I needed to see this today. Perhaps you do as well. ❤️

Thank you, @debutiful.bsky.social! debutiful.net/2025/10/01/1...

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America. On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that. www.salon.com/2025/10/01/m...

I did not know this! JSTOR is a fantastic resource, I used it all the time in college and it's great to have access to it again. www.jstor.org

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

This took me years of being a published writer to understand: To the people who only know you by your work, you are like the blank screen at the front of a movie theater. You have your own physical reality, but they only see what's projected. They are talking and reacting to the light and shadow.

Sweet Beejuz! I over did it on the last postcard order. If you're at all inclined to support my work, PLEASE pop by my shop and snag a couple sets. xxyxxy.com/available/Po... It seriously keeps going! #art #sketch #postcard #postcards

hi squad, i am hoping to supplement my unexpectedly reduced income with some gig work, including the first of a few workshops! tix: forms.gle/AHW4sQLEJh5v...

I read the transcript of Ezra Klein talking to Ben Shapiro, because I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what they were trying to accomplish. I read rather than listened because I can’t stand the sound of BS’s pinched little voice. 🧵

This exchange says it all.

The other #watercolor piece from my @janetpulcho.bsky.social workshop: gourds. These were very fun to paint. #ArtYear

wrote on charlie kirk for the newsletter this weekend

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

5 centos! Woo-hoo! Thank you Genrepunk 🥰

VENUS a mini comic about girls night uniting us all 1/2

This is so bizarre because no one who loves film will see this, and anyone who would see an AI generated film would never watch The Magnificent Ambersons - but like I guess so much of AI art, the audience is somehow not the point

you gotta read—& gotta SEE—AMAZING new nat raum today! I.i am A. writing 1. an ars poetica i. in which i bury you, ii. in which i close the widest point of the wound myself, 2. a farewell. https://www.havehashad.com/t727h

Denis Johnson - Three Rules to Write By: Write naked. That means to write what you would never say. Write in blood. As if ink is so precious you can’t waste it. Write in exile, as if you are never going to get home again, and you have to call back every detail.

Just saw Jaws in the theater, which was unbelievably cool and also terrifying? And also confirmed my opinion that it’s Spielberg’s best film, hands down

Boiled down my AI policy this semester --

Nature is beautiful...

Maggie Smith: "If we’re going to withstand the rise of AI, I think we need to double down on our humanity. We can do things that generative AI can’t do, because we have experiences that AI can’t have. We can dream and imagine. We can second-guess ourselves, doubt, regret. We can hope and grieve."

art is so hard but im too stupid to stop

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

hi this is my favorite writing advice, it's from former simpsons writer john swartzwelder (i think about the crappy little elf all the time) www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

From this month's edition of The Onion.

"I mean I’m trying to talk about the body without talking about the state" Two new poems at Sontag Mag: sontagmag.com/sontag-mag-v...

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Authors will keep writing. If big publishing wants AI books, we will run our own presses and publish ourselves and each other. They want so desperately to outmode humans, but let's promise each other we won't give in.

It's not paranoia. It's really not safe. Do not use anything electronic to track your period. Start carving lines on a bone you've inscribed with a glyph of the moon. Paper notebook. Tie knots in some yarn. These sysytems and people cannot be trusted.

In May, I made a phone note: swarm of lavender bees. I carried the bees until Kathy Fish's summer immersive when "Lavender Bees, Dilly Dilly" was born 🐝Thank you to the @themerseyreview.bsky.social editors for seeing something in my purple micro fiction haze. www.themerseyreview.com/issues/7/lav...

I'm shocked when a glitzy author quote turns out to be authentic. "I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for?...A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us."

Happy birthday to John Ashbery, whose poetry opened a tiny weird window in me that I’ve never wanted to close again. This is “For John Clare,” my favorite of all of his poems.

hell? yea, brother

I’d love to catch up, but I’m a little horse.

This is absolutely ridiculous. You are running a fundraiser for THE TREVOR PROJECT and decide to make it Harry Potter focused? Absolutely disgusting. @humblebundle.com should be ashamed. You can't reclaim this brand. Fan works aren't exempt. It's all poisoned down to its core. Just vile work here.

It’s here, it’s here! It’s been well over a year since I had published work to share, and I’m so grateful to be amongst the ranks of @bulbculture.bsky.social writers 🥰

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

New mug in pink shadow & chambray. Really liking this combination, especially the overlap. Looks like the mottled fur of a beautiful cat. Happy Thursday, friends.🩵💙☕️🩶 #pottery

it is possible for a society to distribute quality education in an equitable, fair, and accessible way. it is not possible to distribute hierarchical elite power in a similar fashion, because that's not how elite power works.
