This afternoon’s much-needed read was “The People’s Project,” curated by @theferocity.bsky.social and @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social

Heeeeeyyyyy, how's your weekend looking?

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

The outpouring of support from readers & colleagues is overwhelming. I can't imagine them coming together like this for a "problematic" trans woman even five years ago. If you want to help me make up the lost income from comics work, you can subscribe to my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/scumbeliev...

excited that this submission window is almost upon us!! i hope that y'all send us your nastiest, slimiest, and sincerest micro pieces this October 🎃🫀

Gretchen Felker-Martin on Charlie Kirk and violence in a public post on her Patreon an hour ago, link in replies:

I hope y’all are ready to come see me at Spooktastic Book Fair at the Framingham Library on Saturday…. There are gonna be some incredible horror writers in attendance, from New England and beyond. Come say hi! I’ll be slingin books and yapping it up.

it is so wild to me that no one cared when kirk said transgender people should be stoned to death. when he repeated and amplified nazi talking points. we're just meant to accept that as free speech, justified debate---and someone being glad he's dead isnt free speech.

New at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: Gretchen Felker-Martin speaks out about DC Comics cancelling Red Hood, and her comments on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "I had no regrets."

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

Shameful to see a creator fired off a book and the whole series immediately cancelled on the same day because she was glib about the murder of someone who famously said that people like her should be stoned to death.

nothing makes me lose interest in a craft essay faster than the author (published, successful enough to teach in an MFA program somewhere) shit talking their students or complaining about their students' writing

deep god

have any of yall read "one hand to hold, one hand to carve" by m. shaw bc its been out for a few years but no one really talks about it and im OBSESSED

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.
