AI is not only throwing us into recession + climate disaster but also is actively contributing to manufacturing complacency with war. It ultimately helps their bottom line when we see these horrifying images of war and our first thought is "is this AI?"

man what the fuck

Super excited to say that my horror short story, The Blood Remains, was a finalist for the AAEF short story writing contest! 🖤

Statements made by politicians cannot unmake a victim of ICE just as they cannot rebuild Gaza. These are lives killed and disappeared, over and over and over again

What makes a house haunted in Palestine? Is it the ghosts that linger - or is it something far more sinister? Our Cut of Salt is about a haunted house in Palestine and the 3 generations of women who must discover the answer to this question for themselves. Preorder now: linktr.ee/deenahelm

What a better way to start a Monday than with the third part of "A Jam's list to 2026 releases"? Third part of my most awaited titles for 2026 and that I hope to cover in the blog (depending on review copies and all): jamreads.com/articles/a-j... 💙📚

No donations for 6 days. Please share & give to help Heba's family survive Israel's continuing genocide. They've been left homeless, starving, & sick as winter rains flood the camps. They urgently need shelter, healthcare, & food:

an entire generation losing their minds that their children and grandchildren would DARE to do anything they don't understand and turning the full might of the world's imperial powers against the people they profess to love most

The New Arab (@thenewarab.bsky.social) included Our Cut of Salt for their 2026 most anticipated releases 🇵🇸 if you want to preorder your copy (which helps tell publishers that you want more Palestinian stories!!), you can do so here: linktr.ee/deenahelm

this is up for preorder now :) if you want a palestinian haunted house that fights against its occupiers, preorder here: linktr.ee/deenahelm

Weekend read is here: OUR CUT OF SALT by Deena Helm. Thank you @kristintemple.bsky.social @deenahelm.bsky.social

Gaza saw its first major rainfall of the season today. Within minutes, people were submerged and tents holding families and children flooded. This is slow death. There is no justification for why proper shelter that can withstand the elements is not being allowed in.

We are SO excited to announce our 2025-2026 Round Table Mentors! The talent, dedication, and energy of this team is simply incredible. Full bios and wishlists will be up on our website soon! 📢🗓️For interested parties—mentee applications open Nov. 6, so mark your calendars!

New Yorkers! There’s a very real possibility Schumer & Gillibrand will throw trans people under the bus to help Trump & keep the government open. Call them & tell them no! Script below.

What does recognition of a Palestinian state mean when the material reality remains the same? Palestinians in Gaza are still suffering through a genocide; Palestinians in the West Bank are still under siege. Recognition is an empty gesture in the face of actual change

No but seriously where are the hundreds people that disappeared from the monstrosity of the so called “Alligator Alcatraz”? Why aren’t people talking about it? I can find very little and it’s from weeks ago! Are we at the disappearing phase of this horror?! www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Help email, call, and pressure media to get this story out: tinyurl.com/FREETHOXHA

I am re-opening to queries for underrepresented/marginalized writers ONLY! If you think we’d be a good fit, feel free to use this link to query me: QueryTracker.net/query/AlexBr... I’ll try to stay open for at least a month! Can’t wait to read your work!!! 🥳

It’s official! @alcovepress.bsky.social is bringing HELLBOUND to a bookstore near you in Fall 2026!

This has started today - you can bid on over 380+ items now! I’ve donated three 30 page critiques but there are lots of other great items out there: www.32auctions.com/WeThePeopleS...

Gaza is the graveyard of international law

anyone who has a platform based on making/eating food needs to be speaking on the manmade starvation in gaza + sudan. it feels dystopian to pass by recipe videos right after videos of people being starved

Congratulations to @deenahelm.bsky.social on the sale of her upmarket Palestinian horror novel, OUR CUT OF SALT, exploring generational trauma, grief, and the horrors of the Israeli occupation, out in September 2026 from Tor Nightfire and Orbit UK!

As I said before: OMG

This sounds amazing and I can’t wait!!

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY I had the absolute joy of reading the synopsis of this and it was mind-bogglingly good, I'm so excited to read the whole thing 💜

This one is straight to the books I really anticipate for 2026. Today, more than ever, we need Palestinian voices, and horror is one of those genres that allow for the best.

She's Publisher's Marketplace official! ♥️🇵🇸 If you're interested in book about a haunted house that fights back against its occupiers - and the three generations of Palestinian women who are bound to it - then look out September 2026 from Tor Nightfire and Orbit UK!

Palestinians cannot eat statements made by politicians
