Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Text on the right side of the image reads, "Welcome to Salon Sinister: A Queer Horror Lit Mag" ""The work featured in this issue is a look inside the minds of those directly affected by the fascist regime in the United States. The contributors in this issue are strong representatives of a population that not only faces daily persecution, but still finds ways to exist boldly and beautifully under threat." Below that reads, "Contributors: Abigail Waldron, al dsym, Amber S., A.V. Shurling, Bee Delores, Christine Makepeace, Ciaran Flake, E.L. Rey, Elizabeth R. McClellan, Ell Huang, Garrett Emerson, Genevieve Hugenbruch, Jay Zimmerman, Jaylan Salah, Molly M., Odin Meadows, Tera Freeman, Trevor Kassis." The right side of the image is the cover of the new free horror lit magazine "Salon sinister" which features a figure cloaked in black with a pale hand emerging within the folds that has pink painted nails. Instead of a face there are big, unnerving teeth seeming to break through the paper. The words "Salon Sinister" are written across the front of the figure in either lipstick or blood. Hard to say which...

The Salon is now open...

The first issue of our queer horror magazine is official live and ready for you to consume.

Step inside. Lose yourself. Find your new favorite writer or artist within. We have such sights to show you🖤

Hi, I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner and I endorse this message. People who make you feel bad about being open about your mental illness need to sit with their discomfort and not project it back onto you. Their stigma is not your problem. You are a bright shining star despite your struggles. 🫶🏻

Art isn’t “instinctive” you aren’t born with knowing how to draw. There’s nothing humiliating about putting in the work to learn a new craft.

My #poem "podunk, USA" is out now in the first issue of Outskirts Literary Journal, a journal of poetry and prose living in the periphery. www.outskirtslit.com/odin-meadows #poetry

In case you havent heard, there are 24/7 protests happening in major US cities such as Portland and LA. The protest in LA has been going nonstop for weeks.

MSM isn't reporting on it, and videos are being suppressed online.

Remember, the revolution will not be televised.

We need a radically, militantly kind agenda championed by people who aren't afraid to be radically, militantly kind.

And if that sounds gentle and cutesy, well. You are not understanding me when I say "militant"

Over 150 Jews and people of conscience are staging a sit-in at the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York City to demand that the U.S. stop starving Gaza immediately.

A figure cloaked in black with a single pale hand coming through the folds. It has sassy pink nails. Where the face should be, there are giant, grotesque teeth seemingly breaking through the page. Across the middle in dropping, lipstick pink letters reads the name of the publication: SALON SINISTER

She's cute, she's sassy, she will *remove your face with a single thoughtful bite*.

@slimyswampghost.bsky.social truly outdid himself with this piece for our cover. A lot of love is going into this publication, and it shows. JUST LOOK AT HER!

Issue one is coming soon, but watch out. We bite 😘

Let's talk about weird art.

Weird art, gross art, sexual art, violent art, all has its place and belongs. And you really need to stop acting like the existence of uncomfortable themes equals harm. That kind of censorship, which IS what that is, only serves to silence and abuse people.

Bro, nobody wants to promenade anymore and I’d love to bring this old pastime back. We need to faire the tour. Do you know what I mean? Why are we not strolling the De Young and Academy of Sciences circle, arm in arm while discussing the books we read all week in our fancy wears.

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple:

there is enough.

there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.

once you accept that there's only one question:

why don't we?

Kind of hard to focus when they're building concentration camps and threatening to feed citizens to alligators.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Horror authors of page and screen, I’m giving you my blessing to abandon any pretense of thematic subtlety. Now is the time to write your “The Stuff” or “Dawn of the Dead” or “They Live.” Take advantage of your power and make sure people don’t fucking forget that pulp is where the truth is.
