the way this fills me with pure, uncomplicated rage; forget art or integrity or craft, I hate this for my planet

it's actually just spiders georg, who lives in a cave and slorps out seven thousand books a day

Just read it this and loved it. So happy to hear a new collection is coming out!

Alright yall. Time to get to work. Drink some water. Make sure you eat something. We can do this if we work together.

Any business using this is giving Am*zon So Much Data

This week we’re looking at Neon Hemlock and Baffling! Eager to meeting publisher/editor Dave Ring! @neonhemlock.bsky.social

Fine. Sigh. Fiiiiiiine. I'll go make art to continue the thread of hope, history, and the human spirit. Ugh. Whatever. smh

This is true, but there still are a few, and @therumpus.net is one of them. We love emerging writers as well as established names. And our editors are amazing (and so are our new owners)!

One of my students asked me if I was on Bluesky today, and my fight or flight instincts kicked in

“I want my casino friends to know that though I am, like them, currently a dishonest degenerate American gambler unsuccessfully reckoning with sadness, I was once good at something other than giving my money to contraptions programmed to pilfer.“

No texts from my husband all day and then

John Carpenter hired real homeless people to be the homeless extras in They Live so he could get them pay and hot meals

Gene Wilder wouldn't do Willy Wonka if he couldn't do the summersault when he first walked out

Pizza Hut is bringing back Book It and I am so excited for the young generation of readers. As a very very fast reader as a child, I feel like I single-handedly ruined the finances of our local Hut.

"and then....when she went back to the food bowl........IT WAS EMPTY!" 😱

A Mary Oliver documentary?! FINALLY A MOVIE FOR ME

Hi. I'm Anna and I write cosmic and eco-horror. I think, probably, Magritte. However, it would be remiss of me not to mention some of the superb artists who post here often and give me huge joy. @mariastrutz.bsky.social @leemadgwick.bsky.social @slimyswampghost.bsky.social #HorrorWritersChat

My dog, basically: "I really want to eat this chew, but it's impossible for me to enjoy it unless I believe that you want it. I need to be convinced, can you put some acting into it?"

The true power of Real Housewives of Rhode Island is an entire multi-person thread discussing the nuances on BLUESKY.
