Kinda forgot what it feels like to have some actual honest to goodness hope for this country

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

This is moving because he’s addressing our community— but it’s also so so good, like, technically in terms of pronunciation. The authenticity of this campaign is off the charts because there are so many of us, from all different backgrounds, so invested.

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

Phantasm 2 is a weirdass low budget delight and if you have 97 minutes and the ability to watch it, it might give you a little strength to go on

ICE shot a priest in the head with a pepperball. Just for kicks.

"Hey, it's the witching hour somewhere," I say, downing a glowing potion that transmogrifies me into a tall toad in a stovepipe hat.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

wizard frog is insane

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media. The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters. They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters. Israel is once again breaking international law

It's officially October 1st so that means you all have to repost Assorted cheese hell.....yes

your moment of calm

posters joking about charlie kirk were held to a higher standard than the wall street journal this week

The Wicker King is less quiet in the ember months.

The absurdity of "you sling words for a living, therefore you must become a video influencer" is becoming more and more salient

Love to find ways to make a draft more horrible and reflect on how many people will hate this MC for being kind of a mess but not in a cute way

Goddamnit I can NOT spell "desiccated"

EY you know the small joy of reading and loving a book w/o any foreknowledge, only to to find it's the first of a series, AND THEN discovering it came out in 2013 and there are four more??? (this is why I love the fuckin library and hate fuckin goodreads)

Holy shit. This turned off the bullshit Google AI results. I love it.

If your book is in this database of published material that was plagiarized without permission to shovel into the maw of AI (& it most likely is--I just checked & mine was there), add your information (title, publisher, ISBN number) to this attorney form to be part of a future class-action lawsuit.

I want to thank everyone who has read one of my books, who has written a review or blogged about it, who has told a friend, "You have to read this!", who has petitioned for their book club to pick it. Discoverability is currently almost impossible for authors. Spreading the word makes a difference.

Another great short SFF recommended reading list, and this one contains "Dear New Tenant" by @jaqevans.com from FF#25, plus TWO stories by FF staffers: "The Cut" by @sjp-ow.bsky.social and "What the Crab Apple Tree Near Miranda Spaceport Saw" by @elijah.mea.rs!

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Artist! Quote with your evil art 😱

"You really learn something about yourself in situations like that. For me, it was that I’m efficient under pressure, & something in me does not want to be swallowed by a wormhole or interdimensional portal into wherever they come from. But also, something in me does." Read @jaqevans.com's story⬇️

I save this for when people are you're not doing enough-ing. How many air conditioners could you run on 400,000 litres. (every 2 weeks) Billionaires are the threat. Not air-conditioning. And people seem to forget, that solar & wind actually power AC just fine.

Story #1 in FF#25 is "Dear New Tenant" by @jaqevans.com. Written as a letter from the outgoing tenant to the incoming, it provides helpful details on how to deal with the sisters who come out of the walls and try to pull you to the void.

So excited to be in Fusion Fragment again with this amazing group of writers! Get yer free weird fiction and scifi (or hey, if you can, maybe pay a lil bit too) right hereeee 👇

I want every ICE agent identified & shunned for the rest of their lives by civil society. I want people to cross the street when they approach. I want restaurants to refuse them service. I want their families to think twice about being seen with them. I want them to die alone & sad.

I don’t live in New York but some of you do, if you haven’t voted already, tomorrow’s the day

Last night, I had the privilege of delivering a keynote speech at the Locus awards. You can view the speech and read the full text here. stone-soup.ghost.io/hammer-speech/

reminder that the us did a coup in iran in 1953 when the cia and mi6 deposed the democratically elected prime minister of iran because he was nationalizing the oil fields which was bad for the predecessor to bp, who had been in charge since the end of wwii en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Ir...

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

I think instead of saying, "You'll be okay," we should be saying, "I'll fight for you" We don't have to drown everything in positivity, some shit sucks

Me: Satan, you better not be assuming a cunty pose on some rock in Hell. Satan:

yep! unpaywalled:

Stay hydrated, friends

Hey just so we’re clear - DOGE accessed and stole all of our data, gave it to Palantir, and now ICE is partnered with Palantir in order to track *all of us* Palantir is run by evil billionaire Peter Thiel. Truly, scarily evil.

AND YES this makes me sound like an asshole and tbh I feel like an asshole posting it. But it's really exhausting to have this conversation so many fucking times.

I know a lot of people who still use the "it's like the calculator!" logic, because (and sorry but) they aren't writers, and they aren't doing much reading either.

Help Jonathan Joss' husband. A GFM has been set up: gofund.me/58c2e16d

i love when the intro of a horror game is like "for best experience play at night with the lights out and headphones on" nice try. you're not getting my ass that easy. i'm playing with every damn light in my apartment on
