If you need to flee your state, there are people organizing on your behalf. If you need financial support, there are people organizing on your behalf. If you want to take a stand against this vile administration, there are people organizing on your behalf. YOU CAN BE THAT PERSON TOO.

today is a day to tell trans people you love them AND other things. don’t tell us you love us and leave it at that. get in the streets and protest. call your electeds. help trans people in your life access docs, legal help, medical care, make their rent. do more, please.

PORTRAITS OF DECAY is out NOW! I couldn’t be prouder of this book—the short story is such a fundamental part of the horror genre, it feels especially exciting to see my work collected. To kick off PORTRAITS’ birth, I wanted to talk about some of the works that served as its inspiration. THREAD/

My vision for ConCurrent was simple: one day of excellent programming; have it be free to attend; run it efficiently; and never use genAI/LLMs. Let me say that again. I and all involved in this convention rebuke genAI and guarantee no genAI usage in any part of this convention. 2/7

it has never been more crucial for cis lesbians to be loud in support of our trans family. this is a chilling escalation of longtime tactics; attempts at a “feminist” case for transphobia ALWAYS include a disingenuous “nooooo won’t someone think of the poor lil lesbians 🥺🥺🥺” and it is such bullshit

CROM CRUACH/PUPPET'S BANQUET author Val is in a bit of a bind & could use a hand. The ask is very small & will do her a world of good. I—Matt—spent the last 20+ years dealing w/lingering teeth issues that are now (mostly) mercifully resolved, & I can attest to their misery. gofund.me/3646f79b
