Doing the final proofread of @endwellian.bsky.social’s OLYOKE—out in March!—& there’s a passage that references an event that *feels sorta* like something that happens in @momoshaty.bsky.social’s CLAIRVIOLENCE & screw it we’re just gonna take this moment to declare the Tenebrous Extended Universe🤯

Turn on the TV. Doesn’t matter what channel.

Anathemas Splendor

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today.

beestungmag.com/issue25/one-... poetry can make you feel less alone, and sometimes that is because i think i was in philly at the same time as the artist, circling around profoundly similar thoughts above the schuykill beautiful work

vyvre is exceptional at critical and detailed world-building - thought-through worlds and societies, and characters who are grounded in and shaped by those worlds

It was SO important to me to get to write an autistic MC in this fantasy novel because as a kid I felt like all fantasy heroes were super socially adept and able to navigate situations I could never get through. I wanted to write a hero who struggles to be seen and understood

it's important to recognize that this systemic devaluation & dismissal of qualified, capable disabled students is by design. many fall victim to it after a lifetime of similar devaluations & dismissals. this mechanism weeds out future disabled scholars & continues cycles of academic ableism.

SKULLRUNNER is out today! Get your morally-grey sapphic pirates hunting down their stolen memories and fighting a dictator now! Featuring: queer found family, gods that split via mitosis, sisterhood and sibling relationships, and abominable monsters from the depths of the sea!

I got to read an ARC of this book and I'm not quite done yet (it's long), but oh my gosh it is so fucking good. This is exactly the book my queer autistic soul needed. The worldbuilding is fantastic, the ethical problems are thorny, the interpersonal dynamics are complex, and it's! So! Good!

The Cost of Beauty.. [1/2]

all who know me can attest I have been raving all day about the amazing writers who said nice things about my book

The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away. Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

I really enjoyed DEHISCENT. It strikes a balance i like a lot, between a humid dread and cold comfort, and lingering guilt that is somewhere between the hard to absolve and the not-quite-deserved. Wonderfully crafted book (with really great artwork, too)

if you've enjoyed reading beestung for free, please keep doing that, but also please consider giving us maybe $5-$640. 🐝

NYPD Clears a Path for Federal Agents on Canal Street With Violent Arrests and Pepper Spray An immigration crackdown was scheduled for Saturday afternoon on Canal Street, but was abandoned after demonstrators and vendors caught wind of it.

It basically sucks to be in a situation where you're screaming "It can't be! We killed you!" at a shambling figure that's encroaching inexorably

I am delighted to finally show off the cover I was fortunate enough to do with Tenebrous Press for OLYOKE, an incredibly dreamy, psychosis-inducing book. This might've been the most fun, cathartic and enthusiastic I've been with a cover piece, thanks to the contagious passion behind the team.

Let’s be so for real about who the real thieves in creative industries are. It’s not someone pirating a damn pdf. It’s the fucking parasites scraping yr work for an LLM, it’s algo-brained ghouls at the highest levels of major media who killed art as a career so they could pocket your living

RFK's goal is to kill children, specifically sick children. If you assumed that was *not* his goal, you'd think that he was failing at an entirely, completely different goal: not killing children.

my most butlerian jihad coded belief is that we should probably make it illegal – and more importantly, we should work toward a cultural consensus that it is immoral – to design a computer program whose interface uses the first person
