FIYAH Magazine is going on "hiatus indefinitely" after Issue #40. www.andrewliptak.com/fiyah-black-...

i know i should be asleep when the australian mutuals are the only ones posting

Sad news :(

If Google puts every outlet out of business, where does the AI crawl for information? That’s the end of all endgames, pals. They may as well put the chips in our brains now (feeling less and less like a joke). If your fav outlets have newsletters and socials, sign up NOW.

Is this a joke? The company that was so all-in about 'copyright enforcement' that innocent youtubers got their account binned for using bird song or white noise. THAT company, is rolling out plagiarism as a service. Christ on a bike.

I've reposted a couple of other people mentioning it, so I'll chime in: My cursed film novel THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT is up on Netgalley! In 1994, three girls went to the movies, and only one came out. 30 years later, the survivor learns the movie isn't done with her 📽️

“I’m just so goddamn fed up with all this,” Gina Small, 29, said in a comment on the U.S. economy that one of her friends assumed was about the world’s ongoing humanitarian crises, another friend thought was about the weaponization of America’s military against its own people.

Remember: we were never given credit for being right about crypto, we were never given credit for being right about NFTs, we were never given credit for being right about the metaverse and we will never be given credit for being right about AI. Fuck 'em up anyway.

Today would be a beautiful day to fund this, I'm just saying. www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-dis...

As someone who's spent the last fifteen years keeping the household afloat with a job in SEO can I just say how deeply, *deeply* fucking tired I am.

Kickstarter has reverted their policy changes on Adult Content! They issued an apology, siting Stripe as the reason. The pressure we put on them worked. This is a step in the right direction. But the threat of Stripe remains. It’d be great to see KS end ties with them & process payments elsewhere.

Catch me alongside Dave V. Riser, Jamie Flanagan, Bitter Karella, and Rath Mercury at StokerCon 2026 talking about trans horror history on the panel "We've Always Been Here: Transgender Imagery and Characters Throughout Horror History." I think it's gonna be a fun conversation!

With the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, we are going to see a big uptick in adoptions. As someone who works in Grogu rescue, I will remind you: when you adopt a Baby Yoda, you are committing to its 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯. Grogus can live up to 900 years. They can also move shit around your apartment.

The Seattle Printers Guild has a pop-up zine shop where you can obtain a few of my print zines plus many other fine publications. Swing by and check it out if you're local and shoot me a pic if you find my zines in the wild, I'd love to see it :) seattleprintersguild.substack.com/p/were-openi...

The slush readers and I are working our way through the SIDE HUSTLE submissions and we have a problem. Too many great stories already, and we've only been open for three days. This book is going to be so good. You can get it early by backing the Kickstarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/agi...

I feel a mighty need

See you nerds this evening! :3

You know, maybe forcing marginalized people to stripmine newer and deeper facets of their personal identity to appease a disposability cycle and keep themselves and their brand above water, thus forcing those desperate for community to imitate and assimilate to those patterns was a bad thing. Maybe.

"Anthropic blames dystopian sci-fi for training AI models to act evil." Oh really? So the stuff you stole because you are a dystopian fucked up company has fucked up your dystopian fucked up company?

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

The idea that vampires cannot be in folk horror when 'Salem's Lot is a folk horror book that features vampires is quite frankly a little odd to me. In fact, most of King's work up until the late '90s can be seen in a folk horror lens. 'Salem's Lot, Needful Things, Pet Sematary, and It especially

yup yup Bitter Karella will be at Bizarrocon in Portland this coming weekend, so you should say 'hi' if you're there, why not?

There are approximately 2.8 million trans people in the US. That means FOURTEEN PERCENT of American trans people have moved across state lines in the past 18 months.

Hey #Albuquerque peeps! If you're looking for some quality weekend entertainment, grab a brew and join me, @carterwroteit.bsky.social and @scottymilderhorror.bsky.social at The Painted Lady on Saturday for an evening of spooky storytelling. breakfastisoverrated.holdmyticket.com/tickets/460727

Ghoulish Books (the press) is relocating to Minnesota! We could use help with funds. Please consider donating what you can! Moving is very expensive. Thank you! ko-fi.com/interrobangb...

My TBR shelf. This should keep me occupied for...a while.

Reorganizing my bookshelves and taking the opportunity to purge some titles. If you ever feel guilty getting rid of books, think of it this way: When you donate/sell a book *you* didn't love, it has a chance of finding someone else who WILL love it. For indies especially, this is priceless.

Trans rights are OUR FUCKING RIGHTS & we have to fight for them whether we think we will ever use them ourselves or not. You don’t have to be family or a friend of a trans person to get it. You just have to be a good person who believes the government has no right to tell us who we’re are or aren’t.

close friends who are aware of my bizarre, fucked-up personal situation have encouraged (bullied) me to create more of a clear-cut fundraising campaign to help with my upcoming move. if you can chip in, great! thank you! but please only do so if you can spare it. 💚 ko-fi.com/interrobangb...

One of my favorite rewards in the SIDE HUSTLE: HORROR STORIES FOR LATE CAPITALISM Kickstarter is two (2) signed books by a writer who saved my life as a teenager, Poppy Z. Brite. Having Billy say yes to this anthology is the high point of my publishing career. www.kickstarter.com/projects/agi...

I know money's tight right now but if anybody's got a few bucks to chip in, we could get this funded tonight. If you share me proof of donation, I will happily send you an ebook of Nezumi's Children or These Kids Are Not Alright as a token of gratitude :) gofund.me/b60fefc19

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

This sounds badass

Feed an indie author's* delusions and buy a self-published book today! It's me, I'm the delusional indie author. www.goodreads.com/author/list/...

Are you ready to get bizarre? Cuz this coming weekend is BIZARROCON and, with it, the world premiere of the NEW BIZARRI AUTHOR SERIES!!! That's right four brand spanking new weirdos smash their way onto the Bizarro scene with a live spectacle/reading of their TOO HOT FOR TV stories! YOWZAA!!!

"Honey, don't drink the last White Monster, I need it for a podcast." <-- a real sentence I just uttered in my real life.

too many stupid people have money; that's why I'm launching protein cigarettes

Sneak peek for my May zine club subscribers. Something a bit different this month: a set of interactive journaling prompts designed to help you figure out where a goal has gone sideways. I've gotten a lot of utility out of it, excited to see if my patrons vibe with it.

don’t

It seems to me that companies are spending a lot of money on this technology and firing humans not because they think it will be profitable but in an effort to appear AI-optimized to investors. Colleges are doing it because they enjoy thinking of themselves as startups.

ICYMI, our general submission window is open this entire month! We want stories and poetry with a strong voice and a sense of adventure, stuff that makes us feel things, stuff that lets us use our hearts and our brains and leaves us wanting more! Guidelines & schedule: www.havenspec.com/submit/

Wow discord is hella borked right now huh

This actually might be the reviewing hill I die on. The longer I do it, the more I feel this should be the heart of the endeavor. Not a service to readers or authors but a process of self-exploration that the reviewer is willing to share with other readers.

Oh hell yeah. Creeped over to 90 Patreon followers today. That is a pleasantly round number. You know what would be an even *better* number, though? 100. C'mon. I know there's 10 of you who want free monthly deep dives into bug ladies, decapitation, and car sex. www.patreon.com/c/tlbodine

I know money's tight right now but if anybody's got a few bucks to chip in, we could get this funded tonight. If you share me proof of donation, I will happily send you an ebook of Nezumi's Children or These Kids Are Not Alright as a token of gratitude :) gofund.me/b60fefc19
