i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

AppleTV+ is doing a free preview weekend on the 4th/5th, here are some movies you should check out. Wolfwalkers, one of the best animated films of the century so far. The Tragedy of Macbeth, which Denzel should have won all the awards for. Coda, because that one song will make you cry.

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.

I am really out here trying to give Black folks our own Game of Thrones experience w/ an epic sprawling contemporary fantasy set in New Orleans starring Black & Black queer characters. If you’ve read this series, then you already know what it’s giving 😏… #blacksky #booksky #blackbooksky

JUSTICE FOR DARWIN #Superman

Here you go: the #Superman trailer. Krypto, take us home. youtu.be/uhUht6vAsMY?...

I also wrote a fantasy series that’s a contemporary Game of Thrones ft. Black & Black queer leads. It got starred reviews from Kirkus & Publisher’s Weekly, & I was a finalist in the GA Author of the Year Award for it. If you’re a fan of The Originals tv series, check it out! #booksky #blackbooksky

Don’t spend your entire life just trying to get through… there’s always gonna be a challenge. Find joy wherever you can, while you can.

My new werewolf comic MOON DOGS (The Horizon Experiment) is out now from @imagecomics.bsky.social!!! Ask your fave comic store to set your copy aside. What happens when a blended lycanthrope family (East African/African-American) gets its loyalties challenged at the dawn of a war with humans?

This was fun! I was talking about MOON DOGS, my new comic one-shot.

A preview of my one-shot comic MOON DOGS in The Horizon Experiment, illustrated by Kelsey Ramsay. (This is the variant cover by @tulalotay.bsky.social ) capesandtights.com/previews-moo...

OUT TODAY!!!! My one-shot comic MOON DOGS. :)

We co-wrote and exec produced a short film, "Danger Word," starring Frankie Faison, 10 years ago - but this is our first time directing! (Bestie Luchina Fisher directed Danger Word. She just won an Emmy for The Dads on Netflix!) I learned a LOT on that shoot. Watch it free: dangerwordfilm.com

Hubby and I got funding to direct a short film adaptation of one of our works! I would LOVE the opportunity to shadow a horror director first - if anyone has a shoot scheduled between now and June of 2025. (Particularly in L.A.) Just putting it out here in the blue skies! 😀

The new Spider-Man balloon did NOT skip leg day!

I’m not watching The Holdovers. I’m watching Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s Oscar winning performance in The Holdovers.

“Passing it Down”

Dog walked her 😂😂😂

Me today when I got that email giving me permission to log off at noon tomorrow and start my holiday early…

I am done with begging white Monster Romance authors to hire sensitivity readers. At this point I'm just going to assume their racist until proven otherwise. This isn't an accident. Subconscious bias, maybe. It is still racist.

FYC copies of the screenplays for Nickel Boys and Challengers arrived today.

Daring your problematic relative to say the wrong thing

Any book earning out is a beautiful thing. That goes for residuals too - YOU DID THAT.

Giving ourselves the grace to have a minimum practice instead of our vision of what a writing practice *should* be can quiet the voices trying to tell us we aren't real writers.

Fantastic! @kundalinisteve.bsky.social is also my co-host on The Lifewriting Podcast. We always talk about that sentence a day on the pod. Has helped me a LOT. (And no, of course it won't be *every* day) :) Our podcast: lifewritingpodcast.com More on our courses: www.steven-barnes.com#COURSES

Thanks for the FYC boxes for the #MariaMovie and #EmiliaPérez movie, Netflix.

I think adults should get a personal pan pizza for reading books too

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff. I like this version of social media, and the world. Thanks, folks.

Why this look like they’re waiting for Flav to give out the last clock?

Denzel Washington says #TheEqualizer Part 4 & 5 are in the works “They want me to go get the bad guys” (t.co/XIA8cHnx6k)

Charlie Cox says #DaredevilBornAgain will be a continuation of the Netflix series “The relationships and dynamics set up in the previous seasons still exist.” (t.co/YVyPaJFGo4)

#MeetTheWebcomic I’m Viktor, and my book/graphic novel is called, StrangeLore. It’s a queer horror/fantasy story. tapas.io/series/Stran...

The Misfortunates and Miss Fortune. I can't wait to introduce them to the world.
