Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

They want to keep us afraid, and assume we cannot do math on how many polling places there are compared to ICE agents. They are trying to get us to simply not show up.

buy the bright sessions! raise money for immigrant legal defense!

We used to expect at least a bare minimum from our representatives. Now, there’s a multibillion dollar industry dedicated to always letting Republicans off the hook.

This is one of those songs I loved as an oldies-obsessed kid, and then, when I got older, got reeeeeal uncomfortable with the lyrics.

I really think folks don’t have any idea what we’re dealing with. We are living in a surveillance state. Rapid response networks across the country are telling people to get of Meta, full stop. Flock cameras are in most towns and cities now and track not just license plates but your actual face.

This is now without question the biggest politico-financial scandal in United States history. Teapot Dome was trivial in comparison.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Now that I’ve finally seen BUGONIA, count me among team Plemons Was Snubbed.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to wake up at 5 am and don 30 lbs of tactical gear you bought off amazon to sit in a chevy tahoe in the parking lot of the elementary school where you kidnapped a five year old kid to intimidate his teachers. good luck soldier

SNEAK PEEK: The fun thing about a short story collection is you get to pay homage to all the other short story authors who have influenced and delighted you. Hence, this chonker of a dedication page (which still managed to leave names out on accident). Have you preordered your copy yet? 👀🗝️🔑

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

This fekin creep, Alex Acosta, the former US attorney who negotiated Epstein's plea deal, now in the board of directors of Newsmax. 🤬

To be fair, World's Economy Held Hostage by Child Sex Trafficking Ring is much less important than Plan to Save Elephants Turns Deadly.

It’s definitely quite noticeable how the “alarmists” keep becoming more right while not becoming any more respected.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college The Problem of Evil The Poetry of John Milton Neurolinguistics Voice & Movement II: Animals Rapier & Dagger adjudication

The Republican Party’s largest donor was begging to party with Jeffery Epstein on his private island used for raping children. This won’t be the leading news today.

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

No, no, he just asked that so he’d know what day/night to AVOID going there!

This is truly one of those celebrity deaths that just … doesn’t seem possible.

Fascists are emotional little pissbabies and invariably start reacting in astrategic ways. They’ll cause an insane amount of damage, but they’ll also continue to fuel the backlash.

Impeach this woman, right TF now. She took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and arresting a journalist is per se impeachable conduct.

“Whether handling haunted pornography, simply admiring the lunar eclipse- the first in 50 years, topping the charts in Liverpool 1957, or knocking them back in a doctors office, I would follow @natcassidy.bsky.social anywhere. Not in a weird way.” @shortwavebooks.bsky.social MAY 5TH

It’s sincerely a dark horse favorite of mine—for either author’s body of work! I just earlier tonight finished reading a sequence that I think is an all-timer scare scene.

There's quite a lot going on, so it feels weird to be like HEY HEY LOOK AT ME, but maybe you like books, and like books by me, and want to see the cover to my next one, coming in August:

NEW YORK CITY EYES ON THIS

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

We're just a few weeks away from the start of Women in Horror Month! If you'd like to get involved, either as an author or an ally, please let me know! Comment below, DM me, or send me an email through my site. Don't self-reject! We need all the voices! 🖤🖤🖤

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

1st read of 2026: When the Wolf Comes Home by @natcassidy.bsky.social Excellent way to kick off the year. Pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the book I thought it'd be, but instead something far more inventive and fresh, while still ghoulish fun for the horror fans. Definitely recommend.

👀 Stephen King really liked @natcassidy.bsky.social's forthcoming collection, I KNOW A PLACE! "These stories are f*cking great. They rule. So read them." – Stephen King Incredibly grateful King even agreed to read the collection, but this? We couldn't have asked for a better reaction...

I read I Know A Place: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours by @natcassidy.bsky.social and absolutely loved it. Here is my review: roland19.wordpress.com/2026/01/26/i... If you love horror, you shouldn't miss this book when it comes out. whew. #horror #bookreview

When Stephen King blurbed WOLF, it felt like a dream come true. To see him say these words about I KNOW A PLACE feels like I must still be dreaming. After all, this is the guy who taught me how to write a short story, and what a collection could be. I'm just so mightily grateful. 🗝️

You know that old adage about how, when one person says it's raining and the other side says it isn't, it's the role of journalism to look out the window? The @nytimes.com is out there, every day, bravely leading the charge to reject that adage.

Massive congrats to all the Stoker prelimmers!! What an incredible year for horror! And also the genre!

please bear with me i have some nice stuff to promote today even though all i want to do is continue screaming about the country i apologize in advance

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

This absolute king.

sometimes the beatles' lyrics were so eerily ahead of their time

Some safety tips for the big storm! Be safe, everybody.

All you need to know is that these are the same people who've spent years telling you January 6th WAS a "peaceful protest."

Once upon a time, this might've been a career-ending response. But now we're living in an era where Republicans aren't held responsible for the objectively horrendous things they say.

It’s important to understand that on top of the domestic nightmare we’re living through, the reason we’ve also just lost all our global standing is ultimately not Trump, it’s the US being recognized as a country that institutionally allows a Trump to remain in power.

my Governor, Janet Mills, pointed out our Senator Susan Colins could get ICE out of our state with a phone call, but she chooses not to.
