The more people and companies push this sort of thing, the more I opt out of modernity. I create with the whole organism that I'm made of, with mind, sensations, thoughts, moods, and a vast history of lived experience. Your little apps can't do anything like that. Into the trash with you.

anyone know of any new trans fiction* anthologies that I should pick up? it's almost that time of year where my ADHD monkey relents and allows me to read books. :) *short stories, flash fiction, poems. yes, my tastes lean towards horror, but open to anything.

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

submitted 1 day ago • 275 comments

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

AG Ellison staying at the No Kings rally despite being on the assassin’s hit list to tell the crowd to not be stopped, to keep marching is exactly what I needed in this moment.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

it is really weird that publishing decided that instead of having a marketing budget, writers should just become cult leaders

I've been threatening for a while to start a column on collections of weird fiction, and so: Profane Illuminations, a quarterly series where I'll look at a few in tandem and see what threads I can draw out about their stories and the genre at large. Quick intro here, first full entry next week.

"Disquieting and very strong" is coincidentally what all my lovers say.

I do love buying books directly from the publisher by writers whom I like and admire. @clashbooks.bsky.social @horrorsong.blog @michaelcisco.bsky.social @kkoja.bsky.social

Young man trying to focus on making potions in his university's apothecary labs but one of the potions masters keeps breathing down his neck and he's sort of stern but very hot and it keeps making him nervous enough to make all these mistakes and make himself look like an idiot.

Do you want people to stfu with their jokes and fight fascism? Can we fight tyranny through mime? I saw Marcel Marceau perform in the 90s and was so furious when he didn't address systemic racism that I charged the stage but was held back by a gust of wind that I kept walking against comically
