Screenshot of a post by James Talarico on X criticizing Donald Trump over oil policy and Venezuela. The post claims Trump promised American oil executives favorable treatment in exchange for campaign donations and argues that U.S. actions in Venezuela are illegal, reckless, and corrupt. Below the post is a screenshot from The New York Times showing an article excerpt about U.S. plans for Venezuela’s oil industry. A highlighted sentence quotes Trump saying oil development “is going to make a lot of money,” emphasizing financial motivations tied to Venezuela’s large oil reserves.

Which is why many of us have a spotty publishing record tbh. I’ve always had a 5/5 schedule (20+ yrs), & with overloads can have a 6/5 schedule. That plus college reqrmnts for cmte work etc leaves no time to seriously work on ms dvlpmnt. LOTS of assumptions on time & expectations of unpaid labor.😡

Exactly.

Saw another post of yours, was enjoying your photos, then I saw this...and immediately followed bc I thought “my kind of people!”

I see them. As someone earlier said, BlueSky might’ve been having a wobble. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the article. I think some might feel uncomfortable being labeled a book banner, but I think many are deliberately trying to change language in an attempt to normalize their banning actions & get others on board. Either way, it’s disingenuous and pernicious and horrific.

This such an excellent CFP. @navsa2025.bsky.social

Ooh just got my ticket! I love how it’s online so this Texas scholar can attend!

Cover of Paul Tremblay’s novel Head Full of Ghosts. There seems to be an image of the outside of a house with a blurred image of a figure standing nearby. There appears to be a long-range photo of a hallway cast in shadows with the hallway’s end in light. Everything is off-kilter, giving an unsettling sensation to the viewer.

Was reading Tremblay’s Cabin at the End of the World but then heard about Head Full of Ghosts and now I’m reading both. Going to be fun what my brain turns these stories into as I read them simultaneously! #booksky #horrorsky #psychologicalhorror

Really hoping this is the real Mike! 😁 I mean, he’s had imposters on telegram so now I’m unsure. 😬

What's upsetting me most here is this isn't just a story about McBride. It's a story about whether we can be equally heard in the literal halls of power--the people's House. I know transgender attorneys, staffers, reporters, lobbyists, and interns on the Hill, all of whom are now labeled suspect.

It’s the eyes. Definitely the eyes.

No and no but I’m pretty sure I’m gonna love it.

Sitting here waiting for my 12:15 class and still feeling a tad unwell so no concentration in me to read. Campus internet is down and hoping it won’t be brought back up so I can let my class out early, go home & drink some hot tea. #smallwishes

Oof. The way I feel right now I’d say eff them. Traditional pub is rife with gatekeeping.😒 Changes, for sure, but still a lot of gatekeeping.

I’m excited to announce this new CFP for scholarly chapters to be included in “Contemporary Indigenous Horror” edited by myself and Krista Collier-Jarvis! The CFP is open to self-identifying Indigenous scholars and creatives, as well as allies.
