Excellent thread for those of us who need context and/or sleep late and always miss the news.

Oh, what the actual fuck.

This guy like "I've always wanted to be a marathoner, but I didn't want to run long distances. But now, with the help of this handy SUV, I'm crossing finish lines like there's no tomorrow! 😁"

8-1? *8-1?* Justice Jackson is the ONLY judge on the bench who dissented? 🤬

Part Three of this fantastic roundup of Favorite Resilient Female Characters in Horror! Loved having the opportunity to take part, and much thanks to @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social for all the great work she does in organizing these roundups and events for Women in Horror month. 🖤

I will only say that Star Trek is both inherently political and delightfully goofy as hell, and that is why we love it so. 💜

Disappointed I couldn't make the No Kings protest today, but looking at the turnout across the nation, at least, has been pretty great.

Me to my Want to Read button on GR.

Since March is Women in Horror month, I've been having an especially lovely time reading horror books written by women. Today's books by @silviamg.bsky.social, @mlrio.bsky.social, Vanessa F. Penney, and Cheon Seon-Ran.

As someone who really dislikes TSA, the average TSA bully wants to pull you out of line, waste an hour of your day, get to be big man on campus for 60 min and then send you on your way. The ICE guy wants to shoot you in the face. Different vibe

A thing about me is, for good or for ill, if the shipping cost exceeds the cost of the item, I simply cannot make myself buy said item. It vexes me so.

Farscape, my beloved. 😍

I'm not regularly disappointed in politicians. I am regularly furious, but disappointment requires a certain amount of surprise. I am incredibly disappointed by @warren.senate.gov today. And you know. Also furious.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid

OOOH. 👀

Rhythm is too hard to spell. That's it. That's the post.

I saw this post a month ago and laughed out loud. Now that I'm catching up on Season 4 of The Traitors, I had to go back and find it again.

I'm sorry, it has DECLINED?

Congrats to all the wonderful finalists!

If you're fat and you used to fly Southwest, I'd advise you to book with someone else from now on. #flyingwhilefat

Me (writing): My emerald green jumpsuit Microsoft Word: It is best to add a comma between these two adjectives. Me: ...

Listen, you can’t just attack me like this. 😂

🤬🤬🤬

Body camera video obtained by CBS News in the Ruben Ray Martinez case confirms another example of the Trump administration misrepresenting lethal action from immigration agents. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I would very much like to see The Will Darling Adventures by KJ Charles on my television screen. I think this would give me great comfort in these exceedingly dark times. Also, The Midnight Shift by Cheon Seon-ran would make a hell out of a queer occult K-drama.

We have only 61 stories submitted for WHAT ELEGANT STARS so far. I suppose a lot of folks will submit in the last month, but that still seems low. Though the theme is more specific than some previous ones, so folks are less likely to have anything ready to go. www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

In lieu of a newsletter, I present this blog post, in which I discuss balancing out the very good stress of getting a literary agent—which, still happy dancing about, tbh—with the very low stakes of variety/reality TV.

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!

New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:

Fascinating if frequently infuriating (read the quotes) reading!

Black Christmas: Juliet Capulet and her sorority sisters, Lois Lane and Sister Andrea, get creepy phone calls from a killer hiding inside the house. Lt. Donald Thompson investigates and suspects Juliet's awful boyfriend, Dave from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed

holy hell

Decided to try and catch up on some news. Regretting this choice, obviously.

If there was video of a Senate Dem giving a compound fracture to a Marine while wearing his dress blues, that guy would've been burned at the stake by close of business

Finished watching Agents of Mystery, Season 2. Netflix recommends Bridgerton. Yes, truly, a natural pairing.

Absolutely thrilled to announce that I'm now represented by @luciennediver.bsky.social!! I'm working w/ her on a psychological horror novel about a woman's final road trip with her daughter—final, because she must hide her daughter's body before it can forever be exhibited in The Hall of Dead Wives.

this really does feel uhhhhh impeachable

Happy Women in Horror Month! Here's a roundup of some of the fabulous interviews, spotlight series, and events that are happening throughout March and beyond! www.gwendolynkiste.com/Blog/roundup...

Happy Women in Horror Month!

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this: I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

Over 80 people are dead at that elementary school, most of them children. What the actual fuck is wrong with you?

Facts

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

It's just a guess. But I suspect that famous South Korean actor Lee Min Ho did not, in fact, just follow me on Bluesky. 😂

I love Jaws. I truly do. —but my first thought, immediately, was Deep Blue Sea.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

the Rockford Peaches are one hundred percent partying with Flavor Flav instead

Ooh, what a great question. Some authors I've read *at least* 3 short stories by— @acwise.bsky.social @isabel.kim @lchanwrites.bsky.social @foxesandroses.bsky.social @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social @sillysyntax.bsky.social Sorry, Suzan, for disregarding your last rule, but needs must! 🤷‍♀️🖤
