005: The Author as Miguided Activist: Why We Don't Publish Moralising Stories Sign up to the STP newsletterI’m semi-frequently asked what I mean when I say we publish stories that don’t moralise. After all, making space for more...

The STP newsletter has returned! In which I elaborate on what I mean when I say we don't publish moralising stories. Expect copious reference to Walter Benjamin.

For those who don't know, Cursed Morsels is based out of Minneapolis. You've probably noticed that shit's kinda fucked here. That said, thousands of people are organizing with their neighbors to stop fascism and provide mutual aid, which is pretty goddamn cool. Let's keep it up. ❤️

Stand up, fight back.

A digital painting of an ice cube, followed by several hands closed over each other with water pouring from them. Bold text on the art reads: "ICE MELTS".

so don't get too comfortable.

How many people has ICE killed at this point? We're getting so much out of MN now, but are there more across the country where ICE is deployed that aren't on video? DHS is actively working to cover up these murders, so will we ever know? Abolish ICE and do it before more people die!

Been dying to talk about this story and can't wait to check out all the great work it'll be featured with! Pre-order now and check out the other awesome anthologies put out by @frommausoleum.bsky.social.

Going into 2026 like...

Hopefully all this AI crap will spur a counter-revolution of genuine, human-made art. Theaters showing indie films, libraries hosting local artists, bookstores featuring work from local writers. If corporations are going to abandon human artists, then let's build communities that help them thrive.

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

Rough week for Detroit sports but think the Wolverines had a good season, all things considered. Disappointing ending but overall improvement from last year that they can continue to build on. Looking forward to their bowl game and what they do next year! Go blue!

Pareidolia I’m still not sure why I did this to myself. I was never going to own a house, yet there I was: browsing Zillow as if I could buy one the next day. It’s fun when you come across the weirder...

New horror story: Pareidolia

Exploring a neighborhood on Google Maps takes an unsettling turn when Chase witnesses a murder via Street View.

Would be remiss if I didn't mark the occasion with something V for Vendetta related. We got a glimmer of hope last night but we still got work to do, y'all. Keep up the fight, support each other, and let's build a movement that can't be ignored and won't be forgotten!

Waking up to great news to mark this November the 5th! Congrats y'all! Now it's time to get to work!

I think we need to bring back the fear of the sea. Deep sea mining can have massive ecological impacts and I'm not entirely sure it's worth it. Let's bring back the sections of the map we dare not tread, for there be monsters in those waters.

Still figuring out how to blend these, but I think it always goes back to the unknown. We didn't know what lurked in the dark, and we can no longer say for sure what's beyond our screens. Is the threat human, corporate, artificial, or are the ghosts in the machine more literal?

Superstitions surrounding luck fascinate me. They're just a small way for us to feel in control over the chaos of life, and stories like Final Destination have so much fun playing with them!

Hey y'all, I'm Bryce! I generally write occult horror and cyberpunk. And my childhood fear was probably dolls. Had my mom describe the plot of Child's Play to me as a kid and it scarred me for life 😅

Misunderstood Monsters: The Truth About Sharks - Reactor Are sharks really just mindless eating machines?

Though sharks have been vilified by horror writers for years, scientists and activists know they aren't so bad. The truth about sharks, at the SFF Bestiary:

There's just something about a good radio station that makes music hit different. Idk, maybe it's the fun bumpers or the commentary provided by the hosts between songs, but I find it far easier to just passively listen to 89X than whatever the algorithm decides on. Good curation helps too, I'm sure.

...that said, if the Red Wings wanted to go into quadruple overtime in Round 1 this year, I could live with that.

Between the Detroit Tigers and the Carolina Hurricanes, can I please have a team that doesn't go into extended playoff overtime? I'm still recovering from the last one!

Watching the Red Wings and I've reached the point where I'm cursing geometry...it's going to be a long season...

A few months late, but so excited to hear 89X came back on the air in Detroit! That radio station defined my taste in music as a kid. Definitely going to be streaming that as I work and looking forward to listening when I'm back in the area!

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Maybe House of Leaves has an edition where scents oscillate between pages depending on what's going on. One page smells like a musty old house, the next smells like dark room chemicals and celluloid.

Not the first to observe it but it bears repeating: If artists didn’t matter so much, they wouldn’t come after us first. Stay safe as best you can. Keep working.

A few years ago, when I was invited to resign from my job at a Sioux Falls ad agency, this meme was cited as one of the reasons Secretary Kristi Noem was very grumpy with me and, as I gathered, threatened the firm’s lucrative state contracts unless they did something about me. Please don’t share it. It’ll upset her, and she is apparently very fragile. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The meme features Kristi Noem on one side with the words COWBOY COSPLAY and Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the other with the words TRUE GRIT.
