I first learned about the 52 Book Club in the middle of 2025, so I was behind the curve when I started on June 1st. Luckily, some of the books I’d already read as part of my Goodreads Reading Challenge counted toward various categories, so I was at least on my way! ... medium.com/reviewsday-t...

Pretty much exactly this.

Happy #FungiFriday! Is this Strobilurus tenacellus, AKA pinecone cap?

Come on, scammers. At least edit the ai summaries when you send your "I loved your book, please pay me to promote it to my book club" emails!

Marriage is a trap. You let a man show you one (1) Star War and the next thing you know, you’re gluing wires on a belt so you can dress up as gay robots for Halloween.

Happy Halloween & #FungiFriday! Here's a creepy mushroom I photographed the other day. I've named it "Cyclops skull." #spooky!

Husband: Time to leave for our immigration appointment. We have to get our photos taken for residence cards. Me: 'Kay one sec, just let me GIVE MYSELF BANGS WITH KITCHEN SCISSORS. I am an absolute nightmare. In my defense, I was having a bad hair day. Plus #AuDHD. But the impulse bangs look FINE.

Re-posting this to celebrate the end of the first weekend of early voting. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mondoweiss.net "Zohran Mamdani, and a 100-year-old history of anti-Zionism in New York City" mondoweiss.net/2025/09/zohr...

My internet's been down since Friday, but in the meantime apparently I've had a paper published! Check out “The Letter of the Law: Joyce, Martyrdom, and Wildean Litigation”, Open Library of Humanities, vol. 11, no. 2, 2025. olh.openlibhums.org/article/id/2...

Happy #fungifriday! Amanita muscaria at sunset among the heather 🍄

Publishers should be invested in promoting the books they publish.

It’s still a few months away from release but I’m at @canconsffh.bsky.social in Ottawa promoting the anthology about small town Canadian superheroes called Super Canucks that Mat Del Papa and I edited together. Coming March 2026 from @latitude46pub.bsky.social I have postcards to share. #cancon2025

My husband has inadvertently trained the local birds that if they knock on the kitchen window, someone will come put seeds in the birdfeeder. I work from home, and half my job now is attending to needy tits. The woodpecker is pretty though.

Happy #FungiFriday! Is this pose more "Come at me, bro!" or "Heyy guurl"?

Here's a fly agaric toadstool with a wee friend on top (thanks for posing!) for #FungiFriday

Happy Book Birthday to Choices: an anthology of reproductive horror, edited by @diannalgunn.bsky.social. To sum up my 5-star review: riveting, horrifying, brutal--and very, very necessary. medium.com/reviewsday-t...

My new article in #mondoweiss situating #Mamdani in relation to anti-Zionism in the Arabic-speaking and Jewish communities of 1920s NYC. Although the journal labels it an opinion piece, it is almost entirely historical. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mondoweiss.net

On the worst days, it murmurates, small hurts becoming one writhing mass blocking out the sun, looming and shitting on the windshield of your new car. Yes, grief is a strange bird indeed. www.gothamliterature.nyc/content/grie...

Having stories in 2 bisexual anthologies coming out on the same day (Sept 23rd, Celebrating Bi+ Visibility Day!) feels like a personal Barbenheimer. A Bi-benheimer, if you will. Links for both on my homepage: www.cozydubois.com/ 🌈💜 💙📚 🌈📚

Christ, lady. These spam "marketing" emails have gone straight to negging.

I've been seeing authors on #Booksky complaining about AI phishing emails offering vague promotional services, and I finally got one myself. Does that mean I've made it? Or that scammers think I'm desperate enough to sell copies of the book I wrote when I was 19 that I'll pay for promos? #📚💙

I've written about what's happening with the Polari Prize, re: TERF J0hn B0yne and all the wonderful allies withdrawing their books from consideration @prismnpen.bsky.social. medium.com/prismnpen/au...

It was a PAIN IN THE ASS to get this post published: Medium refused to post it, citing prohibited material (??). Thank you @james-finn.bsky.social for helping me sneak this past the censors. Medium, we WILL be following up!! medium.com/prismnpen/ar...

Shout out to everyone still giving the payment processors hell We've got to keep this fight up - for as long as it fucking takes - because censorship is the first step to removal from public life... Which is a step towards removing adult content creators & queer people from life altogether

COVER REVEAL for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, featuring authors like @bogiperson.bsky.social and @ahdavison.bsky.social + a foreword from the incredible @alexwoodroe.com!!! Pre-orders are available NOW!! #ChoicesAnthology

"Gaza is not the subject of the next paper. Its writers and artists are not bait for a new grant or fellowship. Its murdered children are not the subject of the next ethnographic study, or the next anthology or the next art installation or digital humanities project."

Mia Spiro writes in Anti-Nazi Modernism (2012) that “the novels that Barnes, Isherwood, and Woolf wrote [… reveal the] conditions in 1930s Europe that made the continent ripe for disaster.” To this list I would like to add Robert McAlmon's 1920s stories about queer Berlin: medium.com/prismnpen/on...

In case you needed another reminder about how bogus credit scores are, mine just dropped thirty points because my husband paid off his student loan. We got married last year and have no shared accounts. Capitalism is a ✨scam✨
