I am so tired of people equating "edge" with "good" writing, and people implying I can't be a serious writer because of the things I love. Bradbury himself inoculated himself early against such foolishness. Love what you love. Write what you love. Tell everyone else to fuck the fuck off.

have we tried putting glue traps around the white house perimeter

An Eldritch Spookster for this spooky season.

Scream us a song, you're the Piano Man A song from the darkness beneath With your piano wire hair and your soul-chilling stare And your eighty-eight black and white teeth

She hath risen.

The Spear Cuts Through Water

boundaries are important. this includes with work and partners. if your job or the love of your life can't understand that they don't own you? time to walk. no employer or lover gets 100% of you.

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition. Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back

You don't have to get less angry as you get older. That's why you have to drink more water. It's coolant for the rage

We're $301 from our reprints stretch goal! If we hit that, every issue will include a reprint of a queer story no longer available online. Help us archive queer stories and support queer creators in a time of censorship! Learn more about our plans here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

Have struggled with this and it definitely took several years to come to the realization that I just need to write the things I need even if it's more difficult. But that realization has been incredibly freeing

Feeling a powerful need for waffles this morning

Are you... are you part of the *homo-sexual underground*?

Okay so we've had trans rights but what about TRANS WRONGS??? Murder! Blood magic! Kissing! Monsters!

If this also sounds like you, The Wards Will Fall is a fantasy novel releasing October 27, 2025 as a weekly serial through my newsletter featuring a bi dude in a mm situationship!

This is also how you can trap me fyi

Y'all should go read this book, I'm serious

Bearded vultures continue to be the best

We’re not suppose to live like this. It is exhausting.

The toasty cloud is content

I think people lose the nuance of the word horror, inferring it means essentially, a jump scare lol. A very narrow definition when the reality is horror itself is a wide word that encompasses a vast depth of complex emotion

i haven't seen anyone else post it yet, but it's The Day

Canned espresso martini and Hades 2 time

Everything I write has some elements of horror, I think. However my most recent horror SF short story is probably my 'most' horror so far - a reproductive pregnancy horror from the pov of a trans man forced into becoming a generational spaceship

Decided to get back into the plowdragons wip this morning after a few weeks off to focus on TWWF edits. I'm pretty happy with this morning's words! Still untangling these first few chapters I drafted that I was unhappy with the pacing. It's all starting to look a lot better.

good excuse for me to once again yell at you to read Rakesfall

Going to be very glad when these evening classes are done. My free time is approximately zero

My books will smell like cheeto dust and grape-scented markers from the 90s. The pages will be sticky with the regretful ghost of stale popcorn butter.

@isbergillustration.bsky.social did such an amazing job on the newsletter dragon I'm in love with it so muchhhh

I wish anything I've written was published to submit to this, but ALAS. One day maybe if I'm lucky. But if you have something that qualifies you should check it out.

going to start using the equivalent of “a writer’s writer” for everything—“an abyss’s abyss,” “the twins’ twins,” “the absolute fucker’s absolute fucker”

Really excited for this, can't wait to read some cool stories from Otherside in the next few years

Finished is better than perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Finished is better than perfect. Finished is betterTHANAAAAAAAAAAAAG

Under my administration we captured 3 gray aliens and 2 green

My friend surprised me with this little bag and I love it to bits

Do y'all like brisket

This looks like a ton of fun! I don't have time this year with all my other projects but if you're looking for a little structure and support drafting, maybe check this out

Still feeling incredibly honored that my fave food cart made a hot dog special for me

writing filthy, nasty queer porn is an act of resistance. drawing/painting filthy, nasty queer porn is an act of resistance. creating anything and everything in this vein is resistance. the sanitation of fandom is directly related to fascism and puritanism— fight back! fuck censorship!

Good, if depressing, piece on the industry here.

Anyway, evergreen

Help cee if you can, they are great and wonderful and this job elimination stuff is steaming garbage

Hecate's abs

The horrors persists but so do the terrors
