Here’s some (more, I shared her work back in May) Dead Seagull art to make your Saturday a little better.

Wrote a thing about agents. If you’re a new writer or are actively querying, hope this helps keep you safe! gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/too-many-s...

Hi Gabino - consider yourself reposted. I'd love simply to get more traffic over on my blog to some stories published in print whose rights have reverted back to me- such as this one: angelisawood.blogspot.com/2025/11/at-e...

It’s a High on Fire kinda morning.

Night #5 of nothing but Sonny Rollins.

Time for another amazing recipe leading up to Thanksgiving! Today I bring you a healthy classic: jellied tongue. Easy to make, too. Served cold, preferably with a beef broth and mayonnaise sauce.

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. I’m sharing this one because it’s very timely, helped me land an agent, was a Stoker nominee, was published in France and Italy, and it’s 30% off! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

“I want them to go hungry!” cries the manbaby as he slobbers all over his greasy burger.

Opened IG and got a “You just hit 8K followers!” notification. I read it and moved on. Then it hit me. No books there. Little politics, music, or movie talk. It’s just my photos there. That made the notification feel cool. Anyway, like photos and stuff? Come find me. Let’s hang.

Saw some stuff from @alandistro.bsky.social yesterday and talked to my agent. Lots of fuckery going around and too many predatory “agents” out there. Guess it’s time to write about it. Won’t change the world, but one less author that falls for their bullshit is a win.

I still remember all the “Your fears are dumb and it’ll never come to that because the Constitution blah blah.” Well, here we are, motherfuckers. I told you none of them read it.

Pre-order my upcoming book Unfold. It is a workplace drama x creature feature. Available as an e-book or paperback. Audiobook coming in 2026. www.amazon.com/Unfold-Trist...

I write fiction, as well as writing about storytelling, and how narrative works within culture in different ways. Right now, everything on my Patreon is free, though that will be changing in the next few months. www.patreon.com/cw/alexapagl...

So, I have this zombie apocalypse romance short. Like most zombie stories, it's not really about them. It’s about depression, isolation, immigrant experiences, and mistakes made. With some sex thrown in. People can grab Kick at the Darkness for $1.99: books2read.com/u/4Xrqqv #fridayreads

Have you ever read a sci-fi detective comedy narrated by a coffee machine robot? What about one that has 154 footnotes, a star from Publishers Weekly, and a "GET IT" verdict from Kirkus Reviews? www.amazon.com/Great-Americ... bookshop.org/p/books/the-... www.audible.com/pd/The-Great...

Why I have problems marketing my book series: 🧚 There are Fairies, but not your typical Fairies. 🏹It's an epic fantasy but focuses on dialogue and character moments, not big battles and fight scenes. 🌙Large cast of mostly women. 🔆Ceremonial magic! 💚💜🤍 www.amazon.com/dp/B08HLVPF7D

Fuck you, Sleepy Joe! Oh, wait…

Tonight on my internet journey #2: Awful taxidermy. Dugongs. Lego. Ad for NYPD Pizza, which is in Orlando. Miles Davis. Bumblebees napping on flowers. Card tricks. Death metal. Malört. Big Mama Thornton. Nina Simone. Ghosts caught on camera. People getting knocked out. Tacos.

Here’s some Adeline Lamarre art to make your Thursday a little better.

Highly recommend this vivid & scary read.

Heard y’all are doing Noirvember? Well, this kicks off with someone’s mom taking two to the face while working and then gets dark. Literally and figuratively. I promise. It’s what barrio noir does. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

It’s a Defeated Sanity kinda morning.

Night #4 of nothing but Sonny Rollins.

I was sick and fell behind on everything, but amazing recipes every day until Thanksgiving starts today! Starting with the Californian Jello Ring. Perfect for prune lovers! You’ll need two cups of boiling water, prunes, gelatin, 1/2 a lemon, and sugar. Enjoy! (Image: Paul Hamlyn)

“Actually, the Democrats are losing with these wins” is some wild shit.

You can read yesterday however you want, but I’m going with “Shove the whole ballroom up your ass, Donny.”

It’s a Deicide kinda morning.

The most problematic thing about Mamdani is that he’s—wait, he’s not a fascist piece of shit! Ah, we’re good. I’ll look for stuff to complain about when we’ve gotten rid of all the fascists.
