I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

it's really jarring to see how little media attention the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert received in comparison to the notable death of a non-elected leader of a right-wing organization.

quick! everybody buy THE SHAMSHINE BLIND so I can justify buying myself a bundt pan for Christmas

Don't care what it is, I'm buying this record immediately.

The badass return of crime novels by Nicola Griffith and Elizabeth Hand Griffith’s Aud Torvingen novels and Hand’s Cass Neary series are back in new editions and they’re terrific.

This is a nifty write up of both sets of novels—go read GENERATION LOSS!—plus an interview with me about why Aud, with her “slivers of strangeness” is a “unique character who could enliven a book in any genre”. Quite right!

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.

A fun thing to do if you can afford it is to give money to someone doing good work so that they both have more money, can do more work, and feel appreciated for doing the good work

Thread.
A heads up. I'll be doing themed witch drawings through the month of October, in the new style. (toned paper, pencil , gauche, chalk ) will be offering them daily at a reasonable price (because everybody should be able to afford art) Will be first come, first served though...

This. This this this this this. Build your shit. Own your shit. It's the only way forward. Nobody there but you.

They are literally canceling culture

The Right doesn't like this paradigm because they know they are shitty people

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

A Writer's Guide to Speculative Fiction: Science Fiction and Fantasy Check out A Writer's Guide to Speculative Fiction: Science Fiction and Fantasy - This manual full of hands-on, practical, put-the-book-down-and-start-writing advice speaks to new and emerging authors ...

Mentioned today in LA that I co-wrote a how-to write book; some ppl seemed interested in it. It's A Writer’s Guide to Speculative Fiction (co-writer is Crawford Killian). Hard to find now (small press), but the ebook is still obtainable. Intended as an intro for newbies

Wonder if Elric still holds up from 1982-1986 when I read tons of Moorcock🤔 Jerry Cornelius still seems depraved and timeless in a good way

Cross posting two bits of advice for a newbie writer:

1. Read like a writer (sometimes).

Find out why you like the writing you like, and see if there's anything you can adopt from that writer.

This needs a level of intentionality that's not there when you're just reading for pleasure.

Restaurant food. People use fresh ingredients and global cuisine much more.
Prestige TV. Hit a big lull after the Sproanos era but the recent spate of shows are -fantastic-
Small online artist/retailers. Ten years ago you could everything unique online came from EBay or with $50 shipping. ♥️♥️

Just reminding everyone that we still don't know who killed Kirk or why so can we all stop talking about how his murder is an assault on democracy or whatever.

We don't know anything so why are folks advancing a narrative that the regime has run with. It's really dumb

blocklist here. Feel free to add screenshots if you think I should check anyone out to add them.

There’s likely an organized campaign going on to incite you to say stuff that’s gonna get you suspended or banned (or worse). The right has mentioned the Bluesky reaction to this incident repeatedly. They’re here to find targets. Don’t let them rile you up and goad you into something you’ll regret.
