New Editor Pick on Gavagai from @amandamblake.bsky.social!

Another one for today! Come and have a read! #WritingCommunity #WriterSky

Our Editor Pick for today: Colleen Anderson’s Love Bites. Happy #Halloween!

Our Editor Pick today was Susan L. Lin’s Revenge Dress. Amazing writer!

Yes I’m opening them up now!

We just launched a new website to publish horror stories for our submission call (these illustrations will be for those stories, or at least the first 10 or so) so I’m babysitting that but I’ll be freed up next week to dig in. I’m opening up my DMs too so please feel free to hmu there!

I’m gonna be publishing several stories on my website from various authors. They’re all horror, but this would be sort of a cover illustration for each story

Not exactly unfortunately. I just really dug those covers when I was a kid. These will be to illustrate stories I’m selecting to publish on my site. I’ll try to get something together tho!

Full illustrations - so my site is having a short horror story submission call and I’d like to have illustrations for maybe the first 10 stories we select to publish. So kind of a retro thing going back to Gammell’s work

Hey all - I am looking for an artist for mainstream horror illustration work. Maybe some Stephen Gammell-esque stuff, black and white/inky. I’m not sure how to articulate that so any help is appreciated! Oh and open to commissions in the near future. Tysm! #art

We are open for the first round of submissions for our #horror submission call #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriterSky

I feel like selling an old iPhone on eBay thrusts you into the world of Russian mobsters where the stakes are life and death and survival hangs on the results of an IMEI check.

My cat Bumpy spying my dog Weeze’s tail from his perch on the back of the sofa. The tail is out-of-frame. He has gold fur and an intent look on his face.

My cat Bumpy’s paw, reaching for Weeze’s tail ensconced in the couch blankets. Only the cat paw and end of tail are visible in the pic, amongst the couch upholstery and blankets.

Happy birthday to the sweetest girl in town… LOUISE! AKA “Weeze!” The big 10 today! #DogsOfBlueSky #WritersDogs

😂 he is uber dramatic. I think he’s over it finally

Omg my wife and I were away last night and our house sitter stayed over but Bumpy is so angry with us. He wouldn’t even deign to look at me until I offered him a small turkey peace offering. So temperamental 🙄

Just under a week to Gavagai’s grand opening and #horror short story submission call. Hop on over to gavagai.com and get an invite homie!

That’s exactly what I think! Adventure cat needs his fix!

Bumpy decided to just go stand in his little travel basket. He’s been doing this a lot. We started taking him for walks when we took Weeze, and I wasn’t sure he liked it. But now I think he’s really starting to dig it. This basket pops right onto the wheeled stroller thing

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Submissions open October 13 for #horror! We’re a new paying market for short fiction and a Bluesky-adjacent writing community. Join in the fun! #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriterSky

It’s an acorn year. The barrage of acorns falling on the roof and skylights is like gunfire. It’s every couple of years and I always forget how loud it is

Did you know that Starburster is the only song that was allowed to be recorded in Ireland for the last two years? It’s Irish law.

Hey all! Please give my new project a peek. It’s a writer-focused community that leverages the open Bluesky infrastructure to provide a new way for writers to socialize and publish. We’re excited to open later this month and are looking forward to showing what the team and I have been building

My dog Weeze in bed staring wistfully out the window behind me and to the left in profile. She is a pit bull-type dog and has gold fur. Her overall affect is wistful as though considering the chilly weather to come.

When I was a kid I had… not quite an imaginary friend, but like an imaginary cool kid I knew named “Boy Hoshens.” Every time I watch Alien: Earth I think of that when I hear “Boy Kavalier.”
