@unaofthepeatbog.bsky.social thanks so much for sharing, love <3

The phrase “preemptive strike” is as insulting as when we were sold “humanitarian pauses” in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesn’t matter.

@sharoncurtis.bsky.social thanks for sharing, bub ❤️

Hello, I'm Gabby, fosterer & re-homer of cats. After a friend passed in Dec, we took in their precious babies. Typically, we don't struggle to find homes but this time we've hit a wall. These cats are AMAZING & we will deliver to anywhere in the UK for a perfect home where they're loved forever.

#horrorwriterschat Much like the adage "I support women's rights & women's wrongs" I <3 queers who are doing their best & their worst at the same time. Is your beloved wife caring for you as you convalesce & also feeding the monster under the neighbourhood? Yes, but listen before you judge!

#horrorwriterschat I think the thing that comes out in my writing is feeling dissociated or removed from community by memories of being othered (which is a really generic thing to say, but no one here is being paid to be my therapist so don't worry about the details)

#horrorwriterschat I think all my characters are intrinsically queer, and all my characters are inherently marginalised, but I've made the double-edged failure of not writing a black person as someone who does not have that experience.

#horrorwriterschat I'm Gabby, I write horror that helps me process The Horrors. Sam from Victor Lavelle's Lone Women (and his mom) have my heart forever.

Really great way to not only meet other horror writers and hear about their cool projects, but also gives you a chance to think about process and genre tropes!

KILL THIS ZINE is a weaponized semi-automatic prose mini-zine series built to be cut open & stitched together again as a KIYS (kill it yourself) exercise in Burroughsian surrealist “literature” & the first 2 installments are LIVE NOW on kofi for free/PWYW: ko-fi.com/caninebrainz...

I feel like people heard "kill the cop in your head" and folks just increased their mind police's budget

It's an opinion that should by default get you put on a watch list and dumped on an island away from regular folk.

I believe in you, little guy

#horrorwriterschat When I open my eyes they burn from the stench of decay. I'm surrounded by mounds of rot & on the horizon I see the tip of the black mausoleum pierce the clouds & know instinctively it penetrates the earth so much deeper. I hear rustling & something calling my name. I need to run.

#HorrorWritersChat WIP is a short piece that happens in an end-times dream logic space. It's about being left behind, being isolated by an inability to understand emotional devastation, and the debilitating weight of having to go on when you just wish you'd been taken out in the first wave.

#horrorwriterschat I've been exclusively writing in dreamscapes these days. Fever Dream was one of my fave novels of last year and it & life inspired some short work about the absolute screams of agony nightmares can be, and how our work can really lean into that.

I am #excitedtobehere at #horrorwriterschat 1) Gabby 2) grief horror ATM 3) Nightmare with a trunk that had to be sat on at all times or the monster would escape OR the one where I'm chasing my dad through doors that lead around the world until I realise it was just wearing my dad's skin.

Was chatting with friends about how Epstein shit has got us triggered to our eyeballs + BS of navigating survivor-led support spaces while being trans &/or queer. So far I've got Consortium as a potential search engine for support, but if any northern queers have info on group support please lmk?

They're saying that trans women writers don't belong in literature and genre fiction, that we have an "unfair advantage" because we're "too hot and interesting"

Gang, write your wills. It doesn't matter if you are in your 20s, 30s, whatever. Just write something, somewhere about who gets what, and what you want after you can't advocate for yourself anymore. In the very least so you don't get cremated to "Fix You" by Coldplay.
