A postcard, front and back. The front shows Colton Hall in Monterrey, California, which was the first Capitol building in California. Now it simply looks like a large, white mansion house in a rich neighborhood. It's two stories, with a peaked roof, and a columned porch in front with stairs leading up to the second floor from either side. It is surrounded by trees and a green lawn. The back reads: I am outside your house as you read this. I sent the postcard using your own mailbox. This stamp is one of yours and has your fingerprints on it. Everything traces back to you. Have you looked out the window yet? Oh yes, there you are, right on time. Right now you're noticing the smell of death in the room, wondering where that handyman went the other day, who you never saw leave. Look under the couch. The sirens are calling your name.

I am outside your house as you read this.

Nobody knows what they're doing, nobody makes money, and nobody reads it either!! ARE YOU IN OR WHAT?????

Happy 25th Birthday to Strange Horizons

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

During the first week of October, @spicycloaca.bsky.social and I are running an open sub call for the zine that will accompany their book Gore Poetics. 500 words max on the theme FLESH. Pay is 10 cents/word. Samir's book is weird, erotic, and often transgressive vibewise, so keep that in mind.

There’s a LOT going on right now, but the fact that there is a racist pedophile in the White House and so many people are cool with it is still fucking wild to me.

Nazi-punching horror. Fascism didn't die in 1945. Its grave was only temporary. Rising again, this undead ideology shambles into the present, gathering power and spreading destruction wherever it goes.This monster stalks t...

Hey, free ebook. Nazis eat shit.

Oh my god you guys they have less than three days and still like a whole bunch to go. It’s going to be so sad if another press is forced to shut down. There are so many other things that are fucking with art right now can we please not keep losing places that give us good stories?

The words “54% funded, only 4 days left” against a distressed background, along with the 3LBE icon and cover artwork.
