For the past 53 hours we have been trying to identify the man who was racially-profiled and abducted by ICE agents in East Somerville this past Saturday — his family and co-workers have now come forward to identify him as Magdaleno Pineda Avelar. More here: www.cambridgeday.com/2025/09/20/s...

LOL

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

This motherfucker actually said “Nothing bad can happen. It CAN ONLY GOOD HAPPEN.” Read that again. And then, despite his grating fucking voice, listen to it. He has no idea what the fuck he’s saying. Our country is run down by a sundowing idiot.

It would be so embarrassing to be a person who treats these worms’ victory as inevitable

What an incredibly evil creature.

Autism does not need to be cured Ableism does The end

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it — so it’s up to all of us. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!) The “epidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness. LOUDER.

Please join me in supporting Austin and co’s excellent project to get people in Atlanta out of medical debt. Can we get to $7000 by end of day?? I’ll bet we can! I love Atlanta and it would awesome to give some people there a bit of relief and happiness. Even a little bit helps.

Back from a weekend visiting the college kid in Nashville and getting ready for release day tomorrow! Click below for details on how to join me on the road. @sagapressbooks.bsky.social @laneheymont.bsky.social raforall.blogspot.com/2025/08/why-...

THEN 10/4 12-4 @ Newburgh B&N (North of NYC a bit), I'm part of this COOL Spooky Bookfest event with @hwany.org friends @robertottone.bsky.social, @johnlangan.bsky.social & @catmscully.bsky.social & MORE! Halloween Book Haul! I'll sign AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC + A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN

Take a look at the darkest parts of the past with these seven incredible historical horror books like 'The Buffalo Hunter Hunter' by Stephen Graham Jones.

This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit! *wearily* collective action does work, it really does

@maryrajotte.bsky.social did an excellent job of summarizing the Stoker eligibility process and recommending rules: maryrajotte.com/blog/2021/09...

Horror folks, it's the middle of September, and the Stoker Recommended Reading List is looking extremely small. If you're a member of the HWA, go recommend something you've read that you loved! horror.org/awards/curre...

#WhyILoveHorror by @raforall.bsky.social is not a horror book, and it is not just for horror fans. It is for horror fans, of course, but it’s also for everybody else who likes stories. #BookSky Thank you to #NetGalley and @sagapressbooks.bsky.social for the advance copy for my honest review:

This is probably a lot more effective than cancelling your Hulu subscription tho of c you can do both.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you soon

That’s a wrap on LOST IN THE DARK AND OTHER EXCURSIONS. Another great collection from @johnlangan.bsky.social. Now to wait patiently for THE CLEAVING STONE (and hopefully another collection not too too far down the line!).

💙📚🩸 UNCERTAIN SONS is an astonishing debut from @thomasha.bsky.social. Imaginative, uncanny, thoughtful, surprising- these elegantly written, vital stories ruminate on the human condition, the anxieties & eerie marvels of technology, & on what really matters in a constantly shifting world. #MSReview

Looking forward to this! 👇👇👇

I sent Mindy these pics and asked her to post them on the ghoulish account knowing she wouldn’t let me down

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours.

The "They hate us for being white" crowd.

Scoop: Status has obtained the termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social, in which it informed her that she was being fired for social media posts "about white men." Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/karen-atti...

“Our employers told us it was ok… I will never visit 🇺🇸 again. It feels good to be free.” Hundreds of South Korean workers detained in shackles landed home, met by family who tearfully hugged them. Arrested building a factory to employ thousands. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

I am about to go on tour to support the release of WHY I LOVE HORROR. I will be appearing with many of the authors from the book. Schedule, is below and will be updated as needed. @sagapressbooks.bsky.social @laneheymont.bsky.social raforall.blogspot.com/2025/08/why-...

I know the context Anna Akhmatova wrote this in, but it is universal enough to seem relevant and striking to me today. (Also, I've seen several translations of this. None go as hard as this one. Wish i had the translator's name handy. )

The intense concentration of self in the middle of such a heartless immensity, my God! who can tell it?
