Oh yeah and thank you to @abbyhiggs.bsky.social for making me aware of the TWBW reading series!

Hey #Baltimore friends, come see me down in Pigtown next Thursday for some drinks & spooky season genre fiction! I'll be reading from a very trans, very queer & fun short story I wrote this year called Punk's Undead. 🤘🏻👻🖤

Flipping through it and it's delicious, I think it'll be my favorite one!!

Photo of a high quality print magazine called The Rebis: Tarot - Creative Writing - Art, with a red cover and Baphomet inspired illustration reflecting the Devil card theme of this year's issue. The magazine is laid on a quilt with a dusty mauve background, green and blue leaves, and red and white berries.

Love to sit back and see what just happens to arrive on the Full Moon. This time it's this greatly anticipated Devil issue of @therebis.com (a journal of #Tarot related creative writing and art) guest-edited by @megjoneswall.bsky.social ! 😈❤️‍🔥

A prison break is not ever more violent than the construction of the prison, or the punishment for escape. A prison break is not terrorism or oppression. It's the only possibility if the arc of history will bend toward justice. Our innate need to break free from prisons is the only true antifascism.

Nobody in US politics ever wants to talk about how Israel intentionally murdered their own civilians on 10/7, or how in the days leading up to the attack, Israeli forces were raping and shooting at Palestinians to provoke them.

Day 7: Possum Kingdom by The Toadies (1994). When I was sixteen there was no Twilight, there was this song and the Interview with a Vampire movie starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise which came out the same year.

Good to know, thanks!

‼️ We'll see! You know I can't resist giving the people what they want. 😉

Noted!

Plausible deniability about the person's identity, similar to a masquerade.

I had applied to an academic residency program to write critically about AI from an animist perspective this school year & I didn't get it, but that's probably for the best for my well-being, given how heated the discourse is. Still sometimes tempted to put together some essays about it though.

Moon is almost Full and it moved into Aries overnight 🔥

Day 6: NIN cover of Dead Souls by Joy Division named after Gogol's 1842 novel about AI. Er, about slaveowners counting the souls of dead serfs in their registers & bro's get rich quick scheme to aquire the property rights of these nonliving servants. 👀

He mad. 🥵

Thank you! This is the full front, while it was still in process (2018). I know it's kind of chaotic, but with the creepy patterns and colors I was kind of going for a disconcerting effect. 👻

Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely how I want to spend a fall evening!

I think you're right, but I don't feel inadequate because I am absolutely not writing for the people who have too much money so they look for more expensive versions of things. What I have to say is not for them, on purpose.

Thanks! I'm often sharing these kinds of resources and I wasn't aware of this one; will add it to my list! 💕

I'm not in the UK but thank you for doing what you do. 🫶🏻

Well don't I feel stupid

Love that pic, man!

This month I'm gonna be reading a bit of my unpublished science fiction at a dive bar in my old neighborhood and THAT whole vibe, happening during my favorite month of the year, is almost more joy than I can handle, it's too good. 🍂🦇🍺

Fuck despair. Fascists should have to fight for every inch they get, on principle alone.

The fight is over when the fascists are defeated, and not one minute earlier.
