I finished reading 2 books in the last 2 weeks, which is more than I’ve read in the past 6 months. I hate that I’ve had no motivation to read. It’s not that the books are bad, it’s just general malaise that keeps me from enjoying anything. Hopefully this marks a turning point for me.

You can pry my em dashes—and my semicolons and parentheses for that matter—from my cold, dead hands.

Oops, thought I'd filled both 2025 issues of Weird Horror. I am 8k words shy in issue 11 (Fall). Instead of opening for a full month for 2 slots I am open today til Feb. 28, end of day. No reprints. 5k words max. 2-cents per word. Simul subs okay. Send to weirdhorrormag (at) gmail (dot) com

I just made a new pattern! I'm thinking of using it to make new compression gloves, wrist braces and artist gloves! It's a frog pattern! What do you think of it? Do you like it?

Everyone check out my book Jubilation Grove and Other Nightmares! My story “Alternate Realty” is based on a Zillow nightmare house outside Louisville. a.co/d/9P08QzK

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Again, the alt text is perfect

In other news, I discovered that brain feels better when body is treated better, maybe perchance because brain is part of body. Further research needed.

Damn it all to hell, Indiana. Quit embarrassing me.

My Nissan handles snow better than this. Trapped by a dusting of snow. Tragic.

When I want to give up on writing, I tell myself, no one is making you do this. It’s not your job. You can quit. And then I get all stubborn and start writing again. Because no one tells me what to do. Not even me. Fuck me, I won’t do what I tell me.

You ever get stuck with your shirt over your head when getting dressed? And in that blind moment of vulnerability, you ever think to yourself “this is it. This is how the monsters get me”?

Think I found a new cozy horror genre via a typo: Cottagevore.

I keep wondering why I’m depressed and I can’t sleep and then I see that I’m considered a threat to the American way of life because I have ADHD. Bitch about to be a threat.

Repost if you’re a “dire threat to the American people and [their] way of life.” 🙋🏽‍♀️

Did you know? American taxpayers would be saved $8 MILLION PER DAY if we simply canceled Elon Musk’s defense contracts.

As a woman, I have never been deprived of my dignity, safety, wellbeing or opportunities by a trans or nonbinary person. Can’t say the same for cis people.

I hate when I’m writing an alt text description for the cover of my book, the first name that auto correct tries to list as the author is John. No, friend, there is no one named John involved in my writing.

Check out my book Jubilation Grove and Other Nightmares! In the title story, Trevor finds out why it’s a bad idea to let a woman lure you into the woods. a.co/d/9P08QzK

Dear artists: Afraid of death? It’s coming anyway. Afraid of failure? We all fail. A lot. Sometimes spectacularly. Afraid of these fascists? There are more of us cheering you on. Don’t stop creating. Not now. Make art. Piss them off. Create. With anger. With hope. Keep going.

In college I got told to cite my sources after writing something like “the US was mired in WWII like a stegosaurus in a tar pit.” My professor thought it was plagiarism. Forgive me for injecting some whimsy into my paper.

I’m seeing a lot of people frame the threat to the 504 only in terms of affecting education and kids with IEPs. It affects EVERYONE. From curb cuts to access to government buildings to sign language interpreters in disasters to accessible medical facilities, it is a civil rights threat to ALL.

If you're in one of these states, please badger your AG. It's surprising how few constituent phone calls it takes for them to feel pressured. And this suit needs to die before it kills disabled people.

nobody makes Real Art anymore

“Prominent Moth” sounds like it belongs in a headline. “Prominent Moth Found in Compromising Position with Call Girl”

I just sent a message to the Indiana attorney general asking him to back out of the lawsuit. If your state is one of the 17 suing to get rid of protections for people with disabilities, this site has contact info for your attorney general. It also tells what states are suing and why this is bad.

Tonight, my brain conjured up for me a dream involving unnatural acts between a man and a chicken named Luke Death, who was the personification of death. And am I brave enough to set down that tale? And would any publisher ever buy it?

I may or may not have written the majority of my recent work this way.

I joined a penpal group online so let’s see how I am at making new friends through the art of letter writing!

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.

A journaling video came up on YouTube for me and it was like “document your life!” And I was like “why would I want to do that?” And that’s not the reaction I want to have to my life. I want to have fun, but it’s hard when you’re depressed and broke.
