A promo banner for BONE & BLOOD, with the text:

"There's something wrong in the forest. Can't you feel it?" Chloe curled her fingers around the branches, eyes half closed against the moonlight. "Something is hurt, or trapped, or lost."

"The trees haven't told me anything," Yara replied sullenly, but she closed her eyes too, reaching out with her feeling senses instead.

I'm genuinely very proud & excited for this book. It's been a lot of work, but I've written a positively *spectacular* fairy tale origin for Snow White & Rose Red (even if I do say so myself) & I'm VERY PLEASED with myself about it. :D

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

The willingness of racists to sabotage their own lives just for the chance to hurt someone else continues to be the most perplexing part for me. I don't hate anyone more than I love myself.

The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven.

#Booksky! Today is RELEASE DAY for BONE & BLOOD!

There is a story of a widow & her two daughters, Snow White and Rose Red, the most perfect & darling little girls who had ever lived.

This is not—quite—that story.

I'm so proud of this one, guys! Please RT! :)

Kristi Noem’s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and we’ll never forget it.

But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.

Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.

Screenshot of ProPublica webpage titled “Explore Financial Disclosures From President Trump and 1,500 of His Appointees,” accompanied by this blurb: “Use this database to explore potential conflicts of interest for President Donald Trump and his team. The documents disclose positions officials have held outside government, their assets and their debts, among other things.” A search bar prompts the user to search for a person or financial holding.

THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees.

Here’s how it works 1/

Good point! I've never made cc or any content for pay, so I had no idea how well 30% compared to other options.

And I totally agree with you -- I play with what I have now.

Reposting. I feel really sad about not supporting the creators in the new #Sims4 maker program, and I’m glad they get 30% of the proceeds. Kushner’s takeover of EA eventually getting 70% though? Can’t do it.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

I'm so full of political rage today, but alongside that I keep thinking of entertainment monopolies and one of the most wonderful antidotes to spoon-fed algorithm pap:

Tabletop gaming! Find games written and illustrated by humans and sit around with other people telling stories. Game up!

And people still ask me why I stepped down from the Creator Network and stopped buying stuff from EA (which is expected to sell this year to a group that includes Kushner's investment firm).

It's all connected -- oligarchs and grifters try to buy and con their way into every aspect of life.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I enjoyed it! As big a horror fan as I am, we keep finding films I haven’t seen before (including this one)!

So: cool setting, great lighting, fun color symbolism and goth steampunk Vincent Price count for a lot - but some people are *really* not meant for marriage.

Thanks, #horrorwatch!

I’m enjoying the folk horror side of this very much, from the animals in the film to the Stonehenge nod and the ruined abbey. The story is leaving me cold, but the vibes and aesthetic are fascinating. #horrorwatch
