The beautiful mushroom treasures I found today! #fungus

Thanks to @ahsimlibrarian.bsky.social and everyone @spl.org @charliesqueerbooks.bsky.social and the Seattle chapter of the Horror Writers Association for a great event. Me and @sadiehartmann.bsky.social talked horror and you all had great questions.

It was so great to have you here in Seattle, Becky! The audience loved hearing you and @sadiehartmann.bsky.social talk about horror and share book recs! And @charliesqueerbooks.bsky.social is the BEST!

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

TONIGHT!! We celebrate horror in a big way when I join forces with @raforall.bsky.social at the @spl.org and it’s rainy! Peak horror book vibes! 7 PM!

Today on the blog-- Becky's Nightstand Reads via @spl.org Blog and my appearance there tonight with @sadiehartmann.bsky.social: raforall.blogspot.com/2025/11/beck...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Because I mentioned how Legend is my all-time favorite movie, I had to watch the end credits which features the EPIC song, Loved by the Sun by Tangerine Dream, it makes me cry, and I took this screenshot for you because it lives in my brain rent free-unicorns, fairies, glitter...enjoy

Wow, @raforall.bsky.social & @sadiehartmann.bsky.social a dream pairing!!! Go see

Not even 6am CT and I am at the airport. This time Seattle bound. Going to see @tuphlos.bsky.social! Oh and also appearing with @sadiehartmann.bsky.social @spl.org to talk about our books. Details here (w/ a reading list): blog.spl.org/2025/11/03/n...

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

BREAKING: PROP 50 HAS PASSED IN CALIFORNIA

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors! They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

That was fast

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

FUCKING VOTE

Tomorrow we’ll elect Abigail Spanberger, Mikie Sherril, Zohran Mamdani, and pass Prop 50.

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future. I hope you will too.

I am coming to Seattle Public Library later this week with @sadiehartmann.bsky.social and I did this post for their "Nightstand Reads" blog series to help promote it. Click here to read more and register for the live event on 11/6: blog.spl.org/2025/11/03/n...

Look at this book! BOG PEOPLE: A Working-Class Anthology of Folk Horror. "Unleash the dark and delirious with this electrifying anthology of folk horror from some of Britain’s most iconic working-class voices." 10 stories!

Surely the people of Halloween can rally together to support a bookstore called THE TWISTED SPINE that sells HORROR books? gofund.me/96586c695

The Twisted Spine in NYC has been open less than 2 months and has already become a beloved fixture in the horror book community. On Oct. 30, they were hit by the remnants of Hurricane Melissa, which resulted in flooding. They need our help now! Please share far and wide: gofund.me/96586c695

Maybe my new favorite Yorgos Lanthimos film. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are mesmerizing. I don’t know, I’m obsessed with Poor Things and The Favourite—loved Kinds of Kindness too, but this one is *special*

me on Oct 31 vs me on Nov 1

Best treat of the night. #HappierHAMILLWEEN 🎃 😋

This is why you buy vinyl. This music, the packaging, it’s mine

It will be a HORROR EXTRAVAGANZA!! 📚

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Truly, one of the highest quality awards. Always great books picked.

Jurors announced for the @sjacksonawards.bsky.social Fab crew.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I'm happy to announce that I am a juror for the 2025 Shirley Jackson Awards! I'm looking forward to this process with fellow jurors. I'm excited to retreat into my reading cave ♥️ www.shirleyjacksonawards.org/2025/10/24/j...

I was invited to talk about horror with Katie Campbell at @kuow.org NPR Seattle and Roxanne Guiney from Haunted Burrow Books and you can listen to our conversation and book recommendations here: www.kuow.org/stories/horr...

Guys, think about the billionaires who never have enough money. It's honestly so sad. Won't you just sacrifice a little more so they can have it all?

Choose Your Halloween Night! Featuring some favorites @sgj.bsky.social @pdjeliclark.bsky.social candles from Get Fictional, movies & candy! Part 2 tomorrow, list in the alt text

I co-wrote an article about 8 Horror Books Written by Women with my librarian friend, Genesee for the Seattle Times! www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

@sadiehartmann.bsky.social If you like modern horror, try this episode of the excellent @historyffs.bsky.social #podcast with THE modern scream queen Megan Tremethick historyffs.com/2025/10/28/s... #Horror, #StephenKing, #Salem’sLot, #screamqueen #halloween #vampires

Quick library run this morning to pick up this book hold. When @sadiehartmann.bsky.social says a book is one of the best she's ever read, you better bet I listen. 🩸📚💙

Released on this day in 1982

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I own all my books, they're right here in my house. They are mine. But where is my music? I'm going to own all my music again.

I just opted out of streaming music altogether. I'm over this shit, man. I'm going analog as much as I can. I liked having a house phone. I liked records and CDs. Just because we CAN stream music and carry our fucking phones everywhere doesn't mean we have to.

A huge benefit of reading horror is it allows timid and anxious people to live adventurously.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

I need a tough shed that doubles as a cottage for my emotional support goat and my home library.
