I had totally forgotten I had written a reflection on the hospitality of The Addams Family (and The Addams Family Values) for my progressive Asian American church years ago. I also have a draft of a blog post on The Addams Family and subverting amatonormativity. There’s much inspiration brewing…

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

For 1,000 years, the Sami people have told the story of the Pathfinder - a young warrior that defended his tribe against invaders. In 1987, it became the first film to be made in the Sami language and was nominated for an Oscar! See it in Bristol on 24 April: www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk

I was at a dog-friendly bar in NW Portland tonight and a table behind me started singing Happy Birthday and then I realized it wasn’t for a person but a really old dog who was wearing a crown and he was old and fucking adorable and I love this city

Do I need the pizza? No. Do I deserve the pizza? Hard to say. Is the pizza happening? Yes. Oh yes.

my friend was messing around with the new signal feature where you can add labels to your profile and now she can’t undo them, so the whole group chat is just addressing her as “Margo (straight)”, which is so funny to me

As an artist with ADHD, I want to draw all the things. But I only have the capacity to draw one thing at a time. And it drives me…ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

COVER REVEAL TIME! We're less than a week away now from the publication of my next book, a gentle animal fantasy adventure with illustrations (& cover art) by me Pre-order links are becoming available for the ebook! Blurb in comment below! Wren arrives April 18th! #sff books2read.com/wrensaria

This is a lovely tale, if I do say so myself, and would be fun to read along with your kids, but is also entirely appropriate for adults who appreciate the natural world and the value of kindness and friendship. Includes 52 absolutely charming illustrations by me as well!

Love the texture of the feathers, the crackled branches, and the happy hope in this one!!

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Hey, the audiobook of my Nebula-winning novel Someone You Can Build A Nest In is just SEVEN BUCKS! The deals lasts a while longer. A shapeshifting monster *accidentally* falls in love with the woman who's hunting her. We've all been there, right?

Listening to Lana Del Ray’s “Young and Beautiful” and I admit was thrown off a little at: “Dear Lord, when I get to heaven, please let me bring my man…/ All that grace, all that body All that face makes me wanna party He’s my son” (she said “sun”)

I retired from writing short stories but I am ready to come back for one last job.

I went out for a short walk and accidentally fell into a bookshop! After stumbling straight into these books, they just decided to follow me home. 🤷

the autistic experience of not wanting to be rude & politely waiting for someone to finish their sentence, bc the inflection in their voice sounds like there’s more context but they don’t finish their sentence, so you try as politely as you can to prompt them with “…and?” and they go “EXCUSE ME?”

it’s been a really weird week of rude people

could you imagine Colin Robinson and the vampire Armand in the same room? they would have an autism off and I'm honestly not sure which one of them would make it out alive #iwtv #wwdits #armand #colinrobinson #headcanon

I’m FINALLY watching the finale of What We Do In the Shadows and….I’m not laughing like I used to, it used to be so funny, but this is just mean and sad? I remember reading an article about how disappointing that is considering a lot of queers & neurodivergents saw themselves in these characters

Nothing like taxes to really magnify/rub in the mattering of the single/married status. 🫠

OMG YES I CAN’T WAIT!! 🔥

Thanks Mary! #HorrorWritersChat, would you like to judge for yourself if I did a good job bringing the Victorian era to life? Then check out my Gothic horror novel "The Pure World Comes." But beware; it could scare you to pieces! www.amazon.com/Pure-World-C... #HorrorSky #BookSky

Thank you for another fun week! It's me.... again, with my collection. It's my baby, my gross creepy mutant baby full of scary, wondrous, creepy, weird stories. And I would love more readers. Thank you! #HorrorWritersChat mybook.to/AllsWell

Thank you for another fun week! I've got nothing to promote at the moment apart from if people want to follow along my journey of writing my queer religious horror WIP!

Andrew Joseph White’s HELL FOLLOWED WITH US had me in awe for what trans/religious horror can do! Also been really enjoying/highly recommend checking out these super insightful horror/gothic video essayists on Youtube: -Princess Weekes -Rocklin Graves Productions -Girl on Film #HorrorWritersChat

Wow thanks so much for the mention!! ☺️

Ohey thanks so much for the mention!! 😊

#HorrorWritersChat Q3 I do want their queerness to feel authentic to the period, bc I roll my eyes at how shallow some modern “first ever feminist retelling[s] of Frankenstein!!” can be. I read academic papers. I have Victorian history content that I follow to just absorb casually over time. +

#HorrorWritersChat Q2: I LOVE fairytales, folklore, and fantasy. My specialty besides gothic horror is fairytale retellings. The one I’m still proudest of is a genderbent reimagining of the tale “Allerleiruah” in which the magical land the refugee prince escapes to happens to be Asian (Chinese).

Hello #HorrorWritersChat! I’m Ell and I write ace horror. Q1: This week I started reading Frankenstein’s Monster by J.S. Barnes, and Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer!

WE ARE OPEN!!!

the autistic socialized woman of color experience of working twice as hard, communicating twice as much, apologizing for things not your fault, accommodating others, and proving your professionalism/sociability/skills while some guy shrugs off every single thing asked of him and still keeps his job

Thread. You wouldn’t believe the number of wrongful convictions and manufactured evidence created to force a plea to a lower felony. Right now, we concentrate on the Death Penalty & Life w/o parole cases for overturning wrongfuls because those people are in peril. But lesser wrongfuls are common.

By contrast, most people who you DON'T want in public office - white collar criminals and sex pests - rarely if ever are charged with felonies, let alone convicted. And that's the thing: copaganda like Law and Order SVU will have you believe most felons are sexual predators.
