Republicans 2021-2024: It's tyranny to politicize the process of law by charging rival public officials with crimes! Republicans 2025 onward: WE'RE GONNA CHARGE ALL THOSE RIVAL PUBLIC OFFICIALS WITH CRIMES!

Apparently, a whole lotta government employees missed the memo informing them that collaborating with fascism makes you a Fascist, and that "We were just following orders" didn't cut it at the Nuremberg Trials.

#24 The Forever Bridge's title refers to Vergeharrow: A vast bridge-city which spans a titanic chasm. Torn through the earth by a wizard war, this Verge separates kingdoms who've since built that bridge. #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #WIP

#23 Because I tend to write in conversational style, I frequently employ em-dashes, semi-colons, and tangental-clause commas. It's a habit I've mitigated over the years, but those are still valid grammatical choices which considerably predate AI. #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #WIP

#22 Though Darianna doesn't fancy herself a scribe, The Forever Bridge is a story she's relating to an audience - one she sometimes makes asides to address directly. #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #WIP

#21 Seasoned author advice: Always keep your audience engaged. Tell stories only you can tell. There's always SOMEONE who wants to hear those stories, and someone probably NEEDS to hear them. Though writing is solitary, you are not alone. #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #WIP

Disney has made its fortune selling us myths of heroes who fight the good fight and stand up for the right thing while everyone else falls in line. Their actions betray the myths they sell us. Also, they treat the creators of those myths like dogshit. Fuck 'em.

"...as a permanent symbol of the importance of free expression and open discourse, and of the evil of political violence. And if you said anything we don't like about Kirk, we will dox the fuck out of you, have you and everyone who knows you fired, and send armed goons to annihilate you."

Just made my Goodreads reading goal of 65 books finished this year. www.goodreads.com/readingchall...

I'm sure Roberts has another 17th-century British witch-hunter he can quote to justify overturning his own Court's ruling.

So now, "Manfluencers" are telling boys to get EXTRA stinky in order to... um, attract girls? Bro, talk to some WOMEN about this shit, not to guys who profit from your failures. And actually LISTEN to what women tell you. 'Cause bro, this is seriously stupid. www.parents.com/why-some-tee...

@coyotewallace.bsky.social has been doing a devastating overview of the Appalachian coal wars, the human cost of defying capitalist fascism, and the ways in which that region got co-opted into Red State-ism despite a deeply leftist history. Vital reading, especially right now. medium.com/@kidether

#18 In The Forever Bridge, Dari's father and younger brother are poisoned by a rival for her mother's hand. Nicknamed Gutless by Darianna, he murders his way into her household and her father's wealth. When Dari finds out, things go... poorly. #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #WIP

Has anyone else noticed this price hike? Seems to me that fuel companies are taking advantage of the distraction, and mainstream media is letting them do it.

This reads like someone trained a Temu chatbot on Christian romance, romantasy fanfic, and the worst lit.RPG they could find.

Goddamn, Mississippi.

Thanks again, @erynmccee.bsky.social! My collection Breaking the Devil's Bread is coming next month(?) from @nightmarepress.bsky.social. My novel Red Shoes and my collection Valhalla with a Twist of Lethe are available from booksellers in digital and hardcopy editions. #HorrorWritersChat

The #WIP mentioned in previous questions was inspired by how appalled I am at "Manosphere" social media, AI-generated "lovers," "tradwife" influencers, the ability to dox, stalk and erase people, and the frightening ways in which "mind viruses" transform people we thought we knew. #HorrorWritersChat

Depends on the story. For the most part, however, I favor primordial nature over modern tech. In three of my #WIPs, a house rearranges itself into an ever-expanding maze; a flying pleasure-barge hosts bizarre stories; and a biotech roofie "revises" the drinker's personality. #HorrorWritersChat

Hola, y'all! I'm Satyr, I write stuff, I've been writing stuff professionally since 1989, but I could not write professionally at all without computers, spellcheck programs, editing functions, and icon-based interface tech because I am dyslexic as fuck. #HorrorWritersChat

In Not the Final Girl, media technology provides the key to the story, its metaphysics, and the atrocities from which that tale originates. In "Up On the Rooftop," a biotech roofie lets incels temporarily "reprogram" women into custom-designed "girlfriends." #horrorwriterschat

Laura Anne is good people. She's a wonderful author, a fantastic editor, and a good friend. Cas-Cas is a magnificent kittyhead, and we are deeply fond of them both. They could both use help. Any help is welcome. Thanks!

Has she looked in a fucking mirror? --- To be clear: I'm not saying SHE was "a DEI hire." I'm saying this whole "DEI hire" thing is barely veiled code for "fire everyone who's not a cis het white bro."

A journalistic reputation that took 150 years to build took Bezos ten months to obliterate.

#15 Darianna is a wanderer by trade and inclination. She's en route to the Guildrealms when she finds a relatively comfortable spot on The Forever Bridge. She won't be staying, though; that Bridge is a metaphor for her life as a whole. #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #WIP

This is not behavior worthy of men with law-enforcement powers. These are the antics of especially vicious adolescent boys. Their victims were guests in our country, citizens of a valued ally and trade partner who were here to teach Americans precious job skills. Yank their badges and lock them up.

Imagine how much respect and empathy Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, and MAGA as a whole would be displaying now if that same shooter's victim had been Rachel Maddow instead.

#14 Too many favorites to list. Recent favorites include: American Mystic - @coyotewallace.bsky.social Never Say You Can't Survive - @charliejane.bsky.social Play of Shadows - @decastell.bsky.social After the Forest - @kellinthewoods.bsky.social #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #WIP

GOP motto: if you can’t win fair, rig the map. Ohio, Florida, Missouri, NC, Indiana, Utah—the cheating tour. But Dems & grassroots coalitions are flipping the script with lawsuits, protests & people power. Every share is a strike against rigged maps! www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/we-wont-be...

#13 Snippets from The Forever Bridge (left) and a different project, I Come to You as Thunder (right). Enjoy! #FantasyIndiesSeptember #booksky #writesky #amwriting #WIP

I wonder how many fights erupted yesterday, how many queer and/or trans people got kicked out of their families or friends-groups, how many people were beaten by relatives or strangers because right-wing media yesterday blamed the wrong folks for Kirk's murder. I just know it was more than zero.

Not a tranz. Not a queerz. Not an immigrant. Not dark-skinned. Not a gang member. Not a libtard. Not an Antifaz. Just yet another right-wing cop's white kid with high-powered anger issues and a hard-on for social media lolz.

The #WSJ put lives at risk with reckless, shoddy, MAGA-happy "infotainment" masquerading as journalism. We already knew their credibility was dogshit. Now its radioactive dogshit with a potential body count. Here's where to complain. No threats, please.

You may be cool, but you will never be Keanu Reeves In Black With a Snowy Owl cool.

This made me happy. therpggazette.wordpress.com/2025/09/11/s...

Wow - look at that... um, left-wing scary hippie dark-skinned immigrant Muslim Antifa trans person...? Or maybe it's just yet another disgruntled rightie-whitie "patriot" with high-powered anger issues. abcnews.go.com/US/charlie-k...
