I'm looking for readers for both @fracturedlit.bsky.social & @unchartedmag.bsky.social It's a laidback way to get involved with a literary magazine, and it will help level up your writing! We ask for 2-4 hours of volunteer reading each week, but I'm flexible with vacations and other commitments.

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

This is your daily (gentle) kick in the rear to work on something today! If you have an hour free (now or later), why not spend it writing or drawing or doing something productive? Put this app/website away, so do something you can be proud of! Report back with your progress so I can be proud, too!

i love everything about this

One more time: as we come to a close on Women in Horror Month, I once again present the article @sadiehartmann.bsky.social & I did for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social lareviewofbooks.org/article/fera...

post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid 🐱⛈️🤷

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

I have a new weird flash story out today about spinal taps! 💉 Absolutely lost my mind to see my story featured on the top page of @electricliterature.com. Dream come true 😭

This post perfectly illustrates this terrible phenomenon. It's bad for art, bad for artists, and bad for the collective soul of humanity.

📚💀💅🏼 March is Women in Horror Month, and I’m really looking forward to these new and new-ish books on my TBR! Disclaimer: I am the most excruciatingly slow reader to walk/limp the earth 🐌 so these are from my 2026 but not-necessarily-March TBR… #wihm #womeninhorror #womeninhorrormonth

this was the video🫠👻

me after every encounter with adobe premiere to produce a tiny video 🙃🙃🙃

My storyyyy! I drafted this in uni, nice rejection note from F&SF, -lost it- for 2+ decades & couldn't remember my ending, FOUND IT thanks to an old friend, (re)LEARNED HOW IT ENDED, light rewrite, submitted. 😁🚀 Yes, you can argue I wrote better as a 19-year-old & it's been downhill ever since. 😅

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

only four more days until submissions for our fall 2026 issue close!

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

My story "Distant But Unmistakable" is in this wonderful antho!

every day the technology i use for work breaks more and more, and i am supposed to sit calmly in my office chair instead of screaming and running on all fours into the woods

This observation has always stuck with me...

"cheerfully gory and cheerfully queer" is one of my favorite comments that i've received on this book--thanks @bogiperson.bsky.social ! House, Body, Bird is available at psychopomp.com/product/hous... --check it out 🥩💖

Feel like we should be telling people we appreciate them more these days as a matter of mutual care.

Wrote a very quick (free) post over on Patreon recommending a handful of poetry collections that I found particularly impactful, if you're interested in exploring poetry and don't know where to start www.patreon.com/posts/152733...

Happy International Women’s Day! Acknowledging the hands of countless women in the needle trades through the lens of the women in Norman Hartnell’s embroidery workroom. Their legacy survives in the glittering gowns they embellished. Dress 1950s #RCT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

this is very good

How cool is this? THE CURSE OF HESTER GARDENS made it onto this amazing @gizmodo.com list of anticipated SF/F/H books releasing in March. Link to the full list in comments. Apologies to your tbr! @erewhonbooks.bsky.social @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social #BookSky

There’s another horrific video circulating on the timeline and this is my regular gentle and loving reminder to *turn off autoplay* on your videos so you can give consent to see these things.

this looks so cute.

I have a new story out today in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social! “What We Mean When We Talk About The Hole In The Bathroom” is about superstition, intercultural relationships, and yes, a strange hole in the bathroom. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/what...

seeing Associated Press people say that when it comes to genai, "resistance is futile" but that line has a very particular source (Star Trek), and the point is that resistance very much is *not* futile. the Federation successfully resisted! the Borg have been destroyed!

Hey, "House, Body, Bird" by @bernie-jsyk.bsky.social is out! This is a wild little roller coaster ride of a book that you can buy and read NOW (and you should!)

“Inheritance is never clean. We gather too much over the course of a life, too many objects imbued with too many memories, to ever pass on an uncomplicated story to our descendants.”

Y’all, I love this novel so much. Have been thinking about it ever since I finished reading it.

I'm delighted that this story is apparently working for friends who didn't get all the references, but also I wasn't trying to keep secrets, so I'll tell you: this is the Camilla that my Camilla named herself after.

*sigh*

Persepolis is an all time favorite of mine. I was lucky that my public library had a huge collection of graphic novels, it was how I read Maus too.

The House allowed Birdie to escape once. It refuses to let her shame the family again. 😱 House, Body, Bird by @bernie-jsyk.bsky.social is out NOW 💀 get yours here: psychopomp.com/product/hous...

#HorrorWritersChat My first draft novel has a character named Edity. I realized while writing that she was trans. She begins as a secondary orbiting the main, inserts herself more into the action, becomes a hero during the climax and more of a co-lead. Slightly obnoxious, big heart. I love her.

#horrorwriterschat Much like the adage "I support women's rights & women's wrongs" I <3 queers who are doing their best & their worst at the same time. Is your beloved wife caring for you as you convalesce & also feeding the monster under the neighbourhood? Yes, but listen before you judge!

Hello #HorrorWritersChat ! I'm Victor. I write short horror, and am working on a story collection! My favorite black horror characters are Otis Jr. And Emerald from Nope, and Nauls from The Thing

no bury your gays!!! the opposite of bury your gays! transformation and liberation and new life for your gays! #HorrorWritersChat

isolation in queerphobic houses during summer break (thankfully something i haven't experienced personally). parents carrying on harmful traditions because Tradition. it's so easy to see how these experiences could be different & better. that tragedy made me choose them. #HorrorWritersChat

Birdie Goodbain is a 20-something lesbian who returns to her intolerant parents' decrepit dollhouse museum to "help with renovations." Lila Rossi-Rosen is her party-planning girlfriend who goes to rescue her. I love love, and they love each other. That's where they came from. #HorrorWritersChat

i'm bernie! i write horror with a lot of Weird and Gothic genre angles. i love houses, body horror, and struggling for control of the narrative. Em Haywood from Nope is my favorite, hands-down, no competition. & Karen Reyes from My Favorite Thing is Monsters is also lovely 🐺 #HorrorWritersChat

House, Body, Bird is out today! get your copy here: psychopomp.com/house-body-b... i really liked what @bogiperson.bsky.social did for eir launch of Song of Spores: namely, please comment/repost with your own projects! i'm so grateful to be among such a ferociously imaginative community. ty 💖👻
