about to have a woman moment✨

Today, I'm kicking off the Emergency Trans Meal Fund (in beta). In short, if you're a trans hungry person in dire straits, I want to order your dinner. (Limit: 2 per week). Blog with more info: www.patreon.com/posts/announ... Form to request a meal: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Did you know my bookclub is currently reading Cry, Voidbringer? Come join us! Here are my thoughts on the first quarter of the book! Sign up and enjoy my weekly blogs on our current reads!

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

We can win. The last 10 months have been horrifying. But we didn't give up. We didn't cower. Tomorrow there is still so much work to do but we got this. Tonight celebrate our wins big and small. Hold onto the hope you're feeling right now & roll up your sleeves! WE FUCKING GOT THIS

FUCKING VOTE

If you ever need a second pair of eyes on that substack email, or a beta reader who will give honest, thorough, and kind feedback, or a sensitivity reader who knows all books can benefit from sensitivity reads, I hope you’ll consider booking with me ♥️ forms.gle/2HWY6s2YhNYb... #AuthorSky #BookSky

Did someone say candles? AND it’s a Black woman owned company?? Not to mention the added bonus of getting an ARC of Left Unread Books next publication?? Count me in! #booksky #giveaway

That reminds me that I still need to pre-order the audiobook! Once I do that, I’ll have it in EVERY format (plus an extra physical copy to do a giveaway soon) #booksky

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

NEW 📗! PERSONA by Aoife Josie Clements (@ravineangel.bsky.social) In which a trans woman discovers porn of herself she has no memory of making, only to find herself led to an unimaginably deeper evil "The year's great work of literary horror." —Gretchen Felker-Martin (@scumbelievable.bsky.social)

Hey I love trans people

My heart is swelling at the show of community today! I can hear the chanting, yelling, horns honking from my new balcony and see soooo many people marching down the street just a couple of blocks away. I’m moving today, otherwise I’d be there joining in! #NoKings #Colorado

I didn’t grow up reading books and live a life as an avid reader just to not do anything today at 49 years old. I'll be in my State's capitol with fellow Americans and then to a library event celebrating HORROR! 📚✊🚫👑

578/600 💙📚🪐📚 📖: Cry, Voidbringer by Elaine Ho Genre: Fantasy Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/5 Thoughts: Excellent take on confronting oppressive systems. Still processing through it.

Book recommendations for Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Read today & all year! Alt text for text

It's cool and sexy to read books and hate fascism.

Gee, I wonder why people went from calling me a queer horror author to a cosmic horror author. The fun part is how few were on purpose (Worm trilogy + Game in Yellow) vs how much is cosmic by accident because I'm a weirdo (the rest of it 😅) Nonetheless, make horror gay AF 🌈 including cosmic horror

Reading Rainbow… is back! 🥹 This LeVar Burton/Reading Rainbow raised human is feeling all of the library joy. We hope your kids believe they belong in books, just like you ✨ Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋🌌 youtu.be/gHAIjSkmnYI?...

Fave Five: New Queer Adult Horror, 2025 Edition, Part I The Faceless Thing We Adore by Hester Steel We Are Always Tender With Our Dead by Eric LaRocca Moonflow by Bitter Karella You Weren't Meant to Be Human by Andrew Joseph White Blood on Her Tongue by Johanna van Veen Bonus: These are all…

Current Mood:

Oooh I forgot! HAPPY MEAN GIRLS DAY if that’s your jam 💕💕

I paid out royalties to our authors today, and I'm reminded again just how much more they make from purchases directly through our store vs. Am*zon. Like, multiple dollars more per paperback purchase. It's wild! Anyway, pick up a rad horror/Weird fiction book here: www.cursedmorselspress.com

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

Good on Denver Public Library employees for trying to unionize and even better that it's coming amid the city's brutal budget cuts. denverite.com/2025/09/26/d...

Mychal being named the new host of Reading Rainbow is the best news and it's the best news that we all deserve. bookriot.com/new-host-of-...

New Horror in the Margins podcast drop! Pod People, your hosts both turned 40 this year, and we decided that called for celebration! We each picked one of our all-time favorite horror films to revisit. First, we discussed Nikki's pick, Alien, and now it's time to go low, low, low, low, low, low...

I’m listening to the audiobook right now (it’s narrated by the extremely talented Xe Sands) and whew, let me tell you… 🥵 I keep stopping it to compose myself AND because I don’t want it to end! Sarah Gailey is brilliant, as always! 10/10, no notes #AmReading #booksky #EroticHorror

How Lovely to Be a Woman: Stories and Poems by Tiffany Michelle Brown has to be one of my favorite collections of feminist horror, rage, and strange oddities. I’d say it’s the perfect horror anthology to start off your spooky reading season! You’ll also be supporting an indie author! ✍🏼 📚 #horror📚

Thrilled to see “How Lovely to Be a Woman” reaching new audiences! I adore this book. @tmbwrites.bsky.social has such a distinct, beautiful, strong, haunting voice and her stories have talons. A stunning collection by a stunning author.

#LateNightWrite I post all my poetry and blogs on my website (under the blogs section!) And I do freelance editing for fantasy, sci-fi, and queer romance! ottersediting.com

Black Speculative Fiction Month starts next week. Read/reserve/rec/preorder/buy accordingly

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this. I don’t view it as a Me problem.

Because 👁️ 💜 🐸 any day of the week 🤪

Still looking to raise $443 to get this South Carolina school a rad, diverse library. They currently do not have a collection for their high schoolers at all. Students are from the toughest backgrounds imaginable. www.donorschoose.org/project/alte...

Hey poets! Just a heads-up that The Fabulist will be opening a SPECULATIVE POETRY SUBMISSIONS WINDOW in late November. Woo! Details and links to come; meanwhile, sharpen yr quills, refresh the inkwell and start scratching on that vellum…

It's always "where the hell have you been loca" and never "WHY the hell have you been loca" and let me tell you there are so many reasons

I wrote the introduction for the Horror Writers Association's Latinx Heritage in Horror Month series. Please read it and the work of the authors we are celebrating all month. Thank you HWA for this opportunity. horror.org/an-introduct...

Hey! Who wants an ARC of my gay space horror? Its got eruri-coded boys, autism and ptsd rep, blood/guts/gore, and a rescue mission that goes really bad!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Behind on bills and I haven’t made many sales this month. If you could spare a buck or two or boost this post that would be amazing! 💸💕 ko-fi.com/beverlyannem...
