I swear I’m not just saying it because I’ve got a piece in here, but I totally agree, not a bad story in this anthology! Gabriela Santiago’s “I Don’t Wanna Go to Mexico No More, More, More” was stellar and probably my favorite of the bunch.

Truly honored my story “Elizabeth By the Pea Patch” was included in this great anthology, and even if it wasn’t I’d still be singing its praises!

👀

I just want to remind everyone that Bob Iger is also the guy who cancelled Twin Peaks in 1991

Resources from Gender Justice League, including relocation tips, microgrants for relocating from a red state to WA, info abt signing up for in state care/housing. It's expensive and far from perfect here but state healthcare is low/no cost www.genderjusticeleague.org/category/res...

Malarkey mail, hell yeah. 😎 @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

You should get KLR 24 because it has my story in it, obviously, but you should really absolutely just order a book from Malarkey because you’ll get the zine anyway!

"he's [shitty white people's] george floyd" is the kind of thing i have to laugh uproariously at because the alternative is that i scream and do not stop screaming until i die

Never thought I’d find myself emailing Fox, yet here I am. What a reprehensible human being.

we have an authoritarian leader who is going full duterte, and that’s just *one* reason it scares me how happy liberals are to use dehumanizing language about addiction to attack others. you’d think we’d learn something from all the ICE concentration camps going up, but we haven’t learned shit

I have a study right here linking autism to not punching RFK Jr. in the dick repeatedly.

I've long said the only folks who will ever "come for your guns" are the republicans. Every accusation is a confession.

One of our own in the writers community, Chelsea Qinn Yarbo, has passed. Her estate needs help to settle her end of life care. Please help spread the word and donate if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/6n9tz-supp...

What a spiritual practice actually looks like:

Ghoul and goblin awareness: There are ghouls and goblins

Been listening to The Cure’s Pornography a ton lately. “Siamese Twins” is one of my favorite Cure songs, and this fuzzy black and white video with warped sound, ballet dancers, and string accompaniment is just mesmerizing.

Hi friends. I caught up with Laird's partner, Jessica M today and received permission to share this. As some of you may know, Laird is in need of a new kidney. The appropriate donor would have O blood type. If you or anyone you know may be a willing match & donor, please reach out to me.

Oof

Yikes, what a hell of a few years it’s been for Laird. The resilience his characters display in the face of hardship has been a big inspiration in my personal life, glad he’s holding it down in his own and still kicking. But yikes, man.

My therapist asked me to write about something from my childhood for this week's session and I just caught myself researching it the same way I would for a story, help

Spider-Man on the Genesis has the best continue screen I've ever seen in a video game.

This is the first piece I’ve read presenting where we go from here with any clarity. A blue state coalition, selective compliance, secession, and/or international intervention look a lot more effective than relying on the broken electoral system that ushered in the fascism in the first place.

Hey, just in case you need to hear it from your favorite horror movie podcast: Fuck JK Rowling & her transphobic bullshit. Free Palestine. Free D.C. ACAB. Have a great Saturday night everyone else.

These two things cannot both be true: 1: throwing a sandwich at a federal officer is a violent assault worthy of prosecution. 2: raiding the Capitol grounds, assaulting police offices & vandalizing federal property in an effort to interfere with an election is a harmless protest worthy of pardons.

Absolutely love both of these stories. Add some long-ass stories to your life! And down with all kings but King Ludd!

My weird, extensively-footnoted, big-feelingsy, autofiction novelette “There Is a Light on Beneath Your House” is in King Ludd’s Rag #24! It’s simultaneously my favorite piece and also the one I’ve felt the most trepidation about putting out into the world; so stoked it found a home in KLR.

The older I get the more I’m convinced I have a little Ligotti on one shoulder and a little Chuck Tingle on the other.

I got Joel Lane’s The Lost District like 18-19 years ago and proceeded to not read it until last week. Now I feel dumb, because holy shit is it brilliant. It’s like if Aickman was a queer anticapitalist gen-xer. Bleak, but coming from a tender, human place—more frustrated idealism than pessimism.

THE ONLY WAY TO END FASCISM IS BY ENDING FASCISTS.

The initial results of Operation: I’m Sad, I’m Buying Books are trickling in. You don’t have to be sad to order from @valancourtbooks.bsky.social, though! (But it helps.) Been meaning to read both of these for a while, stoked.

Spent a chunk of early June in Philly and started making plans today to potentially go back in October. It’d be bananas to try to squeeze this in too, right? RIGHT?

Imagine if "combating homelessness" meant housing people, not brutalizing and disappearing them.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Fulci made ‘em cheap and schlocky, but THE BEYOND is a cheap, schlocky work of transcendent genius.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

Just me and the homies sitting around the Formica table

Are you down?

Saw Fellowship of the Ring for the 2nd or 3rd time with friends at the infamous Riverview in Philly. This dude had minor remarks to make the whole time, but when Gandalf was about to fall off the bridge in Moria the guy yelled, very earnestly, “SOMEBODY GIVE THE MAN A HAND!”

It took me DECADES to figure out that being super into your stories>disliking your stories

Super pumped for Lucky Day! I’ll be picking up my signed copy at the reading in Seattle next month ❤️

More cops.... More crime. Less cops... Less crime. Its almost as if they're corollary. 🤔 www.king5.com/article/news...
