ICE just bought this building in Romulus to turn it into a detention center. In a matter of months, this could turn into a place that ruins lives. All that money should be saving lives—through healthcare, housing, or infrastructure. Why the hell are we spending our tax dollars on this? ABOLISH ICE.

When this story first landed in front of me, I was struck by the strength of the imagery in it. It's not much like anything @hellitself.bsky.social has published before, but to say our tastes are eclectic would be an understatement. I enjoyed this one, and I hope you do, too.

Evening? New story. Read it already.

the video game industry is a mess

I've seen fans complaining that 'modern wrestlers are too weak and whine too much' or that taking time off to heal injuries is a bad thing. You're gonna see a lot more longevity in this gen because they take care of themselves. Not that it matters, they're people and deserve to be healthy.

It's technically after noon, so it's afternoon. I have a new story out now. You should check it out.

Because short stories should be inspired by 18 minute long songs. My latest story.

#wrestlesky 🤼‍♀️

New short story? Yep. New short story inspired by a Wolves in the Throne Room song? You bet your ass. Read my new story already. hellitself.com/i-will-lay-m...

Knowing WWE, they'll find a reason to induct him again.

Have journalists considered they enjoy Twitter more because their "unbiased journalism" is really closer aligned with the bigotry there? Im kidding. It's definitely the audience and not you🥰

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Unsurprisingly, and to no intelligent end, that second paragraph that was specifically chosen to be separated from the first one by the Department of State is 14 words long. They're fuckin' Nazis.

Sure: Light rail, high speed rail, ocean wave generation, solar power generation, wind generation, heat pump tech, geothermal heat pump tech, last mile on-demand transit solutions, better wheelchairs, better wheel chair lifts, better flexible seating on public transit, maker spaces, tool libraries.

Lol I love it. AI dweebs have done it. They've destroyed the industries needed for them to exist.

There's probably a point when an author gets featured as a mainstay (good for them, real talk, seize your moment) when you gotta stop claiming they're a fresh new voice or whatever.

It’s been a rough day for me but I see I have a bunch of new followers. Welcome! You can see my bio for info on me and my Linktree. Other than that I have a new book just out. Find out more here: www.starsandsabers.com/books/shoesh...

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

That’s right!!!

Brody King, who's in the main event of #AEWDynamite, fighting MJF for a shot at the AEW Men's World Championship, has just raised $58,000 for people affected by ICE in Minneapolis. Earlier, he raised over $35K for families affected by ICE in Los Angeles FUCK ICE CHANTS ON #AEWDYNAMITE FUCK YES

One wrestling company: Has a huge event in Saudi Arabia after their most visible exec is pandering on Fox News for RFK. The other one: Fans chant 'fuck ICE' while a dude who wore that shirt in Mexico and donated proceedings from the sale to charity and then he chokes the bad guy out.

NO KINGS BUT BRODY KING

Found a box of CDs in my garage tonight and have been ripping 'em to FLAC because you know and I'm reminded of how great Amorphis was. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi7r...

My favorite thing to do is make extremely clear political statements in my author newsletter and then count the unsubscribes of folks hanging on who get big mad at it.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

The coordinates of Epstein's island are about 18.300, -64.821. JK Rowling has owned the yacht Samsara (MMSI #319068100) since sometime in 2023. The table below shows when her yacht visited the area. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and remember: There's always another secret :)

I like that these were the people claiming this man was a supergenius who could do no wrong, and now he's a toddler who doesn't understand his own actions.

Are you kidding me?

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Boy, they just radicalized that kid for life, huh? Pigs, man. Pigs.

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

every epstein commentary is these immensely rich/powerful/influential people raving about what a genius epstein was, and every one of his emails is just “helo, my name jomfrie”

Must be difficult to be a WWE fan with a conscience.

Five classes in college, eh? I don't remember the exact titles or levels other than my favorite lit theory was 202 (post modernism). 1. Literary Theory 2. Holocaust Literature 3. Modern American Literature 4. Middle Eastern Anthropology 5. Figure Drawing

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

The funniest part is I can't think of anyone other than like top few percent of working writers who meet these qualifications. They basically want Kim Stanley Robinson or John Scalzi to work for them for $40/hr. Truly deranged.

The audio poison pill is that with headphones and IEMs being competent with EQ eliminates the need to have a wall of different devices. Get a nice set close to your preferences and chances are with minor tweaks they're perfect.

... Wtf

I definitely can agree with the fact that I got through my however many years and many writing workshops in school and nobody really ever bothered to teach 'here's how you plot a novel' at all. You get left to the dry, mechanical breakdowns that make plotting seem like a miserable experience.

If you're nominating for the Rhysling, Nebula, or Hugo, I hope you'll consider some of my queer, dark, fantastical poetry! Check out the thread for links, and feel free to DM me if you're interested in reading a work that isn't free online.
