books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

A screencap from the Wikipedia page for cobbler, which includes variations: Betty, grunt, slump, buckle, sonker, boot

This list of variations on cobbler reads like someone was brainstorming the worst insults they could think of for a coworker

Friends, @griffski.bsky.social's fabulous new book, Eat the Ones You Love, is out today. Do you love Little Shop of Horrors? Do you remember the weirdness of working retail at a mall? Do you like great books that conjure both those things and more? Here you go: bookshop.org/p/books/eat-...

The answer is write more, unfortunately

American. Citizens. Cannot. Be. Deported.

I know we all want to be concise, but we simply cannot use the shorthand terms of the fascists when they describe wildly illegal & unconstitutional things.

Extrajudicial renditions. Kidnappings. Wildly unconstitutional fascism. All right there as options.

When we call for politicians to "do something," this is what we mean. Not speeches or op-eds or campaign rallies, but using every tool available to disrupt the advance of fascism.

‘SINNERS’ is estimated to earn a phenomenal $42M domestically this weekend, a 10% drop

Long live evil best of romance

Long live evil best of fantasy

LONG LIVE EVIL was the only book on both @nytimes.com 2024 Best of Fantasy and 2024 Best of Romance lists, with praise for both a ‘careening meta-fantasy delight’ and the
‘gorgeous, smoldering rage at the heart of this story’

Israeli military admits ‘professional failures’ over Gaza paramedic killings IDF says it is dismissing deputy commander for giving ‘inaccurate report’ on shooting that caused global outcry

Israeli investigation finds no problem in the massacre and point blank execution of 15 paramedics and the subsequent lies about it. Like, they admit it happened, but it's fine. This is what happens when a genocidal nation isn't held to account.

i loved this film so muchhh

Honestly, me too.

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

25 Ways TWIN PEAKS Changed Pop Culture Debuting 35 years ago, Twin Peaks might have originally seemed like a short-lived blip on the radar. But it would up having a profound, decades-long impact on pop culture.

#TwinPeaks turns 35 today, and in honor of the late, great David Lynch and @markfrost.bsky.social's TV masterpiece, for @nerdist.bsky.social I run down 25 ways the series changed pop culture forever: nerdist.com/article/twin...

Thank you @markfrost.bsky.social and David and all those involved for changing my life 35 years ago. What a beautiful and wonderful community Twin Peaks is. There is a light in all the darkness.

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Called it.

What god do you pray to for this to happen in your own country, asking for a me

Idk, I’m not sure Gideon the Ninth is an appropriate comp title when your deal announcement is het-focused. Like, it’s not just bones. The queerness is kinda a core element, y’know?

BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington state, overseeing Shilling v. U.S., just blocked the anti-trans military ban nationwide.

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

With the White House using OpenAi to make racist propaganda in studio ghibli art style there has never been apt scene in anime history:

A cocktail ringed in light sits in the sun beside WE ARE THE CRISIS by Cadwell Turnbull, masked in shadow.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about WE ARE THE CRISIS by @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social. The second Convergence Saga, this mosaic novel of monsters & secret societies explores solidarity. Our drink, The Black Egg, is a dark stirred cocktail for the cold of the year.

So, I read Dayspring by @meakoopa.bsky.social and had a lot of Big Feelings about it. Basically, it was stunningly beautiful and I am transformed. There are not enough stars to rate this highly enough.
