Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking to the California Writers' Club-Orange County Branch about connections and the author life. Amazing group, beautiful venue. (So yeah, I joined, too. Authors need authors!) #californiawriterscluborangecounty

My view this morning at the California Writers' Club-Orange County, just as I arrived. (By the time I spoke the upper level was lined with members and the bottom was packed, and I spoke from the middle terrace like Evita. I did not sing, I promise.) Wonderful morning, wonderful group! #booklife

Just spent the last 5 minutes wearing the eraser down to the nub because my 9-year-old was trying to write his "book review" on DIBS and a) he hasn't read it and b) he had it by "ALLISON HUBBARD" and that's *not* my pen name and really he should know better.

Have you pre-ordered THE NIGHT BIRDS? Don't forget to email me to receive a signed book plate and an autographed page from the manuscript itself!

imagine if the media treated the dismantling of the country the same way they treated a bad debate performance

I was thinking about doing a giveaway, but I don’t want to spend my whole marketing budget on just one thing…

Short story submission call! Opening June 1! From the minds of me and @mstevensonbooks.bsky.social comes ENTER HERE: An Anthology of Portals. It's an adult SFFH speculative anthology celebrating marginalized authors. More info on our website! #writing #WritingCommunity cjsubko.com/enter-here-a...

Feeling called out here (but nicely, I'm fine with it).

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

It wasn't immediately clear what legal authority Trump would have to execute his proposal, and they would likely be met by fierce resistance from Palestinians and from regional Arab countries.

ANGEL DOWN -- my insane, tumbling, one-sentence supernatural / horror / fantasy / war story -- can be pre-ordered *today* for 25% off at B&N. Do it! @atriabooks.bsky.social www.barnesandnoble.com/w/angel-down...

it's important to remember that black history isn't just about movements and towering figures. some of you are the first in your family to graduate, own a business, own a home, educate others, seek therapy, master a recipe, share your art, rest, come out a closet, etc. that is black history too.

And now he's playing with the water in my state. This is a terrible birthday present.

this is a man who said, about his own disabled nephew, “Maybe you should just let him die.” That’s who he is.

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

Any holiday not about straight white Christian men will be "paused."

Of course ICE is arresting Puerto Ricans now by “accident” because they were speaking Spanish is public. ¡Aquí se habla español, cabrones!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

My #2025motto Be like #moodeng. Become ungovernable.

This guy is slowly finding his voice again. When we adopted (half a litter cos we're fools) we didn't know he had been severely bitten on his throat. Within 2 weeks, ER vet visit to drain an abscess from the infection (which, see fur? We couldn't see anything.) Now he's slowly starting to meow!

Random disappointment: when the office admin asks if you have food allergies for the upcoming seminar and hope you're getting fed and then you remember it's a webinar. Gotta get my own snacks, I guess. (Yeah I still get excited for free food, OK? I like to eat.)

So after a lot of searching, I'm suggesting that creative/artistic types make some cool wall calendars for 2026. I haven't really found much in the way of calendars for 2025 and am bummed...especially since all the promising ones feature creators I don't want on my wall. Sigh.

Just a few hours until we go live on VOX VOMITUS podcst with Chella Courington, author and poet and all around amazing human, as we talk to her about her new feminist literary novel, JANET HALL. Hop over to the Vox Vomitus page on FB or YT www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycnK...

Excited to talk with our friend, author and poet, Chella Courington, about her new literary, feminist novel, JANET HALL today on Vox Vomitus! Join us LIVE on YouTube or the Vox Vomitus page on FB. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycnK...

Asking here for recommendations on any #creator who has an etsy shop or other store that has wall calendars for 2025 to share links here. Had one last year I loved and this year's sub box did a desk calendar. Not enough space on the desk *or* the calendar. Help!

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Any links to help those affected by the fires are also welcome! Sharing this slice of mayhem, monsters, dark magic, and revenge because every copy counts! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

Meta in 2021: We’re a vr metaverse company now Meta in 2024: We’re an AI company now Meta in 2025: please don’t leave facebook, we took away the gay shit and you can call those freaks “tranny” now

This is huge. California has already faced issues regarding insurers deciding we're uninsurable, mostly because of poor infrastructure like above-ground lines that are causing fires when we get the Santa Ana winds. (And I live right next to Santa Ana so...we get them a lot.) We need reform.

Last year I loved the wall calendar from a subscription box. This year's has a desk calendar🫤 I still need a wall calendar. Anyone know where I can get a bookish wall calendar? Last years' had beautiful artwork from recent books. Anyone know where I can get something similar? #bookthreads

Hey digital reading creatures, you can get super rabies and a song, SURVIVOR SONG, for $1.99 until 1/23. Available in all ebooking platforms.

If you're not interrupted from research to tear off duct tape to affix to a gas mask which is covering an inflatable disco ball which rests inside the hoodie portion of a child-sized hazmat suit, are you even working at home? #parentingthreads

The Lineup always has the fucking juice, man ❤️ the-line-up.com/indie-and-sm...

yeah I took this because it was creepy and amazing and it's a faux version of the title of one of my favorite reads last year...

Cynthia Pelayo was kind enough to write the introduction to my upcoming horror fiction collection FEVER DREAMS OF A PARASITE! I also happen to be in this anthology with her!

Just gonna say, if you feel this way, you need to stop using AI.

📚BANNING BOOK BANS New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy recently signed the Freedom to Read Act — a law prohibiting public and school libraries from banning books in the state and to enshrine protections against civil and criminal charges for librarians who comply with the law. (Illinois,…
