Opening a short story with the main character asking her mom why her father isn’t joining them on their forty lightyear space voyage to PROVE I don’t have daddy issues

Scenes from my current novellas in progress. Pick your poison: would you rather be a dying astronaut marooned at the end of time or a bloodsucking shapeshifter on the eve of fascist coup d’état?

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

I genuinely thing that US-Americans do not believe the rest of the world to be real. "Isn't it better if the administration is in the hands of people who are just as genocidal as conservatives but who believe in rainbow capitalism and DEI?" is not an opinion someone with a soul would espouse.

I am once again asking if any literary agents would like to read a 70k word novel of mine

My latest short story, “Kraken,” is finally out from smoke and mold. It’s gross, it’s sad, it’s basically tentacle porn, and it’s the best short story I’ve written so far. Check it out here: smokeandmold.net/issue-13-spr...

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now). This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

The ultimate t4t compatibility issue: my boyfriend only wants to do karaoke and I only want to dance

⭐⭐ @lilacperil.bsky.social's sophomore shortform collection TABOO isn't just one of the best books of 2025 - it's also a testament to the power of collective organizing in underground publishing. One of the best showcases of obscure talent and potential I've ever read.

Okay yeah this is the *good* shit

New super gross story about falling in love with a sea monster!

This might be my favorite still from any movie ever.

If I had to explain the purpose of the horror fiction I write in two words or less, “articulate rage” might be it.

just in general bending my life towards spending as much of my time as possible around freaks and queers and weirdos has been the best thing ever

I hate this fucking dogshit country

Something that I find particularly galling about the entire AI on campus conversation is that the total lack of respect for professors it implies hardly gets mentioned.

New super gross story about falling in love with a sea monster!

What movie do you consider perfect?

Anyway everything is horrible and I encourage you to go read The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions if you need to feel better very abruptly

This essay, by an Egyptian-American former New Yorker staff fact-checker, is an incredible read And incredibly damning Huge recommendation

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I proudly belittled Charlie Kirk when he was alive and see no reason why I shouldn’t continue to do so now.
