Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.

Since the post I reblogged got deleted. This is the crap I will be avoiding.

Oof

After a "fun" visit to the immediate care for a slew of tests and with the bills beginning to trickle in, I need some help with the financial side of my move this weekend because, honestly, I don't know what else to do. Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/ezraarndtwri... #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #booksky

Here’s some Laura Makabresku art to make your Wednesday a little better.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

My state has given me so many reasons to be proud in recent memory.

I'm always game.

Measles can literally erase lots of your other immunities, so if you get measles thanks to not being vaccinated, congratulations, you can proudly be freshly unvaccinated for everything else, too.

@manylittlewords.bsky.social 👀👀👀 gotta remember to ask you about this at StC. Glad to see you’ll be back.

Ok maybe this could be fun and motivate me to write again. 🌈 📝 ♠️ ✍🏼 1 like = 1 random line from Aromantic Frankenstein (WIP) or any of my published ace horrors/fantasies! Inspired by @mcmanlypants.bsky.social inspired by @mimulus.bsky.social! Trendsetters. ✨

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO

Coping the only way I know how.

Winter storm bearing down on us, let's think cozy, cozy, cozy

Magic Legends with Disabilities Thread It's disability month, let's dive into Magic characters with disabilities. I'm keeping the definition fairly broad here, but see notes in the next post. Please note I'm only looking at canon Magic IP Legends.

I’m doing a reading challenge for myself. At least one short story, poem, article/essay a day. Doing well for the most part. I have a million anthologies to read. Today’s anthology is All Who Wander Are Lost by @manylittlewords.bsky.social and story 1 has me absolutely hooked!

I'm always baffled by the "I'll ONLY read old fantasy" crowd. You know there are LIVING authors doing really cool stuff, right? Like, LOTS of them? And we could get MORE if more people bought their stuff?

@pipsterb.bsky.social just read Achromatica and love it 😍

@chelseapumpkins.bsky.social Toxic Shock was amazing and I want more of it 😩

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write." A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption. B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

I’m with her.

#horrorwriterschat I am a lupine horror! Jk, Christine who writes supernatural horror. I would be scared to give up my creative self 💜💜 or the ambitious part of me that’s gotten me this far.

So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀 Venmo: probablyharmless PayPal: theohillwriter at gmail

Soooo ready for #scaresthatcare #authorconVI Let’s #fightrealmonsters

Scares That Care has TWO charity events in early 2026 -- our first Women's Writing Symposium and our 6th annual AuthorCon. For more information on either event, visit the charity's website: scaresthatcare.org

Beyond thrilled to announce being included in this. All proceeds will be donated to Scares That Care. Readers attending AuthorCon VI will have a chance to snag signatures from many of the participating authors, including *eep!* ME!

We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

There are all kinds of stories to be found inside of BOREAL: An Anthology of Taiga Horror. Browse the story types here and pick up a copy for yourself if you love being haunted by the dark, cold woods. 1/2

A friend of mine is in prison awaiting trial and a comment she made that made me sad is how many people there are in jail with her that were homeless who got thrown in there after shoplifting multiple times for necessities like tampons and toothbrushes.

Just started Boreal for my daily short story reads. Love the first story by @emroy.bsky.social

HORROR SUBMISSIONS OPEN 🔥 An anthology to honour the creator of #HorrorWritersChat, Matt aka MG Mason, is in the works. Theme: CAMPFIRE HORROR FOR ADULTS Deadline: December 31st, 2025 See attached FAQ for details --- Please direct questions about this anthology to @thatwilliambeck.bsky.social

Specifically, Thorn, who is my only redemption thus far. He must confront his father, and the corruption in his heart, nearly killing his own siblings in the process. #horrorwriterschat

Having trouble with this, but I expect to be hyper aware as I’m writing after this. I haven’t focused on worked consciously into a story, themes of regret yet. #horrorwriterschat

Christine, I write supernatural horror, and I enjoy stories using those elements, but haven’t explored either much myself. I maybe have one character of many who qualifies as redeemable #horrorwriterschat

Bright orange frog species discovered in Brazil Researchers have discovered a new species of frog, the bright orange pumpkin toadlet, Brachycephalus lulai, in the Serra do Quiriri mountain range in Brazil, according to a study in PLOS One. www.sciencealert.com/new-species-...

Have read a bit of fun lately. Latest reads were a short story, and a novella that really fit the season . Go check out the authors and their work :) @splatterzaddy.bsky.social @momedusahorror.bsky.social

John 5: feisty cadavers, and July 31st the Last Stand. go listen and tell me how you feel after those. I have a whole novella with a scene that I think captures the latter. #horrorwriterschat

Ohoho! I have an entire novella I came up with initially based off one John 5 song. And the entire story is music based. #horrorwriterschat

I am Christine (like the car), my horror is supernatural/cosmic/monsters, and when I listen to music while writing it’s usually lyricless. Lofi chill, or metal for a specific mood. #horrorwriterschat

This whole situation is awful and stinks to high heaven. One thing I've learned is that in publishing, like any other area, you must hold people accountable and not forget. Otherwise, they just do the same thing again at some point.

At the Final Girl bar 🥰🥰

#horrorwriterschat a dream I have for my writing career, because I rarely remember my dreams well enough, finishing and publishing the stories that I’ve had sitting around for years. Having that physical copy in my hands and people to share it with.

#horrorwriterschat horror resonates with me. It gives me comfort when the real world is so full of horror I have no control over. It’s a way of processing what-ifs, and overcoming fears. Sometimes it’s just fun!
