The systematic destruction of feminist spaces online is what inspired us to start  The Flytrap. Since last year, part of this work is archiving key Bitch Magazine articles that have disappeared from the internet. Here's some pieces we reprinted this year!

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail At Sam Altman’s Home Claims He Was Following ChatGPT Recipe For Risotto https://theonion.com/man-who-threw-molotov-cocktail-at-sam-altmans-home-claims-he-was-following-chatgpt-recipe-for-risotto/

A lot of people are quick to say they *can't* give up Amazon. Okay, don't. Just don't make it your default. That thing you threw in your basket that you can get elsewhere? Get it elsewhere. If everyone still buying from Amazon reduced their spending by 20%, Bezos would be screaming bloody murder

TOMORROW I am ranting about Harry Potter pull-to-publish books based on Draco-Hermione fic and whether you can have your cake (Harry Potter) and eat it too (read fanfic with the serial numbers filed off) on @theflytrapmedia.com. Grab 20% off for you and a friend as a Resident of the Bog! Just $88!

Doing one of my semi-annual Murderbot Diaries reads and midway though Exit Strategy, I’m once again marveling at how Apple TV’s MURDERBOT pulled forward a lot of the later (book) series threads and wove them into season 1’s arc. That’s an adaptation made with love.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

When one’s birthday is Tax Day and falls on a Wednesday this year, it’s possible one might order a bunch of fancy charcuterie from a local meatery to eat in their pajamas.

From an interview I did re. publishing/art organizing: I think a lot of people assume they won’t be taken seriously if they do something that isn’t at the invitation of an institution. But we create our own authority for our projects based on the level of seriousness that goes into them.

Last push! Remember this is for charity and you don’t actually have to sew it on anything 😅

Woohoo!

looking at the wisconsin supreme court election after everything else that happened today and having one of those “I’m about to fucking lose it” hysterical laughing fits

i feel like you all need this

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

I know everyone is recommending Marjane Satrapi right now, and if you haven’t read Persepolis, trust me: you need to. Especially if you don’t know much about the history of Iran, read Persepolis.

I feel like now is a good time to share this again

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Come on then, and remove him.

halloo just had a little surprise $150 expense and moneys kinda bad rn So! i am doing a little raffle for a custom crochet plushie !! around this size, any character/ur fursona/whatever. $10 raffle tickets, more info below :>

Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we! Have you: -had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently? -used any calming or grounding techniques you like? -eaten a food? If not, do that now. 💜

*mutter* That annoying discovery that one of your own character would be tapping his foot and looking down his mask at you.

the three most usual reactions to threat are fight, flight, and freeze. just because someone has a different reaction than you doesn't mean they don't care, or they aren't as scared as you. it also doesn't mean we shouldn't still take action, obviously, but let's try to also offer some grace today

This sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it’s absolutely true. If you go on Twitter right now, it is easy to find bot accounts constantly posting about how awful Chappell Roan is. The tweets are copy-pasted and identical. It’s not even subtle. You don’t have to believe me, go check for yourself.

A little offended Grammarly didn't make a sloppelganger of me

Being earnest about anything will probably read as cringe to someone else. Quit robbing yourself of joy.

Every product with Stevia rebaudiana extracts in it should be required to have a big sticker on the packaging stating as such. It has too many possible names.

Hello, friends.. Currently, I am in a very difficult situation. I haven't been able to get a job for 8 months now. The job market is getting harder, and designers are being replaced It's sad to ask for help every time like this But Please help me bear it..🥺 ko-fi.com/rights/goal?... commission🧵

This is my silly little fandom account but I am nonetheless going to share that in the last month, I’ve placed two micro fictions and a book review, on top of drafting nearly 20 micros. It’s been a long recovery from severe career burnout, and my brain feels like my own again.

All of this!

Happy April to everyone turning the page in their @yearofbelonging.bsky.social calendar! I picked April because it’s my birth month and only later realized how fitting that on April 1st, everyone would be greeted by my shitpost sampler.

WRITE IT IN THE FUCKING STARS. THIS LIFE WAS NOT MEANT FOR YOU. DO LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

All day, every day. Transphobes are not welcome here.

For the first time ever, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will stream the two opening songs of the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour kickoff in Minneapolis — live and free at approximately 7:30 p.m. CT tonight!

happy trans day of visibility to all of the incredible trans people in my life. the world is better with you in it and I'm never going to stop fighting for you, because your fight is my fight. we're in this together.

One of you needs to hear this:

I’m about to start crowdfunding for a film I would like to make that’s an improvised comedy à la Christopher Guest/ Mike Leigh. I’m gonna be mildly annoying about it but only because I’m extremely excited about it and unfortunately Hollywood is dead seedandspark.com/fund/treasur...

It’s actually not okay to pay someone with a PhD $2500 to teach a college course

Realest post I have read today

Okay, I get publishers affirming that the books we've produced are human-made, but have we also considered bringing back medieval book curses??? Just saying.

If you’re a published author, you may be entitled to Tech Bro Oopsie money! www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

unfriendly reminder that jkr donated £70k that went towards the changing of actual law in the u.k to define what a woman is and isn't. if you're at all a harry potter fan still despite all this, then i urge you to get the fuck over it and quickly

TELL ME YOUR 🏳️‍🌈QUEER SHORT SFF🏳️‍🌈 OUT IN FEBRUARY 2026!!! Originals only pls, up to novella in length, indie okay. Just reply with the author, title, and a link to read and/or buy and I'll get them on the list. Here's January's list for context & more info: www.patreon.com/posts/some-q...

Dolores Huerta showed us again today that little old ladies who lived through the wars to bring us one step closer to a more perfect union have more strength in their little finger than the biggest muscled up dude bro alive, and for too long goddamn heroes have been ignore for being women

I’m joining @adhdedteach.bsky.social’s and @neopessimist.bsky.social’s fundraiser to help some friends during a medical emergency. For a $10 donation, I will make you a personalized reading list of 3 books, based on whatever prompt you give me. DM me to claim a slot and/or for more details.

If you lose standing for something that’s a victory and you will be welcomed by voters in the future if you continue to stand on it. It’s better to lose on principle than win on strategy. Because you pushed an agenda forward. The only true failed campaigns are the ones that flame out chasing polls.

failing is hot girl behaviour 🫵🏻💥
