Interesting that all the new notifications I receive on my phone, basically nothing about Venezuela. State run media is loyal to its dictator

So in the UK, they'll arrest you for supporting Palestine, and now we find they'll also arrest you for supporting those who support Palestine. If you hold a Free Greta sign, will they arrest you for supporting someone who supports those who support Palestine? British Matryoshka doll-ass fascism.

Yes, my short story was rejected, but the editor said it made it to their shortlist and, “was enjoyed massively.”That’s the best writing news I’ve had in a long while. I’ll take it as a win.

Just signed kind of a surreal contract. Not gonna spill the deets yet, but a writer and activist I really respect will be recording an audio version of Macramé Flames, first published in The Book of Queer Saints edited by @maeisafraid.bsky.social.

It’s that time of year again

Hey! Psst. Hey! A new post. This is about as open and forthcoming as I get. Please read, particularly if you're a woman. This one is important to me. msgwriterslife.wordpress.com/2025/12/04/h...

No matter how I try I can’t keep a story under 5K words. I write a few at a time, & those under 3k will expand once I get into them. My current WIP (almost done) is at nearly 5,600 & at final edit I doubt it will be below 5,200, if that. In all, my chances of getting something published disappear

Look what I have. If it's not yet in stores or available online, it should be shortly-you can preorder it. What could be more fun for a stocking stuffer?

CHM will be open for submissions at the beginning of the new year! Read our guidelines here: https://bit.ly/3FZcgMA

The new SLEEP ALONE cover was inspired by one of my favorite movies, Green Room. I love what Alan did here. The show poster style with all those creases and tears, the club stamps on the back…so many great details. I’m very aware how lucky I am to get two covers I absolutely love 🤩
