STARTLING NEW INFORMATION THAT MAY IMPACT THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY: eating chili with mac n cheese on top of it is hella delicious.

Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all! go.bsky.app/6BAmgpi

Read that article about the """writer""" generating 200 books a year with AI and needless to say, I had THOUGHTS

There is no excuse for anyone in 2026 to use substack. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Take it easy, but TAKE it

I’m drunk. I think a guy tried to pick me up at a bar but got turned off after I started gushing about Night Visitors (1987) lol

One of my most cherished classes is my 18th century novels course where the primary learning objective is "learn how read long novels." We did a "couch to 5k" approach to attention span and note-taking.

Stand up, fight back.

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

This is literally my neighborhood. Fuck ICE. Fuck these fucking nazi scumbags. Do em like Mussolini.

TUBI or not TUBI? lolzzzzzz that's right THE PEOPLE'S JOKER is now available to watch for FREE on TUBI! We also just dropped a bunch of new merch at the yeyostore (check it below). It's the best day of your life!

Tear. That. Shit. Out.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Whenever I see someone write the date out on a dated page: you see that January over there? Fuck that January. New January’s in town.

Working on a story that will be the third story in my worms-in-the-brain series. The first was “The Same Thing That Happened to Sam”, published in Your Body Is Not Your Body. The second was “A Cockroach in the Brain”, published in Infinity Mathing at the Shore and Other Disruptions.

Every post from @sffreview.bsky.social - which I’ve now blocked - reads like genAI, and based on their posts, is an outlet no one should support in any way.

New blog post just dropped meatthink.wordpress.com/2025/12/28/a...

In relationships where we are anticipating someone else's emotions and crises, how can we care for our own? M. Lopes da Silva's "the fireman" follows this metaphor: the labor of putting out fires while our own burn too. forge.tips/zine Connect with M. at @mlopesdasilva.bsky.social!

This weekend, I officially wrapped up my part-time gig & I’m doing my best to not let this ruin my holidays (I can just start really freaking out on January 2nd lol). But subs — both free & paid — help me keep going with my writing so any shares/subs are greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤

Creating a list of horror works by trans authors (books don't have to have trans characters--the list is based on authorship): pagebound.co/lists/cc73e5... I'm pausing to edit, but if you have suggestions that aren't already there (including self-recs), let me know!

Conflating newness with progress is bullshit. Just because AI is new doesn’t mean it’s “our future” or inevitable. Arsenic wallpaper was new. Hydrogen dirigibles were new. Now they’re nothing but history lessons.

"You have to use AI." ...why?

I call it “a journaling ecosystem” because I just added duckweed to it.

Today at Tia Chuchas in Sylmar, California. Join me at 5PM for a reading of The Fib. I've also signed 20 copies, which the bookstore will be gifting to folks who stop by!!

Hey, folks, please consider grabbing a copy of this anthology. I hope to keep it going.

Our first author announcement for SATURDAY MOURNING TELEVISION is @tashise.bsky.social with Drawn to Death, a tale of cartoonish cruelty felt from both sides of the animator's table.

Welcome also to @mlopesdasilva.bsky.social with their vivid and unsettling poem, the animators.

We are a Small Business. And it is Saturday. Give the Gift of Weird to your Loved Ones. Give the Gift of Weird to Yourself. You deserve Weird. We all deserve Weird. 🖤☠️ 💀print books 💀eBooks 💀audiobooks 💀magazines 💀shirts, patches & more: store.tenebrouspress.com

A cis man and woman (as a couple) reached out to me on a dating app with a challenge: are you truly solo Polyamory?? And like, wow, y’all are right: I haven’t gone on the True Quest of Polyam and slain the seven-headed Hydra of Monogamy yet - I’ll get on that.

Writing Blog Update - new posting schedule and an announcement about a workshop on Poetry and Ritual that I’ll be leading in December: meatthink.wordpress.com/2025/11/28/w...

happy International Men's Day to trans men only, you guys worked your asses off to earn this and are playing the game on a level cis men cannot even imagine

If an author tries very hard to “not be political” it is assumed that they are in alliance with the status quo, and the status quo is overwhelmingly fascist atm so congratulations - you’re declaring your political affiliation through your silence.

Again for the morning crowd: Cover and pre-order link for Muñeca, out next June! A vivid, surreal Gothic about a queer, Latine, working class witch who sets out to rescue a bespelled heiress and loses control of her powers and her heart in the process. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/788211...

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.
