I will absolutely never impersonate a writer by playing with slop machines. If you read me you're getting the full meat & brain experience, flaws and all.

hey, would you consider doing me, personally, a solid and help Michelle out so she can eat? It'd mean a lot. Even a share would be amazing, thank you <3

This one took a while to write. Put out an essay about the links between fandom and consumerism, and its effect on how we interpret fiction. Hope y'all enjoy!

Something that deeply bothers me about the AI discussion is that it is not often framed around those who are doing the exploitation and getting even more rich and powerful from it. These are elites who have always found ways to do exactly this, especially to marginalized ppl.

To me, it's a bigger systematic issue and always has been. If it's not AI it will be something else, and it has already been many other things--slavery, Jim Crow, theft of land and murder of native peoples, the coolie system, indentured servitude, imperialism, sweat shops--I could go on forever.

It's the gospel of wealth in action. The system has been rigged all along. If we don't work to change our societies' values about not just art, but labor, poverty, and racism, if we don't change societies to value shared humanity above profit--we will always have something like this.

Oh…oh god. oh dear lord. Oh no oh no oh NO

UNITE IN SPITE SPENDING DISABUSE THE POWERFUL OF THEIR INTENDED THEFT MAKE THEM WRITHE BENEATH THE ROCKS THEY HIDE BELOW oh hai @johnmitchinson.bsky.social yep this is about you

I would love if we could make the audiobook of my novel a big success as a big fuck you to Unbound/Boundless

If anyone wants a copy but is short on funds, I’ve got plenty of libro.fm credits to spend on gifting it to folks.

We often rightfully scoff at white men with opinions. But Tichy rarely misses.

A restaurant where the gimmick is every dish is meant to simulate how some other animal eats. There is a dessert meant to be eaten in the manner of an aardvark tearing through the concrete-tough shell of a termite mound, an entree on table that moves around at 30mph, etc.

@fastpuck.bsky.social + @itsnero.com + @beleghir.bsky.social + @subvertebra.bsky.social have been FANTASTIC collaborators through this! We've all been very hard at work to bring this event to life and I really hope it can become a bastion for transgressive gay sex art and all the people who love it!

Last summer, itchio deleted 2 of my books and made my nsfw work impossible to search for! I no longer make any money there unless I'm in a huge bundle. This is why I started @ddmarket.online !Our very first bundle goes live in 2 days and it RULES. Support taboo creators against censorship! 🔞 🗣️

We have to separate work from the author: books go in the paper bin and author in the organic waste bin.

Max is juuuuuust over the 50% mark in her goal and really needs the help, please sling her a couple bucks if you can 💖

my brother-in-gore Nick Cutter is clearing out his parents' basement. 100% of the proceeds from every autographed book will go to The Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre—whose mandate is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release turtles native to the Ontario region. we do love turtles. nickcutter.com

This book sits in my head, torturing my thoughts. Worst of all, it isn't all pitch black, I think. There is a belonging in metamorphosis Koch seems to be telling us about.

Forgive my happy tears over this. September will be my 11th year studying, lecturing, & writing about women’s trauma in horror & I can’t thank enough the Horror Writers Association enough for this honor. Many thanks to Matt Rogerson at 1428 Publishing for the space to write about trauma so deeply. 💋

Since there no alt text: Screenshot of a brick building with red smoke billowing from the chimney. The op comments, "They've chosen a new pope to cook." I have been laughing for two days.

I wrote about Evil Dead (2013) for Horror Mode and I'd love it if you gave it a read! Now, hopefully, without being dunked on by Bluesky's labeler! horrormode.com/no-heaven-ev...

They've chosen a new pope to cook.

It is my birthday in exactly one week and unfortunately I will never be one of the mythical, well-fed 5 under 35 writers You can lessen this deep ache by reading either of my two books or, if you already have one or hell, both, writing a review and/or telling your friends (if you enjoyed yourself)

A reminder that some people have praised this book effusively. Others have been baffled by it. Sometimes these are the same people. weirdpunkbooks.square.site/product/the-...

"Aberration" remains my best (although incomplete) mission statement. this was the story that made think, for the first time in my adult life, "maybe i can do this 'writing' thing." it's a milestone more than a favorite. i can never replicate the painful, satisfying growth of writing this one.

Take me back; take me here.

Would he tell me that this door leads to the castle?

There are no filler characters in what I write, and no filler scenes, descriptions, asides, conversations, or events. I have done the editing for you! Everything on the page is intentional! And exposure to art as it is, art that wasn't made just for you, will challenge and delight you. Let it.

Pleased to announce I've got a brand new story in May's issue of The Dark Magazine. www.thedarkmagazine.com/mercy/

There's a common shield bug in the US often called a "stink bug" and they are, in fact, extremely attentive and nurturing mothers, in case you weren't aware.
