Ooooooh.

Printers and computers treat each other like they broke up the night before and you’re they’re mutual friend

It's uncomfortable for a lot of kidlit creators to contend with, but if you leave porn without defense, the censors are comin for you next THEY ALWAYS DO (and they HAVE been in this era of book bans) (defend porn like your freedom of speech depends on it) (because it does)

I want copies of this article to be taped to poles for blocks all around this shitbag's residence so his neighbors can shun him. All around his workplace. Hell, geofence it so when people Google his name they see this article. May he never make another friend or go out on another date again.

This book was so good.

A lot of "progressive" stuff in the '30s/'40s -- the NLRA, FDR's social programs, etc -- were trying to stave off the radicalism of the '30s. USians inspired by & learning from then-communist Russia. That pole is gone now, and so is the motive for the U.S. to keep people from getting too red.

Man, late-stage capitalism is really, really ugly. I mean, I write horror and every metaphor I can call up right now is like, "I'm sorry, kid. I got nothing."

I think it would be very helpful to understand that Nixon was not impeached because of his Watergate crimes. He was impeached b/c the anger and boiling point of the U.S. public needed somewhere to go, and he was an easy sacrifice. The ruling class made a strategic decision to cut him loose.

This article keeps getting shared. It's.... bad. The author claims that millions of kids are being taught a certain reading method, but she never once states how she got that conclusion or provides data to back it up.

New review! Today I've got Nothing in the Basement by Romie Stott, a great horror novella with a compelling narrative structure. Out now from Dybbuk Press. bookjockeyalex.com/2025/11/12/r...

Sylvia Plath's Ariel soaked its way into my bones, down to the marrow itself. I can recite whole stanzas, sometimes whole poems, and the cadence of it sneaks into my sentences even now, leaping entirely past thought.

I pitched my forthcoming novel, Muñeca, as “Bound meets Mexican Gothic.” It’s about witchcraft, colorism, guilt, complicity, sapphic lust; queer found family, parental love, sacrifice; the anger of the servant class; the lure – and the limits – of revenge. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

the only kinds of people you should record in public without consent are cops

I once arrived 15 minutes late for a court appearance. (Yes, as a defendant.) I was immediately put into handcuffs and jailed for 15 hours.

And I think that the Democrats are playing one of their their most fundamental roles: shitting on their own base. (The other is encouraging their base to continue to have hope in the system.)

I do know what to do.

You know you live in a cool neighborhood when you find this in the Little Free Library on a nice morning walk:

Yeah; it's pretty good.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Bring on the Filipinx gothic!

I don't buy a whole lot of Starbucks anyway, but if they're on strike, I'll be buying zero.

In which I wish them much joy at such a cool bookstore, and also in which I applaud Mary Robinette for using the construction correctly (Friend's event + my event = friend's and my event.)
