Time for a reminder

I told you guys

It's a good, common sense solution. Happy Friday the 26th (13 x 2)!

@victoriastrauss.com #writingcommunity This is a warning about an AI scam site SIGILMARK. The FB page & website was set up in Aug 25 These are supposed to be 'real' authors who use Sigilmark. AI gen book ARCs are being sent out via Booksirens relating to the fake profiles.

hi, cis folks! do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we! please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

An AI generated book, which is 100% generated by AI, has almost 5 stars and over 1,000 reviews total. I wanna quit 🫠 This is bleak.

It’s such bullshit that raising children is basically behind a paywall because things that SHOULD be free (childcare, school lunches, health care, formula/breastfeeding classes) all cost money. We live in a capitalist hellhole that values “affording” a child more than caring for one.

Just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month, my review of “Fever Dreams of a Parasite” by Pedro Iniguez. This strange, surreal collection of stories full of eldritch horrors focuses on themes such as Capitalism, bodily autonomy, and the immigrant experience. diversityhorror.com/2025/09/22/f...

Tomorrow is Mark Patton's birthday. He's still on the road to recovery and still needs assistance. If you're able to please support and share.

When I was in middle school, I had a crush on a girl whose favorite movie was Titanic. So, to impress her, I wrote an outline for a sequel called Titanic 2. This is what happened.

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Aramis is taking her morning nap, dreaming about all the murders she wants to commit. First on the list is my wife, who was pulling out her bunny butt tufts and clipped her deadly bunny claws.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Writing is art. Publishing is a business. They are not the same

The only way I could possibly be excited for a remake of SLEEPAWAY CAMP, a movie I love, is with a trans writer, director, and cast.

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

Post a horror movie everyone should see. #movies #moviesky #horror #horrorsky 🎬 💀

Black women are telling you not to register to attend a protest because we have parents and family and friends and church folks who survived the Civil Rights movement and in some cases didn’t And also because we read and in some cases do historical work But hey if you wanna listen to random dude

Asking for an author’s book at a library is a wonderful thing to do. The library buys the book, maybe even multiple copies, which really does help authors. A simple request can spread a lot of good around. Also I just love libraries and I’m always happy when someone checks out one of my books. 📚

Two new Heartdrum books are now available! JO JO MAKOONS: SUPER-SCARY SLEEPOVER by Dawn Quigley & Tara Audibert (Heartdrum, Sept. 16, 2025). Ages 7+ THE OTHERS by Cheryl Isaacs & Britt Newton (Heartdrum, 2025). Ages 13+ @harperkids.bsky.social @nwlibrarylady.bsky.social

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

"hey did you finish that penny dreadful illustration for Frankenstein yet?" "sure did, mista Dicks. Real fuckin sexy, just like you asked."

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.
