The sea shanty is a different kettle of fish. Don't tell Mike Ennenbach, but my first thought when he suggested shanties was "is that actually poetry?" but of course it is. So, indulge with us, as supported by @candacenola.bsky.social . candacenola.substack.com/p/06122026-p...

Sharing the Go Fund Me due to a few more requests to do so. All shares, donations, and encouraging words have been incredibly appreciated by myself and my family. Learning to ask for help is never easy, but needing help of this magnitude has been a deeply humbling experience. gofund.me/c1167a0f9

Missed the win, but INCREDIBLY proud of the weekend I’ve had here at Stoker. Loving to see my friends that live 1000s of miles away, educating, sharing thoughts, being on the same panels as a lot of my heroes, pitching new projects and selling loads of books. You’re always a winner Stoker! 💋

Happy Pride, loves! #NightTideMag wouldn’t be complete, deep diving or analytically strong without the voices from the incredible LGBTQIA+ horror creatives in our community. This month and every one to follow, we see, we love you and we stand with you. 🖤💋🖤💋🖤💋

Remember that #Pride is important because someone out there believes the world would be better without them in it all because of who they are. Always remember you are worthy and you are loved. Not just during Pride Month, but every minute of every day. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #LGBTQ #LoveisLove #YouAreLoved
