A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

I'm definitely not the first person to beg, "can we please have an entire movie about the Choctaw Vampire Hunters?"

for real like ir literally has war in the title. that famously apolitical thing. war.

Are you READY for some creepy dark fantasy from Ashe Olivier Deng (@ashesandmochi.bsky.social) featuring dead gods, ugly magic, and of course, (witchy) messed up deer??? OF COURSE YOU ARE. 👀🦌 #TheDeerIsMessedUP www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer...

Was thinking a lot about these guys last weekend after seeing Sinners for a second time. The more you think about the historical context around their appearance, the more important it becomes. They're not there as a throwaway cameo. There are layers to Coogler's choices here.

I’m really excited for this! You should be too! A freaky deer is one of my favorite horror tropes.

I haven't yelled about this yet today. Do you, like me, enjoy when you're reading a horror story and The Deer Is Messed Up? Do you want a whole book of such tales? Well, I'm editing one and you can help! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer...

CAN YOU HELP? I'm organizing a wee guerilla marketing campaign for my debut novella, and I'm looking for folks who'd be willing to hang one (1) flyer anywhere with decent foot traffic where they live. I'll mail them anywhere in the world so you don't have to bother printing them yourself. DM me!

Every day I see more AI bullshit news and it reaffirms my commitment to making things that are real and valuable and true. Emotionally true, mind you. The realer-than-reality truth of monsters. But we need some goddamn authenticity now more than ever. So that's my mission.

going out on a limb to ask could it perhaps be the literal passage of time

I've been staying with my long-distance partner this week and doing my writing and editing as he works from home and I must say there is a strange intimacy in witnessing someone you're close to using their customer service voice.

Surely you all want that!! Let's go!!!!

IT'S WEDNESDAY, MY DEERS! 🦌 We have a teaser trailer for @alexwoodroe.com 's messed up fairy tail—er, tale—about a foolish man who tries to capture a fae bride. SHE IS DISPLEASED WITH THIS. He's doe-ing to rue the day he tried this shit... 😈 #TheDeerIsMessedUP www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer...

This article is a disgrace to LIS and the author should be ashamed of themself. Humiliating work here. Just a stream of whitewashing and obfuscating.

The Papal Conclave is meeting to select the next pope and I'd like to point out that the a bunch of people wearing black and red robes and chanting after they eat the body of Christ is okay if you're Catholic but somehow I'm a "SATANIC LESBIAN CANNIBAL WITCH" if I do it.

Good morning hi would you like to know the BRAVE NEW WEIRD TABLE OF CONTENTS? tenebrouspress.com/blog/2025/5/...

Oh man oh MAN this has never occurred to me but now I want one too 👀

Morning crew! Check out my free read about selling sex toys in a...unique home sales environment!!!

When I hear that someone I dislike has died, I usually say, "Never again will he mock my power vest." Try it, it's very relaxing.

My son sent me this and now I can't breathe.

Hello! @mstevensonbooks.bsky.social and I are looking for a few people to slush (see below) for us for our upcoming antho If interested email us with a short bio including pubs if any, any relevant experience, what genres of short story you read About the antho: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ent...

God exactly. The purpose of writing papers is FOR YOU TO THINK SOMETHING THROUGH, not because a prof has a deficit in their life that needs to be filled by reading 5-7 pages of mediocre bullshit. The bulk of things I recall from undergrad are things I wrote papers about.

The DEI panic imo is the realization that even with every gate closed marginalized people create fantastic art. They've been forced to work on skill and not rely on nepotism/family money. The system is supposed to make it impossible and yet? Ppl still blow through it. Of course they're scared.

I like pluralizing "spouse" as not "spouses" but "spice" and perhaps this is a holdover from my (not good) marriage but dammit I still think it's cute.

Here at Die Laughing Mag, we know the job market bites right now. You'll want to hop on this opportunity before it flies away!

So my friend @probablyharmless.bsky.social is editing and hrnrnrn I may need to revisit a story.
