I abominate this man. May his lies turn to ashes in his mouth. May the hate he turns on all who are not like him rebound a hundredfold upon him. May his bones be crushed. May his name be forgotten.

May we say nothing of him and his beliefs but the one true, weighty, meaningful thing: this man is trying to kill children. May we not pretend it matters what he lies. This man is trying to kill children. What else is worth saying after that?

I've just got one program item at this year's @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social , a reading in hour 20, 8:00 am eastern for me. I'll be reading some of the opening sections of my in-progress novel manuscript, Killing the Year King, a neolithic Irish fantasy, and talking about the book and its sources.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

We wonder if the sun will warm us clean or hide his gold from this presumption. And there will be another one in my newsletter at the end of the month. www.rkduncan-author.com/signup

Now we who have eaten the silver moon still cannot sleep. We are too joyful drunken on her pearl sweetness, and the shine of her too bright upon our teeth to let us bide. She is cold fire in our guts, reflection sharp as a white knife when looking glass is dared.

I've been writing good poems this month We caught her in a mirror pool and dredged it with a spiderweb to drag her dreaming weight up to shiver, naked in the dark. We hunted her with shadow hounds whose teeth grew sharp against the light of skin fit to outshine jealous stars.

its just not defensible in 2025 for democratic candidates and officeholders not to have a clear position on asserting the equal rights of transgender americans. if you're unwilling, step aside and let a patriot take your place.

Every elected Democrat should be talking every day about what retribution will look like. People want payback. And they aren’t wrong to want it. Tell them how you’re going to give it to them. Be explicit. It will get them to the polls better than a zillion egghead policy promises.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Been seeing this one a lot and thinking about it, and I've realized what I was having trouble articulating to myself. Not understanding: fantastic, fine, no problem. Not knowing what's happening, like unclear action or blocking: instant risk of dnf. 1/2

Brad Lander's comment during the NYC primary that people view Dems as either "fight" or "fold" people is the best characterization of how lose -- this is a fold strategy, and people want their candidates to fight for them, not step on their necks trying to reach across the aisle.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

hey i'm currently disabled due to a minor motorcycle accident plus ongoing burnout, so maybe buy my solo ttrpg? hbbisenieks.itch.io/all-our-yest...

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

What is the most batshit, least discussed, most potentially-a-dream-only-you-had show of your childhood? Mine is the Mighty Ducks cartoon where they were anthro ducks from an alternate dimension hockey planet called Puck World.

Contract signed, I am happy to announce that my story "A Toast to the Knights of the Trowly Wood" will appear in a future issue of @oldmoonquarterly.bsky.social

No, word, I did not mean 'goal,' and if you disrespect my taste for linguistic archaism by auto-correcting 'gaol' again, I will be strait with you.

As always, when my grand-niblings ask what the second American civil war was about, I will tell them it was ethics in games journalism.

I'm so fucking sick of all the performative media chest beating over a vile little fascist when school kids [all over the nation, really, but particularly] in Colorado right now are being injured, killed, and traumatized by the continued epidemic of guns in this county that fucking loser *promoted*.

Hey, so you know that thing where we're not ignoring Charlie Kirk's bigotry just because he's dead? Let's also not ignore GFM's history of leading racist hate brigades just because she got fired over some bullshit. She's done more than enough harm to forfeit my sympathy for good.

I went and reread this because I'm working on a new poem that is also about eating the moon, and damn this one is really good. kaleidotrope.net/archives/win...

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

Dang, bird actually shit on me as I was walking. Don't think that's ever happened to me before.

Let’s all practice, shall we? “He was an evil man who did incalculable damage to our public life. Our task now is to make whole his victims and return to our values of truth, equality and justice, values he undermined at every turn.”

It's simple. They see themselves in him. They do not see themselves in his targets.

One of the major problems of our age is that Ezra Klein ascribes to Charlie Kirk a shared commitment to a free exchange of ideas which Charlie Kirk manifestly and expressly did not hold.

You can say that political violence is bad, Id agree. Yet there are some people on the left that are trying to portray the nazi that bit the dust as something else or pay their respects and it is embarrassing. He perished due to the hate he fueled constantly.

Trying to murder hundreds of thousands of children by preventing them from being vaccinated against deadly diseases is also political violence.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

I will add to this: is the violence being done by ICE and the troops sent into Democratic cities not political? Is the violence of immigration detention and deportation not political violence? If this was your Rubicon, it's not political violence you detest, it's a white man being shot on TV.

About to take the pot roast out and start on the gravy, once the mashed potatoes come off the big burner.
