oh, i guess it's that time of year, so: nothing i do will ever be up for award consideration if there isn't a cash prize attached.

The denial of self-determination to trans kids is rooted in the notion of children as property. Victorian parents lost their shit over the idea that they can't send their 5 yo to work in the mines, and that’s the origin of "parental rights"—a reactionary assertion that parents own their kids’ bodies

fenway park can seat just over 37,000. so the amount of billionaires alive couldn't even fill a tenth of it.

i don't actually think there's a higher percentage of bad poetry vs. other literary forms (and, in fact, i suspect it skews toward less being garbage than other forms) it's just that the bad poetry that exists is PROFOUNDLY bad in ways other literary forms can't replicate.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

It is time, now and always, to say the things that need saying and make the art that needs making

Drew a Hound of Tindalos from a short story by Frank Belknap Long, released in a short story collection of his work in 1946. The hounds are creatures that exist outside of time and space. They can emerge in the form of smoke from any angle of a certain sharpness, like the corner of a room.

reading @hazelzorn.bsky.social 's 'reef mind,' for a second time, and i'm struck at how beautiful it is. it's language is elegant and understated but manages to be both beautiful and furiously ugly, when needed. it echoes buth diane seuss and rachel carson while still feeling novel and so... now.

you are a horse -+dappled and hobbled+- mouth full of sweetgrass, a switch waiting to be thrown.

Reposting this again in hopes that some Newsom-loving centrists pause for a second and briefly wonder that maybe, just maybe, trans people are a tiny bit tired of being a sacrificial offering to the idol of lesser fascism

The USA is like a deranged neighbour who keeps logging on to the locality chat to drop long, confusing pdf rants the rest of us have to read if we're ever to keep up with his bizarre living situation and the possible fallout for the rest of us.

reminder: i don't experience nostalgia and would really quite rather you didn't experience it in my presence.

we can keep it, all of it, under our nails and nevernever sing of all the ways that sophocles failed antigone. . we can peel our nails backforth and pull them from the soil of our hands, yellow tears and dandelions, sigils carved in cloud. . we can continue all of everything, but at what cost?

diatoms fall like stars, the floor a second ocean, a grave for the sky, emptied.

broadview mayor katrina thompson blames today’s brutality on “out-of-town protesters” who’ve “chosen their fists” over their voices. does this look like cops “protecting [protesters’] free speech”?

I get paid tomorrow. It won't be much. I'm working on workmans comp for this injury. If I can raise $15, I will spend it on diet coke, lunch, and dinner. Thank you!

there is a mouse, skittering and scampering in the corners and shadows, and the cat, ever vigilant, always seems to prowl exactly where the mouse was, yesterday.

Bakunin wrote about this very thing! "Does it follow that I reject all authority? Far from me such a thought. In the matter of boots, I refer to the authority of the bootmaker; concerning houses, canals, or railroads, I consult that of the architect or the engineer.

Here is the beautiful front cover for SUFFERING THE OTHER, art and design by RewX. See the loaded TOC here: bit.ly/4i03e3h (TOC is also in the alt-text here). Coming February 2026, pre-order open in December. Reminder, this is a benefit for @raicestexas.bsky.social and Transgender Law Center!

The Greek anarchist group Revolutionary Struggle was added to the FTO list in 2009 by Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Another Greek anarchist group, Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, was added in 2011, five years before Trump's first election.

(finally started the real work on my 'what if colin wilson was actually WAY fucking worse' bit of biofiction and i guess we'll see if anything ever really comes of it.)

There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are

let us slake our thirst on those that would turn the world into a desert in the name of mammon, let the bones of those that would claim to be madhava lay forever in sunlight.

It's so cool that sitting US senators can talk about how they want all Palestinians to be murdered and vote to do it and if you post about throwing a tomato at them the Feds show up at your door because that's apparently a threat but trying to do a genocide isn't Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

alex is rad and one of the most astute readers of weird/horror fiction on this site. pls help if you can.

alix is fucking awesome )and one of the most astute readers of horror/weird fiction on this site) so you should help a little.

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

Hey! Sort of a surprise new story day. @undertow.bsky.social is making my novelette, "Uncertain Sons," (original to the collection) available online for a short time for folks catching up on end-of-year reading. Eligible for most novelette/long fiction categories. Online until end of November!

joe koch isn't just one of the finest writers of weird and transgressive literature working, today, but truly is one of the best to ever do it. if you ain't reading joe koch, are you even really reading?

it's such a good time for avant garde horror literature.

And that’s why we need liberation — freedom to exist — for everyone. I don’t want my gender “affirmed”, I want access to healthcare— for everyone.
