If you're looking for "Sapphic spooky vibes for someone getting into the genre (audiobook preferable)," we suggest Patricia Wants to Cuddle by @samanthaallen.bsky.social. #AskALibrarian

Hello, people of Bluesky. A film adaptation of PATRICIA WANTS TO CUDDLE is officially in the works. I am super excited about this: variety.com/2025/film/ma...

yes, ChatGPT is in schools; there are K-12 school districts and DOEs entering into AI contracts, too. so rather than panicking over the death of academia as a foregone conclusion—particularly when LLMs are frequently wrong—why don't we talk about the climate costs of AI? my latest @teenvogue.com

It has taken me almost a year to look for a forensic grammatical breakdown of 'Espresso' and all I can do is say thank you to @samanthaallen.bsky.social: www.them.us/story/sabrin...

today on Them, my interview with @nicoleamaines.bsky.social on writing the new SECRET SIX miniseries (out today!), the rapid evolution of Dreamer, and complicating the "queer superhero" in 2025: www.them.us/story/nicole...

the National Park Service erased the word "transgender" from its Stonewall National Monument page today and replaced "LGBTQ+" with "LGBQ+" -- here's my report for @them.us: www.them.us/story/nation...

we're all rightfully stressed about The News; on a dif note — been thinking a lot about the lack of awards recognition for I Saw The TV Glow despite its long tail of influence. sharing this profile I did of the film's music, talking to Jane Schoenbrun, Frances Quinlan of Hop Along, and Sloppy Jane

Fantasy books are so much more versatile than anyone realizes right now. In my latest book review column, I look at four books that range from romantasy to ecological weirdness to wuxia action. Gift linK: wapo.st/4hqE3Fu

wrote a farewell to my, our, beloved David Lynch: about getting "fix your hearts or die" tattooed, the legions of queer and trans art his work has since enabled, and losing his genius in part to the ecological decline caused by the human hubris his work obsessed over. @them.us

His health bar is huge

Santa as sleigh is Cronenberg esque and absolutely sick. This is what liberals want to do to christmas

ROLAND ROGERS ISN’T DEAD YET is super fun, has tons of great cultural references, and the ending made me WEEP! It’s so touching and heartfelt. Gah, I loved this book and I love @samanthaallen.bsky.social . If you adore books about movie stars, this is a most read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

i like all the little cinematic undercuts. the pile of cigarettes! the raviolis! people being upset about procedure! conclave is really about how difficult it is to be a project manager

If you need a break from the dumpster fire of democracy and like me, have kids who have been screaming all week “daddy, play Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso one more tiiiime,” the following may be just the medicine for you: www.them.us/story/sabrin.... @samanthaallen.bsky.social, you made my day.

“That’s that me espresso” is catchy, but what does it mean? www.them.us/story/sabrin...

CHALLENGERS altered my brain chemistry.

Today on This Is Horror Podcast, we talk to Samantha Allen in the first of a two-part conversation. In this episode, @samanthaallen.bsky.social talks about M to (WT)F, dark humour, women’s restrooms, and much more. www.thisishorror.co.uk/tih-561-sama...

Stop calling all good writing "lyrical" challenge

The hot new trend is kissing your co-star.

Talked with the one and only @jamesfactora.bsky.social about the many, many, many gendered memes of 2023.

At least 2023 had some good reality TV!

The G Flip beat (pun intended) continues.

Finally completed my masterpiece.

Talked to Matt Rogers about his hilarious Christmas album. www.them.us/story/matt-r...

@samanthaallen.bsky.social no mike johnson? he definitely deserves to be in the tournament of villains.

Service journalism.

oh it’s a marathon not a sprint? so like, even worse??

The personal essay is so Back

Back in May I took a press trip to Puerto Vallarta and then I wrote an essay about the tension that results from being one of the lucky few trans people who gets invited on press trips paired with the alienation of being trans in a cis gaycation spot. www.them.us/story/puerto...

Just want you guys to know that right now there's a truly INCREDIBLE thread on Twitter that is causing a bunch of 29-year-olds with undiagnosed anxiety disorders to reveal to the world that they believe they are secretly John Wick

~~~Love~~~ how Tesla took one of the most intuitive things about a car (opening and closing the passenger door) and made it complicated, somehow.

Did someone Baldur’s blogging with @sallyt.bsky.social and @mathewrodriguez.bsky.social. Also featuring an appearance from my Tav, although I suspect I may pay a visit to the Magic Mirror today.

trying to explain "scissor me, Daddy Ass" to a non-wrestling person requires a shockingly long lore dump 🤼

Had so much fun putting together this list of very 2023 Halloween costumes.

Shazam but for discourse

shana tova, friends. may all the antisemities—and especially the billionaire ones—fuck off in this new year. ❤️

People of Bluesky! I’m writing another book. It’s called ROLAND ROGERS ISN’T DEAD YET, it has a gay ghost in it, and that’s all you need to know right now. Stay tuned for more details. Meanwhile, I’ve got some more editing to do! 👻

Imagine being told you were a monkey with a terminal disease and then getting even WORSE news

“One of the most unpleasant solving experiences of all time” is right, @rexparker.bsky.social. Flew through the Wednesday NYTXW and still loathed every second of it.
