With @davidgilbert.bsky.social : We retraced the history of the #TeslaTakedown, which began with a BlueSky post + has evolved into a nationwide movement that's led thousands to protest outside Tesla dealerships. It's laying the infrastructure for other political fights www.wired.com/story/tesla-...

A friendly reminder to please help this NYC horror bookstore become a reality!

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Jackson: “[T]he Court has now apparently determined … that it is in the public's interest to have the lives of half a million migrants unravel all around us before the courts decide their legal claims.”

What time is it? Time for @concarolinas.bsky.social breakfast club! Love starting the weekend hanging out with these amazing writers. 📚💚

Current vibes.

My library hold list agrees with this observation. 😁

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...

Did you know you can vote for Dark Spores in the Dragon Con Dragon Awards? You can! This mushroom covered cover was created specifically for the anthology by artist Lynne Hansen Art and we couldn't love it any more if we tried! Vote by July 19th!

Canada is coming to our rescue!! They have expanded their hotline for us here!! Thank you CANADA!!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

DOGE will absolutely (on lost tax revenues alone) cost more money than any claimed savings

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

In which I run my mouth about BLACKFIRE RISING, making the switch from newspapering to a freelance life, and other such topics. falstaffbooks.com/the-dead-kno...

Senate Republicans would rather you didn’t find out they just voted to give the biggest banks billions in profits from overdraft fees that kick working people when they’re down. Disgraceful. Meanwhile, every Senate Democrat voted against it.

The next book in my werewolf secret agent series is about to release from @falstaffbooks.bsky.social, and I am psyched about it! (If you pick up the print book, you get the book as an add on. Also, you can buy directly from the publisher.) #BookSky falstaffbooks.myshopify.com/products/veg...

Uh oh the Trump administration accidentally added us to their group chat

We’ve had a great time at #MidSouthCon, and the Literary Underworld crew has had a blast! We got to hang with the awesome @kradec.bsky.social, rant on our favorite topics in panels, and sling booze until the wee hours. Oh, and sell books. Catch us at literaryunderworld.com, and see you next time!

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

Book Event Announcement! On March 29, 4-6 pm, join us at Troubadour Booksellers in Charlotte, NC, for some spore-spreading shenanigans. No shiitake. Amanita to join @johnhartness.bsky.social, @nicolegkurtz.bsky.social, @samanthabwriter.bsky.social & @trashpandacouture.bsky.social! See you there. 🍄

Hey #BookSky - check it out! I'll be there in disguise (trench coats are a bit too warm a fare for Charlotte, NC, weather this time of year.) We're gonna spread some spores, we're gonna talk sporror, it's gonna be a good time!

Republicans: [hands giant piece of their constitutional authority and dignity to Trump] Trump: [cackling, starts to walk off] A DOOR SLAMS OPEN. The DEMOCRATS are standing tall in the door, their shadows cast long and defiant. Chuck Schumer: STOP! Trump: ? Schumer: you forgot this piece

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Incandescent. Rage.

@robgrim.bsky.social - Did you see this?

1. Did you know March is #WomenInHorror Month? Some of the finest horror has been written by #women. - Frankenstein (1818) – Mary Shelley - The Haunting of Hill House (1959) – Shirley Jackson - We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962) – Shirley Jackson - The Woman in Black (1983) – Susan Hill

New, from me: you were told that the threats to free speech came from wokeness. Some compared it to Maoist China. Now we are witnessing government power being used to silence dissent and censor ideas. Now we know what real society-wide chilling effects look like. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

As a hobby, I have personally laid off 3,000 CIA agents who now have nothing but free time and resentment. This was probably a smart decision

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

I reiterate:

The question is settled, this is going to funnel money to quacks and grifters to create a CDC-approved fake "study" that supercharges vaccine misinformation. It's not just a public health failure, it's a terrorist attack on public health.

Schnapps thinks if she ignores me, I won’t kick her off my lap… but I have deadlines.

Y’all … this book is 🔥🔥🔥! @madnessandmonsters.bsky.social pitched it to me at AuthorCon as “BLADE meets DJANGO UNCHAINED” and the rest is history… sorry, little pun. Anyway, if you like themes of found family and raging against the machine of racism, bigotry, and Ancient Greek vampires, grab a copy!

I’m so looking forward to this! Also, I love working with @falstaffbooks.bsky.social because a) buying books and not having to break the Big River boycott is awesome and b) I am always down for a disaster bisexual adventure. #BookSky

I told Shadow and Captain that the next book in my werewolf secret agent series is coming out March 27 from @falstaffbooks.bsky.social - I think they’re excited! Either that, or it’s dinner time. #BookSky
