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Disagree with a lot of this. In particular, I dug the dissonance of Your Filthy Little Mouth. Totally agree with the reviewer’s take on “Just Like Paradise”, though. Possibly the greatest pop-rock song of all time. www.loudersound.com/reviews/davi...

I know someone who works at the Peoria Ag Lab. They're scrambling to reorganize and absorb the workload from vacated positions, but it's next to impossible, especially if there's another round of layoffs. This is the lab where penicillin was first mass produced. They do critical work for us all.

With respect — some of us can’t nuke *any* previous social media until certain things have resolved. (And not just me). www.reuters.com/technology/n...

I celebrate Streets of Fire. You celebrate Amityville Turkey Day. One of us is wrong… 🤔

Honored to be a guest at AuthorCon V, thanks to @briankeene.bsky.social. I’ll be joining a deadly lineup of contemporary horror writers at this Scares That Care charity event—where #horror gives back. Every year, they raise enough to donate $10,000 each to three families in need. Can’t wait!

The slabbed Death of Wolverine mentioned in this morning's weekly newsletter is now gone, as is the slabbed Superman issue 199 signed by Jim Shooter. But the signed Clive Barker and signed Joe Hill (also mentioned in this morning's newsletter) are still here.

Hey, thanks for the follow AI creator. I'm gonna go ahead and immediately block you because fuck AI, but wanted to say thanks for the handy dandy 'AI Starter Pack' that you helpfully posted and pinned, which makes it easier for me to block all of those motherfuckers, too. Blessed be! <3

Shake things up with KING OF THE BASTARDS from @briankeene.bsky.social and Steven Shrewsbury, released by @apexmag.bsky.social. Step into a brutal world of dark magic and demons and leave the modern world behind. It's another excellent quick read in this bundle: storybundle.com/horror
