If the jackboot fits.

"This book is a T4T love letter to the living cosmos, to Jewish mystics who get a little slutty with it, to anarchists who make their every day-to-day choices as if the healed world is already here, to people whose gender identities are just on the verge of disintegrating."

Another blurb, baby! JACKAL by @iameeadams is one of the novels I went to for inspiration for MORSEL (April 2026, @tornightfire). Adams has a knack for tying social horror and folklore together that I find deeply impressive. It's extremely cool that she liked MORSEL.

Cassandra is at home in her sweatpants a spoon in a gallon of ice cream, on month 10 of working retail after having given up soothsaying, yelling, “This is what and when you START paying attention?”

Craving football horror, but unsure about seeing HIM after the not-so-great reviews? Maybe check out my novel THE DEER KINGS: bookshop.org/p/books/the-... (Kids on bikes + football folk horror)

Really, my friends, the responsibilities are great and very difficult for me. I was just a student, and now I bear the responsibility of saving my family. Your support makes me stronger. Your support is everything to me.

i really hope it sticks now for any lost young buckaroos who find something interesting about a libertarian trot or similar way: these people have been fakin it the whole time. none of them actually care about free speech. they are either: 1 embarrassed conservatives or 2 dummies

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

It's pretty wild for the authors who inspired your book to not just read it but like it. It's even wilder when that author's own work has served as a constant inspiration for close to ten years. I first read The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by @margaret.bsky.social the year after my undergrad.

Take a chilling hike into the paranoia inducing, folkloric mystery of Gemma Fairclough's THE RETREAT, the latest book in @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social Northern Weird Project! Thanks to Wild Hunt Books for the ARC! Full review below 🧘‍♀️ fanfiaddict.com/review-the-r...

reporter whose whole Thing is covering protests: no it’s not, it’s a very basic safety recommendation as we see an increase in nonprofits/501c3s using signups to add people to email lists which can easily be subpoenaed or seized by the state. this take scans as pretty manipulative tbh

opsec abysmal

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

I’m not a huge fan of how this drawing turned out but it seems people I show it to dig it. I figured I may as well post it here. [Digital illustration, Procreate App, 2020] #art #digitalart #artistsonbluesky #whattagsdoievenuseonthissite

Aaaaaanyhoo here's the archived National Institute of Justice research article about RW extremists being responsible for 84% of politically motivated murders since its disappeared while being "reviewed" in accordance with EO Whateverthefuck ✨️ archive.is/1t1rm

Please help Adham and his family 💜 They're displaced and urgently need our support

*snort* Do you know how many murders cops solve? Less than half, and that’s being generous and counting “arrested somebody” as “solved.” This isn’t weird, it’s dead normal.

The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things: 1. Cops are bad at their jobs 2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Anyway, my overdraft is way more interesting than that man. In that it looms ever closer ko-fi.com/weredawgz

The history of America has been forged by political violence, and contrary to the narrative being built on the news at this moment Most of that violence was at the hand of conservative white men against minorities and women throughout our history. Slavery was violence Jim Crow was violence Etc

hey do you remember how a church full of children was shot up two weeks ago? like two weeks to the day, is when that happened? But this is the one that marks the "tipping into violence". Ok!

the united states did not consider murdered asian americans in 2020 as political violence

This is 100 correct. Modern civil conflict looks nothing like what people are thinking it does. We are already in one and have been for a long time.

A second drone strike has occurred targeting another boat in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Not only is the Israeli military intentionally committing genocide on a mass scale against Palestinians in Gaza, it intends to carry out violence targeting everyone who expresses solidarity with Palestinians.

Happy release day to Where the Soul goes by @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social, published by @nwreader.bsky.social! So honored to have been its editor. It’s fantastic. Grab now where books are sold, it’s so good!! And there is a launch party (Tues) on YouTube at 8p EST. #horror #books #foodish

"I just think it'll be so boring if people aren't allowed to write experiences different from their own 🥺" Oh so you're a bad writer. You're literally just bad at writing. That's what you're saying? If you can't make characters compelling... you are not good at writing. That's like the whole thing.

If you’re distressed watching the transphobic nightmare unfold, a great way to support trans people is to become a penpal to an imprisoned trans person. @powerblossoms.bsky.social, @arcgenderjustice.bsky.social, @blackandpinkorg.bsky.social, @massamp1312.bsky.social, @tpride.bsky.social

Insurrections occur in waves; the unrest in Indonesia has spread to Nepal. Whatever happens next, this revolt should give pause to politicians and police who imagine that they can pillage and terrorize with impunity. Today, money may insulate you from the consequences of your actions; but tomorrow?

Coffin Moon is out today. Thanks to everyone that's reviewed the book, preordered it, told their friends about it. We had a sold out event at Hollywood Theatre last night, and Broadway Books sold every single copy of Coffin Moon they'd brought. I'm so lucky. Thank you all.

If you’re the sort of person that recognizes most flavors of Christianity are a death cult, you will also love this novel. Two words: corpse juice. And that’s just the beginning. An incredibly unnerving body horror with a suffocating plot. This is a story full of malice, disdain, and dread. 📚🩸

nintendo claiming billions in lost sales to piracy is baby bitch shit and authors doing the same for things like libgen or the internet archive are just as pathetic to me. get mad at your publisher not paying you enough for the sales you DO make.

maybe it's the privilege of doing well enough in my field that i don't feel threatened by theoretical lost sales to piracy but anyone who'd steal a work was either a) never gonna pay for it in the first place or b) gonna pay for it when they were able to later c) has no option to pay for it

anthropic scraping libgen is a billion dollar industry taking advantage of a public good for personal gain. if some dipshit puts an entire library book through a copier and sells printouts, it is the dipshit you get mad at. not the library for giving him the book.

It's important to keep up with the #StopCopCity RICO case. The prosecution is terrorizing these defendants in order to enable police departments to preserve their stranglehold on public funds at taxpayers' expense. This is a classic example of judicial persecution. Background: crimethinc.com/Ayla

Slashers aren't usually my flavor of writing or reading but this episode has definitely got me interested!

this week's post (which is free) is about coping with the end of movements and moments, using poetry by kenneth rexroth margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-hands-...

Always remember: pay enough attention to what's happening in the world so that you can get scared. Only the scared can be brave, and everything is better when you're brave.

One of the useful things about having a brain fully cooked by trauma is that by the time I get my 1st pass pages I've forgotten writing the majority of the book. Achieving objectivity? A breeze! Emotional attachment to sentence structure? Not even a little!
