Women in Horror Month has been getting too quiet for the past few years, and a group of us wants to change that! If you're a woman in horror and you'd like to be part of interviews, events, and the like, please comment below! And if you want to support WiHM, then please RT! Let's get the word out!

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

My Favorite F***ing Movie for February is posted! The film is Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), and the subject is everlasting love. I really put myself thru the wringer for this one; likes/shares/subscribes are very appreciated 💛 Read it: myfavoritefnmovie.substack.com/p/tell-me-no...

Who needs a pee tape! Remember Helsinki? And the day when he brought the Russians into the Oval alone & insisted on no notes? You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to understand how dark all of this is, how venal & hollow & easy to play he is

Zelenskyy. Is. The. Man.

If you’re a writer suffering from imposter syndrome, just remember that JD Vance exists.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Neptune, Mercury & Saturn: I’m still looking for you.

This Chloe thread. 🖤

ICYMI, my newest published short is a fantasy about a fishwoman sent to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her people's trading partners on dry land.

Man.

Here’s “The Most Poetic Thing” published in my new book “The Parachutist” published by Sundress Publications. sundress-publications.square.site.square.site/product/the-...

"After the funeral, my father sends me a one-minute timer, the small, plastic kind used in board games, only it’s not filled with fine, white sand but lumpy flecks of gray." Today at jmww, new flash fiction from Michelle Ross: jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2025/02/26/f...

@hiltzikm.bsky.social on how California made Ronald Reagan: “When Reagan launched his political career in the 1960s, the conservative movement was searching for a way to become relevant again.”

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her. She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

I didn't realize this magazine had changed its name (used to be Shirley) and is now on Bluesky. 💙

It has been a super long time since I’ve published flash fiction and I’m overjoyed to get to do so in @matchbooklitmag.bsky.social! My Ronnie James Dio story is up today (with a shoutout to @housleydave.bsky.social, who wrote the best Dio story ever) matchbooklitmag.com/mb/rossi/onl...

This is exceptional. Body horror + current events.

Another heartbreak Monday.

Roberta Flack, the revered singer behind soul classics including "Killing Me Softly With His Song," has died

"I'm not responsible for anyone else's feelings" Love @kimchinquee.bsky.social's work.

We’re currently open & looking for prose up to 2,500 words, poetry, flash, unclassifiable/hybrid work, & art including comics, collage, drawing, etc. under the big ol pointy goth/punk/anti-fascist umbrella.

Almost Famous by Claire W. Zhang maudlinhouse.net/almost-famous/

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Los Angeles friends! The BroadStage in Santa Monica is hiring a new Director of Development and some of my favorite people* are on the search team. *Full disclosure, I work with them 😀 www.creativeevolutions.com/openpositions

The Don’t Open Your Phone For Four Years Challenge

I know this workshop is wildly expensive. (I could never afford it!) But I'm offering two BIPOC scholarships and would love for my friends to apply and/or spread the word to BIPOC essayists who take care of others and write about it! xoxo ❤️ writer.org/event/caregi...

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

No kings, only Queens.

I sometimes think that people will just "hear about" my book. But I don't think that actually happens unless I'm actively getting them to hear about it. My book MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US comes out May 6. Will you help me get the word out by sharing this post? bookshop.org/p/books/magi...

“It didn’t even occur to me that there were women writers whom Austen had used as models—and whose books I could read, too.” @rebeccaromney.com on her quest to unearth Jane Austen’s influences.

If "Midsommar" was made in 1965 and featured in Vogue. Folk horror - but make it flowers. 🌸🌼🌺🏵️ Model: Jean Shrimpton Photo: Bert Stern #WyrdWednesday
