Meta is an evil company. I know people like Instagram but imo Zuckerberg is as bad as Musk www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

Beautiful afternoon at the local nature preserve.

Was teetering on the edge of DNFing a recent horror release and then the author confuses veracity with voracity and now I'm fully out.

New book release!! A Dark Whimsy is a contemporary dark fantasy tale of horror and magical realism set in the forest. Tagline: Sometimes you should just stay out of the woods. Please check it out! Link in comments.

Time for a post oral surgery, high on opiates screening of Frankenstein.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

The UC Regents finally released the “settlement agreement” the Trump administration proposed in August. It’s a doozy. UC alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, donors—and all citizens of California: Now is the time to let the UC Regents know you do not want them to sign this bad deal.

I'll be one of those NSS authors. I still don't know what I'm going to read.

Happening TODAY! If you're in the area, come out and see me and other very cool #horror authors at 11:00 AM (in just a few hours) at the Sacramento Public Library! We've got some juicy readings lined up for you. 🖤👻📚

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Suburbs showing up. Elk Grove, CA #NoKings

Hilarious that Republicans are calling “No Kings” anti-America when the whole point of the United States of America is literally NO KINGS.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Enjoying a quiet, rainy morning with the literary hijinks of Pynchon.

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

For one, the federal government cannot constitutionally commandeer state officials to do its bidding. But more importantly, the president does not see his political opposition as legitimate but rather as a target for a carceral and militaristic state. It is deeply undemocratic and authoritarian.

Today is Day 7 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House. 2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA. 3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

Live shot of downtown Portland. You gotta really squint to see the flames, smoke, and rampant insurrection.

On 10/25/25, Meet the Not-So-Spooky Authors of HWA Sacramento as we give readings and answer questions, in partnership with the Sacramento Public Library. It's going to be a frighteningly good time, with readings from @marksteensland.bsky.social @highway62.bsky.social @michaeljriser.com & many more!

"War-ravaged" Portland today... #WarRavagedPortland

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Met Keith Rosson tonight and had his books signed, so that was fuckin' cool.

They've lost the 9yos

A couple more polish passes and this novelette will finally be complete and ready for first readers.

Here’s the thing. Disney can’t fix this simply by taking a mulligan on Kimmel—he was a symbol for the larger issue. Disney’s larger mistake was bending knee to fascism, and the only way to build back is with equal or greater force in the opposite direction: using their cash to oppose fascism.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This is amazing.

SACRAMENTO! SEE YA NEXT FRIDAY AT @bloodstonebookshop.bsky.social!

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Talk with friends and family. Let them know that Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and X will no longer be safe—that the Trump regime is attacking free speech in this country, and the oligarchs that own those platforms are helping with it.

Cancel your streaming services and let them know why.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

YO CALIFORNIA our state was recently downgraded among safest states for trans people and trans youth YOU can help make it better right now follow the quoted link, established by @lalgbtcenter.bsky.social, and tell our elected officials to sign these bills into law ASAP 👇

I finished reading Moonflow moments ago and must say that it is very, very good. This is a trip you want to take.

TikTok will officially become a surveillance tool for the Trump regime and its billionaire backers. Larry Ellison helped build the detention and surveillance state in China via his company—Oracle—and now he’ll do it here. Spread the news, tell your friends, and encourage everyone to delete TikTok.
