We writers should not be insulting our brothers and sisters in the visual arts by using AI slop for our covers or in our presentations. We already had access to photo depositories and stock art and it's easy enough to ask artists if you can reuse their work for a promotional credit.

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Stred Reviews: @premeemohamed.com's 'The Butcher of the Forest' is a portal dark fantasy story that is equals parts nostalgia & vibrantly fresh. This one had me captivated from start to finish! I hope one day we return to the woods! stevestredauthor.ca/2025/12/05/s...

I've said it many times before, I'll say it again: our failure to treat the video store as a living, ever-evolving film library is one of the great cultural failures of our time. www.404media.co/the-last-vid...

So this anthology is out in the world now and I have a short story in it — "Perséfoni in the City." Put this on your holiday shopping list because many of these stories and essays are truly amazing. (I'm currently obsessed with Laia Asieo Odo's devastatingly moving "Where Memory Meets the Sea.")

The Shoemaker’s Magician is available now 🖤🎥 “What is it about a darkened movie theater? It's the ultimate dream machine for your waking hours. The flip flip flip sound of film on the end of a movie reel hypnotically pulls you in closer to the screen.” www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-shoema...

Lord, I beg you to take every woman's imposter syndrome and give it to the mediocre men being horrible to her instead.

People will cling to the familiar even if it is killing them. If one doesn't understand this basic fact, then you will be so confounded on multiple levels.

It’s #FridayReads time! Books make great gifts and are tastier than turkey. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Here’s a (45% off!) novel full of monsters, friendship, love, magic, revenge, ghosts, storms, syncretism, and maybe a bit of violence… www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

"Small-press publishers’ passion for and understanding of literature, combined with the creative, diverse and alternative perspectives and spaces that they provide through their books, means that like an underground river they are a source of deep life for the literary industry."

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

I wouldn't even be in the same room with a Teddy Ruxpin. This is my nightmare.

Democrats blinked. Again. Six weeks into a GOP-made shutdown, they folded without securing ACA subsidies. Republicans saw the collapse coming and instantly pivoted to abortion. Now they're trying to extend Hyde to private insurance. My latest:

gavin newsom says he wants to pass legislation banning trans people from playing sports in california

“Predict and Surveil” by Sarah Brayne is a good book to understand how this is used to effectively fence people into particular spaces.

Have you signed up for my newsletter? It's fun. It's unobtrusive. It slides into your mailbox like "heyyyy here's a recipe for soup and also my thoughts on Chuck Schumer." It's short. But it's funny! You won't know if you don't sign up. rewirenewsgroup.com/newsletters/

Ohio continues to dismantle that pesky separation of church and state in the name of “Charlie was a committed Christian, whose life and work will serve as a testament to the power of conservative ideals combined with a legacy of faith for generations to come...” 🤮 ohiohouse.gov/news/republi...

My favorite short story I wrote this year. Please read! Kind of an emotional thing for me.

We are in an extraordinary moment for the fight for trans lives and greater gender freedom for all. I wrote this year’s Remembrance Report - about what we’re facing, where we came from, and why we will never forget those who came before us: www.transremembrance.org/insights-and...

To be honest given the climate in the US and my increasing conviction that I am not going to be one of the ones who makes it through this is my feeling as well. Then again the only people on my timeline talking about TDOR are trans so yknow.

I'm not showing up for "IPs" or rich people movies or another remake of a remake. But I'm seated EVERY TIME there's a story I may not have heard/ seen/ experienced before.

“Follow your gut,” he said. “If you’ve got the goods, people will come.”

You know, I want to read more utopian fiction. Something has changed in me. What are some of your favourite reads imagining a future where we all survive this, and build something together?

Lovely review of THE DEAD WITHHELD by L.D. Lewis over at the Blerd Library 📚 theblerdlibrary.com/2025/11/17/t...

Eeep! ALL OF US MURDERERS is one of BookPage's Best Mystery and Suspense of 2025!

I'm gonna do an eligibility post because I don't expect any other publications this year. Writing in 2025: 1. The Flaming Embusen (short story) available in text and audio: 1/4

"Novels of female interiority have dominated literary fiction for nearly a decade." Happy almost 11 months of pub to CLUB CONTANGO. ✨️😮 Did you know!✨️ It has a not-young MC, and takes on "themes of migration and money"! 🎲📉

This was so unlooked for & so lovely -- I'm thrilled to share that the audiobook of THE RIVER HAS ROOTS is in Audible's Top 20 #BestOfTheYear for 2025 & Top 10 SFF lists, Audible UK's Best of 2025 Sci-Fi Fantasy picks, & Audible Canada's Book of the Year.

We need more TV like Andor or Abbott Elementary or Mr Robot. And more movies like The Menu (2022), Thelma (2024), One of Them Days (2025), Sinners (2025).

"Incoherent empty men want to sell me the chance to stop reading and writing and thinking, to stop caring for my kids or talking to my parents, to stop choosing what I do or knowing why I do it. Blissful ignorance and total isolation, warm in the womb of the algorithm, nourished by hungry machines."

Mira Nair: “Even to say ‘it makes us look bad’ implies that you’ve got the point of view of the outsider […] looking at you. I don’t do that.” “I never was here to become a part of an A list that was heading to Hollywood. I’m here to do what I want to do as an artist.” 🔥🔥 Ousmane Sembène energy
