Sorry if you follow me on multiple socials because I am obsessed with this sweater I made so I am posting everywhere. Made for the upcoming Nine Inch Nails show in Hamilton with lyrics from Running off Hesitation Marks.

Movies from my husband today (Double Impact is for him, The Straight Story and Excalibur are for me)

This looks amazing.

Samir is an incredible writer, you should read this!

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

Your subscriber dollars at work: Aftermath has a new regular contributor and monthly columnist. Welcome @adashtra.bsky.social and @jmrivera.bsky.social to our regular rotation of writers! aftermath.site/podcasts/after...

For anyone looking for an editor, gotta say @marissavu.bsky.social is great. Sharp, insightful, so nice to work with. Highly recommend.

COVER REVEAL, alt text edition 🖤 In 1994, 3 girls go to the movies. Only 1 is ever seen again. 30 years later, something hunts the 1 who got away. THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT opens September 15 📽️ let's all go to the movies and never come back 😈 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/this-movie...

Sometimes publishing is hard and sometimes you get to see the beginnings of your book cover and it's amazing.

The thing is you never know for sure when the person you're talking to is going to be in a different position, whether they have a book deal they haven't announced or they blow up on TikTok or whatever. If you want to be part of a community, it's so shortsighted to only want to talk to "big names"

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

Got to see Twin Peaks The Return episodes 7-9 at The Westdale today. Seeing Episode 8 in particular was absolutely incredible, but it's all just so good. I just wish people didn't feel the need to laugh every time a scene goes on for a beat longer than expected.

IT'S ALIVE!!! So excited to actually be able to hold the ARC for this novel. I'm sure it's uncool of me to be so open about it, but I friggin' love this book. A new brand of vampires, witchcraft, forbidden love, the 1950's, bloody murder on a train...coming to US shelves in July, UK in September!

From classics to films that deserved far more love, @sharai.bsky.social shares 28 Black movies to watch this Black History Month. 👻📽️ #NightTideMag nighttidemag.com/2026/02/03/s...

Love volunteering with Orion's Belt, and excited to read some more of your poetry soon!

Tremendously excited to join the Night Tide crew as a staff writer!

@momoshaty.bsky.social does and has been doing phenomenal work on the NightTide, and I am so excited to see the excellent lineup of contributors here especially @sharai.bsky.social and @editrixemma.bsky.social among others -- Black History Month and Horror! nighttidemag.com/2026/02/02/h...

Greetings, new followers! My beloved @mzspress.bsky.social & I have an online arts bookstore, and we just added a bunch of new titles—new, used, rare. And yes, we have merch! See "New Arrivals" here: mzs.press/New-Arrivals...

The world is awful but also love is real

Went to Hamilton's Sharp Words today... Bought some books and listened to some great panels!

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched: an abysmal disco movie but the rest of the week was pretty good.

Catherine O'Hara was so funny, so stylish, so unapologetically committed to her roles. From SCTV to Beetlejuice to Home Alone to the Christopher Guest movies to Schitt's Creek to The Studio...such an icon.

Y'all should read @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's @mothership.blog piece. www.mothership.blog/gunpla-is-fo...

This collection is really fantastic (I originally picked it up for the title but then I realized Todd is a fucking great writer).

ReedPop also runs BookCon. #Romancelandia #BookSky

Fantastic, cannot wait for this!

COVER REVEAL AND PREORDER ANNOUNCEMENT! Gore Poetics by @spicycloaca.bsky.social is coming April 14th. It's strange, transgressive, and visceral--just like its cover by @sloppjockey.bsky.social with typography by @alandistro.bsky.social! See more in our newsletter: buttondown.com/cursedmorsel...

We're just a few weeks away from the start of Women in Horror Month! If you'd like to get involved, either as an author or an ally, please let me know! Comment below, DM me, or send me an email through my site. Don't self-reject! We need all the voices! 🖤🖤🖤

Spotlight on Michael Kelly & Best Weird Fiction locusmag.com/2026/01...

Hey friends, can I ask you all to give our @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Crowdfundr a look? Any amount helps us with our workspace renovation plans, if you're not able (which I understand!), if you could share the link that would be amazing. Love you all! 🤗🧡 👻📚 crowdfundr.com/littleghosts...

👀 Stephen King really liked @natcassidy.bsky.social's forthcoming collection, I KNOW A PLACE! "These stories are f*cking great. They rule. So read them." – Stephen King Incredibly grateful King even agreed to read the collection, but this? We couldn't have asked for a better reaction...

Blackness has many meanings and has been defined in ways that need to be redefined. For @crileysnorton.bsky.social and Darius Bost, this is a generative starting point for their book, A BLACK QUEER HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. @thegailyshow.org
