I feel like the universe just played Fuck-Mary-Kill with Jonathan Bailey, Zohar Mamdani, and Dick Cheney

This is what it feels like to be the last person on the internet who is Normal about Taylor Swift

BLITZER: Now we’re getting reports that one of the bullet casings was engraved with a message saying that if you are reading the casing, you are gay. We must warn our viewers we’re about to show the photo and don’t know at this time whether the engraving is what makes you gay or if it just tells you

I fixed the Cracker Barrel logo if anyone is interested! #illustration #branding

In a stunning moment of erotic fervour, calculator demands BOOBS.

I WANT THAT TWINK OBLITERATED! is back in stock at proud-geek.co.uk. It’s a queer sci-fi anthology collecting Seventeen stupidly fun, often horny pulp sci-fi and fantasy stories published by @bonabooks.bsky.social #booksky

I Want That Twink… Nominated?! 🤯 We’re over the moon (and beyond) that IWTTO! is a finalist at the BFAs.

Trying to explain to my former Gen Z intern what the second Iraq War was like (he was 1 when it started), and honestly: Just know that every war in my lifetime has been started by a Republican president. Please remember that, no matter what bucket of lies the GOP tries to sell you, younger voters.

This is a reference to the iconic, Pulitzer-winning image of a Vietnam War protester. He later moved to SF, renamed himself Hibiscus and formed a drag troupe called the Cockettes. Happy Pride!

I haven’t eaten at a Wendy’s since they pulled their ads from Ellen’s sitcom after she came out in 1997, and I haven’t used an Uber since they broke the strike line at JFK in 2017. It’s never too late to hold a grudge ☺️

It takes less time to get from Santa Monica to San Diego than it does to downtown

Warming my cold hands on the furious outrage over the Woke Marxist Pope ☺️

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Imagine having more money, power, and influence than 99% of the planet and using it all to foment violence and discrimination against a tiny minority group. What a soulless use of a privileged life.

AHOY, BABE🛟✨ A little commotion for for the cover + synopsis of my next book THE DEAD OF SUMMER, please!!

When I was a child, the computers were the ones who would scream when we got online

Me in Europe, pretending I was born here

Me in the national security team group chat

Flying back to Europe today!

I moved to Finland in 2011, and cannot recall seeing a single unhoused person there in the past fourteen years

Twin Peaks changed me as a storyteller in the same way that Buffy did—but my favorite Lynch will always be the sublime and haunting Mulholland Drive. An ode to crushed dreams and the fantasy machine that is Hollywood, I feel lucky it happened in my lifetime.

The fact that the people who are pushing rednote right now are all the conspiracy theorists who keep falling for the same grift over and over is enough to keep me away from it

Post you from a different era

Gay people face a number of challenges and having to get around all the slow walkers is one of them

Okay, I kinda fell off on here, but I’m BACK!

"In Sheep's Clothing" by @calebroehrig.bsky.social!!

SURPRISE!! Another review is in for TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN, and this one is from School Library Journal! They call it “an essential purchase for all teen collections,” so when you hear me say that over and over now, it’s a direct quote!!

SURPRISE! My first MG title is coming your way, thanks to HarperCollins! It’s my Tim Burton-meets-MATILDA take on the creepy kid who sees dead people, and I’m having the time of my life. Can’t wait for readers to meet Poe!

Next, @calebroehrig.bsky.social, whose new TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN is one of the best queer Shakespearean retellings we’ve ever read. What if Romeo fell for Mercutio’s younger brother instead of Juliet? Lush, romantic, and gorgeously written. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

We’re very excited to announce our brand-new STRETCH GOALS which we hope will be music to your ears! We’re aiming for £15K to produce a glorious AUDIOBOOK (free for Vogon tier backers and up)!! Please share! We’d love to make this happen! Full details: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bon...

All I’m going to say is that the last SFF short story I wrote was so much fun I developed the concept into THE FELL OF DARK, so lemme at this one, too?? Pretty please!?

11.5 hours in and we’re 2/3 funded!!! £2500 more in the next 12 hours and we’ll have OBLITERATED that funding goal in a day!!! LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bon...

FRIENDS! Guess who’s coming to YALLFEST this year?? I’m really looking forward to meeting readers face to face again, and trying to remember how to sign my own name 😭

Happy book birthday to @calebroehrig.bsky.social’a glorious TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN, which I loved SO much! It plays with R+J in such clever ways that isn’t the typical genderflipping Juliet (she remains a character here as well), and the writing is just so beautiful and layered. 🥰

I'm not usually into YA, but I make an exception for my buddy Caleb (@calebroehrig.bsky.social)'s witty, twisty, queer-queer-queer novels—and I'm so excited that a new one's out today! A Romeo & Juliet "remix" with cute boys. What better accompaniment to my (second, sigh) iced coffee this morning?

Today’s the day! TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN is finally on bookshelves ❤️ I’m so proud of this one, and so glad that Romeo & Valentine are getting their chance to shine!! AMZ: amazon.com/Teach-Torches-… B&N: barnesandnoble.com/w/teach-the-to  IND: bookshop.org/p/books/teach- 

I’m case you didn’t know, I’ve got a Romeo-and-Juliet coming out tomorrow(!), and so TODAY I’ve got a list on The Nerd Daily of some of my favorite R&J retellings! What are some of yours? https://thenerddaily.com/caleb-roehrig-author-guest-post/

I won’t be in the US when TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN comes out, but the fab team at Fierce Reads are hosting a live chat between me and Cherie Dimaline on their IG account (@/fiercereads) at 6pm ET on August 22! Be there or miss all the cool inside jokes!!

Finished copies of TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN are in!! 🤩 I seriously cannot stop staring at it! We did it, Joe!! 😭

TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN just got a starred review from Booklist! Tackling a story that’s been tackled as many times as R&J was intimidating, and I’m so glad they got where I was coming from 🥰
