So I (Rebecca) have had some bad stuff happen in my life that has kind of ... Made us not watch horror. But @breetaylor0.bsky.social's talk has me SO HYPED for getting back in. Thanks, Bree.

A new short story of mine, “Skin Jerky” was recently published in the newest @polymorphicmag.bsky.social anthology! Check it out here:

Oh no I have a cat on my lap so I can’t move to my laptop to write my thesis oh noooo how awful

Let’s make it happen!

The Edmonton in 2030 team have many highly secret plans at the @seattlein2025.org‬ Worldcon. Please don't tell anyone that there will be:

This weekend at Audreys we will have DOUBLE POINTS for ABC Rewards Members, spot GIVEAWAYS, special PRIZES and to top off the treats the most DELICIOUS GELATO in Edmonton from La Carraia.

gender essentialism is a trap... it is pathetic... it is embarrassing that you believe this and it is your responsibility to move out of that belief and impose it as little as possible on the people around you...

the ADHD urge to apologize for existing

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

my HORRIFYING cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books

I already knew that @premeemohamed.com doesn’t miss, but I’m halfway through this novella and HOLY SHIT IT’S SO GOOD GUYS

#booksky, didja know we have a #bookpodcast? Listen for interviews with local writers, poets, publishers, and our knowledgeable staff. Hosted by poet, author, and bookseller, @breetaylor0.bsky.social . New episode dropped today. sites.libsyn.com/542037

TOMORROW! @premeemohamed.com will be at our store for the local launch of 'One Message Remains'. We are soooo excited. Holding thumbs no public transport incidents or cat-based forced naps .... :D

I think I found my new favourite Zelda NPC. 😭😍

in case you were wondering

New poem! "We Tried Beating Time to Death" by Abu Bakr Sadiq! www.uncannymagazine.com/article/we-t...

Current read: Never Say You Can't Survive by @charliejane.bsky.social I needed a book to kick my ass into creativity despite The Horrors and this one looks good for it. Escapism = resistance

i think i’m funny sometimes.

If you don't support trans people, I hope you fucking choke! It's really that simple!
