Billy Bragg in my head this morning. The factories are closing and the army's full I don't know what I'm going to do But I've come to see in the Land of the Free There's only a future for the chosen few #NowPlaying #MusicSky youtu.be/nT3-WcDI6EA?...

Let's say you wanted to help out a small press writer without having to spend any money. You COULD request their book from your local library. Neither of my books are currently carried by my local libraries (BCPL or Enoch Pratt). AMERICAN ANIMISM: 978-1960329714 BODIES IN BAGS: 978-1968148355

DITTO with Henry Selick.

You can't fool me. That's Jack the Ripper!

DO IT RIGHT NOW.

The media has helped Conservatives spread the message that their religion is the only one that counts for so long, now progressive people and groups struggle to believe that there are leftist people of faith and that we are excellent allies in the work.

But we chopped up the potato later and fed the crew.

Next vacation, @cordialwombat.bsky.social?

Obligatory (but I don't like it either)

Here's an antiprime link to my novel Kalivas! gimmicked to support Book & Mortar of Mount Sinai, Long Island (my sister's favorite bookstore!) bookshop.org/p/books/kali...

And hey, you can bop over here and grab the NEGATIVE GIRL audiobook if that's your thing!

My novels NEGATIVE GIRL and THE BIG REWIND are both part of the sale, so now is a good time to pick them up (if you haven't already)

👀 OK, so this is SO EXCITING because a) this is the first novella I have ever worked on as editor, and b) this vampire story knocked my socks off when I read it in slush, and I love it SO fiercely. Get your pre-orders in right now! 🦇

TRUE STORY my husband & I just did a bike trip for our 11th wedding anniversary!

I'm a passionate person. I care a fucking lot. I've always been this way. It's just how I'm wired. I want to help people. I want justice. I want kindness. I want compassion. I can't meet every need I see. But I can do SOMETHING. Each of us can do SOMETHING. Be kind. Take action. We've got this.

Bad Criterion Closet video: [generic crap about how great or important the movies are] Good Criterion Closet video: “my ex boyfriend liked this video, what an asshole” / “this movie has a really ugly kid in it” / “Kurosawa knew how to shoot asses” [recalls specific ass] / etc.

I just ordered Mamie Van Doren's YOU THOUGHT I WAS DEAD and Gretchen Soren's DRIVING WHILE BLACK!

Great article by @jennaschmenna.bsky.social on querying. You don’t need money, an MFA, a million followers, or insider connections. You just need a manuscript that connects with the right agent. That’s it! open.substack.com/pub/jennasat...

Shit, @housleydave.bsky.social, he's onto us.

Day Two of VIVIANA VALENTINE GETS HER MAN: June 22nd It should be noted that June 22nd is the introduction of THE SAILOR-STRIPED DRESS (Which is actually this particular vintage 1940s Simplicity pattern) It's not too late for a read-along: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/711852...

I'm so sorry for doing this to you but it's like the tape from the ring where I need to make others see it or I will die.

The best poem I've ever written was about BURN NOTICE www.barrelhousemag.com/online-lit/t...

DISCLOSURE DAY is pretty good

Happy Father’s Day.

Paid extra to tour the U-505 at the Museum of Science & Industry

Happy Father's Day from all y'alls daddeh youtu.be/ZFUVf66Ml58?...

What is the most Steely Dad song and why is it "Kid Charlemagne?"

Put Grogu in SIN CITY you cowards

It is INTERNATIONAL HORSESHOE CRAB APPRECIATION DAY Perhaps YOU would appreciate my horseshoe crab story, "Nothing Left But Mud," via Sword and Kettle Press! swordandkettle.itch.io/nothing-left...

Something cool about World Cup and Knicks fever that we will surely forget quickly is that there is real, deep joy to be found in collective experiences and face-to-face human contact and serendipitous encounters w/ strangers irl. Ironically I realized all this while online 😭 But my point stands

The jellyfish and I made it to NPR! Check it out to learn if you should read my debut at the beach or not...

Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight!

I don't know, you had him last!

My favorite background detail is that there are MULTIPLE officers trying to take down Ronnie & it's just NOT happening. He's like Godzilla.

I ACTUALLY STARTED BAWLING. YES, AGAIN. theshatteredshield.libsyn.com/episode-88-f...

YO @authorizedmusings.bsky.social is coming over to my house for pizza and we are going to finish THE SHIELD.

SECONDED

After four years of work in secret, today the news is out: I adapted Cassandra Peterson's memoir into a 150 page graphic novel. It features incredible work from Mariano Benitez-Chapo, and tells the story of Cassandra's long and winding road to Elvira. Take a look! bleedingcool.com/comics/elvir...

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

Do you think Billings reads @rexparker.bsky.social's column?

Donald Fagen-esq, thanks for asking. youtu.be/Pw79PnIOoZI?...

Under no circumstances should you send this image to @theptessadactyl.bsky.social, she's very sensitive about this subject.

I wrote this! I just shared it on the Hole subreddit and tagged Courtney on my IG stories and I hope everyone is cool with it

Ronnie Gardocki can GET. IT. @jmargotcritch.bsky.social will tell you that much.

“He just plays video games so I have to do all the laundry, cooking, etc” No? You don’t? You can wash your clothes and not his. You can clean off one spoon and eat a microwaved cup-a-soup and then go out to the bar with friends. What am I missing here?
