•Long Island low tide
•Florida swap rot
a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Never gonna watch The Summer I Turned Pretty, because the premise makes no sense.
It wouldn't take a whole summer to turn Pretty, it would take like an hour tops. You bite Pretty and drain her blood to the point of death, then feed her your blood. Boom. DONE.
Sick of TV shows that drag things out.
I’m so excited to have a new short story up at beautiful, queer @fifthwheelpress today! It’s the first of my “Messianic Panic!” series of stories featuring the giant ghost of Jesus visiting a Pennsylvania town in the 1980s. It’s probably not safe for work?

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.
