yes my circus but no those aren’t my monkeys. it’s 2026, i don’t partake in animal cruelty. however, yes, those are indeed my thirty two homosexual clowns

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Love refreshing the Grinder non-stop on April 1st until I'm sure I got all the fun ☺️

Uh, 'interesting' way of presenting this... the only 'authors' I'm aware of using AI are the lazy, unethical, incompetent grifters who don't give a shit about their readers or real writers. People should stop using it, not resent that they have to 'lie about it.' Jesus.

I agree with this. But also, if you're going to watch this anyway, the very least you can do is to not tell me about it, tbh.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

TOMORROW!

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

"It's just a bad period." A personal piece about Endometriosis.

We leave walnuts and blackberries for the colony of dormice in the attic, listening to their dance parties late at night. The pitter-patter melody of steps cools our sticky skin like ghost rain against the cracks that split the ceiling, and we toss in clean bedsheets as we sleep.

Fanart of @radrappy.bsky.social 's newly launched Kickstarter project, 'Clara & The Below'- if you love the sound of an animated gothic horror retelling of The Nutcracker go back it right now! Congrats, Matt! ❄️⚔

Our Patreon crew will receive FF#27 and Saros SF #5 later today. This mighty group of 36 people account for almost three-quarters of FF's revenue, and they're the reason the mag exists in its current form and can keep publishing so much great fiction! Join them! www.patreon.com/fusionfragment

You’ll Find Me There - 18x24” acrylic on canvas. Available.

What's better than new mag day? A dual mag day! That's right, Saros SF #5, edited by @arielmarkenjack.bsky.social, will be releasing on March 23rd alongside FF#27 and you'll be able to get both magazines in one handy download package!

Seems like we could all use this

It's no longer Friday but I'm still in love with these stories! Stay tuned for issue release updates coming very soon...

🌸 She has arrived 🌸 A LADY FOR ALL SEASONS, the Regency romp starring a cunning society lady who is looking for a fake marriage but instead falls for a genderfluid poetess, is out now. Full synopsis, buy links, etc: tjalexander.com#books6

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

The collage cover of our Cunty Horrors zine issue, created by @pg13andabsurd.bsky.social and (to a lesser extent) me. This zine features two essays on cunty horror by Carrie-Edmund Laben and C.E. O’Cónaing. Coming soon!

the two phases of writing: (1) writing and (2) wandering aimlessly like an unmoored ghost and complaining about not writing

Something about the job market for entry positions in coding being absolutely dead, while seniors are proudly saying "Yeah, I'm a cool guy, I delegate 99 percent of my work to a machine that is often incorrect" doesn't sit right with me

Our call for our CL Moore tribute issue opens today! Guidelines here: https://bit.ly/4iA6H8u

How about this one

We're hosting another microfiction contest to celebrate the upcoming release of @reasie.bsky.social's cephalopod scifi MULTITUDE! ✍️🦑🪐 The theme is a hypothetical meeting between humanity and a form of alien life. It can be from the human's perspective, the alien's perspective, whatever you want!

For no reason, just posting this here as a reminder that art doesn’t need to be owned by a corporation and sold and conglomerated for billions. Support indie art. It is (almost literally) the only art that remains🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com

i ❣️ bodily autonomy

Come get my messed up sheep and their even more messed up shepherd, together with a bunch of other amazing stories!

NO WAR WITH IRAN! NO TO IMPERIALIST WAR, YES TO THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE IRANIAN PEOPLE! 🌹 Read DSA's statement on the US-Israeli attacks on Iran (1/5)

When you see the media spin this war, bear in mind that every single propaganda tactic has just been tested in spinning biden's genocide of Gaza. The exact same playbook, the exact same kinds of lies, the same inevitable violence against protesters: we literally *just* went through this.

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

Seems like some other publishing people need to see this. I write even the boring parts without chatgpt. So should you. Stop killing the planet and your peers' careers for laziness' sake.

This ash wednesday I wonder which elements of roman religion and/or folklore the church lifted for such an iconic event

We're funded. Incredibly grateful to the folks who have pitched in and increased pledges and hyped up the project over the last few days (as well as the folks who been there from day one). I don't take any of you for granted. So so thankful to everyone who is making this a reality.

little cranes

Okay folks I have confirmed from Mysterious Benefactor #2 that they have chosen to fund the FULL PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS for each story. Combined with our first Benefactor, we have color endpages too. That means that we still need one more Benefactor if we would like to have paper dolls for each story.

Running a sale on my prints until the end of the month! 20% all prints with the code WINTERPRINTS

It bums me out that there isn't more Paleolithic rock art of cave hyenas, especially considering they were all over the place. So I made some myself.

LRT (or LRP? how do you say it in bsky speak??) my personal golden rule is to run far away from all contests tbh, unless the source is verifiably trustworthy (ex: the Apex flash fic monthly contest)
