Never let the fascist bigots of the world convince you that you can’t make a difference. Don’t let them steal your light. We can ALL make a difference. Small acts of kindness and resistance, when done by large amounts of people, can and do change the world.

#Booksky: I need tips, guidance, and the like. Very shy AuDHD girl who needs a list of steps most likely to help me build my reputation as a horror book reviewer. Any resources, accounts, or the like you could point me to as learning tools??

What I did have the attention span for was the first season of Twin Peaks--a bucket list watch I've never been able to give the attention it deserves until now. Starting episode 8 now.... #twinpeaks #davidlynch #whokilledlaurapalmer

In an awful reading slump. I have a stack of books I know I'll love. But I have the attention span of soap right now. #Booksky #ReadingSlump

I've been on Twitter since 2009. With the goal of promoting the local comic book store & comic creators to improve the industry. A lot of connections happened there. A lot of sales for my store & other stores. Tonight, New Comic Book Day Eve posts are Blue Sky EXCLUSIVE. Let's see how it goes.

That's my AG 💙 thank you, @dananessel.bsky.social for choosing the only right option 💙

My students had a group prompt asking how their reader-response statements for Night of the Living Dead and The Walking Dead Vol. 1 changed after experiencing the last seven days... Concentration of power, aligning the wildfires to the zombie virus, gender roles, racial tensions: they ALL get it.

For anyone looking to replace scrolling on one social media site or another, I highly recommend getting some graphic novels from an online library like Libby. I'm reading Nimona right now and there are zero intrusive news stories or censorship scares...just saying

To the memory of the 844 people who died in Chicago in 1915 on a rainy day, I wrote FORGOTTEN SISTERS for you, so that we Chicagoans, we Americans, would not forget the deaths of people that occurred due to corporate mishandling and greed Thank you HWA & all ❤️ chireviewofbooks.com/2024/03/20/c...

The Stoker long list for Superior Achievement in a Novel is absolutely stacked this year. #HWA #HorrorWriters #HorrorReaders

WOW! You've got to watch all of this. A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.

Another little clarification, I never review something I personally didn't enjoy as I never want to piss on someone else's chip What's for me may not be for you, so just nice words from me

some buds act like it is so hard to love but it is so easy. you just do nothing. in the absence of all things, we just love. it is what we are built to do. just strip off everything else, all the baggage, and love is underneath

Plenty of male pros will tell you hanging out at the bar after a con and putting your phone # on your work is a necessary part of the business. No. Just no.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat knows what she’s talking about. Nazism should not be normalized.

When you're a chaos reader and pick based on feel, and the first sentence slaps that hard? I'd call that a small victory. Roxanne Gay for the win. #BadFeminist #ReadingisRevolution

-6 bookish people -10 horror fiction recs each -2 WHOLE HOURS And a whole lot of smiles, laughs, excitement, and community building. Thank you @margueriteturl2.bsky.social @thearcparty.bsky.social @igreggreene.bsky.social @spooniereads.bsky.social and Tiff for such a good time & all the viewers

Seeing @sadiehartmann.bsky.social and co talk @natcassidy.bsky.social When the Wolf Comes Home makes me remember I have happy things to look forward to: like the day my copy arrives, because I asked for the pre-order for Christmas. Feels particularly relevant based on the inspiration...

This is a great Chicago area independent press. Please help support their kickstarter for this anthology.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Frigid temperatures here in west MI sent classes at work to remote. As I was drafting the remote assignment components, I listed the array of events from the last seven days and my head spun. For myself. For my fellow Americans. For humanity.

I knew teaching a literary criticism course built around Night of the Living Dead and The Walking Dead Vol. 1 would be relevant this term, but good lord. Should have assigned Dead Snow instead. IYKYK #horror #weallsawit #film #popculture

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

Got word from my archival administration program advisor about some clinical work this term in audio/visual archiving with Hope College, and I'm stoked.

pay trans writers. publish trans writers. read trans writers.

"Attempting to impose definition or explanation on the vast body of David Lynch’s work is to miss the point: He doesn’t provide us with ciphers to unpick, messages to decode. Rather, he expresses something more visceral and fundamental through imagery"
