Text: "The Black Vampyre; Legend of St. Domingo" by Uriah Derick D'Arcy written in 1819. The story of an enslaved man in St Domingo (modern day Haiti) who was thrown overboard as his enslaver attempted to kill him. He not only survives, he lives forever, and marries one of his enslaver's descendants. Reminds me of "Sinners" in a way

Wanna hear a scary story?

The first American vampire was Black.

Seriously.

78 years before Dracula appeared in American literature, there was "The Black Vampyre" by Uriah D'Arcy.

It was written in 1819 as an antislavery critique and the effect the Haitian Revolution had on the States

im about to read the shit outta this

Soft Censorship of Diverse Books WNDB is collecting information on the soft censorship of diverse books across the US. Have you witnessed soft censorship in your community? Please share your experiences below. Your response can be…

Our friends @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social are gathering information about "soft censorship" happening in the US According to School Library Journal, soft censorship is a "quiet banishing that often comes without explanation." If you've seen it in your community, please respond to their survey

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I think people misunderstand that IT IS OKAY if a book makes you UNCOMFORTABLE, sometimes that is the author's intent, but what YOU DO with those feelings as the reader is YOUR responsibility, not an author's, and which is why using that discomfort as a crux to mortality police makes you a dick

This is a vivid example of “disability tax,” in which disabled folks are forced to endanger themselves physically, emotionally, or financially to participate in our expensive, inaccessible society.

One reason I advocate for wearing an n95 in public is reducing this “tax.”

Peaky Blinders meme: No fighting with regime-run accounts. No fucking fighting with regime-run accounts!

A trope map made for sludgepit. An edited photo of a pile of alligators gathered together, blurred and colour changed, makes up the background. The forefront contains SLUDGEPIT at the top with large letters. Glowing at the bottom is the words, 'ALLIGATOR BOY BY REVON M. CASTILLO'. In the middle is the placeholder cover of Alligator Boy, which is the ghost of a man imposed on the image of a greyed out cypress swamp. From top to bottom, left to right, in clockwise direction, the trope map reads: Revenge Against Abusers, Alligator Swamp God, Lots of Kinky Sex, Transition Through Monstrous Means, Bloody Happily Ever After, Queer Rage x Queer Gore, Overcoming Agoraphobia, Trans Man MC x Cis(?) Gay Man.

I'm so excited for this

A three by three image mood board that has a long underground hallway without end, a lit up skeeball machine, the back light of a car with a metal plate that says 2000, a brutalist structure, a sandy beach, a hand gripping someone else's forearm, a screen filled with lines of green code, blood on white tile with a hand doing the sign of the horns and a pair of white sneakers almost out of frame, and a single illuminated escalator in a dark room. In neon green text are the words Monitored Activity, Horror, Sci-fi, Unficion, @Astramachina. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

MONITORED ACTIVITY: A state-of-the-art security system arrives with the New Millennium, and shoppers at Prime Plaza can now spend their time and hard earned money with newfound peace of mind. That same luxury doesn’t extend to the mall’s employees. Hallucinations of missing girls and impossible hallways haunt Shaw's every shift. Footage of bloated corpses vomiting sand, violent indiscretions committed by management, and a hell-dimension of perverse delights makes the security guard equal parts sick and turned on. It’s a good thing that Shaw is impervious to shame. There is no serial killer, haunting, or starved alien life-form that can stop him from getting what he wants: PTO, and in his boss' pants. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

Two rough black and white sketches in the form of Polaroids. The one labeled Shaw Price '01 is of a young man with dark eyes and eyebrows, long hair tied back in a ponytail, he looks cocky and gay. The one labeled Eddie Conners 2001 is of a basic looking middle-aged man with short hair, serial killer glasses, and bags under his pale eyes. The entire graphic is covered with 2000s style sticker decorations: a glitter heart, a glitter star, a CD, and a swoopy star circle in neon green. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

In bright green text: Nov. 12, sentient malls, nostalgia-bait, final "guy", sexy hell dimensions, getting off on company time, t!m/c!m, evil DILF propaganda, everyone's an asshole, serial killer/potential victim. At the center of the graphic is the book cover for Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller: a mostly purple background with gltched out CRT monitors, and a banner on the bottom that says Welcome to the night shift. The graphic's overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

Baby's first #SLUDGEPIT? Ayo. Let's talk about my upcoming novella, MONITORED ACTIVITY.

📼 Sentient malls
📼 Serial killer/Final 'Girl'
📼 80s through 00s nostalgia (derogatory)
📼 MC [🏳️‍⚧️&🏳️‍🌈] is more than a little fucked up.

Luce stands and swings the door open, and his brain must still be half asleep, catching and winding up around the sight of Jasper’s long, pale legs under Luce’s shirt. It swamps them, swallowing their fingertips and brushing mid-thigh. Luce has never felt much larger than Jasper, but seeing it firsthand is doing something strange to him, something twisting in his gut and fluttering up in his esophagus. He blinks, rubs a hand across his chin, and focuses on the two mugs of coffee Jasper is pouring instead. “I hope you don’t mind that I borrowed your clothes,” Jasper says. “You didn’t bring anything?” “No.”

My second #SLUDEPIT post is for my published taboo horror novelette, FULGURITE. #P #HR

⛈️ the horrors of growing up different in a small town
🖤 isolated cabins in the woods
⛈️ weirdly sexual dreams
