Happy holidays, dear readers! Our gift to you: big ‘ol .csv files, a public records request guide and behind-the-scenes info from our investigative series on Flock cameras, all available to download at the link below. We've also included a guide on how you can request your own Flock docs:

Reminder that this bundle of queer wintry stories still available for just $3! It includes my story The Beggar Queen, which follows my book The Wolf Bane but can be enjoyed on its own ☺️

I don't really have a Christmas release, but this story does take place entirely in a walk-in freezer

Y’know. There are some people. And you learn to recognize them (or not, I guess) where every single accusation really is a confession.

Also, if you haven't read Ghost Flower by now, you are really missing out.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS. IT'S SO GOOD 🎄🎄🎄

ALSO if you missed last year's free Ghost Flower Yuletide Carol....

I think this one's pretty good!

Crowd of people trampling abuse victims: MAYBE THE ABUSER HAD TRAUMA IN THEIR PAST!

I made a spindle, and then I made yarn! And it’s so pretty, I love it when I both accomplish something, and it looks really lovely. 💚 Bronze Age Crafting Era!

The people who were nowhere to be found when you were going through hell will be standing on the other side to judge you for how you got there.

SERIOUSLY.

Voting is still open, I think, probably!

Hey, queerly beloved! Did you enjoy the first installment of Shadows Over Ravenkirk? Are you eager for more? Shadows Over Ravenkirk 2: Civil Blood And Civil Hands is still some months away, but I have the first of hopefully many short stories to tide you over in the meantime!

i want to remind everyone that the worse fascism gets, the more sign it is that it's in decay. fascism becomes more violent, more brutal, and more desperate as time goes on. we have to keep up the pressure, no matter what. fascism is not forever, and is a doomed ideology.

boosting this. coverage forthcoming from folk @ tnn. this strategy actually did end up working in ohio last year, i strongly recommend giving it a shot

Remember that dingus the other day scolding about how it's pointless to yell at "big companies" about their acceptance or use of AI?

[scottish castle] JK Rowling: ugh! i'm tired of all thesssse people online making fun of my black mold! Rowling: that'sss it! Rowling: today isss the day that i do sssomething about it

IF THEY EMPLOYED AN LLM IT IS NOT THEIR CREATION.

Coming soon! Shadows Over Ravenkirk Part Two won't be out for a while, but in the meantime I have a couple of short stories to tide you over ...

AND? I mean I appreciate this info but it’s a daily occurrence and I’m not seeing a plan from people (like you) with a lot of actual institutional power. (Unlike us.)

It's amazing how the tech industry's go-to is consistently "What if we make our service worse?"

Washington may regulate Flock in next legislative session: Amid a nationwide backlash over privacy concerns, state legislators are looking to clamp down on data retention for automated license plate reader cameras.

my latest is out over at TNN! a first part in a systematic debunking of a popular work promoting nonviolent revolt as "scientific fact." drawing from historical & scientific literature, i show that this work is very flawed piece was so big that it took an extra few days to fix technical issues lmao

Trans healthcare is literally lifesaving. The push to dismantle it is openly genocidal. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

We're in good company here.

It doesn't have to be like this, is the thing We don't have to be ruled by wealthy child rapists We don't have to let them divide us, to keep us weak and afraid, to argue over which group is small and weak enough to sacrifice this time We can just get rid of them and live our lives

From the bottom of my heart, every one of those people can die and go to Hell

Every trans person and ally must boycott voting not only for these three Democrats, but any other House Democrats from the states (Texas, North Carolina) who don't condemn and disavow Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis for this sickening betrayal. There is no space in the tent for genocidal policies.

Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives. It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

Meet Samantha - and several other, less popular Goth weirdos - in Shadows Over Ravenkirk!

Finished Shadows over Ravenkirk, by @itsviviactually.bsky.social. Awesome horror novella! I, of course, wish it were considerably longer, but I guess if you put enough novellas together you get one chonk, and I will *definitely* be checking out the rest...

Hey do you want to invite to bluesky a dude you didn't like that you had to email sixteen times for work five years ago even though it should have been one or two emails max, and you're pretty sure he's bigoted about SOMETHING but you didn't get to know him enough to find out? Well good news!

Continuing to make bold advances in the field of Things No One Wants.

I love that every defense of AI starts with, "Look, I get that everyone hates AI and it's horrible and makes the world worse and no one asked for it or wants it and it's destroying entire industries and also the planet, but...."

[tune of Walk Like an Egyptian]

Some of y'all act like GenAI is a natural thing that we have to live with, like earthquakes and hurricanes, instead of a technology that requires a vast infrastructure which is expected to turn a profit eventually You stop paying for the infrastructure and it goes away Whither NFTs, my good bitch?

I know what this time of year is like. I'm asking for help only if you can spare it from wverything else you've got going on, but if you can, it'd be much appreciated: paypal.me/tormentedart...

This is one of the things that gets me every time somebody is like "well if you stop buying games that use AI you won't be buying any new games!" and like buddy have you SEEN my backlog I don't HAVE to buy any new games for the rest of my life!

Going into 2026 like...

Please take a minute to contact your representatives against these bills! Dems can't be trusted to do the right thing without immense grassroots pressure.

Learn the rules so well that you come out the other side looking haggard and cackling that there are no rules, the rules are a lie perpetuated by a hierarchal society.

I'm taking a training that included this slide, and it must have taken the instructors a long time to find a stock photo of a person who contains all the genders.
