Happy Mother's Day to all.

For all countries and all elections.

"Don't put in the paper that I was mad."

In terms of weird west fiction set in Australia, I’m only currently aware of there being one by Narelle M. Harris in @juliebozza.bsky.social’s Queer Weird West Tales anthology. Out of curiosity, is anyone aware of others?

Fuck yeah.

I. Cannot. Wait.

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

Me too! Mu first band was called Near Dark after this movie. Core stuff.

industry built on unpunished mass-scale theft continues to perform mass scale theft

Last year, it only took five of us showing up and making public comment at a city council meeting to get the council to restore library funding that the mayor’s office had cut. Just a few people showing up can make a huge difference.

Hobartians! If you're heading to the book fair, be quick. I've sold out of Recall paperbacks, only got 2 copies of Sallow Bend left and down to my last half dozen Blood Covenant. Loads of all three Tales From The Gulp, though. And lots of other authors for you to discover. Salamanca Arts Centre!

cancer is best removed by cutting it out and following that up with strong treatments to ensure it's been completely wiped out and will never return

hot take: fuck this but after reading the details of the story, this is not primarily a story about corporate greed, it is primarily a story about how the chronic underfunding and understaffing of public utilities is a tool for enabling corporate greed

Awwww fuck.

Every time I say this I get put on another fake bashing Democrats list. I've voted for the Democratic Party all of my adult life, but I'm sick of them having control and wasting it. It's not anyone's "turn" to run. It's not good enough to left them act and then sit back to negotiate. It's just not.

Bring your mum to Hobart today and buy her a signed book or five for Mother's Day. So many great authors here at the Book Fair in Salamanca Arts Centre. And it's Sunday so parking is easy. Come and say hi!

If you are a mother - well done. Fucking ridiculously hard job. If you wish you could be a mother, wish you could still have a mother or you live without one for any reason - I see you.

Bro about to do a Slaughter

Happy Mother's Day to all.

Fascists succeed in general because they are willing to take stuff, break rules, get violent, while most of their opponents are not Fascists lose, in general, because they pick (at least) one fight too many with someone they didn't expect to fight back

Bluesky is absolutely the best place right now for me as an author. I wish more publishers, editors, etc. (and everyone else for that matter) would quit the nazi bar that's Twitter and come here.

🔥🔥🔥

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.

The e-book of the short story "Locke Lamora and the Bottled Serpent," originally published by @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social , then published by Conversation Tree Press as a limited edition, is now out on Kindle and Kobo! Amazon US: www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZYBK64S Kobo: www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/...

And he's absolutely exploited the shit out of thousands of people every day since to continue hoarding wealth.

Can we PLEASE fire Wes Streeting, and I don't just mean from his job, I mean into the sun PBs are literally LIFE SAVING drugs for trans kids. I remember feeling so uncomfortable when I went through puberty and had no idea why. Suicides have doubled in trans kids due to their ban

Trump unveiling a gold statue of himself while the people he's supposed to represent can't afford food and petrol is peak dictator bullshit. America needs regime change.

Friends, let's talk books!

I'm so excited to have another story out with the awesome Pseudopod. Thanks all!

You absolutely cannot earn a billion dollars. You extort, steal, exploit a billion dollars.

these are all actual headlines from the washington post. you can literally track the rightwing ideological shift over time towards supporting billionaires & transphobia.

Twenty people

Holy shit.

One for a pre-emptive block, friends.

If you're in Hobart today or tomorrow, well, so am I! Come and see me and all the authors at the Book Fair on level 1 at the Salamanca Arts Centre. Get signed books. You deserve it.

Got a similarly simple solution to the Transgender issue. Just let people transition and be fucking normal about it and mind yer own beeswax

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

New t-shirt. (Available in my Teepublic store if you want one.)

First album I owned: Grease soundtrack, as a birthday present. First album I bought for myself: Regatta de Blanc by The Police. First single I bought myself: New Orleans by Ian Gillan (still a fucking banger, just by the way).

What fuck, England 😞
